The ability to tell the entire world what you feel or think is dizzying. 'How should I phrase this?' 'Do I include that?' 'Is this oversharing?' So many doubts are lurking around that share button.
But believe it or not, some people are immune to them. They post every thought that crosses their mind. And they can be anyone! Parents complaining about their kids, high schoolers "analyzing" political discourse, celebrities interacting with fans, or everyday folks venting about their lives; we can't keep count.
Here's a collection of tweets from people who decided to get personal online. Too personal!

The staff at CollegeGrad, an entry-level job site for college students and recent grads, believe there are at least 9 things you should never post on social media.
1. Profanity. The language you use on social media is often the same one you'll use when casually interacting with coworkers. A minor four-letter-word once in a while isn't a crime, but if swearing is a big part of who you are, it may affect how employers look at you.
2. Abusive content. Social media can be a great place to share opinions, but if your feed is full of arguments and rants, you may come across as an overly negative person, probably not the kind of employee companies want in their office.
3. Adult content. A snapshot on the beach is perfectly fine but posting explicit photos of yourself can have a noticeable impact on your image. The Internet is a public place. So, before posting a selfie, consider if you are OK with being seen like that in the office.

4. Illegal content. Not only could this get you fired, but it may also land you on America's Stupidest Criminals. Even worse, you could be arrested if authorities see credible evidence of certain kinds of illegal activity.
5. Offensive content. Racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination should have no place in your (online) life.
6. Negative opinions about your job, employer, boss, or professor. One comment about how you hate your job could cause future employers to wonder if you really like the work you are doing or not. And a comment about your "stupid boss" could make your next conversation about the raise you were hoping to get a lot more difficult.
7. Drug-related content. Some employers may require you to pass a drug test as a hiring condition. But chances are you won't even make it that far if you post about substances publicly.

Wait! You Guys Got A Tutorial?!
Yep,she's Right
8. Poor grammar. A comma here and there is nothing but if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", it's time to learn. Communication, including writing, is an important part of professional life.
9. Threats. It is not OK to threaten others, no matter the situation you're in. Wishing someone ill, whether it is a friend, family member, colleague, politician, celebrity, whatever; if you don't like someone else, social media is not the place to be hurling threats of any kind.
The Internet is public. Remember that when you're posting from your personal account.

Why is your political affiliation so important to Americans? Are there no people that just don't like any of them? That think, I'll listen to what they say and vote for the person that seems to have the best ideas to me? Nobody that thinks, 'I agree with the Dems on that subject, but disagree with the other thing. And I like the Reps idea on this, but not on that'?

Truly A Yearly Highlight
When I was 7, I lost a tooth. I put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy. The next morning I found a $20 bill under my pillow. I rushed in to the kitchen and said "The tooth fairy gave me 20 bucks!!" My mother looked at my Dad and said "Wow...the tooth fairy was generous!" To which my Dad responds "Probably because it was dark and the tooth fairy couldn't see what he was pulling out of his wallet."

Is It Even Real??
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!! And what's with everyone flying off to far away places to enjoy the sun when I can't visit my parents who live 2 miles away!?
I got vaccinated so I can travel. We can’t spend 2-4 years lock up in our apartments, it’s unrealistic. The best we can do is get vaccinated, practice social distancing and wear our mask while living our lives. I’ll be damn if I die locked up in my apartment hoarding toilet paper.
Load More Replies...Right! We're all sick of this, but some of us realize it's NOT over. Witnessing the disregard for precaution is beyond baffling at this point.
My in laws getting upset w me Bc I won't go to a bridal shower tmrw w 70plus people and kids. I'm vaccinated but I just watched my mom die while having to take turns w our loved ones Bc only one was allowed inside at a time bc of covid restrictions. They think I'm being unreasonable I think some of them are going to end up w the delta variant and I want no part of it
And the non-masker non-vaccination people are the one complaining the loudest and most about it while they are a big contributor to keeping it going.
I'm one of the non vaccinated no mask people and almost everyone I know who doesn't wear a mask or get vaccinated are the ones saying that this is all dumb crap. The people who wear masks are the only ones I've heard complain
Load More Replies...I wasn't allowed in the covid wing of the hospital because I could have carried germs in or out. Not because her doctors wanted me to be terrified of the virus. I'm not mad I didnt get to see her, there was good reasons I couldn't, I was just sad she died without me holding her hand
It's pretty great. Especially watching all the hand wringing and whailing about locking down and keeping masks.
Covid didn't spread on the wind. It came in from travellers. Got to ask; did covid start spiking again in your area after March break, when the entitled people travelled anyway?
You're not the only one who hallucinated it apparently
They've got you right where they want you. Scared. Waiting for the powers-tha- be to give you your next directive. Don't move. They'll tell you when to move. There's a whole world out there not freaked out. LIVING AND DOING FINE!!
4M confirmed deaths, 8B people in the world. That's 0.05% of the population dead, but the economic cost will last for decades, the deaths from cancelled diagnostics and treatments is heading towards the same number, and unprecedented health service waiting lists. The "cure" has been worse than the disease
So if we let it run rampant without lockdowns, social distancing, masks, etc and more recently all the vaccines - how many people do you think would have died? Or been too sick to work? Taken up hospital resources? Then how much of an impact that would have had on the economy? Dead people don't buy things, sick people don't do a lot of it either. With the variants increasing the infection speeds and younger people being affected, that is dying and getting long covid. If no attempts to contain the disease had happened what impact then on the hospitals and cancelled diagnostics and treatment? The actions taken made a difference - we would not be looking at similar statistics at all.
Load More Replies...personal choice? just follow the science and the rules....i dont see a problem.
My Grandmother died of your so called "mass hysteria". Shame on you. I didn't even get to say goodbye to her in the hospital.

Its so weird how Magic Mike is literally a movie about male strippers, yet they still managed to sexualise women/treat women as somewhat of a joke (i.e. its 'funny' but not threatening to see middle-aged women losing it over male strippers), all the while still portraying the men as dominant and strong

My gf found a lost phone once, which of course was locked, and we were sitting there wondering what to do with it when it rang and it was the owner's mother. So if you lose your phone, try phoning it, as some nice person may have found it and be trying to work out how best to return in.
