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!

Yes, I think that. I don’t have a particular goal but I still enjoy everyday. Hey, look the neighbours sent cake. Funky. I’ll bake them something too. And this will go in my journal as a fun day.

This may well be the finest motivational statement ever written. I am genuinely moved and life makes a little more sense today. Miss me with that 'Live, Laugh, Love' crap.

This is refreshing but I'm also kinda scared by it because I feel like I have to work a 9-5 for the rest of my days or else I wouldn't be able to survive.

I can understand that. The thing is you don't have to do the same 9-5 job for the rest of your days. Try different things? Some jobs are great because the people are great. All jobs have boring aspects but as long as you enjoy most of it or get something rewarding out of it - might just be knowing that you are providing a necessary service. Also, work to live and not live to work - get that work/life balance right.

I just want to be happy, really. I don't want to be rich & famous or climb the corporate ladder. I make enough to afford rent and basic needs and I can sometimes get a tattoo and go on vacation. That's fine by me.

Life needs to have purpose because if you don't have a reason to hang on when life gets dark, you're going to find yourself having no reason to not peace yourself out. "finding interesting things" can be great, but those interesting things can be "you have terminal cancer", "Your SO has been cheating on you", etc, as well. Having a purpose or a plan can literally be the difference between life and death.

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.

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'?

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."

Both understandable. What's the point of calling an obese person fat? They won't magically loose weight and it will probably just make them feel bad. Complimenting a person that has lost weight is a nice thing to do.
