When people don't have a perfect "Facebook life" they are castigated for oversharing and washing dirty linen in public. On a public medium like Facebook, you keep things perfect because everyone from your boss to your juniors and your grandmother is reading.
- tachyonbeam 7y agoThat's true. I started a new job where all my coworkers (including my boss) added me on Facebook. I recently realized that I'm now censoring myself more than I was before. It's a question of status: I don't want to broadcast to my coworkers that I sometimes go to electronic music events. I know they would judge me negatively. My girlfriend recently broke up with me. I didn't say anything on Facebook either, because I don't want to seem like a whiner. Maybe it's not such a bad thing, the net result is that I participate less in public discussions on Facebook, and instead discuss these things privately with close friends instead.
