Hi Motts,

I am sorry that happened to you and now you feel vulnerable.

I know it's not a good feeling to have. Don't beat yourself over it. It is regretful but maybe it's a learning opportunity for yourself?

It's good that you're trying to examine why you did that. Trying to process it, write it down, discussing it with others and understanding your behavior can be self healing and help you adjust your behavior if it happens again.

Did the other person react strongly with emotions, words and expression? Are you sure they were paying attention? I say this not to invalidate your experience but because most people are concerned about themselves moreso than an acquaintance. Maybe they might not have noticed you didn't want to reveal it.

If they bring it up, I think you have a right to say you don't want to discuss it again or that it was a misunderstanding so it's irrelevant for discussion.
