gg,
Once I tell a "secret" I'm immediately ashamed of myself, that someone else knows now and all I want to do is hide. When friends get close enough for me to share, I may tell them something about what happened to me and then I will avoid them (maybe forever) until I'm back on even keel. But I always feel like there is an imbalance of power.
I know it's the "telling and nobody listened" aspect of my problems. It's all or nothing for me, and I've tried to start to learn that it is not appropriate in many situations, even medical ones because I have found that people absolutley do treat me differently when they know and I become hypersensitive to their response (I project most likely).
