she is right in general, but it is not her call to make. you are also entitled to your privacy. i have psycho-medical issues that i do not share with every tom, dick and harry.
i am sure that a lot of people would not only relate, but better understand some of the things i do, like blow things off at the last minute because i am just too tired. but from there, lots of people would take one more step and find me to be someone who is 'defective'. i'll stick with the vague impression that i am slightly unreliable, thanks.

i think you will slowly let your guard down with people who will understand. but you can and should do it in your own time. until then, there is nothing wrong with being a private person.
