WHAT'S YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA WEAKNESS?

Other than going down Facebook, Instagram and YouTube rabbit holes, I suppose my greatest weakness is not engaging with others as much as I’d like.

Either I don’t answer comments and questions in a timely manner, or I don’t offer or ask anything. I’d like to be more consistently engaged. As I’ve said before, I think social media is the most damaging modern industry on the whole. For the most part, I enjoy participating - but it’s NOT where I get my news. It’s where I go for inspiration and community as many of the courses I take are hosted on the free platforms. I’ve carefully curated my feeds and follow accounts/people who are informative and as agenda-free as possible.

I travel the world without leaving my home, I see all the great works in museums and galleries on my screen, I participate in the lives of my friends without feeling like I’m intruding. I easily practice boundary-setting by selecting whom I choose to follow and those who can follow me. (The pandemic provided a useful barometer making it easier to determine who has values that align with mine. I’ve muted the loudest of those who live a life in conflict with mine.)

I share the reality of my life - the messy as well as the pretty - not the curated reality of my life. I follow accounts that share a similar philosophy.
