inquisitive about others but protective about self

i have a really weird feeling all the time. whenever i talk to new people, i like to know about them and i ask a lot of questions. but when it comes to me, although i want them to know about me but as soon as they ask questions about me, i get really uncomfortable and try to deflect from the questions. i dont know why i am like that. let me know if you have any answers that i dont.

Hey! Thank you for reaching out. If it’s the general inquisitiveness that doesn’t bother the other person then it’s fine. About you not being able to express can be something you need reflect. Tell me are aware of yourself? Why you escape in such situations? You can always try to be polite and let them know the basic details about yourself that you are comfortable sharing. It not always necessary to open up completely in the first conversation. You should be aware about yourself and the details that you would like the other person to know about you.
