That's exactly the way I handle it. If I don't tell anyone, they can't hurt me. I've been hurt by insensitve comments way too many times, and I've had Ts say, "you have to talk about it to other people in order to get better." Well, that's bull#$%#, at least for me. You probably have to talk about it with the right people (babblers, of course)but you always have to be on guard to protect yourself.
I don't think this is the best approach, either, but it is very self-protective, which is more important to me at this time.
