Default Defending One's Actions

As someone who tends to march to the beat of her own drum, I very often find myself trying to explain or defend my actions to others whom I feel aren't supportive or who have expressed some displeasure at something I have done ... I guess this is part of the "disease to please" syndrome. Today while meditating, the thought came to me "Just stop defending yourself - there is no need".

So, my question is:

When do you explain yourself, when not? When do you defend your actions, when not?
