can people tell if it's a private story

Yes, sometimes people can tell. For example, if the story involves very personal details like family secrets, deeply hidden emotions or specific events that are not usually shared publicly. Also, the way a person tells the story, with hesitation or a sense of secrecy, can give clues that it's a private story.

It depends. Some private stories have obvious signs. If it's about something that is usually kept within a small, intimate circle like a personal medical issue or a relationship problem that one wouldn't want to be widely known. But other times, people might be good at disguising a private story as just a general anecdote. There are also cultural differences. In some cultures, certain topics are considered more private than in others, so it can be hard to tell if it's a private story without knowing the cultural context.

It depends. Some private stories have obvious signs, but others can be quite well-hidden and hard to detect.

Yes, they can. A person who is being very cautious with their words, perhaps using a lot of euphemisms or being deliberately vague about certain parts of the story, could be indicating that it's private. For example, instead of saying the exact name of a person involved in a personal conflict, they might say 'a friend' or 'someone I know'. This can be a giveaway that the story is private.

Often, yes. In a social gathering, if someone is whispering or seems hesitant to share in a larger group, it might be a private story. Also, if the content is something that would be embarrassing or inappropriate to share widely, like a drunken mishap that only close friends should know about, it's likely a private story.

No, generally people cannot tell that you are in a private story. Private stories are designed to be exclusive and only accessible to those you've chosen, so others have no way of knowing just by looking that you are part of one.

In most cases, people cannot tell that you have sent a private story. Private stories are designed to be only viewable by selected individuals or groups, and the platform usually takes measures to ensure privacy. So, as long as the system works as intended, it should remain private.

It's hard to say for sure. A lot of factors come into play. How you handle the situation, who's involved, and the nature of the story itself can all affect whether people can tell or not.

It's a tricky one. People might be able to tell if there are obvious indicators or if you accidentally let something slip. But if you keep it under wraps well, they might remain clueless.

Definitely not. The privacy settings are there to protect the confidentiality of who is in the private story. If others could see who was in it, it wouldn't be very private, right? So, only the creator and the people added to the private story are aware of who is in it.
