Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

The golden rule of information sharing on the internet is: What would happen if someone saw this who wanted to hurt me?

Do not post photos that include any kind of background clutter, like a messy desk full of papers or a bathroom mirror selfie with prescription pill bottles visible - crop or edit that stuff out, and do it on a separate editing application from the site you upload to (there have been security issues on some sites where uncropped photos have been accessible). These items can contain personal info like your name and address. Carefully review any photos you post for this kind of identifying info. Other possible identifiers include mail and shipping labels on packaging, local newspapers or magazines, memos and other materials from work or school, open browser tabs on screenshots, etc.

Avoid posting your email or private messaging handles publicly. Scammers can use these to send you phishing links or malware. Only share that info with people you trust. Review all messages you receive carefully to make sure the sender is who you think it is, and don't click any link unless you know that the URL leads somewhere trustworthy. Make sure to hover over links before clicking to make sure the address matches where the link says it goes. Don't download anything from anyone unless you are POSITIVE they are trustworthy (i.e. you are the one who contacted them first, you know them in real life, you have been friends for a long time, etc).

Give as few details as possible about your personal life and family. Don't share your full name, and don't even share the first names of your family and friends. Don't mention where you go to college, even if it's a large university. Don't say where you work, even if it's a national chain. Obscure these details by being vague - just say "my friend" instead of using someone's name, or use a fake name.

Thank you, @afflatuslux , for the comm!
