Hey girls, I need to ask something. My relationship with my roommate started off well, but now I’ve seriously started to feel scared. The other day, she secretly posted a video call I had with my family on her story, and I didn’t even know! I told her, and she said, ‘Oh sorry, I thought it was such a cute moment,’ but isn’t this a private thing? Do you think I’m overreacting, or is this a serious problem?

8I’ve experienced the same thing before.
I’ll tell you the same story. I once saw my old friend sharing a voice recording of my family on their story, saying “Their voices sounded sweet and all.” But honestly, it ruined our relationship because there were no boundaries. This kind of stuff needs attention, don’t underestimate it.
But you also need to think a bit, why are you giving your friend such an opportunity? Maybe you should have made that video call more special. If there’s an open place, whoever finds the opportunity will share it; after all, a story isn’t something that should be blown out of proportion.
There are actually two things here: the first is the right to privacy, the second is social media habits. Many people can unknowingly violate others’ boundaries. If this goes a step further, it could even lead to things like unauthorized sharing of private conversations. It is crucial to express your discomfort clearly and politely. If it continues, you may need to ask about your personal space.
Hey girls, hello again. This topic came up again today; she was video calling another friend and talked without caring that I was right behind her. To be honest, my trust got a bit more shaken. Privacy is important, you know? I really have no idea how this will be solved…
Wait a minute, I think there’s something else going on here. Otherwise, why would they do something like this? If they’ve brought up the family issue in the story, maybe they have some intention of showing it to others. They might be talking a lot with their friend group. I’d say observe a bit 
I don’t understand why everyone pays so little attention to privacy. Family is sacred, and there shouldn’t be anything of theirs that is randomly shared on social media. Your friend has been very thoughtless about this; you have to be careful around such people.
I think this is a somewhat serious topic. Social media incidents shouldn’t be taken so lightly, in my opinion. It would be good to have an open conversation with your roommate because things like this, once they start, may not have an end. I also pay attention when I do video calls at home, about who comes in and out of the room.
