[comportment]

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them.....
And when you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you have said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it.

That's the worst, I think.

When a secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.
