If we somehow grow to be adults without realizing that we need to be discrete and circumspect about what we reveal of ourselves to other people ... well, then we have not been very observant in our growing up, nor are we learning from our experiences.

I have a flip-side argument on that subject. I'm a very open person. Becoming so was a conscious decision a few decades ago, so I have a little different perspective. One advantage of being open is that you can't do things you would be ashamed to have people know. It would create too much internal conflict. Being personally open also tends to decrease one's taste for gossiping. It pretty much destroyed mine.

I hope I didn't impose upon you too much talking about my self-help efforts. I shall spare you a report of the physical aches I'm about to work out in the pool. <g>
