I am so mad. Why do people who you supposed should be able to trust with your stuff have to go and blab your crap around?
And yes D is nothing to be ashamed about and I am not but they are still MY health problems and I would like to elect to tell who I want and when I want.
Speaking of my mom here, not that she hasn't got her own health problems, why can't see just talk about those? No, she has to blab to people about my health problems including someone from my past that I didn't want to know about it and want nothing to with anymore- who is a big gossip and I am sure will go and tell about 50 people. (Turns out this person from my past ALSO now has D - not that it was a suprise to me but I still don't want anything to do with them anymore)
Grr. Why do people do this? Is it that they want attention and can't find another way to bring it to themselves than telling about people problems that they didn't ask permission to tell about?
Anyone else have to deal with this? I am sure I am not the only one.
I feel like I am only person left in the world who values others privacy doesn't go around telling anyone elses private business. Unless people tell me otherwise, I keep those secrets to myself because who knows if they want others to know about them, right?
I wonder if this is how movie stars feel when their problems end up all over papers. (ok yeah I know i am not a movie star but still):(
*Seethe* (trying not to stay mad or my BG will go up!)
I actually think it’s funny when movie stars post all over twitter and facebook and then wonder why everyone knows their business. I can understand your dismay about your mother talking about your private business to other people. On the other hand there are 15,000 of us on here who know all about your diabetes too…
Yes, true. But it is different for here because I went and put it up on here of my own accord - I wanted people to know about it on here so I could have people to talk to about it. It is me here typing out about my D. But this other person that my mom told, she and I had a falling out several years ago and my mom knows we are not friends anymore and I don’t want her knowing my business.
There is a big difference between yourself telling other people your problems and someone else telling them to someone.
I don’t mind family knowing but this person is not family and my mom knows we are not friend anymore. I mean, even not all of my “real” friends now about it - I want to tell them in my due time.
Same thing with my ex - he went and blabbed about my problems to people that I am not close with and I told him not to tell anyone (I was diagnosed when with my ex so of course he knew) and I know he has and he knows how I feel about it.
It is like - OK, it is MY diabetes but I don’t even get to tell the people I want about it. Even worse, than the D, is people you trust blabbing other personal health issues about myself like women issues - Sorry, but I don’t want all my ex’s male friends knowing about that stuff, you know. Maybe men just don’t realize how women often like to keep their women things private you know? Sometimes it seems like only a way to get attention for them (at with my ex - he always wants to tell stories and be the center of attention and what better way to do that right than to air my personal health problems around right that I told him to keep his mouth shut about? ugh)
