Do you post every detail of your life on Facebook?

[iyanpol12]

I noticed in some people on Facebook, many are over-sharing. They post everything they do in their lives with pictures of them posted several times a day, particularly selfie pictures.

Do you think people are over-sharing?

[Karen Fainges]

Personally I wouldn’t do it but the thing about Facebook is that it is up to them. Some people I just scroll through unless it’s about something that catches my eye.

For others I read everything. Sometimes it’s just how I feel on the day.

[peachpurple]

yes I noticed that many are too over bearing their personal life, risky

[luciaanna]

Yes, I agree with you @peachpurple. Also I am a rather reserved person.

[marygoround]

i remember that the police warned us about using the facebook.sometimes this where the suspect look for the possible victims.

[misswulans]

No I don’t post every details of my life in social media, I only post tutorials and share link in my fb.
There are many people who post everything happen in their life, perhaps they need someone to talk or want to share their moments with their friends and family who live far away from them.

[shagunK]

I am not that much social to share every personal details on facebook. Mostly I use facebook for professional purposes.

[TAlberts]

I don´t like those people who kept on sharing selfies of their lives smiling when in fact they don´t smile in real life. I know what I´m talking as I know some personally and I seldom saw them smiling. In real life, they don´t smile.

[iyanpol12]

@shagunK same here. I think we should give ourselves privacy.

[TAlberts]

I mostly use fb for sharing my blogs.

[shaloowalia]

no, i don’t! i hardly share personal updates.

[thisnthat]

I absolutely think they are over-sharing. I think people should take their privacy more seriously. There are too many dangers in this world to just put it all out there. I also think people need to learn that they really aren’t as interesting as they think they are for the most part. Nobody cares if you just changed your socks! No status update needed!

[pramalkumarsamanta]

I dislike such oversharing ,this is too much.

[iyanpol12]

@thisnthat yoi are right. Even the direction of their hoise, they post it. One example is instant street view.

[arnela77]

I really use facebook only for job and to hear with my cousins and friends. I think that people exaggerate with posts on fb..I think it is not necessary that everyone knows what you’re doing.

[jkct01]

I can know what the food that my neighbor’s cat ate last night and where they bought it from.

[iyanpol12]

I couldn’t agree more @arnela77

[jkct01]

It is naive to post too much details in FB.

[iyanpol12]

Exactly @jkct01 . It is also exposing yourself and lose privacy.

[jkct01]

Actually FB does provide privacy options for users to set who you want to share with. But many people don’t know or bother to set.

[resuri]

No, I am not because it is losing your privacy but sometimes I post picture

[jkct01]

It is like the public figures want to keep their profile low while the private little people want to publicize their privacy.

[iyanpol12]

@resuri posting pictures is fine. But posting whatever you do or wherever you go, seems over-sharing.

[jkct01]

Sometimes with such friends, it is hard not to “really” know them.

[lejla1311]

I don’t use Facebook for thos ekind of things. Sometimes I post some things relevant to my life, but I don’t pdate every day my wall with all the things that I do. People can be so annoying with those posts.

[blueberry]

Nope. I don’t post every detail of what’s happening in my life. It could annoy some of your friends to be honest.

[jkct01]

The annoyance may actually make you think why you befriend that person in the first place.

[iyanpol12]

I even saw someone taking a selfie at the restroom sitting at the toilet!

[thisnthat]

How about when using Facebook and other social media sites for promoting your blogs? Do you just spam links to every new article or do you also interact with people in between?

[iyanpol12]

I never shared my articles yet.

[iyanpol12]

That was a good idea Rapid Blue.

[Anonymous]

I prefer not to post every detail of my personal life on FB. People who do that could have potential probs down the road.

[ptrk12]

Yes, it is one thing to tour a new place and share your pictures on a beach or a hilltop, and it is another thing to eat a Pizza at a Restaurant with your family or friends and post them on the Facebook.

[resuri]

Yes,many people are over sharing their photos and staus on Facebook. There are times that people fights on Facebook. Take note they fight on their Facebook walls not on private message. It is so scandalous

[pramalkumarsamanta]

I hardly share every detail of my life on Facebook.

[iyanpol12]

I often see such @resuri . They don’t just do it privately.

[resuri]

@iyanpol12 Yes, those things should keep private

[cgalavia]

I am a very private person.I don’t share anything but I have a friend who always brag all the things she does and what she has.

[iyanpol12]

@cgalavia I think there are many people who do that.

[cgalavia]

@iyanpol12 Yes,it’s true there are many of them seems like their personality is like an attention seeker.I don’t like bragging anything,showing too much is like being boastful,This is just a thought of mine.

[iyanpol12]

@cgalavia you’re just telling the truth. Too many people are show-off. They posts their expensive stuff, eating at a high-end restaurant and sipping a coffee at Starbucks.

[cgalavia]

@iyanpol12 I guess,it’s their attitude,they are used to do it,doing it will make them happy.They have this shallow happiness or just probably seeking an attention to the others.

[cessy08]

I post things on Facebook but I never do it often. I do have friends who seem to share anything she could think of so I just removed her from my newsfeed.

[marygoround]

i dont post the real me on facebook.look,what do u think of this picture of mine?

[iyanpol12]

hi @marygoround. Bad people used Facebook to defraud people.

[Shane]

I hated posting anything in me on facebook friend. Do you have facebook by the way?

[iyanpol12]

Yes I have.

[kimdalessandro]

I deactivated my FB account a long time ago. I didn’t like it. I wouldn’t want to post personal things anyway.

[dinuka]

Yes I agree with you. I don’t share much on Facebook. Now I am thinking about using it as a marketing tool.

[iyanpol12]

@kimdalessandro I am thinking about that too.

[Karen Fainges]

I keep a few different pages on Facebook so I can keep stuff for family and friends separate from my teaching stuff and separate from my writing.I even have different pages for my humour book to my vamp books. Facebook themselves actually recommend you do that.

[Bharat Sharma]

I use social media ( all types) just to share my articles, and other articles from the web that I find interesting. I don’t use social media for sharing any personal detail.

[Pamela]

Absolutely. I have a cousin that posts EVERYTHING that happens, and it drives me nuts. that’s actually one of the reasons I’m so rarely on facebook anymore. I do use social media, but I don’t post every single detail of my life. No one needs to know when I pee, ya know?

[fun1oriented2learning]

@iyanpol12 Sir / Ma’am. I am happy because I don’t have a facebook account.

[iyanpol12]

I am a guy @fun1oriented2learning . Anyway, that might be good for you.

[iyanpol12]

Hi Sandy. That’s scary. That’s the price of oversharing.

[angie10]

I’m a private person, so no I don’t put my business up all over social media networks. There are some things I hold dear that I just refuse to share with the whole world 🙂
