The Dangerous of Oversharing on Social Media

Thesis :
We’ve all seen social media posts like the one above, right? Maybe you’ve posted something similar in the past. Let’s say
we posted that simple two-sentence status update for all our friends on our friend’s list. Harmless right? Wrong. Let’s
discuss the detailed information that we just handed over to a stranger, and for the sake of this post, an unknown criminal.
Here is the reasons why oversharing on social media is harmful.

Arguments :
So, why is oversharing a problem? We touched on this above, but didn’t go into much detail. With that said, here are a few
reasons to make sure you’re not oversharing: First, it can be unhealthy. When we're so heavily involved in social media that
we're oversharing, we're playing a game where we compare our lives to others.

This is known as social comparison. It can lead to depression, low self-esteem, and jealousy. Also, feeling like you have to
share every detail to appear “interesting” only feeds into those feelings.

Second, it can lead to security problems. Sites like Facebook have often been called a stalker paradise. If someone really
does want to stalk or target you in some way, they can learn about you by looking at your profile. The more info you share,
the more they know.

This can also put you at more of a risk for identity theft in some cases. For example, if a thief manages to get a hold of your
financial info, they can easily look at your Facebook to find other information needed to forge your identity.

Third, it can hurt your reputation. If you say the wrong thing without thinking, it can have huge consequences. On the
internet, nothing is really private and nothing really goes away. Even if your profile is set to private, your whole network
sees what you post. There’s nothing stopping your contacts from reposting and spreading what you say, even if you deleted
it.

Conclusion :
Before you post anything on social media, take some time to decide if posting it is really a good idea.

Use your best judgment to select what info you share on social media. Decide whether it’s too personal, private, or
controversial to post, safety comes first.
