10 Things NOT to Do in a Digital Age (Social Media Edition)

The internet is forever, and sometimes we all wish it wasn’t. If you want to survive the digital age without becoming a cautionary tale, here’s what not to do.

1. Don’t Post Everything You Think

   Not every thought deserves an audience.

2. Don’t Fall for Fake Headlines

   Read before you share (and maybe after).

3. Don’t Compare Your Life to Their Highlight Reel

   You’re seeing their best, not their reality.

4. Don’t Overshare Your Personal Drama

   Therapy > Twitter.

5. Don’t Get Sucked Into Comment Section Wars

   It’s digital quicksand.

6. Don’t Ghost People Like It’s Normal

   Be a person, not a disappearing act.

7. Don’t Chase Viral Fame

   Fame fades, but embarrassing videos last forever.

8. Don’t Believe Everything You See

   Filters, edits, bots- oh my.

9. Don’t Forget to Disconnect

   Real life has better graphics.

10. Don’t Lose Yourself Online

    You’re more than your feed.

Final Thought

Social media is a tool- not your identity. Use it. Don’t let it use you.
