  • As you reach your 'golden years' you don''t generally 'give a shit'
    those QUALIFED to sit in judgement of you have THEIR OWN 'skeletons' in their closets!

    To 'judge' me they'd have to be willing to compare & contrast MY life's choices with theirs
    and FRANKLY, the ONLY entity FIT to sit in judgement of ME is MY Creator...
    everyone else's is JUST an opinion borne of THEIR life experiences.

    I've made genuine effort to make the best decisions I could with the information
    at hand and the prevailing 'resources toward a 'best scenario' outcome.

    The popular SciFi TV series made much of the Star Fleet 'Kobiashi Maru' scenario
    'no win' situation. And Kirk's 'cheat' by changing the parameters...
    Kirk's hubris would NOT allow him to ADMIT his choices had gotten him into a 'no win' circumstance!
    Therein, is the REAL lesson of that episode.

    To admit that "the needs of the many outweigh
    the needs of the few or the One" and the need to SOMETIMES
    give the fatalist command: "RAMMING SPEED!"

    IF Einstein is correct: "Energy & Matter are interchangeable, NEITHER can be created nor destroyed."
    and therefore, in the end: "Death itself holds NO sway!"

    In even an infinite reality scenario, EVERYBODY gotta BE somewhere! ;)

  • I can quite open with a select few that I know I can trust, and I know that I can trust them because it's been 9, 12, 15... even 20 years of that

    but there's also different aspects to everyone's life and the people close to me are all different, so I open up with them with different things... according to the relationship I have with them, friends are different from family, and these, different from significant others...

    and then, there's people I know online and that's here at G@G, I can also be open and trust them to a considerable degree and that's because there's a certain level of anonymity in here and because I knew these few people can be trusted and they trust me as well

    I don't like to overshare either, when is not needed or when is out of place... and one thing that matters the most to me is... for me to be the one that they can trust and they can open up to, I've never exactly afraid or cautious of opening up to people and getting hurt, I am selective with people so I've never faced someone that had any bad intentions, so I am careful of myself not being the one that hurts them or do somethings to damage that trust

  • It's VERY private, to the point I barely let my family and close friends in. Past experience of being back stabbed, ghosted, lied to, judged... I don't really trust people anymore. Especially the ones that claim you can trust them- those are the main ones that usually stab you in the back.

    I get to know people, see what type of person they are, and selectively tell them what I want them to know about myself.

  • Oh hell if everyone knew my private life it wouldn't be very private, I'm essentially D except on here, random strangers know more about things than almost everyone in person could ever dream of knowing about me.

    In a way I joined GAG to share certain private things, that I would never share to another person face to face or if I actually knew them in person.

    • Even on here I'm pretty private. But i have surprised myself by opening up more than IRL

  • I mean, you and I have talked, so you know I'm a pretty open person when it comes to just about everything in my life. There are very few topics that are just off limits until I know someone well enough.

    • Very tru

  • Only if it will benefit them and they ask me then I will become an open book for them to read

  • Not much.

    How open are you about your private life, do you openly share with others?
  • It depends. With internet randoms... I'm totally open. With my hubby and a few others I'm totally open. To everyone else, not open about anything more personal than superficial stuff. Too much judgmental people out there.

  • It’s a bit layered, some is straightforward and it’s work, which is mainly among work colleagues.

    Some is related to a given hobby or similar and shared in that group or people around those groups.

    then you have relationship stuff,

    Then family stuff.

    it really varies what I share and who I share it with.

    sufficient information.

    historically I’ve never told my parents anything.

  • Parents, sister and best friend only.

  • I kind of look at it like this my private life is my private life if I bring you into my life I will share it if asked or if something has been brought up I'm not embarrassed enough. Shy I just like to keep it private now if I'm communicating with somebody and the odds are I have already been through but there might be going through I will share that moment whether it's good bad or ugly there's always a positive to get out of it no matter what.
    I'm actually an open book the getting the book opened is a whole different story it takes a lot of trust the ones I trust somebody I let them in all the way

  • I’ve shared far more on here than I have without a person being directly involved with me, but it’s a bit of a release and nobody knows me anyway. Irl I only share with those who are close to me.

    • Sounds strangely familiar😅

    • @cookiecrusher lol

  • My personal life is really not that exciting, which is why I don’t mind opening up.

  • A select few, only if it's a close one.

  • Not with everyone only if someone deeply near my heart because everyone personal life is not a movie story for entertain everyone, privacy is must for living in a society if you open your privacy with everyone then everyone search a chance to joke at you...

  • Yeah, I keep my more sensitive stuff to myself and those I know I can trust. Even there, some friends know this and others know that.

  • Very select few to a major point, but I only I know the ins and outs of everything

  • Not in person. Only anonymous online I'll burst all my right and wrong doings and sins. I mean is all about life lessons that how. The cat got killed by being curious.

    In person nope. Lol yaaaall face 👀 but inner y'all have done some things just pretending to be free.

    Is best to keep away from it even from wife lol cuz she will rethink and may change little bit with you or all 🤣. May say oh no I fall in love with a sinner i won't see you in heaven 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️.

  • Probably more than I should be, often I let out too much and think later, I should of kept that to myself.

  • Not very open.

    • Same. My life is my life. And it stays that way

  • that's a hard question actually, I'm not sure how open I am, but I'd like to think that I'm B... lol

  • I don;t share too much.

  • I have different friends for different needs. I'm a blubber mouth so I need someone who is the same or worse for balance.

  • Overall pretty private.
