Overshare
Why in the world would someone post about their gastro-intestinal issues on Facebook? Particularly how they’re solving them (aka – exlax and juice). I understand that Facebook is all about sharing what’s going on with your life, and making connections. But do we really want to connect over poo (or the lack thereof)?
In our hyperconnected world, I’ve come to realize there really is such a thing as over-sharing. While I still update my Facebook status on a regular basis, and I’ll continue to maintain my blog – I hereby promise to never over-share. I will not go into gory details about my illness, or those of my loved ones or pets. If I need you to know that I’m sick, you’ll hear that I’m sick of being sick, etc. And if you really really need to know what kind of sick I am, you can send me an email and ask.
