When Your Social Media is Taken Over.

Dear Abby,

I always used my social media as a bit of an emotional crutch... Rant when I need to. Be crazy or funny or serious, whatever, it has always been my outlet...

Things have changed. My Facebook is becoming more for networking with colleagues which I love, but, how much is too much for them to know?

My Tumblr is for networking. My Twitter is for Networking. Anybody have Reddit? Definitely a networking tool to the nth there! How do you use Snapchat for networking? LOL! I haven't a clue? Yet.. Instagram.. Ditto! and Pinterest.. Again. Ditto. All incredible networking tools... But, my Facebook. That is my personal space, man. What's going on? I have pages for all my websites there and do a LOT of posting to them..

But, I miss that emotional release of sorts I got when I was more personal on my FaceBook.

Ready to put this into action?

Does anyone else have this problem? Should I have a personal account for PERSONAL stuff? I really don't want any more accounts.. Ha Ha!

Kind Regards,

Social Media Diva Downer


Now with that said, I am really wondering how to get back myself socially.. Maybe, I will take up good old fashioned hand- writing in a journal again or calling friends on the phone. That could get really interesting now that I have a few in Australia, Singapore and England!! Can anyone suggest a good long distance plan!? Hmm, or maybe a Google Hangout is in order!!


Yet, I don't think this is the social media strategy I have been talking about.... LOL!

Have a great weekend , all you wonderful people. Thank you for putting up with me! ♥pJ
