I agree with you. I also talk to my loved ones who aren’t with me anymore, in private.
I don’t understand either this exhibitionism people have with their privacy nowadays with all that stuff of social webs. It seems as if you don’t make public something, it doesn’t exist.
I don’t even have Facebook so you can guess.
I only write here and it’s because I have psychological issues, a common thing with the most part of people here.

Wow, I didn't think anyone would relate to my views. But it seems you do. "Exhibitionism" is an apt term to apply to this behavior.
Yes, we reveal a lot that is private on these Forums, but this is a fellowship of persons struggling to manage psych challenges. We mutually confide our vulnerabilities and encourage each other in our struggles. This seems more honest. We confess our failings. On Facebook, I see a lot of self-congratulatory stuff along the lines of "Look how great my life is!" (My parents were extraordinary. My kids are extraordinary. My spouse is extraordinary. I'm living an exceptional life. Check out the beautiful dinner I've cooked. Look at the great restaurants where I've dined. Look where I went yesterday. Look what I did 5 minutes ago.) (Who gives a ----?)
