When spreading fud (fear, uncertainty and doubt) people inevitably share information one can learn something useful from, and vice versa, when sharing information sometimes it feels like people are purely spreading fud.

What would be a good approach to share information with the team or colleagues at work without them feeling like you're fearmongering?

Generally, I like hearing information and judging for myself how relevant it is to me. On the other hand, I sometimes feel questioned at work for why I'm sharing information in the first place, as in, what am I trying to accomplish. If my goal is purely being a selective proxy for information I liked reading, how do I best phrase myself such that it comes out that way?
