No... personally I'm haunted by stuff from the past. I wish I had the ability to put it all in a box & forget about it. I do think you're correct about how not constantly talking about stuff that happened hurts you because other people assume you have never suffered. I don't talk about any of what I have experienced in my life. And I do believe that, as a result, there is an assumption I never suffered. It's kind-of the proverbial "catch 22". People don't really want to hear it to begin with. But if you don't talk about it they assume nothing happened. I don't know what the answer is... or if there even is one...
