5 things you don’t need to post on facebook

With the advent of social media, people connect people in just a click away. Netizens are now more excited in updating their social status online regularly than going to school. Than finishing their tasks at home. Than talking to someone to reconcile something between them. Than praying.

Sad but true. We are in a digital age that has changed the way we communicate. However, there must be limitations in using these tools to access easy communication.

Here are Five things which I think you don’t need to post on facebook.

1. You and how boring your job is.

By posting regular rants about your work, your co-workers or your boss, you put your future in jeopardy. Not literally but you will take the road roughly in getting the best out of your talents. Companies nowadays are checking your social image before hiring applicants. As a marketing executive in a real estate in Davao City, I usually check applicants facebook accounts before hiring them. There, I can interpret what kind of a person you are. Seeing rants from your previous companies on your profile will reflect and affect my decision-making factors. Stop biting the company that feeds your stomach. If you can’t handle it, resign is the most wisest choice.

2. My spouse is irresponsible!


Misunderstanding is part of nourishing your relationship. Everyone needs to be heard but sending and sharing your miserable experience in your weekend quarrel with your boyfriend or girlfriend to social media is a big NO! First, no one cares. Second, the world doesn’t need to know how irresponsible your spouse is because it will only reflect to you. Your fb friends will silently interpret you as more irresponsible by choosing an irresponsible partner. Sharing your arguments on facebook is like opening your window and there you are whining and shouting how dumb your boyfriend in a relationship is and you want your neighbors to hear it. Your facebook friends don’t know your spouse, if you love him/her, don’t allow others to judge him/her.

3. I need to post every minute
First status ‘going to comfort room now. After a minute, ‘where is the tissue?..grrr..’. Then, you see crush on newsfeed ‘OMG, he is wearing pink’. After 5 seconds, ‘ Where to go hmmm’. Then, you realized ‘ I left my charger..hahai’.

Annoying, isn’t it? I know it’s your facebook account. The intention is you want an attention. I have shared this idea to someone and he just answered, ‘well, unfollow me’. See? He wants attention but he encourages his friends to unfollow him owing to the fact that from time to time, his likers refrain in engaging anymore. From 5 likes for every post to 1 like ( himself). People have personal issues, they hate spammers on newsfeed because they don’t care (Unless you are Taylor Swift or a popular dubmasher in your area).

4. You and your wealth.

My eyebrow lifts whenever I see someone who posts personal cellphone numbers as part of his/her status. ‘ Hi guys, the network is up now, you can text me again here 09…” Revealing your personal number is like opening your door to robbers by sending you trolls and spam text because they believe you can be easily fooled.

Posting your money received from a recently successful project puts you in actual danger. Out of your 5,000 fb friends, I am sure you don’t know them all. Someone out there needs money desperately.

5. Seeing someone because he LIKES my post everyday.

Of course, you can always trust your friends and loved ones, but trusting someone whom you don’t really know by allowing him to court you. By sending him your intimate pictures. By giving our personal address and contacts. By seeing him personally because he got you fell in love with him in just 10 days. Chances are, you might find Mr.Right Guy, or you’ll fall to Mr Right Goon’s hand. There might be success stories about finding your ‘forever’ in social media but please be responsible enough in handling the situation.
