Your Social Media Posts Say A Lot about you!

0 0

Halloo,

Whether you agree with the statement below or not, just know that if you don’t want to be known or associated with something don’t post it on social media.

Before I proceed further, can you please scroll back up and look at that statement again?

Thanks!

Now does it say your posts can give a full picture of who you are as a person?

NO!

Instead, it says your posts can say a lot about you! Not the same meaning in my opinion.

What I find is that a lot of people agree or disagree with the statement above without getting that part right.

Who really wants to form a full picture of anyone? Especially on social media? Certainly not me. I am not looking for best friends. I am looking for pages and posts that are really interesting, witty, original, informative, and positive.

And your posts will reveal this about you.

I make it a habit of following people who consistently post things I like to see. So if a person is random in their posts I click like on the one I like and move on. I don’t follow them.

I do this because when I open my page I don’t want to be confronted by profanity or negativity. Sometimes you see things on social media you really wished you hadn’t seen. If possible you will unsee them, but it is not.

Let me use myself as an example. I have a small business dealing in everything about  Natural Skincare, I love badass women, I live with fibromyalgia and chronic pain, I love nature, photography, self-care, and positive vibes.

I post regularly about these things. Some people find me a bit too much, I make no apology. This is me.

Do I have other interests that I don’t post about? OF COURSE!

I am an introvert, I hardly socialize. You can hardly tell this from my pages. But some really smart people can. I am a firm believer in sharing what I am comfortable with.

And I don’t expect anyone to form a full picture of me ( Even I am still finding a full picture of myself), but it will ridiculous of me to think that you don’t know anything about me from my posts on Social Media.

I know that a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that everything posted is a reflection of what the person is going through in their life. I completely disagree.

What you post reflects what you considered important, people can talk about marriage without having marital problems, but the mere fact that they hold marriage important.

When I see a page of someone who posts regularly on marriage. I can tell whether they have original thoughts on the matter, or religious point of view, how profound is their posts, how regular are they posting, is their message consistent!

I don’t need to know all aspects of their lives to make this conclusion.

We like to think we are mysterious and hard to read, but the reality is- we are not. We are mostly creatures of habit.

So to you, your random posts might be to confuse people,  to me, it’s simply a page with no originality and little influence, not something I care about really. I mean the mere fact that you consider it important to waste valuable time posting things to confuse people is revealing a lot about you.

That is why I think it is important not to get angry when you are ghosted on social media, maybe your contents just don’t do it for those who block you out.

It works both ways. If you can block someone out for not liking their posts so can other people who don’t like yours do too.

The more reason to post things that you like, not what you think people will like. That way like-minded people will find you and stay.

So let’s take a guy who likes taking pictures with gorgeous houses, expensive cars, at fancy restaurants, or flashing lots of cash in pictures. Many see fake life! But they will turn around and share that same post on their page, Why?

You still think social media posts don’t say a lot about a person?

Posting what you think people want to see or hear rather what you believe in.. tells its own story. That is why most can keep it up.

Many click like just to support their friends and family but to actually share a post or create a post yourself, it matters to you one way or another and it says something about you. You can deny it as much as you like.

I remember once posting about how fast I can change from a nice person to a bitch if someone accidentally touched the wrong button, it wasn’t a joke. I really don’t qualify as a nice person if your idea of a nice person is for me to roll over and welcome you every time you fuck up.

You must have me confused for someone else.

The simple fact is your posts reflect you and what you hold in your head.

The ease with which people share naked pictures and porn are alarming, yet they claim they only share it for entertainment. It’s all good once we agree that your entertainment idea differs from mine and instead of denying it, just embrace it as who you are. You might derive more joy from that.

I hardly expect anybody to approach me to write about politics. It is obvious I have zero interest in this space, my social media platforms, blogs, and website clearly show this. If someone does that I know they are simply wasting my time and clearly haven’t done their homework properly.

And many people do this!

I can tell if a person is an animal lover, a fascist, racist, a political idiot( no original thoughts, just propagating rubbish) and many more from their posts.

I can tell if someone is opinionated, fearless, have a dry sense of humour, adventurous, family oriented, focused, witty, intelligent, silly, or simply a wannabe.

I get contacted a lot by so-called social media experts, who claimed they can make my contents known to a wider audience.

I always go to check their pages, and most of the time I find dead pages with little or no interactions going on. Look out for posts with thousands of likes and 4 comments- dead give away in my opinion. Those are bought audiences.

Patterns don’t lie, darling. Even chaos has a pattern to it. Look closely you will find it.

For me, it is never a question of whether someone is nice or not. Fake or original. It is always about varieties of things.

Let’s not forget that there are people who don’t have any social media pages at all. You can hardly say you know anything about them.

It is like a police interrogation, you keep talking long enough, a profile of you can be built, those who keep mute are the ones that will be hard to read.

Tell me this-  If someone post child pornography on their social media page will you still be hanging around them saying their posts don’t say anything about who they really are? I think not.

Okay, maybe that example is a little extreme.

Your posts say a lot about you. Agree or Disagree? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
