5 Things We Should Keep To Ourselves

five things we should keep to ourselves there's personal information that we should never share with others I'm not referring to your own partner or a truly trusted friend but sharing these pieces of information with many friends and acquaintances or even with a stranger without first reflecting on the potential consequences moreover nowadays many people tend to share personal information through social networks with a lot more people than they would have in the past some sharing can be acceptable but others are totally inappropriate let's see five things which you should always keep to yourself number one your love life what happens in your love life should stay between you and your partner I'm not only talking about intimate details but also various discussions or couples problems if you need some advice and you want to confide in a trusted person that's fine but don't go out and shout your problems from the rooftops by making some ambiguous post on Facebook other than looking like someone desperately needing attention you'll also look pathetically infantile number two your money if you have a lot enjoy it have fun and do what those without it can't but don't go around boasting about how much money you have in your bank account and how much you've spent on a certain luxury product be proud of having reached specific objectives that may have brought you a big financial return and celebrate your victories but don't be too explicit on your financial situation nobody likes show-offs this is especially true if you haven't earned this money by yourself but you've received it as a gift one in the lottery or inherited it instead because in those cases you'd look even more ridiculous number three secrets a secret is a secret if a friend confides to you a secret make sure it stays between you once you break the trust you have with someone it's difficult if not impossible to fully win it back don't be someone who gets involved in gossip on the private lives of others and especially don't talk bad about someone behind their back in turn always pay attention to those who talk to you negatively about someone who isn't present because at the same time they'll talk bad about you behind your back as soon as they get the chance there are obviously exceptions if one of your friends for example plans to harm themselves or someone else ethically it's your duty to intervene to stop it from happening but here we're clearly talking about extreme cases number four past resentments in a discussion make sure you concentrate on the specific problem that is in question at the time avoiding past resentments may be problems from years and years before the past can't be changed avoid allowing the past to define your present sticking to past visit UD's often means not having enough arguments to sustain a discussion based on current facts and those who do it know they're wrong but don't want to admit it and so they look for facts that are completely out of context to back up their opinion if not relevant to the subject being discussed avoid bringing up the past during a dispute number five your goals if you have big goals avoid sharing it with the world before achieving them I made a special video on this topic called make your dreams come true in silence that you can find on this channel how many times have you happened to read posts on social media from friends who are enthusiastic about starting a new project so excited to share it with the whole world I have a couple of acquaintances that every two to three months regularly have a new innovative idea that will lead them to becoming millionaires except then you no longer hear them talk about it anymore after that [Music] the key point is that you should avoid sharing your goals with others because it creates expectations that if not achieved will make you look like someone who talks a lot but does little in addition the opinions of others can cause confusion you'll get a lot of unrequested advice from people who probably have no experience in what you're trying to do you'll be immediately judged by people who haven't even the faintest idea of what it means to build something long-term and most of these will probably hope you fail to feel better about themselves in summary there aren't really any advantages to sharing big goals with everyone before reaching them obviously this wouldn't be the case if you want to launch a challenge or make a bet to reach a specific goal and which case sharing is inevitable the positive thing however is that in this scenario if somebody criticizes you he has to be ready to bet against you if he doesn't want to look like all talk and no action and this could turn to your favor in the case that you manage to reach your goal as you would win the bet in short if you want to share your goals do it in a way that makes it worth it if you enjoyed the video make sure to push the like button and subscribe to the channel if you
