People overshare too much on the internet
Savahax 3 days ago
I don’t overshare. I’m actually a very private person. I mean sure, I mentioned in passing that my ex left me during a thunderstorm while I was holding a lasagna in one hand and an IKEA Allen key in the other, because we were arguing over which bookshelf best represented our emotional maturity—but that’s not oversharing. That’s setting the scene. And yeah, maybe I told my dentist about the existential crisis I had in the frozen peas aisle last Tuesday when I realized I’d become the kind of person who compares the price-per-kilo on vegetables, but that’s just bonding. You know, connection. Community. Not oversharing. God forbid. It’s not like I walk up to strangers and tell them I once cried during a shampoo commercial because the narrator said “revitalise your roots” and it felt too personal. That would be ridiculous. I’m composed. Stoic, even.

Besides, oversharing would be like casually telling people that I named my plants after exes so I can slowly watch them wither and die in poetic metaphor. And I only did that once. In a group chat. With screenshots. And commentary. Anyway, I’m super chill. Balanced. Definitely not the kind of person who needs three different playlists labeled “Spiral,” “Spiral But S**y,” and “Oh God Why” just to get through a Wednesday. So yeah. I don’t overshare. I just provide context. Emotional GPS, if you will. It’s not my fault if people can’t handle the scenic route through my psychological landscape, complete with pitstops at childhood trauma, romantic disaster, and my deeply problematic attachment to scented candles.

I might overshare on BP things about my past experiences - mostly because my first comments here were received with empathy and compassion. This was something new and surprising, as I was used to hatred, gaslighting and mockery. Besides, it's about my life only. It's good to see that others had similar experiences, and that I'm not "crazy, delusional, dramatic" etc. On the other hand, I have acquaintances who posted tenths of photos of their naked child on fb and insta. All photos are set with public audience. Why would you expose your 3 y.o. child like that?

Oh lordy, I had to unfriend someone on FB because she just wouldn't stop posting picture of her small child in a state of almost complete undress and it was making me REALLY uncomfortable. But yeah, the community here is really supportive and compassionate other than the odd bullying troll (and those get downvoted into oblivion). I feel comfortable sharing here too.

I agree but at the same time, don't care? Like, 99.99% of people you talk to on the net will never meet you or know they've met you and vice versa. Sometimes you need opinions from someone you *don't* know, because they'll tell you to pull your head in when a friend/family member may not. I think on BP I've said a lot of things even some of my closest friends don't know because an internet stranger is (generally) going to judge you regardless. I don't need to worry about internet strangers costing me my job if I out myself as asexual, or making my mother cry if I tell her I've been struggling with alcohol again. I'm sorry if that bothers someone out there, but that's why I do it.

We're close enough to be kind and interested, but not close enough to be horribly upset.

I'd never be crass enough to act like that! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a MASSIVE case of the sh1ts to deal with. G*****n Mexican food. *farts*

Kids don’t need “gentle parenting” - they need boundaries
The Majestic Opossum 3 days ago
I agree with this, but I would say yes, and they need gentle parenting when those boundaries are crossed. Boundaries are important, but so is respect, discussion, allowing them to have boundaries of their own, and showing them love and kindness when they f*ck up, while still maintaining the boundaries and consequences that were set out.

The “good old days” weren’t actually better
Mel in Georgia 3 days ago
I'm a boomer, and the optimism and confidence I felt for the world in general back in the 70s is gone now. Know things have gone somewhat better for some people since then and definitely better for a lot of people before then, but I feel like now we're all on a downward trend.

Modern art is just expensive nonsense

You can't make a generalized statement like that and expect it to be true in all cases.

It’s okay to not care about birthdays - even your own
kzys59pcrp 3 days ago
I think you should care about others bdays if you love them and they care about bdays. Part of loving them is caring what they care about.

People stay in bad relationships just to avoid being alone
The Majestic Opossum 3 days ago
Many times, yes. But I don't agree where abüse is involved - the fear of leaving an àbusive partner is real and valid, even if they'd rather be alone.

“Travel changes you” is just a cliché
Marian Spanik 3 days ago
Every long-term memory changes the person, it's how the brain works. But the change doesn't necessary make the person better or be noticeable at all.

Too many questions were not suitable for across-the-board answers, making the whole quiz somewhat invalid.

Having a "Fill in your own thoughts" blank space would have been a good addition to the choices.

It seems, despite what some commenters have said, that I think like the majority.

I'm surprised I did as well as I did. As I get older I have more understanding of people and their stupid likes and dislikes. If you don't like someone or something boot it out of your life. Regardless of what others might say. 60% of idiots doesn't make them right.
