My stepbrother committed suicide yesterday and I've yet to tell any of my friends, and frankly, I'm not sure that I will for the reasons you just laid out. The guys I'm friends with are generally chill and empathetic, but I can't picture a scenario where I share this with them. I don't know, maybe I'm still processing it and I'll feel the need to reach out at some point, but for now, my wife knows and that's enough for me.
