to the op- your on a slipery slope.
a. to all those that said its good for the listener to hear what the op feels- thats entirely wrong from a kiruv perspevcive. most people who are thinking of following more or on the road already need two things- a loving caring respecting mekarev who wont judge them and appreiates all theyve done and 2. a role model. someone who they look at and think “ya, i wanna be like that”. if you tell him/her about yiddishkeit but then say “but im not sure if that something i like” or “i sometimes dont keep that one” then your destroying yourself as a role model. bear in mind that bts arent yet aquainted with the things that everyone is makpid on or not. for all they know, when you tell them its too hard for you to wash neigel vasser next to your bed its as chomur as saying that bishul is something you havent taken on on shabbos. i caution you strongly to never share these things with someone. it can have disasterous effects.
