“How do
you decide what to keep to yourself and what to keep on paper?”
I tend
to share way too much according to my husband! I like to share what we are
doing or where we are traveling to with others. Some people share the same
interest or have been to where we are going and can suggest interesting things
to see and do there.
I do not
share information like phone numbers and addresses online with people unless it
is in a private message. I think sharing stuff like that is just plain creepy
unless you are making arrangements to meet someone.
I also
don’t share stories about people that I wouldn’t say to their face. I feel like
nothing is private once it is shared so I want to know if it gets back to the
person, they won’t feel uncomfortable about my sharing the story. I usually let
that person know I was talking about them too.
In our
house, we have this saying that if we have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at
all. I usually follow this unless it is a rant about a company that I think is
worth sharing with others. I would want to know this information as a fellow
consumer and if someone has problems with a company that I might use or buy
from, I want to know about it.
My
husband worries about my sharing about our travels so he hopes that I wait at
least until we return before telling people about where we went. I usually do
that unless I post a picture without any indication about where we are. Then if
someone asks me about it, I will send them a private message.
What do
you share with others online or in private? Please share.

Pat--I think it's a man vs. woman thing. Men are more close-mouthed (most of them). Women like to connect with other people... hence the sharing.
You can always post pictures of your trip and act like you're back home--so that burglars don't find your post that says, "Here we are--on vacation"--and then stop by to help themselves to your things. (Isn't that what he's worried about?)
Thanks for the shout-out. I appreciate it.
