Online Over-Sharing.
During a recent happy hour with girlfriends, we commiserated over the inevitable consequences of (our) sharing too much information (about ourselves) during (actual) conversations with (everyone from) acquaintances to colleagues - a communal tendency we coined "over-sharing" - and wondered where to draw the (appropriate) line. We agreed that specks of roommate frustrations, our latest ailments, and relationship advice seep into exchanges about copy machines and rainy weather quite naturally and rarely leave sentiments of guilt. Yet despite my own ability to share-when-I-shouldn't (on occasion, of course), I take extra care to maintain a mid-to-low online profile (this blog barely scratches the surface) and find myself horrified (and moderately engrossed) when naked shots from labor rooms and grumblings about recent break-ups make headline news on facebook and twitter feeds. Enjoy!
