I have been active on social media for a few years now. I wasn't exactly sure about what I should share and what I shouldn't share on social media. When we start on our journey on Youtube and also start Blogging, our creative juices start flowing and since we are sharing our lives sometimes, we over share. I am guilty of this myself, but what we don't realize is that anyone with an Internet connection is privy to all our personal information.
Sometimes we forget that there are people on social networks that can view us and we don't know who they are. Some of these companies demand that we use our real names which further put us at risk. There are people who like us but there are also people for some reason or another do not care for us and we have to learn to be very careful about disclosing certain things on social media.
Like most of you, I have heard a lot of horror stories and most of the time it comes from someone becoming obsessed with you or don't like something that you revealed. We must never forget that there are some really crazy people in this world and we have to take steps to protect ourselves and our families.
Let's make a conscious effort to share but don't share too much. We deserve our privacy like anyone else. Do not give anyone an open door into your life.
If your life is threatened do not take it lightly and alert the proper authorities and tell the people that you love, what is going on.
