5 Things You Don't Need to Share on the Internet

These days everyone's on Facebook, or Twitter, or Instagram, or Tumblr. Everyone's got a blog. We've all got access to some form of social media where we can share whatever we want with all our friends. And we are sharing plenty - some might even say too much!
So here's a handy little list of things you should avoid posting for all your friends and followers to see (because - trust me - they aren't that interested):

1. Lists about what people shouldn't share on the internet. Seriously, who the fuck are you, the Facebook police? I'll share whatever I damn well please - it's my facebook and my twitter and my whatever-the-fuck else. And yours is too! Don't read lists like these and think you have to follow them. Grow the fuck up and make your own damn decisions! Does it comply with terms of service? Do you think you should share it? If you answered yes to both, share that shit! (not literal shit - even I will tell you not to post that.) If people don't want to see the things you post, fuck 'em. Why are they even following you?

Yes, other people have opinions and interests that are different from yours. And as nice as it would be if it were true, you are not a special little butterfly whose sensibilities are not allowed to ever, ever be offended. People are going to say things on the internet that you don't want to hear and they are going to share pictures that you don't want to see. Get over it. Unless it's actually, like, illegal or something, ignore it; it takes about two seconds to scroll right on past it.

Seriously. Grow the fuck up, butterfly.

Peace
