Did you hold something back when you could have told all?

Sometimes people don’t say things even though they are in a situation where they should confess or open up. Maybe it’s about something that happened in the past that you are ashamed of, but the reason for shame is gone. Maybe you are hiring a psychologist to help you, but you don’t give the therapist all the information they need to really help you. Maybe you do not come clean to a spouse about something that could actually help change things for the better. Instead you remain stuck because you don’t talk.

What was the situation? Why didn’t you come clean? What were the consequences of your action?
