Privacy
What does it mean to have privacy? I don't know that I always have the answer to this question. Sometimes I feel guilty if I am not sharing every minor detail about myself. I guess this is normal when you have had your right to privacy severely violated.
To correct this, I have to remind myself that the people I am talking with didn't violate my privacy in the past, so why should I treat myself in the same way as the ones who did. I don't have to treat myself like a creepy stalker and share every detail of my life with strangers.
This does help me identify boundaries in a way that is unique, and this makes me feel a little bit lonely. I wish I could understand what it would be like to create boundaries without using the same comparison, and then I could have something in common with other people. Sometimes I wonder if people really know how lucky they are to be able to do this.
Agree but at the same time I hate when I feel constrained in writing.
That's how I felt on Facebook and Twitter which is why I quit both. I hate caring about what people from my highschool and home town might think about me. They just don't get me.
I'm really glad I quit those sites and came here instead. I feel less limited. But like you say sometimes it's scary because yeah .... something you post could come back to haunt you. I choose not to let it limit me ... feels too good to write freely without caring.
