It's complicated again. Trouble is that you have the potential to miss out on opportunities. i.e. before I start a project in the electronics space, I mention it to my friends who are interested in electronics; they then have the opportunity to say, "Oh here's some information I found earlier" or "here let me help you with that"; in various ways that you don't get to take advantage of if you secretly hide all the things you do until they are done.
You could compromise between the two, by telling friends who are genuinely supportive/helpful/motivating, but declining to broadcast.
Most definitely; it's about knowing how/why these things happen and making the best of the effects.
