I think that it is interesting because although people are willing to discuss the question at hand, this clear lack of sharing indicates that they do not seem to think it is worth talking about with their friends. Like "Yes I'll bite, but maybe it's just because I'm bored and need something to do, not because this is necessarily the most interesting investment of my time, and as a result I'm not going to share this thread." That's kind of how I see it, less about approval but more about quality of content. People may post on it because it's something to do but opt not to share it because they don't necessarily think it is something everyone wants to do, or so on.
I think that people don't share it because they have similar sentiments to those that have been expressed here. They think that this is a topic that is wrong for hubski and to personal I guess.
I don't think it's the too personal thing. You haven't been around but we share a lot of personal stuff on Hubski: - kb tells us about his daughter - Bfx tells us about getting dumped - tng tells us about HIS amazing story - I'd link to you to my own #askhubski about my brother and assholes, but I can't find it. here ya go We do share personal things here. I think they just have to be the right personal things. There's been plenty of personal #askhubskis. I think #askhubskis are more successful when the OP has been established on Hubski for a while - when users know and care about the OP.
I guess it's too personal too soon then. Reddit is about the fact that you are anonymous and is a lot about sharing things early so I could get why redditors show up and asks these kinds of things. Here it's more like an actual relationship, you don't start out with the heavy questions.
Here is a better link to the event that _ref_ is referring to regarding me. It was pretty scarring, but also pretty amazing.
Aww. Atticus is a bad-ass name and your son is adorable. Thanks for sharing!
