1. your private life. Sure, some things you should definitely share with your friends. After all, that's what friends are for, right? But there are some parts of your life that you should always keep to yourself. Be open about the things you feel comfortable with, but keep your boundaries. Your life belongs to no one else but yourself.
2. your relationship problems. If you have something to say to your partner, you should say it to his face. Asking your friends for advice is okay, but only up to a certain point. The problems you and your partner are facing should be clarified between the two of you. No one else should be involved. So keep your love life to yourself. Unless, of course, your partner is a toxic, narcissistic person who makes your life hell. In this case you should not hesitate to ask for help.
3. your finances. This speaks for itself. What more is there to say? When it comes to money, people are willing to do the worst to get some. Therefore, your financial status is something that should only concern you. The more you disclose your income, the more they will try to bring you down.
4. your weaknesses. Be very careful who you entrust your greatest weaknesses to. Not every person you hang out with is your friend, and not every person who is nice to you means well to you. Protect your privacy and remain vigilant about your personal life.
5. your dreams. Did you know that the more you share your dreams and goals with other people, the less motivation you actually have to work hard and fulfill them? I don't know about you, but I have felt it more than a few times. Sharing my future plans with people was just discouraging for me. To be honest, the whole thing just puts more pressure on you and eventually prevents you from being productive. And we don't really want that, do we?
6. your family problems. I've said it before, and I'll say it a million times more. What goes on in your family is nobody's business but your own. And let's be honest. Sharing family problems with your friends is not only unpleasant, but it is also completely inconsiderate towards your family. If you reveal too much to the wrong people, it can definitely do more harm than good.
7. your honest actions. I know that we live in a society where people love to share and be praised for every little thing in their lives. I know that we have some serious problems for that. But here is the truth. If you really, really want to bring about some change in this world, do it because you care, not because you want the whole world to know about it. Humility is the highest virtue one can possess. If you want to help someone, do it for him, not for glory. These small acts of goodness are purest when they are unseen... Never forget that
