Some of them say that they are more talkative online than personal. They like talking to people through social media since there is lesser judgment from people they’re talking to since they barely knew each other. They aim to ask for pieces of advice that focus only on a single situation and bits of advice which do not consider what or who they are. It’s like having a confession at the church where the priest cannot see who he is talking to. But some of my friends said that they limit what to share on the digital platform. They maintain a boundary between the digital world and the personal, thus limiting their input of personal information into the platform. I can relate much to both of my friends’ answers. I am an impulsive speaker. I cannot filter my statements, thus making a certain situation awkward or worse. That’s why social media is my haven when I want to talk to someone especially if it’s about personal problems. Aside from lesser judgment, it gives me an avenue to say the thoughts I cannot properly utter in real life. But of course, I, too, limit what I disclose on this platform. I am a very secretive person. I don’t like sharing my personal data with strangers – who would want to anyway?
