Call me weird but I never understood the concept of privacy in many situations. When I was a little girl, my parents would be in deep conversation about family drama and I would be nosy and ask them what is going on and they would say it is "none of my business." I wanted to know because I wanted to understand the issues that surrounded my family not because I meant anything negative.
"None of your Business" is a common response in my life. As an adult, I often tell people most things about me because I don't see anything harmful in doing so. Of course I don't tell things that are dangerous to tell such as Social Security Numbers, accounts, passwords etc. But for example, at work, when I take a vacation leave, I tell everyone what I'm up to and share the experience when I get back. Other employees are very private about their vacations when I inquire. I'm just getting to know how they enjoyed their time. I didn't ask to be judemental, critical, or mean. Why so private? Why can't society share their private experiences, thoughts, crisis, etc with people who inquire? I understand that it doesn't involve me. That part I get. What I don't understand is why choose to be private over being public to someone? Is it a disadvantage to reveal something? Do they think I think less of them for telling me? I will judge them? Maybe I can help them with something?

One wonders why someone who claims to be about fairness and so in a simple, easy way that is available to straight people is NOT helping us as a society.

I just want to share/communicate those things that are considered "private" with people because it builds connections in society. You know, I don't even know who the people that live next door to me are because they are so private. So sad if you ask me.
simple it is none of your business. what purpose does it serve for you to know. privacy is something everyone should have.
Private aye? Do you also tell your co-workers who you've slept with or you you've lost your virginity to, whens the last time you pooped and such? Do you get dressed with the windows open? Those are considered private matters. Some things are better left private.
If someone choose not to share such info with you, respect it and not be such a nosy body. No one likes a nosy person.Just because you seem to be open with what you do that doesn't mean everyone else has to. It's their business and if they choose to share it, so be it.
Edit: I'm sorry but your question seems very ridiculous. I mean who you've slept with is very private to most people. it's no one elses business, really. I doubt if you go about telling that info to the world. See what I mean? Everyone has a right to keep things private. That's why I answered in such a way. If you were talking in general terms, why do you choose to ramble on about what you do with your co-workers. A vacation is not really private. But if you choose to talk about yours. that's on you. If the others don't who cares. They choose not to talk about it and that's that. If that's how they choose to live fine Don't sweat it. Not everything about everybody is meant for you to know.

Thats the problem with "extroverts" They think they have something you need. If you don't already know why privacy is essential, then anything I say will be lost on you. It doesn't need to be explained, like the wind. Why do you tell everyone at your place of work what, where and the how of your vacation? Do you think you are THAT important? Laughable! Why don't you get the "none of your business" part? People aren't all like you, and you shouldn't expect them to be. Your "need" to inquire and know about the inner workings of EVERYONE'S life sounds a bit mental to me. Live and let live! Why is that so hard for you? EDIT: And what if one does not wish to "build" connections with the Nosy Ones? Is that OK with you, or do I need a special permit for that? What's "sad" about the whole thing is your inability to leave well enough alone! Actually, I have moods when I like people with your nature, they wanna "know" something?.....well, I give them something for them to munch on, the world calls it a "white lie", I call it defense. For YOUR information, what if I do think it is a disadvantage to reveal something to anyone? What of it? Do you feel that your "missing out" on something if person X chooses to not reveal something? I answered your previous question, not to your liking, but I answered it. That's just something you will have to get used to if/when you grow up. You can call it what you like, defensive, anti-social, misanthropic, "too" private, it matters little to me.
EDIT AGAIN: I just noticed something really interesting...YOUR Q&A NETWORK IS...PRIVATE!!!??? wow, now WHY is that? You, the eternal busybody, who wants to know about everybody else, refusing to have your own questions and answers network out there for the world to see. WHAT A HYPOCRITE!. You wanna know everybody's else's business, but YOUR business, ohhh, nooo, THAT"S off limits? You reek of slimy corruption. Is your nearest relative named Ashcroft or Rice or Cheney?
Privacy is the supreme value of our society. It is more important than the life of any number of individuals. It is acceptable to kill 5 men to save the privacy of one.
