Hi Everyone, welcome back. I am Roslyn Saunders, Co-dependency and Addiction Coach Specialist.
Good morning, everyone. Today, we’re continuing with the theme of codependency at work, and today’s topic is: Please, please don’t overshare your personal life at work.
Try to keep it private, especially when you’re starting a new role or joining a new company. I try to keep my personal life separate from work, especially for a while, and even ongoing. Trust me, I’ve overshared before, and then everyone knew my business.
People can form perceptions about you based on what’s going on in your personal life. Please pull back from that and only share what’s absolutely necessary.
I have a friend who recently started a new role, and she’s been working very diligently.
She was so excited to tell me that no one at her new job knows anything about her personal life. It’s a whole new group of people, and she felt empowered by this. For her, it was the opposite of my experience, where everyone knew my business and likely talked about it, forming opinions about my life.
So please, reduce the sharing of your personal life in your work environment.
Thank you, and I hope that helps.
