Social Question

Do you think sharing of your personal stuff on social media is a sign of insecurity in your relationship?

Asked by imrainmaker (8380points) December 12th, 2017

I read somewhere that it is. Do you think so too? Here’s one link i found out.

You could make the opposite argument as well. That only people who are highly secure of their relationships will post on social media, because they are sure that things are good and won’t change.

I read the article you referred to. I have the impression that the author and a foregone conclusion, and was stacking his reasons to support his conclusion.

Basically, I call bullshit.

It depends on how personal. I don’t want to read details of your fights or your sex life.

I gotta call bullshit on that too.

I’d say that author needs to clean out his friend’s list. I don’t see anyone posting about their relationships all that often, except to comment that their husband, or wife, did this or that nice thing for them. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone airing their dirty laundry in public.

I call bullshit too.

If people will go on television shows to air their dirty laundry and actually pump up the drama, then somewhere on social media people will do it too.

Not necessarily. I think social media means different things to different people and some people take it too seriously. I think you should post whatever you like as long as it is not illegal. You cannot please everyone in life. Some people will always be annoyed and judge you by what you post.

No its a desperate sign of help, even from strangers.

snowberry's avatar

It’s a sign of poor boundaries, for starters, and/or an addiction to high drama.

Some people just like the attention. I don’t. I share funny personal stuff, but almost never about my health or my relationship status. If I do share something about health, it’s just to inform others in case they didn’t know, like what having an electrolyte imbalance can do to you. (It can jack you up, man! And there IS such a thing as drinking too much water. It can cause an imbalance.)
