Exactly. And that’s where all the interest for our information comes from. Because it almost feels like you’re writing to yourself and all recipients are anonymous, you spill a lot.
I was the same. I shared a lot of (personal) stuff. Now I try to be a bit more thoughtful about it. If people would find out who I am, would I be comfortable with the things I shared. And can the things I share be compiled to something that points towards me? And then I decide if I still want to post it.
I see a lot of people have big meta thoughts and feelings. But mine is relatively small. I find that I live in a different reality since a lot of co-experienced events are remembered differently by the others. Let’s say a work meeting, when I think that it was a nice calm and friendly meetig others are heated and steaming by all the insults. The same with emails and other communications Also with a sportmatches. For instance when I really enjoyed a match and thought both teams did a nice job of performing, the media paints a vastly different picture where one team was really awful and performed well belowed standards.
So my perception of reality seems really of from the rest of the population.
