I’ve never had a Facebook account or any other social media. I know they keep shadow profiles, but I’ve never given permission. I never had any interest and frankly still don’t.
The problem I’m having is that I don’t exist online when people try to look me up. When someone tries to check me out, there’s nothing there and apparently that’s considered abnormal these days. I think it’s starting to affect my life negatively for various reasons I’d rather not get into.
I’d just like some advice about where to start if you wanted to dip your toes in and check it out. LinkedIn, maybe?
If anyone seriously judged me for not being on a particular website I’d have to consider their competency at managing life.
You can still be subconsciously judged or ignored, though. It’s easy to get left out because you aren’t thought about because you aren’t in a particular group chat, for example.
True, but my own opinion on that is that if they’re people who do that sort of thing, they’re genuinely not worth the sweat off my balls.
I do realise though, that I’m part of a generation where things like this are utterly irrelevant. It must be very much more difficult for younger people.
