This gets to what I was telling choosey. I had a friend who never opened up that much in general and even though we worked well together, he never invited me into that circle. I don't think it was because he thought I didn't respect him, I think that he just didn't mix his being gay with his work. He did bring his partner to an engineering dinner once, but that was it. I just don't think most people want or need a huge circle of friends that know THAT much about them, especially when the public at large can consider this behavior controversial or even, embarrassing. It's almost worse when people express embarrassment about something which you don't have embarrassment. I tend to have only the core of friends that I would share that type of stuff with and then there are those other people whom I wouldn't (everyone else). As I said, I've got things in my family that I wouldn't share outside of a close circle of friends and family. I wouldn't share them here under any circumstance, even though I post under an alias. It's not that I'm ashamed or secretive, but they are personal matters. This medium doesn't reward personal disclosures in any way that would motivate me to do so publicly.
