Do you have any non-political/non-religious/ things about yourself that you're less afraid to share online than IRL? (sh.itjust.works)

I'll start, people I talk on Discord with know more of my music preference than IRL people I meet with, because rejection sensitivity i guess

Basically anything except private info like name, address, etc.

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.
