Well, I have expanded my “experiment”, and I’m actively not getting involved in everything, not only on FB, but elsewhere as well. Especially if I feel like I have to point out my own unique point of view, I stop myself and ask “why?”. Why do I need to entangle myself with things that do not matter? Do I need to make everything public?

The less I share and the more I keep things to myself, the more I feel like I’m in control of my own life and I feel free and happy.

I’m not saying that not sharing thoughts is bad (I’m sharing my thoughts right now), but to be much more discerning about when and what. Being silent not only allows me not to get too entangled with thoughts (especially other people’s thoughts), but also enforces my boundaries. What other people think is their business and what I think is my business 🙂

I have been estranged from my entire family for several years. Until facebook came along, I never truly knew how racist and hateful my entire family truly is. Through facebook I also learned how my father was a bully in high school and still is a bully.

It has been a sorce of my shame and suffering. And it is visible for all the public to see. Before facebook came along things were much more private.
