Perhaps the hardest lesson to learn about any other person one is making a 'connection with' is how much information to share.
In this society today ~ far too many people think that it is ok to share another person's information they shared in a one on one convo ~ be it online/email/text or face to face (F2F).
When a person does that sort of behavior it makes it less likely that person will be trusted with much other information which in turn leaves the person who has misappropriated information from personal convos miserably alone and deeper and deeper into a world of bitter loneliness.
Now the person who was robbed of choosing who and when and where they wanted their info shared also learns some lessons of course.
In the end what is left is a fallout that did nothing to create an atmosphere that encouraged open personal growth and each person will now have to figure out how to adjust and live on without taking on the heavy baggage of hurts and suffering and pain.
When a private convo is shared with any others it is safe to say somethings from that moment will be lost when shared elsewhere and often is twisted according to the twisted repetition from the one repeating such. It becomes even more tragic when the person sharing say emails has changed the wording of said emails. THAT crosses the boundaries of innocent carelessness to deliberate intentions of ill will.
In gentler ways of living the people who have deliberate intentions of ill will are best left in the outer most circles until and unless their personal growth is demonstrated through changed behaviors.
