Are they your friends or family? Like I can not imagine some social interaction that goes beyond those frames. Friends or family usually do know you pretty well, they do not need to ask. Other people? Usually firm: 'None of your business' is enough to mark end of conversation.
Since usually, culture is imported to my side of the globe several years later, this makes me afraid for my kids. Will they have to fight peers like that? Will they become like that? This makes me wondering if I should not ban social media at my home till they grown up :D
- switchbak 11mo agoThis was actually not family - typically friends or friends-of-friends. Exclusively very online people, and those with strong ideological leanings. Typically younger, but not always. I hear you: "none of your business" is definitely right, but what's surprising is how entitled some people now feel to knowing details that are absolutely none of their business.
