I am a type of person who's happy about not sharing about me on social media. I have an account on all the existing platforms and seldom post anything about 'ME'. You will find pictures of food, books and movies on my social media(SM) handles than my face. I like expressing myself through words rather than pictures or videos. By now, all of you would have read tons of articles about how social media is ruining childhood of Gen Z. I am here to add a few more lines about that.
Stop Over sharing
Not everyone needs to know what you're doing at all times. Thinking that sharing where you're going would earn you extra credits or make others jealous. Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Nobody gives a damn. Also, the posts that you find on Instagram with hashtag #iwokeuplikethis is never true. Nobody wakes up with hair so neatly ironed or curled in the morning. Have a look at yourself in the front camera of your phone for a morning (since, its the new mirror) and then you'd realize that everyone is gonna look like they experienced a horror movie. I have tons of such examples to give and criticize how you post on SMs (esp. filters. Ugh!). I feel that your SMs should reflect who you are, rather than a perception of what others think about you. If you are not comfortable with sharing something, don't share. If someone criticizes of what and how you're posting something, try explaining it to them in case you think they are worth your time and explanation. Otherwise, DON'T.
ALWAYS, YOU BE YOU!
Bon Nuit!
S.
