Do you go deep and personal?

I'm just as bad, lol.

I never realize things like that until after it has been said, and by then, it's just too late, lol.

I don't ever really care about whether or not these people will tell others, because heck, if I met them, I would probably tell them myself! If it's something I don't care whether or not others know, it rushes out... but there are some things I just don't tell anyone or even give an inkling about.

I have a bit of trouble with this too. I can go from saying nothing to saying too much and then I realize that people read the wrong things into what you say when you say you've been vaccinated against this and that.

No, not at all. Maybe in my blogs but not in everyday conversation.

My problem, I think, is that someone will say something that ties to something else. Like, if someone told me they had a difficult pregnancy, they would find out all kinds of things about me from during mine.

god yes, it's horrible how many times I reveal too much and regret it. I am regretting now having said many things to an in law who has turned out to be very disappointing. And I befriended them and supported them and it turns out that even though other people were wrong their behavior is very, very wrong too. So it sucks.


I reveal things that come back and hurt me and I regret. I conclude again and again that speaking at all is the biggest risk I take in life on a daily basis. If I could refrain from it even 50 percent of the time that would be great.

if you felt the question was personal then it is perfectly okay to say 'that's personal'. It's also fine to say nothing...it is uncomfortable to do at first but many times silence is the best response. I think I learned watcing sitcoms that you were always supposed to have a witty answer that you throw out within seconds. So when I get uncomfortable my default thinking is 'what should I say' instead of 'shut up shut up shut up'.
