I used to second guess what I should post because I was afraid it wouldn’t get any likes or people would think I was a weirdo or judge me for whatever reason.
I used to second guess what I should post because I was afraid it wouldn’t get any likes or people would think I was a weirdo or judge me for whatever reason. I was afraid that if I totally showed up as myself, people would not like me or unfollow me. I used to hate when I had a certain number of followers and after a couple of pictures or new stories on Instagram, that number would go down by a couple of followers and then life felt like it was over! So instead, I tried to adapt and be a likeable person online – I tried not to ruffle up any feathers and just keep posting what I thought other people wanted to see – even if that meant being less of myself to just please other people. I needed those numbers to go up in order to feel better about myself and my life.
