Want to share an update? How do you feel?
What’s happening? Are you at XYZ Restaurant/Bar/Club?
These are questions that we see every time we open up
our Social Media Apps. We’re encouraged to share
our innermost thoughts and feelings with all of our
friends. Unfortunately, over sharing is a very real thing
on Social Media sites. Maybe you’re just frustrating a
friend with a rant or 1 more picture of Fluffy the
cat licking her paws in the most absurd place in your home.
Maybe you’re talking about the people that frustrate you most.
I often look at posts and preface what someone is saying
with, “Dear Public Diary,”. While it may be fun or freeing to
say what we feel and have other people validate it or even
argue it, sometimes over sharing can cost you a relationship or
even a job. A job????? Don’t believe it? Well check out the link
below from People.com about 20 people that lost their jobs
over Social Media posts:
