This is a very subjective and personal choice - I have only shared with select friends and family members - those I trust to be respectful. I have not told my work/colleagues, because I don’t think it’s relevant to them. If that changes, I may change my mind. Most importantly, share it when and where you are comfortable. It’s your truth, don’t feel pressured to share for the reasons or interests of others.
