Why are some thoughts considered private?
* Privacy: We often have a desire to keep our thoughts private, especially if they are sensitive or personal.
* Self-reflection: Private thoughts can help us understand ourselves better.
* Emotional regulation: Sometimes, keeping thoughts private can help us process our emotions.
* Social norms: Some thoughts are considered taboo or inappropriate to share in public.
Note: The line between private and public thoughts can be blurry. We may choose to share some of our private thoughts with trusted friends or family members. However, there are also thoughts that we may never share with anyone.
