My therapist drew this layered circle and put people in each layer as a guide on how close people really are but I still find it very challenging to determine what is appropriate to share. I'm almost always lost when something I have said offends someone. Sigh.

It is tough. I don't know that it's wrong, necessarily... and I see people I like doing the same thing... comedians come to mind (Tig Notaro, and Mike Birbiglia)... and bloggers.
Thinking of Birbiglia.. he even talks about seeing his therapist... and she encouraged him to journal.. So, he started a public blog called his Secret Public Journal... lol!
I sometimes fantasize about coming up with a comedy routine based on the pain and struggles in my life, and trying it out on some amateur comedy night.
