Facebook. Livejournal. Myspace. Tumblr. While each interface is slightly different, there is one thing all of the sites have in common: people continually over-share details about their lives. We all have a friend or a contact who doesn't hold back and just lets the TMI fly. Those same people who over-share their own intimate details are also usually the ones asking invasive questions about their friends lives.
When people ask for really personal details about your life and you aren't comfortable with sharing, how do you handle it? Do you think that people are too willing to share information about themselves; more to the point - is sharing those TMI moments a good thing or a bad thing?
Obviously, significant others and best friends are excluded. Spilling all the details or laying everything out on the table takes away some of the mystery about yourself. When there is an air of mystery, people are often more interested in the things you have to say because you haven't shown all of your cards. It keeps people on their toes, don't you think?
