There are no good ways to say certain things

Yes there's no good way to say certain things. Or should I say inform the world at large about certain kinds of events/things

Especially if those are NOT really the most cheerful of things.  It might be easier to inform people about happier things. Even if one is an incorrigible introvert. After all, most good things in the world are also capturable on a camera. So lets say you have got engaged or got married, even if you are not the kind wanting to broadcast that to everyone in the world, a simple photo on facebook/instagram/whatsapp might do the trick of keeping most people informed.

Not so easy if you want to communicate about the not so great things that are going on ( like lets say the opposite of the above example?--- surely cant have a photo to capture that !)

This is the "how to share" bit of the question. 

Then there's the question of the audience. The "whom to share with" bit of the question. 

Even if its more positive sounding stuff, there's that thing of course, but even more pronounced if its not so cheerful stuff. After all, human tendency and even social norms makes it easier to share more cheerful stuff with a wider audience. And a tendency to be much more circumspect in sharing less cheerful stuff.

There are of course the closest of close friends, the kinds you can call up at the middle of the night. And with whom you can discuss just about anything. But beyond that, its a bit hazy. There are friends with whom maybe you have lost more than a little bit of touch.  There are friends may be with whom your interactions are usually limited on certain common areas of interest. 

Then there's the "how much to share with" bit of the question.  How much information is "too much information" ? This is probably a little bit more easier to exercise judgement on, once you have figured out the other parts of the question.

Beyond all this, ofcourse there is the "why to share" question in itself !!

Maybe, like with a lot of other things, I over think all this stuff and am approaching it in a Sheldon-esque sort of way.

Probably

Maybe that's why here I am writing a blogpost here "sharing" things without really "sharing" anything!
