With the invention of the internet, phones with cameras, and data plans - everyone has the ability to share every aspect of their lives. Nowadays people are going overboard with trying to make it big on social media by posting literally everything they do. From day in my life videos, the shenanigans they get up to at work, even down to things that would get lawyers involved. Everyone wants a piece of that sponsor money pie from brand deals and internet clout. What happened to secrets and keeping your personal life private? No one’s going outside anymore to experience the real world - and all their coherent thoughts are coming from bad Twitter takes and Reddit forums. Tiktok and Instagram are creating a new breed of content creators that think publishing one's life story for strangers to see is a totally normal thing to do. Back in the day, we would share things with 3 to 6 people max. The Chronically Online Generation - Over Sharing is Bad #edvasian

[@Vash-Venture]

Honestly one of my worst fears is being filmed against my will to be made fun of on the internet. It destroys lives :(

[@johnwalker1058]

Yeah, the advent of "cringe compilations" for people doing things that aren't even that cringey, but were just caught in the wrong place at the wrong time for someone to randomly decide to film them against their will or without their consent for online clout has spiked my social anxiety.

[@amberblack6908]

I was 4 months pregnant at the beach and I realized I needed to put more money in the parking meter. As I was feeding the money in, a group of guys in a truck came up laughing and filming me. The one said I was a "10/10" (obviously being dumb. I'm pretty average with a big nose and my belly was a little bigger than normal.) I was very flustered and a little scared. I just muttered "thanks" will clutching my belly and turned away from them. Every time I think about it I feel a little sick. Who knows where that video went. I'm a pretty private person and having a video of me being sweaty, flustered, and pregnant out there is just... disgusting.

[@rebskie1]

​@gingeralice3858 it's perfectly valid for a therapist to specialize in certain areas and not be comfortable doing others. people in a certain field don't have to do everything. also, just because she did not do that doesn't mean she had a better life than you. maybe she even had it worse and hearing trauma like that would have triggered her, so she can only do certain types of therapy. you simply don't know everyone's life story 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@trala8911]

As a disabled person, if you see me struggling, please offer assistance if you feel able! I’m perfectly capable of saying “No, I’m okay, thanks for offering!” But I might really need help. The other day I was at the doctors surgery and an entire waiting room full of people watched me struggle on crutches with a stuck automatic door until I had to go get a member of staff to help me. Nobody owes me help, but please don’t think it’s rude to offer! Not all disabled people are born disabled, not everyone has had time to find ways to adapt. Especially in the case of degenerative illness, it’s not always possible to adapt fast enough, and for every disabled person who might be offended, there will be another that’s silently wishing someone would offer a hand. It’s not offensive to be compassionate.

[@disarmedpianist]

Thats a really good shoutout, but unfortunately i live in a very macho french society. I've been yelled at by a disabled person for offering help, he started screaming profanities at me (a woman) for helping him with the door as he struggled to keep it open to go through 😮‍💨

[@dontbelasagna5968]

I grew up with loving offering help and if i see someone struggled, i immediately help..but once a disabled person embarassing(making it look like i look down on her) me in front of everyone for offering help, i had to stop myself a lot of times to offer a help..unless they make eye contact with me and i do a gesture of do they need help and they give a nod, only then i would help..because of that one rude disabled person, i become scared to help anymore 😓

[@dontbelasagna5968]

There was also an old person, when he made eye contact, i do a gesture if he needs help and he gave a small nod..once i got near him to help, he guilt tripped me for not helping sooner 😅 but if i help sooner, i always get rude comments that i look down on them etc

[@sin3358]

This is smth I experienced two days ago. It didn't happen to me but this old man with a cane was getting off the bus but had a hard time doing so, and he ended up asking someone for help. I thought that it may be rude to try to help him since you never know, even if they are visibly struggling. If I do have time from now on, I'll try my best to help people out, cause I have a big issue where I only go to where I need to be right before I have to 😅

About a week later her husband was at my place for beers and i asked him how she was doing and if she was ok considering how nervous she was about getting the jab. He had no clue what i was talking about and so i told him she posted on facebook about getting the jab. Turns out she had blocked her own husband from her facebook and had not told him at all. Shortly after he told her he knew because she posted it all over facebook, to which she then responded to making another post on facebook saying whoever told him needs to mind their own business and stop trying to interfere with her relationship. A bunch of people commented saying that whoever told him needs to get a life and all kinds of other nasty stuff. She still doesnt know it was me who mentioned it to him (out of concern for her mental state). Seriously who the hell blocks their own husband on facebook?

The last thing they need to be thinking about is their nurse judging them when they are at their worst. And that’s putting aside that you are a healthcare professional and need to recognize WHY there are confidentiality rules in place. You might not have broken them, but you are missing the reason why they were created Edit: I get that nurses and doctors are human too, and being able to express you problems are perfectly reasonable BUT like I said not on a huge public platform.

[@AmalieLinden]

I mean, a fair bit of it also came to be because of things like facebook where youre *encouraged* to overshare about your life. Theres a good overlap between those that grew up during the time when sharing every bit of personal information online was the new trendy thing, and the adults that now film themselves doing and saying everything. I could definitely see the nurses being from that generation. And then twitter and tumblr kinda making it cool to just say whatever is on your mind again for the younger people. The difference is just that you can hide your identity on twt/tumblr by choosing a random name and pfp, but you cant hide your identity on tiktok when you film your face, job position, and location. And I think a lot of young people forget that theyre not anonymous on tiktok like they are on the other platforms.. So I don't think its necessarily loneliness/attention seeking.. More so just that youre *encouraged* to overshare ?

[@cindyscrawly1672]

I think its the contrary, the virality can also bring monetary compensation and 2 out of 3 cases you can see the disingenuousness.

For me the most concerning part about the oversharing trend is that it creates an illusion that unless you are a 100% honest about every aspect of your life, you are somehow "bad" or "problematic". People should not have to share sensitive information like health or financial information to be taken seriously by people. Sure if you are not actively making money off of something or impacting other people's lives through your actions, you really should not be expected to tell people your entire life story for no reason.

[@kathrynd.3789]

Excellent point. No one is entitled to private experiences of other people.

And sometimes even when someone is making money, it's harmful to push for information. How many actors have been pushed to out themselves prematurely because they played a queer character on film? It's especially shitty when it happens to young people, like that actor from Heartbreaker.

[@nj9968]

@@Alex-fc8xn oh, I wasn't referring to actors! While I think that actors in some sense have signed up to live in the public light, I hate the Twitter mobs that go after actors (especially young actors) and force them to reveal extremely private information like their sexuality. I have always hated how people are so morbidly curious about the private life of actors. I definitely think it should be brought to the public's attention if they are engaging in illegal activities but things like their romantic relationships or sexuality should not be dug into.

Last week my sister got super mad at me for suggesting her friend shouldn't post her underage clubbing on her public instagram. She insisted that nobody who was looking at her instagram would care - but that isn't the point. The point is that somebody who cares (i.e. potential jobs, colleges) COULD go looking, and the won't like what they see. I'm less concerned about her going out when she's only 17, as long as she has somebody responsible with her, than I am about the consequences of her posting that online. I'm only a few years older than my sister, but I wasn't a teenager when TikTok started to get popular, and I deleted it as soon as I realised I was spending more than an hour at a time on it - while she still is a teenager, and has spent the past three years fully submerged in that online culture.

They love the feeling of power that they get from knowing another person relies on them and is vulnerable. Even if they don't abuse that power dynamic, some get off on just knowing that they could. There's also a lot of people who go into careers like nursing just because that's what their family expects from them and not because they actually care about the job. Plus there's the empathy burnout which just makes any disregard/disrespect that they already had for patients multiple times worse

In short, I think it’s caused me to more readily turn inward and I learned that it’s more satisfying to me to savor, save, and experience parts of life in more personal ways, which I possibly never would have known about myself otherwise 🌻

The comment is so funny because the whole point of it being called a disability is because it affects your ability to do stuff.

As someone who has been chronically online, and who is disabled. The general rule is to ALWAYS ASK. That's the rule--ableism comes in when people just manhandle you like a child because it is assumed you cannot do any independent tasks purely based on disability. The ableism is the infantilization and forced help. But if you offer help or ask if someone would like help, that's literally fine. Just don't take away agency and you are good. And for the words like "Stupid" and "dumb" being ableist--yeah they got ableist histories, but it is mostly an issue when those words are used towards disabled people to imply they are unintelligent because of, or to shame them for disability. Mostly comes from educational spaces, or people describing others who are disabled with ignorance and ingrained ableism from our society. But yeah, honestly--those are the last things I am gonna fight on atm. As a disabled person, both mentally and physically disabled, I think it's more important we get rights and protections, and that discourse over specifics in language can be heavily debated later. In general, I would just ask people what terms they prefer and try to respect them and their disabled lives. ✌
