Twitter. Facebook. Instagram. It's a rarity to meet someone who hasnt joined at least one of these social networking sites, as a lot of people are connected to all three. With the whole e-world connected at your fingertips, it's very very easy to overshare if you are not careful.
Is sharing your every thought, idea, action and picture necessarily good for budding relationship? I say no. I've been guilty of overshare, probably about when I first joined twitter. I literally tweeted all day about any and everything because I thought that was the purpose. That was years ago, and although Im not sure who I was dating at the moment, if they ever wanted to know ANYTHING about what I thought about them or anything, all they had to do was check my timeline. And THAT can kill a budding relationship.
Maybe as I age Im really valueing privacy and mystique. Whats the point in getting to know someone when you can find out EVERYTHING online? There is no chase in that nor any incentive on sticking around to try and figure them out...and really, isnt that the fun part?
As you will read in a few posts, I have a love/hate with technology. I believe we are doing wonderful, exciting new innovative things BUT it's killing how we relate to each other. I seriously get asked if I have an instagram right after giving my number away, of course I know it's because said prospect wants to look through my pics to see if he'll further pursue which is cool, but isnt is more exclusive if I send him a pic instead of him seeing a pic all of my followers see? Exclusivity is missing when you live on these sites.
This post could go on and on, but frankly I just want to remind you that not everything needs to be shared, especially not to strangers. In addition to safety, you just dont really need people "all up in your business" especially a new boo who may see something that is a turn off...or be turned off that you're tweeting all the d@mn time! lol. Put the phone down, and go live! I promise you you'll be okay.
