What to share and what not to share?

If you are a nice and people pleasing person, you might be sharing all your life information thinking: This is what a nice person does to make other people feel happy and pleased with me.

However, later in life you realize this just doesn’t workout well. People could use that information in multiple ways without your knowing.

This could happen at home, work or other social situations. This just sends a message to the other person: You are not valuable. You are pathetic. You seek approval from others. You have no personal boundaries. Your life is an open book for everyone to enter and manipulate.

However, it is interesting to figure it out what to share and what not to share. There are those information that need not be shared like an unfinished business or a sketched plan.

Keep in mind this doesn’t recommend you being mean or rude with the other person or boldly refuse sharing the information. Instead this encourages you to understand the direction of the conversation, what serves you best and what doesn’t, what information best to share and what information best to keep for yourself.
