Why You Should Share Less About Yourself With Others by coputa(op): 6:25pm On Mar 03, 2024
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.

If at all you need to share about yourself, share only small when necessary.

That is me 100%.

I only have one friend in the world who I share things.

I have turned down countless friendship attempts by others. That way, I enjoy my peace and quiet.
When you meet Nigerians for the first time, they like to interrogate and get all info about you.

huh

The Op is actually 100% on point.

In addition, people in general do not know how to listen. They have ears that hear very well, but seldom have they acquired the necessary aural skills which would allow those ears to be used effectively for what is called listening.”

Lastly, they are gifted with more than information to judge unfairly.

It's quite annoying seeing people that share every damn thing about them and family on social media.

Only introverts like me will understand everything said above.... grin

Typical Nigerians are extroverts (always seeking for attention) and noise makers... They like showing off, which most of the time puts them (and their family) in big trouble.

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.

Don't disclose your weakness, you may get fake sympathizers who would use the information against you in the future

Re: Why You Should Share Less About Yourself With Others by Fairview1(m):
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.

Tell them but at the point of depression, seek help! Talk to someone.

The less they know about you, the more power you have over them.

DO YOU KNOW!!
That your neighbors are unhappy with you because you dont disclose informations about you to them? Truly! Silence is golden.

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
