      never felt like I needed to post my life for the whole world to see

      As he posts a story from his life 🙄

      Dude is so oblivious and arrogant. He barely knows her and is already judging, thankfully smart girl saw the signs and dodged a bullet. It’s rare for greentext to have a happy ending.

        damn bro, no need to get up in arms about it. Everybody judges everybody all the time, just a reality of life. She’s judging him, he’s judging her, I’m judging you right now, you’re going to be judging me when you read this, and on it goes.

    Solution: make a social media with one crappy low-res picture of your face, one crappy low-res full body shot of you engaging in a hobby you can talk intelligently about and a couple stock photos of sunsets and other nature pics. Caption all of the nature pics with some variation of “I’m practicing gratitude today! I’m so grateful to the universe for waking up this morning!” You have now revealed nothing they didn’t know already, and have a “social media presence” that appears positive and emotionally well-adjusted to normies. You’re welcome.

        I said what normies will perceive not what is actually true. Although I will mention that gratitude is actually clinically proven to improve quality of life, but people also tend to frequently confuse it with toxic positivity. The example I have above is technically toxic positivity, but you’re doing little enough of it that the cost benefit analysis works out.

    I know this is likely fake, but I have gotten that reaction from people. Folks really find it strange when you don’t have social media. The times it really sucks is when they think you’re lying and just don’t want to add them.
