Iâm not on bad terms with my housemate, but they constantly share me in their stories. With messy hair, half-asleep, or while cooking and stuff. To be honest, I donât find it that sincere because I donât know who their followers are. If I told them directly, would I come off as too sensitive? How careful do you think people should be about their privacy?
I think you should just say it directly, this isnât about being sensitive or anything. Especially as you said, sharing things in a groggy state isnât nice at all. Youâre saying itâs unclear who your followers are; I believe this is a clear violation of boundaries.
The whole story thing is really a hassle. I had a friend who would always pull out his phone and take pictures in social settings. One day I explicitly told him, âYou shouldnât take pictures of me.â He took it quite seriously. Donât worry, he wonât take offense, just make sure to speak in a calm tone ![]()
So, have you ever hinted that youâre uncomfortable with such things? Even if you donât speak, through your facial expressions or gestures? If youâve felt it and it continues, it seems like there might be another issue there ![]()
Such situations can be considered an invasion of privacy. Continuous and unauthorized sharing can create a feeling that personal spaces are being violated. Perhaps if you express it simply as, âIt would be helpful if you asked before sharing me,â you would be addressing your discomfort.
Actually, I implied it, you know, I said things like âso youâre recording now, huhâ a couple of times, but he just laughed it off. Maybe heâs continuing because I didnât say it directly. Youâre right, I guess I need to speak more clearly ![]()
But for example, it doesnât seem like the roommate is doing this with bad intentions. After all, social media use is very common these days. Maybe the subject is being a bit too sensitive? Since youâre not being sincere, I think you should leave a window open for them as well.
Just because you live in the same house with someone doesnât mean everything should be laid bare. The inside of the house is private. There used to be none of this; no one interfered with anyone elseâs shoes or pajamas. Now, everyone has started to expose each other, which is quite a corruption.
