Revealing too Much Information(Giving others Ammunition against You).

There is a habit that a lot of people have that I just don't quite understand. I mean we have have bad habits that we should be held accountable for. However, this is one habit that many people quite frankly bring on themselves. One thing that I can't understand about some people is this; why do you put all of life out there for others to see, and then get angry when people use what you put out against you? Hmm. What's up people? It's me Brad H. once again with another blog post of 'Brad H's Perspective'. Thanks for joining me once again.

So yea I just went there and aired it out on some of you right? Haha. If that's how you viewed what I said, let me apologize now. It's never my intentions to make anyone feel bad. Besides, if that's the case, I should be feeling bad right now myself. I've definitely had my share of talking too much to people who didn't have my best interest in mind. At any rate, it's true that many of us just reveal too much about ourselves to others. I'll admit that I'm one of those people that tries to see the good in everyone, but I also know that a lot of people will change up on you at the snap of a finger. As life carries on, people indeed do change -- and that also applies to the people we believe are our friends as well. Nothing is never guaranteed in life, not friends, not family - nothing.

I'm in no way implying that we shouldn't trust others. It's perfectly fine to put trust in those we feel are worth it. However, trust and putting all of your business out there are two different things. It's definitely possible to trust someone, and not reveal every little detail about yourself to them. We just have to learn what to reveal to others, and what to keep within ourselves. Not everyone is going to see or view things in the light as you, and some people will try to make you feel bad or different if they don't. It's okay to talk and trust, it's just not wise to be that way with everybody.

One example I can think of off top is how people are always airing out their lives on these social networking sites, and then call themselves getting angry because the things they put on there got out to others. Whose fault is that? Stop giving people ammunition to use against you. Learn to wise pick and choose what to tell others. Deceptions and secrets lie within the hearts and minds of everyone. Lets work on being content with our own goals and aspirations. If someone doesn't believe in them, stop telling people about them. Remember, people can only use what you tell them against you.

So to sum it all up, stop airing all of your life to others. Jealously and envy exists, and a lot of people are waiting for you to slip up and use things they may know about you against you. Pick and choose wisely what you reveal. Well that's it for this time around. Thanks again for reading, and I'll see you all again soon. Peace!
