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 ----?)

Rose, of course I think the same as you. Many people do. I don’t care about what others do with their private life. I only care about people and what they want to share with me, not with the whole world.
But, it became a habit in many people’s lives. I can’t understand what they get from that. Each relation is particular, singular and unique and it kind of lose value when you put it under the spotlight.
I’m not gonna share my life with the entire world because it’s noone business other than my close circle and because I’m just a normal person.
Private life is always private, even famous people have this right.
