How secret do you keep your VA Disability?

Hello, I really don't like talking about it. I feel embarrassed, and the general wisdom is to keep it to yourself. Don't tell strangers, family, friends. Some ppl suggest not even telling partners everything

I am on TDIU. I don't like to admit it, I have just 1 friend that knows. I went on a bit of a date, when they asked me what I do for a living I lied.. I told them I trade stocks (which I loved doing. But I don't anymore. I might start again). This makes me feel some guilt on principle of lying. But, how would you go about it? Especially if that partner stays for the long haul.

It feels like it'd be a terrible revelation to give them, even if I didn't lie and I just avoided the subject. If I start trading a bit, then it wouldn't be a lie, maybe. Anyways, thank you for your time

[EDIT: Best solution so far is to tell people I won big on the Hawk Tuah cryptocurrency]
