Good luck with the new strategy.

I agree with your pdoc that too much disclosure can invite unwanted attention.

If you have to walk away from situations, it's ok to do that too... maybe try not to wait until the last minute when you are already frantic. Better to walk away calmly when you start getting yellow-alert feelings. If you want to offer an explanation, stay away from personal stuff. Use trite excuses like you have to feed the dog or check on some cooking.

You have a good weekend too!
