Truth In A Public Forum

[nomads-quill.livejournal.com]

I apologize if this has been asked before.

I am going through another episode. A bit of the coming apart at the seams.

My primary journal is LJ. I keep a lot of stuff private. But I am curious: how do you all decide how much of yourselves -this thing we all share- how do you decide how much is public? How much of yourself/ves do you show?

Thanks for the thoughts. I am in all sorts of debate on this. Do I show this or not?

Don't share anything you're not comfortable with.

A vague post like "I'm feeling rotten, for reasons too complicated to explain here" can work if you want people to know you're uneasy but not why.

Anything you put up unfiltered has the potential to be found by anyone in the world - including future employers, etc. May not be likely, but that's the possibility I try to keep in mind when deciding when to friendslock.
