Why give anyone information they can use to hurt you? I never could understand why some people feel they need to be so honest and open to other people? Specially NOT at work! I tell no one any thing about myself except my doctor. And even then I am careful.

While I understand the protectiveness of your personal issues, I partially agree. When you say it it sounds like you're saying it's never anyone's business and on a certain level that can be true but with friends, loved ones and very close people there comes a time when it may be important to share more of yourself in the name of being closer and intimacy (not sexual intimacy but emotional) Just the same as any real detailed and personal stuff it is very true one should keep this to themselves in most situations..... but if you ever want to have a real friend that understands you at your inner core it's completely unavoidable to eventually share this stuff.
Again though I reiterate that this is with very close and trusted people though.
