i engage when I want to engage on the socials

I have discovered something about myself that has been going on for a couple of years now. I do not engage on the socials like I use to. Especially X.

It really more reflects how I am as a person. More of a listener and not one that wants to make a lot of noise.

The time I do spend on social is less these days, and I’m more picky of what I find interesting.

I don’t engage to boost my visibility. Nor do I use it to build a brand or, conceptually, feel I need to always be seen. Again, like life.

Now I’m not saying this is a golden rule for everyone, as each person does what they need to do. It’s my thing.

Today I checked the regular platforms as I had a little time to spare. Did I engage? Yes, one particular post on LinkedIn caught my eye and thus, I opened my mouth.

And overall it just feels better.
