What do you think of the phrase A private life is a happy life?

I personally find it easier when I don't constantly show what I'm doing on social media becausei would be judged by people for whatever it is I am doing, good or bad. I don't want to constantly seek the acceptance or approval of others and I believe that when posting stuff on social media, I am asking for others to comment and like my photos ( giving me their approval).
I recently had a friend whose cousin asked her why she was ignoring her and my friend responded by saying that she wasn't ignoring her and so she asked her why she thought that way. Her cousin said " you don't like my photos or comment on them anymore". That is exactly what I want to avoid, to be so addicted to social media, to live my life through social media and just because she didn't like my photo think that she doesn't like me.

AGREE. Which is why I no longer use social media. I believe in evil eye. Its not just the best bits I don't post, its all of it. I realised that even what you think its not your best, someone out there is envious of you. I'm tired of it and don't see the point in sharing successes with people outside of those closest to me, who saw how hard I worked. I also don't tell people about any good/bad that befalls me - even family. I keep it between me and GOD. People get jealous of your achievements especially when its glamourised for social media and they don't get to see the struggle. I just found it pointless and that it gives you nothing but negative energy. A private life is a peaceful life.

[MusicMayhem]

I don't associate that phrase with social media. I see it as someone who lives a solitary life and doesn't go out and have friends and meet new people.

I don't agree with it because it's really sad. Social contact is really important to be happy and healthy. Living in loneliness is really depressing.

I dont need that much attention or validation that I have to post any and every aspect of my life online, that's screams major issues of insecurity.

If you're comfortable with who you are, you dont need anybody else's input to validate it.

Because you dont care what people think anymore. You dont have to prove to them that you’re living your best and happy life, bacause you really are.

The more you make your life private, the less toxic people, less drama, less people trying to butt in and ruin it.

[Mikecheck123]

Sure. But if you have mental problems or are facing depression it doesn't hurt to seek help. Likewise, If you are in a dangerous situation where you are facing pressure, don't hesitate to tell someone that cares about you.

[LizzyLuck]

I believe in being an open book., if someone asks I'll share. But I don't believe in sharing whatever just to add drama. I don't post things on social media or bring things up to others. If they know me enough to feel ok enough to ask then, sure, but that's it.

[starberryy]

the most liberating thing i ever do is tell people things i usually keep private and have them understand and comfort me where appropriate, so i don't agree with the phrase

[SirRexington]

I agree that we need to balance out social media presence with living in the moment.

I think it is cool that we can share our experiences though online.

[KittyWolf]

I agree entirely.

people won't butt in... Won't use things against u... U won't be hurt or offended... Less stress... More positive..

But always good to get professional help or a friend. Social medias, NO.

[Goodwifie]

Absolutely.
I never air my dirty laundry on facebook.

[Anonymous]

i agree. all the times i've had the most fun or had the best memories never made it to social media.
when you're in the moment and enjoying life, you forget to record it.

[Yawn_Yawn]

I have always told people that I may come across in public as a guy who is forgettable, but I have a private you'd tear your arm off for...

[Somegirl01]

Totally true! Not everyone has to know everything about you.

[becca_2833]

I think it's true , if you don't share your life info with people there won't be any drama , from it it people trying to help you on stuff

[Ariaö]

Not all private lives are happy lives! Sometimes those private lives are the ones that need the most help.

[Lance1965]

Very true. The less people know the happier you will be.

[NikewithanM]

Yes, always! If you tell everyone about your best bits.. they go away and come back as a different perspective to you

[Mlxrom]

You should keep your stuff with and for you always.

[maggiecaitlin93]

I agree. Not everyone needs to know every thing about your life.

[strangerthings1]
