Since when does being private make you look like a weirdo?

The real question is why do people spill their hearts out, their daily business and their private photos all over the internet?

I am with you. I am somewhat private. The people who really know me would not realize this about me because I am very open with people I trust. I value my privacy very much. Like you, I am not hiding a thing, it's just that people are judgmental and assume too much from very little information. Therefore I keep my personal life private for that reason.

I think posting personal pictures on the internet is an individual choice. However, the thing about pictures is that there are other people in those pictures besides one self. And, to post them, you are exposing your friends and family to the internet, perhaps against their wishes. Everyone who knows me already knows that they do not have my permission to post my picture anywhere. Again, I have nothing to hide, but nor do I want my image forever floating in cyberspace. People do not realize when they post pictures, they can be copied and shared and go only who knows where. I am not paranoid in the least, but like I said, my privacy is valuable to me and me alone, it is MY privacy.

Social medias, as you know, because you work with them every single day. Are an open hole to people's lives, there for everyone to see and even stalk or hack into. I find the majority of social networks to be very immature and find the content of conversations, comments and likes to be superficial and rather boring. If you can tell, I am not part of any social networks and like to remain anonymous like here, on Yahoo Answers.
