How open/secretive are you on the internet?

[sc94597]

So as somebody with high-functioning autism, one of the most fundamental traits of autism is the lack of thinking in terms of self-relevant information. See: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091213214104.htm

So I often tell people whom I barely know extremely personal things (without having a concept that they are overly personal), and that includes on the internet, without thinking too much about the consequences of doing so. I do more often filter what I say now, than in the past though, after feeling the consequences of being too open a few times.

In real-life, I am a much more private person because there are more damning social consequences than in online interactions, but I am generally egocentric/self-centered overall.

The internet somewhat insulates a person from many of the social consequences of real life, and it therefore allows one to act in what are otherwise deemed as socially inappropriate ways.
