SEC S15 WK1: "Life on Social Media"

Edited By Canva

Do you support that our daily lives should be put up on social media all the time?

In my daily life, I am aware that each moment, each experience has a particular value, and I consider the preservation of this intimacy to be crucial. Continually sharing these moments on social media could, in my opinion, dilute this personal value. I prefer to carefully choose which aspects of my life I share online, ensuring that I maintain a balance between digital connectivity and maintaining my privacy.

Online life can be superficial at times, and it's easy to get caught up in the pressure to constantly share. However, I am attached to the notion of intimate moments reserved for myself, for my loved ones, far from the spotlight of social networks. These moments can include moments of personal reflection, modest successes, or even challenges that I prefer to resolve in private.

I fear that the overuse of social media can, in some way, alter the quality of these special moments. By sharing too much, there is the risk of losing the true essence and authenticity of personal experiences. Additionally, daily life can be complex, with its ups and downs, and it is essential for me to find a balance that preserves reality while respecting my own sphere of privacy.

Have you ever experienced or seen any case where a person has the habit of showcasing his life on social media and the effects turned out well?

Yes, over time I have observed situations where individuals choose to regularly share their lives on social media and in some cases the effects have been quite positive. It's fascinating to see how some use these platforms as a showcase to share experiences that are meaningful, inspiring, educational or even just encouraging.

For example, I have been able to follow people who openly share their personal challenges, their accomplishments or their passions. These shares, when authentic and sincere often create a positive and supportive online community. Comments and feedback from this community can play a significant role in strengthening the person, providing emotional support and sometimes even constructive advice.

However, I am also aware that the success of this approach depends greatly on how the individual manages their online presence. The content shared must remain authentic and aligned with reality avoiding excessive watering down or the fabrication of an image that could be perceived as inauthentic. Additionally, the nature of reactions and comments may vary depending on the specific audience, platform and online culture.

It is important to emphasize that this type of positive experience is not necessarily suitable for everyone and each person must decide the level of sharing that suits their personality, goals and comfort. Ultimately, the positive or negative effect of sharing one's life on social media depends on how the individual handles this virtual exposure and the quality of the resulting interactions.

Do you think all the showcase on social media are true?

Personally, I harbor a certain skepticism regarding the veracity of all the showcases that we find on social networks. My perception is influenced by the observation that although some people share authentic aspects of their lives, it is unfortunately common to encounter content that is exaggerated, edited, or even entirely fabricated.

Social networks, in my opinion, often function as selective showcases where everyone has the freedom to choose the facets of their life to display. This conscious choice can lead to a predominant emphasis on positive moments, successes and joyful moments, while leaving aside challenges, failures and difficult moments. This selectivity can create a distorted picture of reality, where life often seems more idealized than it really is.

It is crucial, in my opinion, to take a step back and maintain an appropriate dose of skepticism about what is shared online. This does not necessarily mean that each person is deliberately seeking to deceive, but rather that the social media environment often encourages careful staging of life. As a result, I tend to adopt a critical attitude, recognizing that what is presented online may not always reflect the whole of reality.

I try not to take everything shared on social media literally. This involves a constant awareness that what I see may be a watered down or filtered version of someone's real life. In cultivating this approach, I seek to maintain a balanced and realistic perspective while navigating through the abundant content present on social media platforms.

Do you feel safe on steemit with your information? What can you say about steemit

When it comes to Steemit, I feel relatively comfortable with sharing a few moments from my personal life. This trust largely stems from this platform's unique, community-based system. Steemit's structure allows users to engage in specific communities where members are often known and get closer to each other.

The idea of belonging to a specific community on Steemit creates a more familiar atmosphere and, in my experience, it provides an extra layer of security. By being surrounded by people I know or who share similar interests, I feel more confident to share aspects of my daily life without fear of unwanted exposure.

Additionally, Steemit emphasizes decentralization, meaning that control and ownership of data is more in the hands of users. It also helps make me feel safer online. However, I remain vigilant about privacy settings and take steps to protect my personal information as I would on any other online platform.

It is essential to note that perceptions of security may vary between individuals, and everyone should carefully evaluate their own privacy preferences and needs before sharing information on any platform, including Steemit. My confidence in this platform comes from my positive experience in specific communities but everyone should make informed decisions based on their own criteria for online safety and comfort.
