Here are a few reasons why I made the change and how I did it:. Like I mentioned earlier, my Instagram feed used to be overly important to me. I would spend hours, sometimes days, obsessing over which photos to post and when so that my page had a cohesive look and feel. I would take the time to crop photos into perfect white frames and edit a photo to the point that it was overly filtered.
It was such a waste of time as I realized posting one highly edited image did not get me anymore likes than a candid did. So what did I do about it? I deleted all of my pictures and gave myself a blank page. I decided to focus on posting images that make me happy, without giving a second glance to how my page looks aesthetically. Social media can be such a competitive space these days. Who can even afford these lifestyles?
When I realized just how ridden my feed was with photos and captions like these, I realized I had a problem. Hey, I travel! So why follow accounts that promoted these things? And since then? Goodbye toxic accounts! Hello accounts that make me feel good about myself! Social media is for connection and community. Sure, brands will use these platforms to advertise their goods and services to make sales; heck, my job is in digital marketing!
I've been guilty of this myself a few times, but I try not to do it. Someone posts something you disagree with, you reply, someone else replies, and the next thing you know, it's a thread free-for-all. Just calmly post why you disagree and then move on. You check someone's wall at least once a day. Whether it's your spouse, friend, former friend, ex, or boss, if you are checking someone's wall every day, especially if you are looking for something negative, you need to reconsider why you are doing this and if it's healthy.
Judging people based on Facebook. I've been guilty of this one too. There is someone I think is interesting and whom I might like to meet in real life, but then that person's updates begin annoying me, so I dismiss the idea of real world friendship.
A person is not the sum total of their FB posts. Unless their posts are truly wacky, then steer clear. You email anyone about Facebook. If you are set to send someone a private email based on something that person posted, sit on it for at least 24 hours. Personally, I think any time you are tempted to email someone about what you see in their feed unless that person seems depressed or suicidal and you want to reach out or you are answering a query, say, from someone looking for an apartment , you are taking FB too personally.
Here are 7 signs you are taking Facebook too seriously. Have you ever taken Facebook too personally? From The Web Ads by Revcontent. Share Via. Hindustan Times By Fake Jhunjhunwala. You feel deeply offended when someone does not 'LIKE' your Facebook status - You think all day trying to come up with something cool to say and finally when you post it on your fb wall and no one likes it you start acting like a total NOOB.
Refuse to take part in an anti-corruption campaign unless it has an online social profile like an fb wall or a twitter account - Take this a step further and individually check out all those people who 'LIKED' Anna Hazare's anti corruption movement on facebook and then see if those same people showed up at the Ramlila Maidan to support Anna's fast and if the numbers don't tally then sue all the people who only liked the movement on fb but didn't actually show up.
Get into a relationship only so that you can change your relationship status from 'Single' to 'Is In a Relationship' on your social page. Similarly, eagerly look forward to getting divorced so that you can change your relationship state from ' Married' to 'Divorced'. Show up at a celeb's home and argue with the security guards demanding to be allowed to meet them and explain that you "Know" them very well because you follow them on twitter.
