Your life should have privacy settings too. Not everyone needs “public.”

Most of what you share gets shared at one setting, with the whole room, because no other setting was ever chosen. Some things belong to two people, some to a few, and some to nobody but you. Picking the audience before you speak spares a surprising amount of later regret.
