Question: Why do you want to hide something?

For me, I need to hide something because I do not want other people to find it out. It is normal for us to hide something from others, especially strangers online or offline. Even I cannot blurt out more about myself here. As I had mentioned before that my life is not an open book. But I can share some pieces of my life. I do think that most of you do the same thing, right? What is your take on this concern? Image Credit: tristarpi.com

No, I actually don't bother to hide things... I tell people most of the things they ask me about. *shrug* I know a lot about people online that I don't mention because those aren't my secrets to tell. (I know your real name and what you look like in real life, but haven't told anyone else. That's up to you to tell or not to tell.)

@DaddyEvil It is our discretion to tell or not. I can tell that some are not saying the real truth, but I do not mind at all.

@Shavkat When I know someone is lying about stuff, I'm less likely to talk with them after that. I know some people don't want their real identity known and I'm okay with that... but lying about other things bothers me.

I do not hide things, but I do not share everything about my life.

I agree with you. Even if I am with my family, I do not tell them everything about me. I am not sure about the situation of having a wife in the future.

@LadyDuck I guess my partner in the future will be my best friend, too.

I personally do not care but maybe I should. People say I should or what society said I should and why I do not care on the secret. Its really just dumb and already spilled the beans its in there mixed with the ramble I speak.

Corporate world even said they do not care so why should I care about that. At end of day we are here to please corporate world.

Honestly, I also do not care if ever some secrets came out in the public about me. For sure, I do not need to explain myself to others. I must be doing it with my immediate family only.

If I shared everything about myself, I would be online all day writing a novel

I agree with you. We can only share so much with others.

I know some people whose life story would have to be written as fiction, it would be so unbelievable. Unfortunately I'm related to some of them. I share a fair amount about my life, but still not everything.

I cannot deny that I am not that free enough to broadcast my life, either online or offline. I think we are on the same page about this concern.

We can be open about our lives, but not needlessly so. I like to share what I like and depending on the occasion.

I don’t actually hide something about me. I just don’t like to open up publicly more about me. I control what I share online. My close friends know me well.

I also do share things to close people about me with limitations. It is only God who knows everything about me.

I am sure some Asian people are likely to be secretive due to being conservative. At some point, they keep their eyes on being like this.

I want to hide something for my privacy . It's my right to live a life that i wanted . I just want to be myself , to grow as a person and to be independent . I want to prevent the one who hurts me and leave my sad memories in my life .

I think everyone must have done something like you did, which is to hide something about his secret to other people.
