A fellow Marine vet I work with asked what I thought and how I felt about Afghanistan. The civilian that has no idea about my past, because it is mine and I share it with who I choose to share it with, now knows I'm not nearly as calm and collected as I portray and appear. She also knows how much I pay attention to everything going on around me. She also responded as I expected her too because I triggered her fight or flight response and she went into self preservation mode. Hell, he didn't even get to finish saying Afghanistan before I started. I even went into this, I've fully revealed my level to two people I work with.
