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.
True. And I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
This is exactly what I ever wanted. Never mind if I had to go to the ballet studio every day, all day long. But I did it, with honors. I became a professional ballet dancer in Royal Theater in Amsterdam. That was my dream job. :)
Load More Replies...Look up “the Flight of the Humming Bird” by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s about this very concept! People with single purpose are Jack hammers. People with varying interests are humming birds. We need both!
My grand ambition is to find my purpose. But I'm starting to suspect that my life has no purpose. Sigh...😔
Leave the world better than you found it, in however small a way
Load More Replies...The purpose of each life is to find your own meaning. That can take a while, so yes, find interesting things to fill the days!
Totally my way of life. Great to know there's others out there like me. Let's unite. Maybe. Tomorrow? Next week? Oh! A squirrel!
although i don't completely agree with this, i absolutely love this perspective cx
For me, the meaning of life is: to experience evil and to learn to overcome it with love
Oh thank goodness. I am not a go getter at all. I've been a stay at home mom because I've got three autistic children. They're adults now . I remember thinking I'd work when they didn't need me so much. Now I'm like "work ? Psht! I'm retired" lol
Why is this unpopular? I don't desire to be famous nor speciel for other than my family... My life, my chance
I'm almost there, but it's a strange place . . . always teetering on the brink of disaster!
That's what Isaac Newton claimed that he did. Admittedly not the nicest person, but he achieved stuff.
i totally agree! HAVE FUN DAILY, LIFE IS SO SHORT (and brush your teeth, you will miss them when they're gone)
Thank you. I have been struggling with feelings of lack of achievement in my later years. This helps me articulate what I've been trying to tell myself, and helps feel supported.
It would be ok. If u had a choice to this life. I wouldn't mind going through worst things if I had the right to decide to being born. But since I didn't u better have some Direction I can take otherwise I wasn't interested in life anyway. It's stupid crazy & boring. I m much better being not born
Actually it turns out that for the vast majority of us, this IS how life works regardless of ambition.
This is an unpopular opinion ? I kinda thought this was the norm lol
It is. Every "unpopular opinion" is actually very popular opinion.
Load More Replies...For hobbies and spare time, 2 thumbs up. For a career, keep up with the changes, work with good people.
These are the kinds of people that attach themselves to cancel culture.
I don't believe everyone was born with a purpose in a life. Some people switch careers. I mean we are just here because we are conceived
And if you just wander through life with no plan or direction you'll probably get run over by a truck, so you won't have to worry for so long.
I think a lot of people do this as a result of not finding their "purpose". Me included.
Because constantly improving yourself, 'being your best self' and 'making the most of your life' are deeply ingrained in current western culture
Load More Replies...I haven't exactly "wandered" through life, but I've certainly done almost everything I thought of and had a lot of fun, experiences, lessons learned, etc. Can't say I'm through, yet. After all, I'm only 87 years old.
Totally agree but if that attitude is not accompanied with a sense of helping others or making the world a better place, you are just a compete f*****g oxygen bandit and should be killed instantly.
Is it your purpose in life to try to tell people their opinions are wrong? Sounds glorious.
Load More Replies...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.
Genius
Best Of Both Worlds Honestly
I Love That Life Makes Sense For Him Now
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."

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.

Chatted to a fairly new colleague at work. Told him I was very hungry, had no food, and break was 3 hours to go. He offered me his sandwich. I accepted and ate it straight away. He still recalls „the day I ate his sandwich“. Well, don‘t offer it out of courtesy if you‘re not prepared to loose it. We‘re married 10 years this year. :-)
