I tend to be quite reserved at first, and when Im having issues tend to keep them to myslef, but Im learning that its usually better to talk about stuff that try and jam the lid and keep it all inside.

Very open about non personal stuff dirty jokes (  ) and CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED about private stuff (except with Mum, my stepmum and DP). Which a lot of people find suprising

I'm pretty open, straight up and not afraid to speak up. I usually take things just that little bit too far and then think oh just shut up why don't you.
Although there are degrees of openness depending on who I am talking to. DH and my sisters are probably the people who I am most open with.
Serenity that so cracked me up, and reminded me of my antenatal group (although its not quite that full on) Some of the topics we talk about sometimes I think would be an eye opener to our DH's!!

it depends on what it is that i am being open about....for example, i am really open about my miscarriages, but have been pretty closed about my journey (although that is changing).
i have been hurt badly a couple of times by so called friends, so now im careful about who i tell what if you know what i mean.
I am really open with DH and my closest friend and my mother, I tend to avoid anything online that is going to involve me having a major opinion as i just cant be bothered if it turns nasty
so i would say i fence sit most the time...lol

I am fairly reserved, unless its my DH or closest friends. It takes me a while to build up trust in another person, but at least I know the friends that are still around are worth it

I am reserved when I dont know people, but once I feel comfortable I am fairly open.
I also tend to answer questions too honestly. My first week at a new job I had to get CD21 tests done. I quietly told one of my colleagues I was just had to duck out to get a blood test. She immediately asked "what for?", I was so unprepared for that question that I responded "My GP thinks I am not ovulating, so have to get bloods done to check"
She has never questioned me again!

I think im a bit of a fence sitter as well i tend to be quite reserved depending on the topic
A few years ago i had some very personal information used against me as blackmail so i guess i have trust issues which really sucks. I try to be very careful about what i say, and to who i say it to.
Then again if its about a issue i feel strongly about i will add my 2c

I think it depends on the topic.
Everyone knows we are TTC, but noone know about our sex life or anything like that.........
With my kids I'm pretty open.
I don't have much to hide
