What does it really mean to share opinions with the world?
Should I not simply be satisfied in knowing what I know, and not telling anyone of it?
I dont think so but at the same time I think its a grey issue.
We are social beings, and there is an innate desire to share that which brings us joy with others.
But the downside of that, or rather, that same sentiment can also become a curse if one lets it get to the point where one fills the need to share everything with people.

I think the most toxic aberration of this curse is seen in those who try to paint their life to others in a way that it isnt, to those who brag of things they dont have, however, it can he equally bad to brag of what one does have.

In my case, i choose to keep the truly good things that make me happy to myself, because i find in sharing that info it becomes.. dirtier. Yes indeed it does.

What i share when i make these threads is really just surface level small talk for me. Its social, its fun, and i dont think its problematic.

However, it is interesting that line that is drawn between that which we keep to ourselves, and that which we share with the world. Its an interesting phenomenon when you think about it.

I still have to delve deeper into this. But generally, it is nice to talk to people isnt it. A lonely world would be rather boring.

And so my conclusion is
Its vital, and important, to have friends with which one can share information that one finds joyous.
However i think its also important to not become reliant on others peoples feedback.

You tell people your opinions becouse perspective is a totalizing system that seeks to engulf the universe and so you spread it to others hoping to infect them

This is one of the detrimental things about social media. Humans have a variety of emotional needs including will to mastery, feeling like they're working towards something, having the esteem of their peers and acknowledgment within a community. Someone can have these needs met simply by fantasizing about what their life ought to be and talking about it likes it true but for 99% of human history that wasn't possible because people would just call you out on it. Now you can go on social media and gesture at being accomplished in something to get emotional needs met and then it's a vicious cycle of lying to yourself while sitting on a computer doing nothing.
