I probably do, yeah, when I get a bee in my bonnet about something. I think people reveal too much sometimes that could leave them vulnerable to people taking advantage. And sometimes there's just overfamiliarity, like do I really need to know your grandchildrens' best friends' pet's name. |

I don't think I do but I'm amazed at what some people will reveal about themselves. I remember somebody talking about a child and an achievement of theirs and actually stating the local newspaper they were featured in  |

It's subjective of course.
I mostly think the rants are perhaps saying too much sometimes - but if it helps them, I guess it's right.
It may also sometimes appear that there's a fair bit of superfluous content.
I'd be concerned for anyone who put themselves in a vulnerable situation and maybe admin would remove the post. |

Yup.
If I felt I had anything to hide on here about my life or I had to hide this side of my life in the real world I wouldn't be here...
My name, town and face are all my real details (alot still Don't believe it's my real name)
I absolutely do not hide.
But that's me |

I prefer to wait until I meet someone in person until I am completely open about things. No one could look at my pms and find out anything about me that I haven't revealed in the forums already.
Except the rare face pic....

But to be honest I am pretty boring, so I don't give anything too personal away about myself unless we meet etc.
I only say what (not where) I do for a living, where I come from as I am not from here, and vague area of where I live, there is not much they can do with that info.
But what I do say is all true |

"Can you, or do you, reveal too much in the forums?"
Although I'm very open and can wear my heart on my sleeve a little too much at times, non of what I say is ever too revealing. Certainly not enough for me to be ID'ed or anything like that. This goes for both my forum posts and PM's. |

You see a small slice of me on the forums, I'll try not to reveal *too* much and I guess it's subjective if that's too much or too little.
Those I speak to on PM or elsewhere tend to know more about me to various degrees - some far too well by now and others just starting out |

"Can you, or do you, reveal too much in the forums?"
It's subjective.
For me I'll reveal general information about myself if it's relevant to the thread ie that I've lost a child in bereavement threads, that my youngest was sectioned on mental health threads etc.
I don't show my face or my real location, others do.
What amazes me are those that reveal their vulnerability. Forever putting themselves down or jumping up for attention, desperately craving validation from strangers. They are preditors dream. They often post threads about being used...no shit!
Others reveal their sexist, racist, homophobic nasty selves...totally unaware of what they type.
Never a dull moment!

She is! I've seen dozens of comments from people stating they do. Personally I think, get a life you sad fucks, but it's a site tool, so hey ho!  |
