This hardly sounds stupid to me--it sounds very smart--aware of your needs at this moment in time. Even "The Courage to Heal", which is a kind of "bible" of advocacy for sexual abuse victims, strongly advocates staying aware of how much to reveal and when, and being aware of what you can tolerate and what you can't. The last thing you need is to to be flooded by traumatic feelings.
So it is not stupid, it is smart.
