From the feelings you have written about, to a cool little doodle you did. And if you do share, with whom and why?

Nope. I do not want to publicize my list of food brands ranked by my own personal preference or my list of books I should read. I might be a PKMS person and not a journal person but it still feels too personal to share—less because "oh how embarrassing!" and more because "okay who would even be interested besides a weird stalker?" the same way most people do not post what time they leave the house or eat or their bathroom habits.

I thought this might be a fun question because I was thinking: some people put thoughts and feelings in their journal, and was curious if that was enough for them or if they also try to share it with people. And if part of why I don't journal is because I share my thoughts and feelings with people, so I feel no need to write them down elsewhere. And then I thought maybe I could turn it into a more general question to help you with your community.
