Balance - it's the essence of just about everything. I have gone back and forth here on Hive with being secretive and - not so much, even posted a photo of me 😱 figuring, well, I have had a website for - uff - almost twenty years. People don't need to dig hard if they wanted to find me. Who would want to though? I agree people are bonkers and there may be nutcases who might but - I don't see it. Right now.
Anyways, I respect everyone's right of privacy and each to their own. Like you, if people are too secretive and show no personality, I turn away. It's just not enjoyable.

(But am I?)
LOL - of course you are! At least to us here on Hive, just like I am OceanBee on here.
I hear you and have put loads of photos of me on here, my partner too, but they got used for nefarious purposes by someone I'll downvote until the end of time (their posts and comments) so now I don't use my image. I'm a nobody in truth, I mean in real life, unremarkable in every way, but am careful with information here and in real life...I also know how to take care of business so should someone get freaky they'll lose and lose big. You know?
I've seen people show their drivers licence, credit cards, post their child's photographs and stuff on Hive...I'm not sure that that's the best thing to be doing, but it happens.
I would hate feeling like I have to hide everything so (like you) I should who I am from a personality perspective and I'm happy to do so.
Anyway, you're you and I'm me...you know me and I know you and that's about all that matters.
