Is it irrational to think that if I tell someone things about me, that they'll tell someone else?

I don't know if it's irrational or real.

I'm not trying to share anything crazy.

But sometimes, the " why are you the way you are" question will come up from people.

Some of the people mean no harm and are genuinely curious and I know it.

Even still, I feel that I can't inform them or share with them because they might tell someone whom I [i] don't[/i] want to know ( people who might try to manipulate me with their newfound information),

or that they will lose interest.

Why do I care what they think you might ask?

Because certain people have cared enough to inquire about my actions, or lack of sharing/ getting close with them

Not at all, because there really are people who can't be trusted. Some of them are otherwise very nice people, but just can't resist the urge to gossip.

Share whatever you feel is appropriate only with people you know and trust, and you will have fewer regrets later in life.
