Is there something wrong with being private?

[B_nash]

I live a very sheltered life because I’m comfortable this way. I been through abuse and trauma so much to even not standing up to bullies. I decided to let go of toxic family, relationships, and keep the decision to not make any friends. I went through situations where people take things from me and turn it around on me making me seem jealous. I’m happier by myself in life. I’m a introvert and wanna move through life without being pushed into different areas to make others happy. I don’t dwell on the past but I don’t want any problems. I have dealt with people expecting me to prove my life to them. Ex friends would ask me “send me a picture of your boyfriend”. They would flood my phone with pictures of their boyfriends/husbands. I am camera shy and not a social media person at all. I don’t feel comfortable living my life to prove to others that it exist at all. Ex friends would quiz me on my love life or my life period. I’m basically a loner and not a person that uses social media. I just wanna live my life without having to prove to people this is my life. People have this theory about me that I have to prove my life to them via social media, or video chat or I’m not real. I have been called fake by people because I choose to remain sheltered. People seen me in person and wanted to become my friend after seeing me. This was after they called me fake on social media. I let go a guy who caused me drama. I let go of everything because I’m not proving anything to anybody. This is my life and if I don’t wanna document my life so be it. I had people stealing my photos cat fishing people with it. I don’t put anything realistic on my Facebook. I basically lived my life as a ghost. I don’t want the attention and I don’t want to be found. I’m not tagged in photos on social media. I’m just very private.

No.

Nothing at all.

The world is being led to document and advertise every little detail of our lives on the Social Medias.

Everybody follows nobodies who gives themselves a title of the celebrity. The masses follow said celebrity and idolizes them like the brainwashed sheep that they're.

Leave them be. You're doing nothing wrong.

Followers/likes/subscribers/thumbs up etc. mean nothing. Where does it get you in life? Nowhere.

They make out their lives are so busy and wonderful yet they're boring as boring can be.

They're the ones waiting for you to slip up, do something, say something just to bring some excitement into their boring lives.

You being private as you're doesn't make you any less of a person.

Stay strong, stay focused and fulfil your purpose that you set out to do.

Same with me, people suck, especially those who chase after an "adventurous life".

i relate to everything in this post and actually read all of it. i got to admit to myself that it is wrong in the sense that i am trapping myself in the darkness, i don't want to be the way i am, but i am the person that i am and have no way of getting out of this perpetual behavior. i am a likeable person but nobody ever gets too close because i control that, i don't want to be lonely, but i want to be alone. my issue always was that i felt a lot of shame for being the way i am, i think that if we acknowledge our faults while realizing our worth as a human being, we can at least find peace in who we are therefore be able to find peace in who we are not

You are very smart. Your mind is great. I hope you do not feel any shame for this anymore.

everyone treats you like a criminal if you insist on your privacy

if you go into a place and they ask for your drivers license or something, take it out and say, "let me see your license and i'll let you see mine"
