If I hide anything it's because I don't like having to explain myself. Explaining yourself always comes across as an apology or admission of guilt or something.
I'd love to see how others think about this.. (OR if you make a poll)..
I never thought of it as an apology etc..
I think its an interesting point you've made.. Wish you'd start a new thread with this thought.
No one person gets all of it from me. Collectively, there may be a handful of people in my world who could piece most of it together. Not that they give two bits enough to sit around trying to unravel my past, but I trust different people with different aspects of my life. I still keep a small part to myself that will go to the grave with me, I believe everyone does.
I don't hide anything from my parents anymore. Not since I was in my early 20s. What is the point?
Well, I was 18 at the time of that vacation. I've always spared them details they wouldn't like, though... Now it’s a little more scary as they just “may” watch me from above…
My life is mostly an open book. My memory is far too poor to try to remember who I'm hiding what from.
On the other hand, my grandmother and my mother went to their graves not ever having seen the rather large tattoo that covers about 20% of my torso. They didn't like my small ones, all of which are strategically located to foster good relations with prospective employers.
Sure, there are some things I will share with some people and not with others - depends on how trustworthy they are. But I'm not an open book, and no one is entitled to know everything about me.
I talk about it here but most people don't know how hard it is. I know that's why I usually go to the same places - I count the steps - dumb stuff like that; sometimes I feel like I'm pretending - for example, if someone walks toward me and I don't look like I recognize them, I have to say - (as they come really close) - Hi or whatever - if I talk about it, most people don't want to hear it.
