Are you open or secretive?

There are things which obviously you can't hide but sometimes I think its good to be secretive on some aspects of life. For example would you tell your parents you've got your driving test or job interview in a few days? whenever I've booked a driving test or been called to a job interview I've not told anyone about it and I've done very well. If I did tell everyone then I would probably get so much hassle and advice that I've heard countless times before and I'd be under more pressure to do well. Do you understand?

I agree with you...lol...and I know what you mean about not telling anyone about interviews...it only makes me more nervous, especially when they ask the when, what, why, where questions...lol

It depends who with and what the topic of conversation is.

with some friends I'm very open, on tsr i'm quite open, with my family and people I don't know very well, I'm secretive.

I tell people what they need to know IF they ask
With friends on TSR I'm really open, but in real life I'm secretive. I don't know why I'm like that :s-smilie:

I guess it depends on the different situations and the people around you that will determine when and who you will be open or secretive with...

Generally quite open - things like interviews and such are certainly not an issue, but there are some issues I am not so open about...
Generally I'm quite secretive, for no real reason. Funny that. I didn't tell my parents about my last girlfriend for months.

I try to give the perception of being open, but really not giving much up.

I don't think I'm secretive; if someone asks about me I tell them, otherwise not.
