I for one ; value my privacy.
Here is an example:
My mother in law. How would I like her to see that I've got my pics plastered all over a fitness and steroid website? What about that ex who might come here laughing his ass off because I finally have to diet and work out ; or the random guy from high school that I dont want knowing about my narcissism.
Its nice to NOT be known. Thats all. I guess i've had a couple of brushes with being found and its just easier this way.
For example I used to have a blog on Xanga ; that I updated and had pics on and whatever ; but I was found and it just made me feel uncomfortable.
The people who dont open up on the internet are the ones that probably have a hard time opening up in real life as well.
I can see your point to an extent. The pics I am posting are totally appropriate. I am not posting pictures of me naked, naughty pictures, etc. I think there is a BIG difference between sharing pictures that are totally appriopriate and then pics that aren't. I have a myspace website, too so to me, I am used to this. I would never share a picture that I thought would invade my privacy and what not. Believe it or not, it's very EASY for people to find out a lot about you JUST BY BEING on the internet. It happens to people all the time. Just because you don't have pictures up doesn't mean people can't find out things about you, you know? I just have a different opinion. No one that I know would laugh at me for putting pictures up like these.
Plus, people have their avatars and profile pics up here, too. What's the difference?
