I rarely post. Because it’s all too much

like

I do! Im mostly a private person so I disappear a lot, which makes me extra nervous when I do make a post. Often times I just do a posting and leave my phone in the other room so I don’t have to stress about the aftermath lol

I relate to this so much!

like

I did and also was in a comparison trap for a while! I took an extended break and noticed all the notification tactics IG took to get me back! I think they even promoted my page and got me followers! (This was during not opening the app for almost a year!)

But I want to start a business so I’m slowly logging back in. I read what other creators say and they set a different mindset where it’s a business, they don’t look at similar pages to compare themselves, set a time limit to post and engage, and while they don’t get used to mean comments, they deal with it by not taking it personal or take a break. So I’ll try to implement this 🤞🏽

like

Yes I did! Then I told friends I’m taking a break. If they messaged me I would hard press the notification to answer so the app didn’t open 😆

It became fun too, like how long can I stay off it??

Yes! I feel like most people's social media is in a specific niche or for branding purposes. I mostly share via stories. I did an actual post yesterday for the first time in almost 2 years.

Agreed. Stories are less intimidating lol.

Yesss! I do as well and have even sometimes deleted the post even if there’s nothing wrong with it. 😩 i have social anxiety so i think that may play a part into it..

Meanwhile our friends would love to see our posts 😩

I share via stories. As part of having posting anxiety, I do not look at who's viewed my stories. 😂 I post on TikTok with no problem.

Yes, I think I have PTSD from the past when an Ex found me through my social media profile.

But I go so many places I want to post about it, but I have so much anxiety about posting things.

like

Aw I’m sorry to hear about your ex. Yes, I would love to post my summer activities, but have so much anxiety over it lol.

I think posting for business reasons or ig business page is diff. However most of the followers are being built from the original IG. I post and try to not watch. I’m also not on daily.

Why the need to post though? I can understand job related posts on LI but not sure why people flash their lives on fb and start stressing on how many likes they get.
Some people do it to show they have great lives!! So unnecessary!

It's not a need to post it's wanting to share

like

I’ve been struggling with this as well. I’ve been unable to make myself post on any of my social media accounts for almost a year. I see all of my old connections thriving and being great and I have debilitating impostor syndrome so I feel like I can no longer share any of my life, or that no one would care to see/ know anything about me. I broke down on my birthday bc I couldn’t make myself post anything and didn’t want to have to see like 3 maximum likes on my content. It’s intimidating bc everyone’s life looks so perfect from the outside and if your life doesn’t look perfect, you don’t want to share.

Delete your social media accounts for your peace of mind
