Tell your life without exposing other people

Every autobiography involves other people. A simple rule: tell your inner experience and your decisions; minimize identifying details and secrets that aren’t yours.

Techniques

• Use roles (“a friend”, “my manager”) if the name adds nothing.
• Focus on what you felt and chose.
• Ask consent before a sensitive publishable anecdote.
• Keep the chapter private while someone is recognizable and vulnerable.

Visibility

LifArcs lets you keep one block private while publishing the rest. That isn’t censorship — it’s respect. A dignified Arc also protects people who crossed your path.
