Is it something bad happening to your kids? That seems perfectly appropriate to share

I don't fucking want to think about that during a fucking team building exercise. And I don't think anyone else wants to hear that, either.

Neither would I. I can only think of this question having any place in such a situation if you suffix it by "at work" and exclude the obvious things such as getting fired or the company going bust.
I'm a parent. You can probably pretty easily infer what my greatest fear is.
Would I share that? Fuck no! Not only am I not particularly willing to get that intimate with a bunch of strangers, I also don't want to be a huge fucking downer. What I do want is to recognize that while you can speed-run friendship & bonding to some degree, it's fucking inappropriate to try to do so at work. It's work. I'll make friends if I make friends, but otherwise I'm out at 5, physically, mentally and emotionally.
