He sounded pleased, and the request for some positive news about her life hit her the wrong way again. This time to a lesser extent, but the first news that came to mind, she knew she didn’t want to share. Part of it was personal - there was a time he’d been one of her best friends, but if he didn’t want her at her worst, he couldn’t have her at her best.

She’d tried to be positive last time, when she’d told him honestly she was working on better handling disappointments life handed her. He hadn’t liked that either.
