I figured this is how I function. If I were really worry about something, I won't/can't tell anyone about it and goes into isolation. I might call someone up and randomly chat about something else. Anything else. If I were semi worry about something, I tell that one person in a non-chalant way. I would however, have to make sure that it is not something that would cause concern in that person. So the more insensitive he/she is, the better.

I guess that is why D is great as a friend. I could probably tell him I have cancer and he would said, "Oh no..." then a guy would walk by and he won't remember a thing. Ok, maybe that's not fair, he is a good friend. But I don't have to worry about making his day any less pleasant because I had problems. He will tune it out if necesary, he would tell me to shut up if necessary. Makes it so much easier.
