In this day and age, it’s easy to get caught up in “likes” and “un-likes” on social media.
Here’s the thing. Your self-worth isn’t determined by whether someone likes you or not.
It’s like Junior High.
“So-and-so likes me.” Or… “I don’t think so-and-so likes me.”
Does it matter?
Whose approval are you going for? Those who truly love you, or some like-likers, like-unlikers, like, un-like, but like again-ers? Oh, my! It’s enough to make one’s head spin.
Yes, once you make your name public, whether you’re an author, actor, singer, musician, WHATEVER, you make yourself a target of Like or Un-Likers.
People are fickle. They like you until…
They find you’re not like them, politically.
They find you’re not like them, religiously.
They find you’re not like them… um… Italian-ly, Irish-ly, Black-ly, White-ly, I-like-big-dogs VS small-dogs-ly, or cat VS dog-ly.
SO WHAT!!!
Take a deep breath.
It’s “social” media, folks.
Which, may or not, by definition, be SOCIAL at all.
Rant over.
Howdy! This blog post couldn’t be written much better! Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept talking about this. I’ll send this article to him. Fairly certain he’ll have a very good read. Thanks for sharing!
