be more private

I’m considering this goal “done” even though I’m continuing to “do” this because I have successfully kept secret a romantic relationship I am having for over a month, which is someone that the earlier, blabber-mouthed me would never have been able to accomplish. I think I’ve done well to become a perfectly private person, so much so that my secret lover thinks I’m “mysterious.”
I love it.

I really have trouble controlling my urge to say everything on my mind. It’s not like I want to be so private I’m a hermit! I just want to keep my business to myself and only really say it when and if someone ASKS!

feel the urge to spill my guts to people whether they are friends, strangers or semi-friends. I haven’t followed through at all except when I had a junkie moment (quitting smoking). I just don’t like talking about my private life with people yet I get the urge to. But I am happy about my progress.

I find myself speaking to eagerly and extensively about things I’d prefer I kept to myself. Some people are nosy and others not but either way I have trouble saying “I’d prefer not to say”.

I was JUST writing and telling a friend of mine about this site… and realized that I have a tendency to share way too much of my private life with far too many people.

I’m thinking that I’m going to just use this site to get myself kickstarted on some goals, then fade away.

I know I have a long way to go on a lot of things, and 43 things has already helped me get started. Interesting that one of my goals is to eventually leave it.

I’m a talker but I no longer divulge every damn boring detail about my life. I still talk to people about things we have in common but now I do so with some restaint. It feels pretty good.

I watched a movie about a stalker last night and read a similar story in Jane magazine and now I’m nervous about getting stalked.

I’ve begun with making my myspace and my livejournal “friends only.”
