And even then, there are appropriate and inappropriate times to bring up certain pieces of information.

For example, I’m not embarrassed about the fact that my mom died when I was young. But it would be deeply weird to open a job interview by saying, “Hi, I’m [name] and my mom died when I was young.”

I’m not hiding that information from employers. But maybe we should know one another a little better before I bring it up.
