Do you feel like you might be enjoying a privileged freedom that many can not hope to take advantage of?
For example, I bet you enjoy both a solid competency in your field, and a relatively free or permissive social environment.
Things may be a lot different if an unskilled worker in a repressive society were put in a situation where their social life was highly exposed. I don't know what the exact balance is here, but I feel wary of taking your example as an all-clear on the privacy alarm.

- MarkPNeyer 15y agoi agree that you're probably a right. a lawyer probably couldn't get away with it like i've been able to do. my naive hope is that by being open like this i'll encourage others to do the same - if everybody was open about the struggles they faced as human beings, i think we'd all be struggling a lot less than we are.
- pork 15y agoUnfortunately, in many walks of life, admission of one's struggles is seen as a sign of weakness, and there are lots of people who want to prey on the (perceived) weak.
