⚠️Implications of Oversharing on Social Media⚠️ I want to dive a bit deeper into something that’s been weighing on my heart: the implications of oversharing on social media. It’s so easy to get caught up in the moment and share everything, but let’s take a step back and think about what that really means for us. 🤔 When we showcase all our “dirty laundry” online—no filter, no boundaries—it can feel like we’re laying our lives bare for everyone to see. Sure, being open and honest is important, but when we share everything, we risk losing that element of surprise and intimacy in our lives. It’s like we’ve become too familiar, and suddenly, our lives feel like an open book. 📖 Here’s the thing: when we’re constantly thinking about what our audience will think, it can feel like we’re living in a real-life Big Brother scenario. It’s exhausting! We start to shape our lives around the expectations of others rather than living authentically for ourselves. That pressure can weigh heavily on our mental health, leaving us feeling drained and anxious. 😩 Remember, it’s okay to keep some things just for you. Your life is yours to live, not a performance for an audience. It’s perfectly fine to have moments that are private, sacred, and just for you and your loved ones. 💖 So, let’s encourage each other to find that balance. Share the joy, the laughter, and the beautiful moments, but don’t forget to cherish the quiet, personal times too. You deserve to live a life that feels true to you, free from the shadows of what others might think. 🌟 Take care of yourselves, and remember: you are enough just as you are, with or without the likes and comments. 💪✨ https://image.nostr.build/98f1ce4ee4addf07eee324e2e8b4b8170ab46423039685f37e161eb650940547.jpg #privacy #healthyboundaries #boundaries #mentalhealth #asknostr #grownostr #nature #photostr #lifecoach #lifelessons Cheers, M💋
Most people seek validation
indeed — so true. Seeking validation is not always a negative thing. It depends how you are using it. Eg. If you have new products or services, you need it to be validated by your target audience. However, what we mostly see from social media, they use validation as a means to dictate their lives. A little of everything is ok, until it becomes an addiction. 😔
