Just because someone is curious, and feels they are entitled to more information, doesn't mean they are actually "entitled," and that they will get it.
I am grateful, when folks share intimate stuff with me. I have been in that position for decades, and I've learned not to pry for more. There's usually a good reason they don't go further. I may not think it's a "good" reason, but they do, so what I think means diddly squat.
The Internet has done weird things to personal boundaries and propriety. Kinda sad, really.
A good example of this would be a Facebook post similar to the following: “oh wooow I had such a hard day! Can’t believe what I had to do to overcome! Craaaazy time! I hope nothing like that happens again.” and then provide zero context.
Then they act surprised anyone would request for more details. I don’t get the pearl clutching folks like this do. If you have no intention of elaborating, either don’t engage in any responses or don’t bother sharing anything on the Internet at all.
To be clear, this is not a dunk on you or anyone in particular. Just explaining why others might be so inquisitive.
There's fairly practical reasons for not disclosing these specifics in public. Some folks here would probably understand, quite well.
Like I said, I think that people oversharing on TikTok has gotten folks thinking that they have the authority to demand intimacy from anyone they want. If someone doesn't share their secrets, then "what are they hiding?" or "They are being fake."
Can understand it, but I'm not particularly sympathetic to that mindset. I certainly don't think that of others. I'm 63, and not interested in impressing anyone. I can share more than many, because I'm no longer looking for work, but I couldn't care any less, about being some kind of tragic archetype.
Your reply also has a subtweet style to it - but I sure there's a better word to describe it!
Anyway, look at us now not talking about the subject... Because it was only vaguely referenced in the first place.
