I don't believe in it and if a person has to call up just to stir up things, I am glad I am in a position to handle it than hide.

I remember early Facebook days and so many status updates that I made. I guess I used it like the Whatsapp Status update initially, gradually I lost interest even there. I trust Insta for one reason, there is very less negativity and that makes me trust this environment more. Somehow I don't feel convenient sharing much on FB nowadays. More of Stalking and less of talking. When I broke up for the first time, the pain was truly self-inflicted. I am glad I never shared it online because I never felt like it. When Love happened all by itself, it was evident and that's when I found who my real well-wishers were. I don't believe in sharing much of my photos with hubby online except for the wedding and reception snap. I keep it to my friends and family. There are people who have changed profiles and also deleted photos like you said. Somehow that peace doesn't last long unless they deal with it real time. After reading this post, I actually realized something from my past. It happened and I am glad it happened because it made me who I am today inspite of the scars.

They put up a picture with a loved one and as soon as the relationship ends, they are left wondering what to do. I find social media posts and updates to be very fake these days.

I know of a friend who has retired into her shell after a breakup because she is ashamed of what the world will think of her. And the comparison thing is so so true. We mostly tend to share our moments of happiness online with our friends and they have no idea of what our struggles are. So people end up thinking that we are enjoying life to the fullest while they are burdened with the pressures of life. I wish everyone understood that if people started sharing their everyday struggles and sorrows, social media will no longer be a place they would want to go back to. As for pictures of children, I am guilty of having shared quite a few of them earlier. Now I have cut down after reading so much about identity theft and having experienced it first hand.

It was a part of our journey, some lessons we learnt are thanks to that past. We ought to accept it and be proud we came out of it in one piece, stronger and a better person!

We don't have to go all lovey dovey and post too many pictures of our significant other and kids. I have cut back a lot. And thankfully when I got on social media or blogging, I was already married with kids. So no such dilemmas of any content related to exes. But in my life, I just moved on and I didn't even add them on my FB profile or stayed in touch with them. I felt that best for myself. I guess a person's comfort level about public sharing of private heartbreaks depends on what they feel personally and also the comfort level of their partners. In my opinion, to each their own.Rachnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275266551382931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140698802730756464.post-8737904340460225862017-11-16T14:14:26.109+05:302017-11-16T14:14:26.109+05:30Completely agree.

I think social media, with all it's advantages, has now also become a place to show off one's 'love' and it makes me wonder, if it's the love people are talking about or the attention on social media. And yes, being comfortable with oneself is very important for being secure in the future.Nabanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958307546734785806noreply@blogger.com
