Private people
« on: January 16, 2011, 07:07:28 pm »
Are there any people that respect their privacy or do they just put it all out there? Something I am seeing on this forum..lots of people talking about personal issues and it kind makes me  :o

The very fact you are on this forum....you have no privacy at all...in fact most Americans do not even realize how un-private their daily lives really are....

So true! Once you put it on a forum, or facebook, it is there F-O-R-E-V-E-R. The answer is that I dont put anything private out there. I might say I have kids, but never their names. I will name my state, but nothing more specific. And my 'relationship problems' are exactly that, mine.

Then again, I am a moody, anti-social grouch, so take it with a grain of salt:)

Its the anonymity in it.  You can give details to people who you don't know in real life more comfortably than you would to someone you see on a day to day basis.

And be rude to them! People do so many ignorant things on the internet.

Don't ever post anything that you don't want people to know. Thats what I do.

Anything you post, can and will be used against you. (In some way or another.)
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.

I sometimes wonder about the things that people post.

I agree that it is probably the anonymity of it. And also people who are having relationship problems just want to vent them somewhere and have someone else validate their feelings....even if they don't know the person.

I have always tried to remember that anything I post is out there for the world to see FOREVER so if I wouldn't say something to someone's face then I try not to say it anywhere else. :)

The anonymity may have something to do with it, but I also think what's socially acceptable is quickly changing in society.  I hear people say things and see them do things I would never dream of, but not just on online forums, but out in world as well.

I don't have any secrets, but I avoid all the crap on here anyway. I'm here to make money, so that's what I talk about.
