How personal are we allowed to be, before our readers starts to ignore the things we share? How personal can we be before our readers think it's embarassing and how much can we share without facing risks of personal attacks?
For me this whole thing is rather simple. You can be as personal as you like, the profile and thus the blog is yours. By the time i got in Steemit the number 1 thing that made me stay was the community.
I never saw in comments of a quality post someone to insult someone else like you will see in any other social media. Instead they tried to help. I can guarantee then that nobody will insult you either if you write and you have written some of your personal things,struggles, issues,thoughts (name it as you wish).
On the other hand i am talking only for myself here if someone all day long makes posts about his personal issues and nothing more, craving attention from the others then i will unfollow him. I think by now i can pretty much understand who does it to express his feelings and let it one
or seek advice and who wants the attention and money from the others.
As for the embarrassment i don't think anybody will tell you anything like that expect if you say that you stole money from a little kid :P
I can totally understand your point. I wouldn't follow a person who only talks about his problems or troubles either. It's tiresome and even though I love to help and support others, I can't really be a public psychologist. However, I'm old enough to understand that life is a bitch for most people at some point in life, so I have no problem with people talking about their issues and concerns, as long as it doesn't become a 24/7, never ending shitshow. In fact, I encourage people to ventilate and talk about these things, because I'm genuinely interested and I strive to learn and get more knowledge.
Well... Kids don't really need money, right? :P
hahaha true true !
