Secretive?

Do you think you are more secretive than nt?

I didn't used to think so, but these days I do .
I'm not directly that way, but sort of end up that way. I keep a Lot of very normal situations secret.
 
I don't know about NTs in particular, but I think I'm more secretive in general than others. Which admittedly can be as much of a liability as an asset. :oops:

At least I'm wiling to post as much here. Otherwise I wouldn't even be prone to discussing it much of anywhere else.

I know from experience at least in business that more often than not, consistent transparency simply gets you burned in an otherwise predatory environment. Where you learn to ration and compartmentalize your own truths for your own good.
 
You have to be more guarded in this day and age to protect your identity and reputation, so, regarding secrecy, I think it's more a matter of being smart vs. dumb than Aspie vs. NT.
 
I am very secretive because anything can be used against you. I tend to keep my interests that I don't want to share with everyone to myself.
