What's the real reason you aren't on Social Media heavy?

[WheatThins]

i have a pretty decent social media following, to promote my craft and work mostly

other than that im pretty "mysterious" on social media

i like to us fb to find events/parties, but i dont really post or like other people's thing. social media is great to find out about other people's things/events, but i dont share too much outside of professional accomplishments/art

This right here. Someone says something so stupid you almost have to say something. If you do 10 other stupid people show up and make you out to be the bad guy.

I've got unfriended by quite a few people I actually know.

I just decided to keep my nose clean and stay away.

#1. I don't own a SmartPhone.

#2. I'm an Introvert.

#3. My business is none of YOUR damned business.

that's what I miss the most. Especially those college parties.

I went on one random ass day and managed to catch the date for my class reunion.

I'm on it enough. I'm more of a "mind my business" type of person anyways. if you've got questions for me, I'm always honest. but rarely am I running off at the mouth.

I'm not on social media heavy because I don't have anything to bring that's worthy of views in my opinion. I don't display myself, take pictures or show off the places I've been, the chicks I've been with or the shyt that I've done 'cause it's all personal shyt that I wanna keep personal. If you know me and heard about it or I told you bits of it, oh well, but to put it out there for errybody like that? Nah.

Even if I were eye candy, with this mindset, I'd prolly stay off that shyt. Short of becoming technically proficient in an Instrument, or creating a persona for a travel channel, comedy/skit routine or garnering some 15 minutes of fame off of some random occurrence that went viral, I'm off that shyt and loving every minute of it.

I use to be on twitter heavy until I got banned, probably my favorite social media platform. Mostly cuz there's more opportunity to be witty, and I think I'm hilarious. I actually had a half decent following on there.

Instagram, not really on it like that I just follow a lot of people. Don't necessarily upload a lot of pics cuz all I do is go to work and go to the gym. Most of both I don't really broadcast like that, but that night change cuz I'm getting swole and I want to stunt

I use snap to keep up with my real life friends.


That's about it.

U was the man on twitter

yeah i like fb events, great way to find interesting things and just meet random people with little pressure/commitment

 

[VertigoKnight]

I only really post anything usually a picture if I get to do something nice so my fam and close friends can see it. As I no longer live in the country I was born in.

Outside of that. I just feel it's a bit too boastful and tacky to be flaunting your lifestyle on social media. I know what I have I don't need to show everything to other people for validation.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I just don't get it.

I'm a pretty private person by nature.

And I doubt that anyone would give a fukk that I'm having lunch somewhere so why snapchat it?

 

[tater]

I don't see it as avoidant or anti social. I like to talk to people in person or hear their voices. I'm not even big on texting either.

I value my privacy, people don't need to know everything going on in my life. The people I value, I keep in touch with and vice versa. Sure I've missed out on connections and events, but . I think social media is too intrusive. I also find it interesting that the more we are connected the more we seem disconnected. I hate that I go out and everyone is stuck on their phone. It's everywhere. Entire families out, children ignored, and the parents are stuck on social media.

It's sad. Yes it can be used in moderation but it's not for me. I had a MySpace in high school and deleted it then too. And no, I wasn't some social pariah. I was fairly popular...

I also HATE when I go out with people and they're constantly snapping pictures and are on their phones. Me not having social media makes it easier for me to avoid these people. I just want people to know me and not a facade. I think it's easy to get sucked into it. I can make a page and have you thinking I was jet setting and living a super dope life. The truth is, I'm broke, in school, shop at the thrift store, and am cheap as hell. But I travel for the low, stay in hostels, eat good food, and have decent clothes (used)...so yeah lol.

I firmly believe there are people you weren't meant to keep in touch with, they're fairweathers. I keep them that way. I see social medias value dependent on your industry, but I'm not in those industries.

Also I hate taking pictures of myself.

Prism.

It never really appealed to me. Guess cause I’m mostly a introvert. Also majority of what you can do on it can be done without it. I really wish we’d tone it down a bit cause it fukking us over as a species quickly.

I enjoyed facebook when I was a bit younger. Mostly the games.

I was put off first by the games coz some of them have a video calling feature. And there were mostly men making calls and next thing you know some lunatic pulls out his dikk......

I changed my gaming profile to state that i was not looking for sex or any kind of relationship. But it never stopped. And got tired of reporting other users.

It was mostly Indian men doing this.

I eventually lost interest. And never bothered with other social media sites.

If I got any kind of pleasure from the exposure Id be on there 24/7 but I dont feel the joy from constant likes/validation.

If I can wean myself from the coli I'll be good. But its just so hillarious and occasionally informative and uplifting.
