The Power of Privacy: Why Keeping Some Things to Yourself is the Ultimate Act of Self-Love

Mar 27, 2024

In a world obsessed with oversharing, where every vacation picture and grocery haul gets documented online, the concept of privacy might seem outdated. But what if I told you that keeping some aspects of your life private is actually the key to a happier, more fulfilling life?

Here's a wake-up call: oversharing can be a recipe for drama and discontent.

If everybody likes you, you have a problem. You can’t trust anyone with information about your personal life.
It’s okay to vibe alone rather than feeling trapped in a room full of strangers. Fewer people, less drama, and more alone time.
Being private, staying low-key, and not telling everyone everything is self-care.
You don’t owe anyone any explanation. You start putting yourself and your own happiness first.
Privacy removes the stress of waiting for validation from others and you no longer care what people think of your life since they don’t know anything about it.
Even some of your so-called friends could be gossiping. This alone may be a reason to keep your life as private as possible.
You know when to be alone and when to be with others. You know what to say to others and what not to. You know what you want and what you don’t want. Just knowing that you have a safe outlet can get you out of so many storms.
Privacy gives you a chance to focus on what really matters.
