近日，#别把聊天截图发给你朋友好吗# 这一话题冲上热搜，引发了一场关于隐私、信任与社交礼仪的大讨论。

The hashtag quickly gained traction on social media, exposing sharply divided opinions. Some users viewed sharing chat screenshots as a breach of trust, arguing that private conversations carry an expectation of confidentiality. Others consider it harmless among close friends, saying intent and context matter more than rigid rules. A third group pointed out another concern: accidentally sending a screenshot to the wrong person — an online mishap often described as instant "social death".

网友们的激烈讨论，恰恰折射出面临的社交困境：人人皆是“自媒体”的时代，聊天记录似乎成了新型“社交货币”。

然而“分享欲”的界限究竟在哪？看似无害的截图分享，到底会加固友情，还是先导致信任崩塌？

分享聊天记录截图是何种心理？

这背后远不止是分享习惯的差异，或是“该不该发”的对错之争，更是一场关于数字时代隐私边界的博弈。

根据社会学家桑德拉·佩特罗尼奥（Sandra Petronio）的沟通隐私管理理论（Communication Privacy Management Theory），我们对私人信息都划有看不见的“边界”。

一次倾诉，就是邀请对方进入边界内，并默认规则是“保密”。而未经同意的截图转发，就像单方面撕毁了这份边界契约。

Scholars say the debate reflects differing understandings of privacy boundaries. Sociologist Sandra Petronio notes that sharing personal information usually implies discretion, and forwarding messages without consent may be seen as a violation of that trust.

支持者认为分享是规则之内，而“发错人”则造成了最彻底的边界崩溃，让隐私直接暴露在错误观众面前。
