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.

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.

If I learned something from the pandemic is that a lot of people (surprisingly a lot) doesn’t give a crap about others people lives. Apparently comfort and going out is more important that not making others ill. I hit bottom when my in laws refused to wear masks near me when they know that I have lung problems and COVID would be dangerous for me.

To any and all a-holes out there. I was EXTREMELY careful not to get COVID. But I did anyway, probably because of a-holes out there. I wasn't dangerously ill. BUT I have brain damage that may be permanent. I've met numerous people who were VERY fit (triathletes, personal trainers, etc.) that have similar problems or things like permanent lung damage.

I watched a documentary once about a large boat that sank somewhere (I wish I could remember the details better). But the doc analyzed who survived and who didn't. The survivors weren't the selfish people who fended for themselves, or the people who jumped in and tried to be heroes to everybody. They were the people who banded together with the small group around them and all worked together to get out. I thought that was interesting.

I also learnt that people who think you shouldn't wear a mask have no issue pointing it out to you, not only with words but also with violence. I was followed around a park not long ago after I asked someone to social distance from me (no immune system) and I was spat on

I never realized just how selfish we Americans are until Covid. Before Covid if someone had asked me if all the people I know would wear a mask to help other people stay healthy & not die, I wouldn't have hesitated to declare, "YES!" Sadly, I've learned that far too many people don't care about others at all.

One thing I learned is that when there's is some crisis, like the covid epidemic, there are three types of people in the world: Type 1: We'd better stockpile food and medicine. Type 2: We'd better stockpile guns and ammunition. Type 3: We'd better stockpile toilet paper.

Yes. I live in the US. I believe one reason why so many people have refused to wear masks, is that we went about it all wrong. Officials recommended people wear masks in order to protect others. That's the problem. There are so many people, from all walks of life and from all over the country, that truly couldn't care less about others. If masks were recommended as a way to protect the wearer instead of those around them, I think it would be a very different story. Just my thoughts...

I thought exactly the same thing very early on. Unfortunately it is now a very selfish society and so many people are out for their own self interest. So many people don't care about protecting others. But tell them it's all about them, they're right on that. Which confuses me about getting vaccinated and refusing. It's to protect you from getting it! Just keep it vewy vewy quiet that it helps others.🤫

And then there's the rest of us. I help others to the tune of $500-1000 per year. It's not much but it helps them out. But since I only make $200/wk, I sure as f*** don't need the government raising my taxes to pay for more giveaways.

I do not disagree with you, but I also very clearly remember early on when virus fatalities were high among the elderly and practically nonexistent among kids. At that point it was "tee hee, Boomer Remover xD" and ageist horseshit like that. Sorry to provide that inconvenient reminder, but spare us the cherry-picking paired with "Won't somebody think of the chiiiiildren??" pearl-clutching.

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.
