> A co-worker replies that it could be the medication I'm on ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^To which you should have replied: "What medication?"
If they repeat what you had inadvertently blabbed previously, you then say, "Oh, that! I have to take an aspirin a day to thin my blood."
That should end it.
If it doesn't, then I would say: "Shut your hole, honey, unless it's making money." (I'm assuming your co-worker is a female. For a male co-worker I would tell them to "Go piss up a rope and mind your own business.")
I realize that this may be vile, vulgar, crass and crude, and probably out of character for you, my dear Willow, but sometimes you have to resort to such things to "change small minds." ( Besides, re. these responses: what did you expect from someone born in Brooklyn, NY? Miss Manners?)
Kingfish: people come and go in the course of a lifetime ... set your sights on someone who will share with YOU the way you share with THEM. Sharing is good. It should be encouraged. And don't become selfish because you'll gravitate toward other selfish people, what a drag, and you'll get no where with anyone.
