• You make yourself vulnerable.
• You let people know more about you than perhaps you really should.
• You could find yourself facing bizarre questions or comments from colleagues.
• You question your sanity.
• You may experience regret.
• You get feedback.

But each of these downsides has an upside:

• You make yourself vulnerable and thus open to real human interaction.
• You let people know more about you than perhaps you really should and therefore become honest with those around you.
• You could find yourself facing bizarre questions or comments from colleagues, so you learn to handle yourself with grace.
• You question your sanity and realize that you’re not insane after all.
• You may experience regret, but it usually passes quickly.
• You get feedback, which is what you want after all!
