How much should we share?

I’ve been writing a lot lately. Not just here, on my blog, but to my friends and in my new diary. I started keeping it for all the stuff that are “too personal” for the rest of the world to know.. But where do you draw the line? What is too personal and what is accepted and/or expected of you as a bloger or as a person?

This is a constant battle for moi. I always wonder if I share too much or too little. I know some people claim that you lack integrity if you share too much. But who can judge that? Who can give me a measuring cup and tell me when I should stop pouring my life out?

I have my quirks. Some will know from day one and some will learn about them after a while. And then there’s those who will never find out..

    This is my take on how much you share with the world on your blog …share enough to uplift another. Its not the extent of what you share that really matters, but the essence of what you share. Just my own opinion.

    How much you should share depends on your goal as a blogger. Are you trying to be popular or are you writing your posts to satisfy yourself? Everyone does not write with the same intentions.

    You can mark individual posts as private on the write page on the dashboard for anything you don’t want to be made public. (There’s a check box on the write page of the dahboard).

    Share what you feel comfortable sharing. You are the only one who can decide that. And if you write about people you know, be sensitive to their feelings if you are sharing it with others.
