Mastering the art of not telling all my business

“You need to stop telling everyone all your business”. A piece of advice someone told me recently. In all truth, that golden rule of advice was specifically tied to my need to overshare my dating experiences with any and all of my friends and family, but since then, I’ve decided to see if I can apply my new rule to other avenues of my life as well.

You see, I have this issue of not being able to make decisions **especially important ones** without consulting every person in my life. Like “Should I break up with him for ….”, “Do I give him another chance?”, “Which car should I get?”, or “Where should I move?”. One might say it stems from childhood, attachment styles, etc., and that COULD be true, but the way I see it, I just value the opinions of those close to me and ultimately believe that not all of life’s decisions should be made alone.

Yes, that could be seen as me trying to avoid the truth of the matter that maybe I don’t trust my own intuition or that I fear the judgment that comes from making the wrong decisions. Those are all things I’ll have to address on my own one day, but as of right now, what I do know is that this blog will be the beginning of me mastering the art of “NoT TeLlInG AlL mY BuSINESs”. After all, is it really your business if everyone knows it??

Now I know it’s funny to say that, seeing that this blog will be open to the public and all. But what I mean is that no-one in my personal life will know about it. Usually I would keep a diary for just me, myself and I (which I’ll continue to do), but my goal here isn’t to be “known”, rather this is just a “creative release” or a possible “time capsule” for any moodz I find myself in. The idea of creating a blog keeps floating around in my mind, and honestly I have so much that I want to share so if I am able to find and connect with those who might resonate similarly with my own thoughts and ways of life then WELCOME!!!

And since you’re here, I’ll leave you with this question: Have you, are you also trying to, or do you even care to master the art not telling all your business?

  1. I don’t try but realise afterwards that maybe I didn’t need to talk so much about myself.

    1. I totally feel you! It’s always a toss up for me, on one hand I believe the people that truly care about us want to know about us, but on the other I always ask myself “If everyone knows everything about me then what do I have for myself?” Hopefully you’re able to find whatever balance works for you (:
