3 Times You Should Never Post On Social Media, Especially If It Is On A Blockchain
Oh social media. A place where everyone can see your thoughts and photos. So why not post something stupid :p. Hopefully we all know to be discerning when it comes to what we put online, especially when it comes to our personal profiles. If it is a selfie, or a post about your day, think about it before you post it. If it is not something you want everyone to see, or come back to bite you in the ass later, do not hit the submit button (and if there is something online that you don't want up that you already posted, it sucks, but you'll live it down, we all had made mistakes). This is more true on a blockchain where everything is immutable. To help you avoid the pitfalls of posting something that makes you look bad, here are 3 times you should stay off social media.
When You Are Drunk
I fucjinh lve you Sarahh. Yeah, just like most things in life, you should not do it when you are drunk. It is the same as your texts when you read a drunk message in the morning, it is not pretty. None of us are as articulate as we think we are when we are drunk and it is no better when it is typed out. If you do this, be prepared to write some sorry posts the next day.
When You Break Up With Someone
I fucking hate you Sarah. Nobody is their self when they are going through a break-up. No one. Maybe they are angry that they are being left and are ready with a barrage of insults. Or are desperate and are willing to do or say anything to get the person back. When you are going through a bad break-up you can be an emotional mess and although it is normal, it is not pretty. No one wants to see you, at your worse, writing PLEASE TAKE ME BACK!!!!!! at 3 in the morning.
When You Are Upset, About Anything
Can you believe what Sarah did? If you had a shit day and need to get it out (which is healthy) bitch to a friend, scream in a pillow or right it down in a journal and burn the pages. Even type it out and delete it after. But don't write how much of a moron your boss is and then hit the submit button for everyone to see. The last you thing you need is to have insults in writing. Oh you want a raise, I don't think this moron knows how to do it :p.
Any other times you want to add, let me know in the comments.

Haha! Great post.
Luckily, I don't drink. Check #1. So happy!
And I don't have anyone to break up with. Check #2. So happy! (perhaps not?)
Lastly, I am rarely upset. Yet I feel sharing as anon will help. In fact, recently someone shared their personal story on social media and felt truly good.
But for me? Check #3. :P
PS: Also, hope you can fix the headline. Says "shoud" instead of "should."
Fixed, thanks for the catch. That can be number 4, don't post when you're tired :P
Alright! Genuinely made me LOL harder...
😂😂😂
#4 could be when you are ragingly horny. This can lead to issues as well. Especially steer clear of private messaging someone (on a platform other than Steem)..
Oh yeah, when your mind is in the gutter so are your posts.
Well said. I have a friend that got dumped in his last two relationships because of things he was saying to girls via Facebook. Mind you, he's dumber than a bag of hammers...but still brings about a solid lesson!
Oh man. I have had one such friend. I don't know how they do it. 😂😂
My friends nickname is "Cheating Curt"...cuz this is what he does. He currently has a 20 year old gf..(he's 34 mind you)...and just moved out of her place and into a new apartment with a different girl. Yet, he's still dating the 20 year old. His life is like watching a car crash in slow motion. Cant look away!
Oh man. I SO want to be friend with your friend. 😂
Sounds like a really cool dude. His perspective on life and its purpose will be much more different. 😂
I hope he gets high too!
Well of course we all smoke weeds..that's not even a question. Nice guy, but mind blowing at the same time. ha. If you asked him about his perspective on life though, he would probably answer with something cross-fit related, partially because he wouldn't know what you meant by "perspective"...he'd be going on about sweating during workouts, thinking you were talking about "perspiration"! He's entertaining.
I think when you are upset is the right time to write about the thing you are upset.
But then I am talking not about personal problem like you did (where I never would even get the idea to disturb other people with), but more about society and political things.
I agree with this. I have actually told a couple of folks who are upset to write and share. They feel lighter and clearer after doing so. In fact, most of the problems / issues are in the head. So getting them out and putting them down... publicly or privately... is helpful.
On the dangerous side, one can form opinion and judge their own self after sharing their own thoughts.
Totally agree with your post. Posting on social media should surely be avoided in these 3 conditions, especially the drunken state and after a breakup.
Yeah breakup posts can be bad.
Yup!
That's why i haven't made any posts since i got sick. I'm a right bastard's when I'm ill, and the mush brain doesn't help any :)
Just stick to photos of landscapes :)
Well said, I agree fully with you
Thanks for sharing
