I don't share my life much on SW

How about you? Very talkative or very secretive?
Top | New | Old
I’ll share something if it can help someone learn from a situation. I’ve been though a lot (mostly craptastic) but I’ve never regretted anything! And I tell people that most because if they are regretting something, most often they don’t want to ever think of it or look back onto it and see what they can learn from that particular thing. Yes it can be hard, horrible, bad, sad, cause tears, anger, anxiety, etc. but once you are able to fully process it (and it can take years sometimes, others a few minutes) you become better in many ways that you didn’t realize you could become. You grow in mental fortitude, emotional fortitude, sometimes physically are better as well.

But if there is something that can actually be related to and help someone be better and make their day better, I try. Being nice and sharing kindness is something that’s insanely rare these days.
I've learned to be discrete about the things I share. Through their unfounded and fear-based beliefs, people so readily take out of context what they read about someone. Their resulting comments can trigger similar reactions in others, prompting rumors and the spread of misinformation.

It's important to be careful about what you share about yourself in such a scared, reactive, litigious society. So many people are looking for their next fear fix.
I’ve shared some very personal things here but for the most part, I keep it light. Not so much because I’m keeping secrets, it’s just better for my state of mind.

@OlderSometimesWiser My family is very rich. People don't want to hear about that. And I'm quite young. Not much to talk about there.
@SW-User I kinda go with the flow. Sometimes a post has me thinking and wanting to share more. Other times it’s just a quick reply and back to scrolling.
@SW-User Seriously, delete the info about your family. It makes you an instant target.

I like to chat about anything and share my experiences and I fear I am really "addicted" to chat...

I am open as I keep myself anonymous on here...

I'm not very talkative, but I wouldn't say I'm secretive. If anyone wants to know anything about me I'm happy to tell. I just don't offer much information without being prompted.

I'm new here but have met and talked with very nice people in dm so I really enjoy the friendly community on here. Here to chat about anything if you want to dm 🙌
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
There's enough info on me in my about me and on my posts to write a book.

That doesn't mean that's everything about me though. Just far to much for most to sort through.

Someone took the time on this site to feed what they could on me to an AI.

They ran out of room! 🤣

I say what I say......my face in that lil box. When I post things about myself... usually the ones I struggle with. I speak them....take away their power over me.
Jenna76 · 36-40, F
I tend to be hesitant at first until a trust and comfort is established especially since most chats/messages are one and dones. After that I will open up.
Convivial · 26-30, F
Depends... Some I've chatted with for years... There's a certain sharing that does go on
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
I probably share to much, but I am careful. I don't use names or photos on here
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I feel pretty comfortable on here and like getting advice so I am much more open than I am offline.
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
I can be both. There are some things that i choose to not talk about so i won't respond to it.
Reject · 31-35, M
Sure. I’ll share parts of my life sometimes. I talk about my job occasionally.
WillaKissing · 56-60, M
I share about mine, and I do not see the need to be secretive or a to make up lies. Heck look at my profile picture and you already see my greatest secret posted as well as in my about me section.
Jessmari · 46-50
Sometimes I get the urge to share, but more often than not I suppress it.
popmol · 26-30, M
i'm pretty talkactive!
exexec · 70-79, C
We do most of our sharing in dm
mindstruggle · 31-35, F
I talk a lot. ☹
SW-User
@mindstruggle I'm chat challenged.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@mindstruggle not as much as you think, and it's always nice hearing from you.
Lilymoon · F
Nahh not much at all
Kiesel · 56-60, M
I hardly share anything anymore
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
Depends on who I’m talking to
SW-User
@SwampFlower I haven't talked with anyone yet. I just post and reply to posts.
squared · 31-35, M
i’m not here often to be talkative yet
DViper97 · 51-55, M
It depends on who I’m chatting with.
Hey, we know you're from EARTH, and a GIRL, so we know a LOT! 😉🤣
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@SomeMichGuy She's practically an open book.
@JimboSaturn I KNOW.

I'm starting with the A's; you want to work back from the Z's? Only ~4 billion females. Fewer if we concentrate on her slice of age range.
Lostlostlost · 51-55, M
Public secretive, private talkative
Dshhh · M

PinkMoon · 26-30, F
I let it all hang out.
SJones48 · 41-45, M
In the middle
bikelover · 56-60, M
Mines to mundane to share lol
1490wayb · 56-60, M
i share the taboo thoughts that are unacceptable in real life, like many of us
Sam17 · 18-21, M
Secretive in public
Share in private
skimpyboy · 56-60, M
@Sam17 fully agree
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
Not very secretive.
@JimboSaturn Right! We know you are from SATURN!
I talk about some aspects of it. Other parts I don’t.
Musicman · 61-69, M
I am 50/50. I'll talk in generalities, but you will never know what's really going on with me.
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
No only because it isn’t very interactive on here
