Looking back on my old social media made me cringe. Looking at my 14-year-old self made me laugh but also made me realize how much I have grown. I do not believe I have a big online footprint now. The only social media platforms I have are Instagram and Facebook. I mostly upload photos of me and my family. Also, I do not have a personal website but I know some college students do.
If someone was to look at my social media they would learn that I attend High Point University. I have two puppies and I am in a relationship. Indirectly they could see that I do not hang around a lot of friends and take pictures with them. Also, I do not post often thus signifying that I am not always on Instagram.
I have never given out my phone number on social media because people can be crazy. Also, something I would never do is give my address to strangers on social media due to privacy.
The Atlantic wrote that Facebook can be possibly making us lonely. Within the mist of social media, it can be a feeling of loneliness. I do believe that social media can make us more distant. We will be hanging out with friends and spend more time with our noses in our phones than hanging out with that person. Also, some teens report that social media has caused them isolation.
In conclusion, I believe my online presence is presentable for social media. I do not post pictures that could be used against me and could slander my reputation.
