I may say some things here and there but I don't just offer the information up; the person will really have to say something of interest for me or on the other hand really get to me in a bad way because I will end up standing up for what I believe in.
I agree, most of the time this sort of thing doesn't really come up in average interactions. And it's very rare that anyone actually asks me pointed questions about my views on the nature of reality and the specifics of my spiritual practice.
The wisdom I'm gleaning from all the responses here seems to be that privacy is not the same as lying or even secrecy. If someone in a casual setting asked me enough respectful questions, I would be excited to open up about my experiences.
And of course, all my Scorpio energy loves having hidden depths... walking around with the Dark Lords and Demons in my heart and by my side. It's just lovely.
