Prompt 1:
For me I don’t post a lot on to Facebook or any of the
other various social media apps. I find that sometimes social media is used in improper
ways to spread gossip and things about people. I think some also use it for a
way to hide their true situations. When I first started with Facebook, I would
post like daily on them spreading my personal life and verbalizing really things
that should not always be known to the public. Now, I as stated above rarely
use any one of them. I could never get into twitter at all because of the
character limits and I never seemed to understand it. I have since my divorce gone
back and pretty much scrubbed my Facebook and shut down everything else. I even
made a separate one for my personal life and my school/professional life.
Prompt 2:
Social media and self-expression – I feel this is more of a
personal preference depending on you are using it and what you are sharing on
it.
Selfies – I don’t really care for selfies myself because
everyone always seems to suddenly gain duck mouth with try to take a selfie and
it always 9 times out of 10 looks fake to me.
Online image – I am unsure as to what you are referencing to
just by online image to be honest. I would assume you mean by sharing pictures and
information on social media. I do this myself sometimes just to share certain
experiences with those that I feel would find the same interest or enjoyment
out of the post.
Rules/criteria for posting – I feel that there should be
some rules or criteria to what is posted on social media, because if it is
something that is going to hurt someone else then I don’t feel it is appropriate.
Comparing yourself to others – I have an issue with this
sometimes because when you are always comparing yourself to others it can
damage your own self value and worth to where it can make a drastic change in
someone life or even your own.
Quitting social media? – I have actually quit social media
for some time and just stayed away from it because I did not care for all of
the posts and information being shared, such as during the elections and major
events. I find it is better for my sanity to stay away during some of these
times.
I see you have seen my daughter's selfies and those of her friends too. They are queen's of the duck lips and and the "Insta influencer" pose.
