Keeping some things private isn’t being fake. Not every part of you needs to be posted to be real.

Privacy and dishonesty get confused because both involve not saying something. Dishonesty gives people a false picture, while privacy declines to give them the whole one, and nobody is owed the whole one. A friendship, a grief, a plan or a belief does not become more real by being announced.

Pick one good thing in your life and keep it off the feed for a while. Not out of superstition, just to notice that it keeps its shape without being seen. If somebody calls that secretive, you would rather live some of it than report all of it.
