Do you talk about SE ? - EquitableEngineer - 02-25-2023

I am wondering what you guys view is on talking about your SE exploits with others who are not active SEr's themselves. I am going to assume that some of you live a double life in that regard, I am interested to know how much if any others share outside the community.

I do not share the full extent of what I do currently.
I used to share information about reselling items back when I was very broke, young and dumb, which was part of my humbling background and story, but I realized it was oversharing and made some people uncomfortable.
Talking about SEing in one's past can have negative social consequences. Firstly, it can damage one's reputation and lead to mistrust, as it suggests that the individual may have a tendency to engage in dishonest behavior. Secondly, it can have legal implications if the SE was serious enough to result in criminal charges. Finally, it can also cause discomfort or distress to those who may have been victims of theft in the past. Since it's general corporations, this isn't too much of an issue but there are still people who bootlick conglomerates. Therefore, it is generally advisable to avoid discussing SE in one's past unless it is absolutely necessary or relevant to a specific situation.

There was a thread on here about sharing with spouse / sig other, and at the time I said I would never do that. Since then, my sig. other has been told about it and they love it. Only person I've told.

Can see def how it could bring you closer. For others it could destroy the relationship.
