In my experience, people respond to that.

I do. I am no longer trying to hold up appearances. I am an expert self-deprecator (too much maybe).
In my current situation, I am talking about somebody who knows about my dirty laundry (well, not in all detail, but I have never been this open) and I know some of hers as well. It kind of makes things easier but it doesn't bridge the gap ...
