1. The less you share, the less people will be in your personal life.

2. You'll slowly stop caring about people's opinion on you.

3. You won't have to seek validation to do what feels right for you.

4. If everyone is your friend, you've a problem. You can't trust anyone with personal information.

5. You'll attract peace into your life. You'll experience less drama, toxic energy and more time alone.

6. The real flex is being private, staying low-key and telling no one about your life.

7. It'll be 10x easier to walk some paths alone to achieve your personal goals.

8. Privacy teaches you independence and how to connect with people on a deeper level.

9. Everyone leaves. You'll learn how to be alone and not feel lonely.

10. When you build in silence, people won't know what to attack.

11. People will want to know more about you when you talk less about yourself.

12. People don't care so much about you. They only care on what you can offer.

The most important thing is put last in your list: people don't care much about you the way you think

This is so right. But the narcissistic tendency in humans can never make most want to do this. Most people want everyone informed about their successes in life. They want to brag about it. They want others to envy them, to worship them. Why do you think the large majority of Christian crowd at Adeboye's church were super esctatic when he said "your colleagues will come to you for food" or something of that sort? Omo, people are just inherently narcissistic.

Seeking for safe space can provide individuals with privacy, reduced stress, self-sufficiency, and freedom, but it can also lead to loneliness, lack of social support, limited opportunities, and stigma. Whether living in seclusion is beneficial or not depends on the individual's personality, needs, and goals.

You just need to find a balance Op. Research has consistently shown that the biggest drawbacks of living in seclusion is loneliness, which can have negative effects on mental and physical health.
Thats it

As life no too balance...our job on earth here na to find the balance.... grin

you gotta be a good person to be attracted by good people.

like attracts like

you gotta be heaven to see heaven



you cant eat your cake and have it

saasala:
I laugh when I read this type of article about not sharing things about yourself.

You can share a good amount of things about yourself to people who care to listen and still maintain a healthy self esteem.

The world is bad and full of negative people but not as bad as people portray it. The amount of good people out there surpass the bad ones.

This is how people keep quiet and die in silence. Their moto is "Don't tell people about yourself"

First surround yourself with good people, and then tell the good people as much as possible. Africans are not wired to live keeping our mouth shut about ourselves or problems

Sometimes you have to take a risk. Don't be too stingy to that extent. Even strict Jewish people sometimes reveal their personal issues on a large scale. Your autobiography should be rich enough.

One needs to find a balance. Sharing has advantages and disadvantages. Not sharing at all has advantages and disadvantages.

A so-called friend of mine tried to sabotage my dream project just so I wouldn't get there before him. That's even for me that's an introvert oh, now I share even less. Only when I'm celebrating I make a post.

I did not say one should disclose all his plan to his wife? Instead If a man should discuss his plan it should be with his wife

Simply because you share same bed with your wife doesn't mean she's with you 💯.

Lagosians are annoyingly too nosey and intrusive, doesn't matter if you share or not , as long as you worked or lived in a place for over a week , they will worm and wriggle their way into your affairs.

I concur...

I purposely share wrong information about myself and my plans to others cheesy ...that way if you have bad intentions you end up in rabbit hole grin
I operate on the principle of Zero Trust and if i must share then i share on a need-to-know basis.
