We all have this habit of saying "It is private"!

What do you mean by Your Private?

Will you only disclose the bare basics, and no too personal a detail, but again then what is too personal to you? This private changes from one person to the next that you come in contact with! Some you will bare your soul too, while most others get a blank wall...

This is a very touchy subject, and not all will participate, as their private is not to be discussed at all...can yours be...or is your Private too Private too...

Please read the write-up:
It is all about the word "Private" meaning different to different people.
Thus: Do you know how to explain Your "Private"?

I assume you mean YOU'RE, a contraction of "you are".

YOUR means possessive, meaning "my".

smiley963: You can write your "Privacy Limits or how far they stretch".
Most people will see this thread as "An Invasion of their Privacy", which it is NOT, while the tread is referring to:
"How far does your Privacy Stretch"
"Can you quantify Invasion of Your Privacy"
And yes it differs from person to person!!!
So true. Some may think this thread, is in reference to their profile or private messages or forum posts. And forget about IRL (In real life) or in general laugh

Everybody has the right to be different from others, as we all in real life are. If they take it personally, it is their right too.

My privacy differs depending on the person talking to. I have no taboo subjects, but the info will dribble or pour, or anywhere in-between...

Hope that answers your full question?
