Me neither. I keep my work and personal life separate. Always have. I have never been comfortable sharing home issues with co-workers or discussing my problems with them.
You don't owe these people any kind of explanation and you don't have to share anything with them.
It's none of their business at the end of the day and it's better to have a sense of mystery about yourself anyways!
