How do you manage this media world?

[Justneedtokno]

At this point in time the world is up close and personal with even physically knowing you.
How do you manage being apart of without displaying your whoa self? Or is that the idea be your whole (putting yourself out there) other will follow.

I still have morals and values and I still don’t want my family to know everything or be disappointed.

You know how there are things that you’re comfortable with talking about in front of friends and certain people but other things not so much with your family even though I’m grown it doesn’t feel right.

Also I am 27 so for a good Period of my life I did not have regular social media or phone and all of that. So I can easily leave my phone at home I still have a landline for nostalgia

I try to balance.
I don't put my whole name here.
If you ever post nudes anywhere it's best to leave your face out of the picture, unless you feel you're absolutely comfortable with anyone and everyone seeing you nude forever from co-workers to family etc.
Don't send people money, and try not to personal message with anonymous people who could be anyone. Also remember that your personal messages on social media apps like this and others are never really personal.

I don't think you should ever worry about disappointing your family. Only worry about disappointing yourself.

Thanks for the MHO.

I never use socials... never had them

my friends and family, everyone in my "real life world" do not have an idea that I have a G@G account lol, and I will keep it that way

I do like to know people from all over and around the world... and I like to have the chance to know how they are, even if I do not know who they really are... that has always been quite interesting to me

there is a few people here in G@G that know very personal things about me, and I also post very personal things about me and my life as well... some of those things are things that others in my life might not know or be aware of, just few things though

being anonymous in a way, gives me room and flexibility to share things with people, things that I would normally not share or talk about in public... for example my relationships with my ex girlfriends or with my best friends, my family and when/if I do that is to share some perspective on the many matters discussed in this forum

I am not active on any kind of social media that much. Only this one.
I have turned off all the notifications in my smartphone.
I activate DND when am really studying.

I have gotten myself a Kindle to have a distraction free reading experience. Of course you can say that the paperback book can also work, but it takes a lot of space to be honest. I have already got a cupboard full of books.

I am literally not active on any WhatsApp groups as I do not care for them. Honestly.

This is how I am handling the media.

I did not use media growing up I’ve been using my phone for a few years —honestly I think SM can be great but the way it is used skies keep physically sick and I feel like I’m just starting out if am lucky enough to live a long life I have to deal with morphs like this for years and years to come. I don't know what bothers me more how idiotic mist of the content is or the fact people eat it up. Prob an even tie.

I don’t post anything online except for a veiled pic here and there on small sites like this where i know a bunch of people and it feels weird If there is absolutely no visual at all but overall I don’t post personal stuff.

id be mortified if friends or work or my family saw anything personal.

The key for me, is to understand that there is NO privacy on the internet! Certain info, like your last name, address, phone number, workplace address, etc. should not be shared online in the very vast majority of cases.

Overall i'm quite loose on the internet, im not too overly tightly wound up about sharing info about myself, because I know what key information not to mention.

Loosen up and have some fun! Just keep the above info private. :-D

i don't watch tv anymore and what i see on social media and the internet just makes me laugh. makes me feel that i live in a world full of deluded morons who'll believe litterally everything they're told.
