I've been thinking I don't really communicate much of how MS is affecting me to people around me. It's not that I'm afraid of how they'll react or anything but I feel like I'd prefer to spare them the misery or something. The phrase "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" comes to mind. Also I leave it up to others to ask questions which I will answer but I don't like to randomly drop information on them. On the other hand, people seem surprised when I say I can't do something or when I decline something for MS related reasons. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If so, any insights or advice?
