Most don't seem to be afraid to give every detail about their lives, whether or not it is a detail to be proud of. They don't bottle anything up. Whereas most people in the world only give you a limited scope of who they really are and the rest of their life they remain a secret. This whole reckless honesty seems taboo to me.
Maybe it is because for our entire history, (most) people here have had the freedom to speak their minds and defend their positions without worrying that the local (village head man or local clergy) or national (Kim Jong-un, Saddam Hussein, Hitler, Stalin, etc...) authority will come kill your family.
What part of the world are you from and are people in your home afraid to speak their minds?
I am quite open with those who I have a strong bond with. I wouldnt go up to a stranger and discuss intricate details about me. You form close relationships with those you open up to. I dont have a facebook/social media accounts if thats what you mean, I do not post my life online for public to see in that regard.
Whatta stupid over-generalization.
I'm American born and raised and don't consider myself all that open to people I dont know.
If I dont know you, I probably wouldn't even talk to you. Not being snobbish either, just not that type of person to "put it all out there" to people I dont even know. I dont care to really.
Why are Americans so open? I dont really think they are all that open.
I'm extremely open. Nothing is taboo and I'll be happy to discuss my successes and my failures. I have nothing to be ashamed of.
