Who's Up For TMI?

The Man sez: It's weird to see on Facebook that the guy who took your virginity is engaged to someone else. It doesn't make me feel sad or, like, wistful. It just feels strange. Also, she's not as cute as me

I've been both of those. Too much information is better. I say that because being open is the only way to be open. It sounds simplistic and probably more than a little bit trite, but it's basically impossible to connect with another person in any meaningful way if you aren't being your honest self. This is the caveat, though - you don't have to tell everything. You're allowed to keep things to yourself or to skew certain information a little. I have all these overachiever unbelievably smart friends and I remember that I felt so inferior when we got our SAT scores back. I earned an impressive score by, like, statistical averages but it was still much lower compared to them (and my prodigal brother) . But my therapist said "Then lie." It was maybe the biggest revelation I made with her. It's okay to keep details to yourself. So while you have to be whatever person you are, there will always be a bit of balancing to do. Be honest but in an honest way. Does that make sense
