When Steve said to share your shame, I didn't think he actually meant to post it as a reply to the thread, but to stop hiding it from the people in your life.
It seems like everyone ignored the question I asked earlier, so I'll ask again: how do you balance honesty with respecting the privacy of others? For example, if my shame is "I did sexual acts X and Y with person A," the sharing would naturally not be appropriate, right? If I share, I share for the other person as well.
I find the idea of total honesty very appealing, but it has some practical drawbacks. This is one of them.
