Are you afraid I would say something hurtful if you did reveal that aspect of yourself?

Yes. Maybe not you, but someone else.
Some people think that if I'm not successful, it must mean I'm not actually talented. They fail to take into account that I have anxiety and low self-esteem/confidence.
Others give me crap for being underemployed. I don't have the confidence or the desire to do what I was going to do, and my next option (teaching) would involve a certification or permit. My personal life is too unstable to make a decision about how to go about that now and I wouldn't know how to go about it by myself. The career counselor at my university didn't help much.
So no, I feel less and less comfortable sharing about myself. I already had avoidant traits, and maybe a higher functioning version of the personality disorder, especially now that I have to retreat back into myself to protect myself. And after I had just started to develop a personality at work. Oh well.
