I think that you can be upset initially, the question is whether you stay upset. And so much of that has to do with who the person was to you? A close friend or sister, or someone from work with whom you only have a professional relationship? I have had people cross professional boundary lines w/ me about getting therapy. It was manipulative and hurtful and I think I have every right to be upset with their misbehavior. On the other hand, I have had similar conversations w/ people I trusted and that felt very differently.
As for the question of how much you "wear your heart on your sleeve," I think it is really hard to know. People vary so much in their ability to tell how someone else is doing. People who tell me that they can see I'm doing much better when I'm much worse. Or people who don't notice when I'm sitting next to them and crying! I try to take a very cosmic POV on it: if they noticed perhaps someone needed to notice, you know?
Now this has nothing to do with whether you actually are crazy! Just kidding, only someone else who has been in the same spot can make such a joke! But seriously, I hope things look up soon.
Best,
EE
