All I can say is it's partially due to our introverted personalities and partially fear based.....fear of having our privacy invaded, fear of being judged or ridiculed. So we choose to keep quiet as a protective mechanism. Also included are examples of his sketches.

That line, "He has no interest in his past life, and if others evince any, it makes him fearfully uncomfortable." I swear it still feels as if they are talking about me in the here and now. It gives me the tingles from my head down my spine.
