Social Media Makes Me Feel Guilty

Social Media Makes Me Feel Guilty

Be part of the conversation. Meet new people. Make new business contacts. Market your product, service, self, or ideas. Social media does it all.

Social media is a demanding master and I fail my master regularly. Why doesn’t social media accept that I have a life outside of social media? That my family wants to have a conversation without a computer between us? That I might have work to do? Or maybe, I would just like to see the sun?

Social media requires talking. Sometimes, I have nothing to say. But, what will my people think if I don’t say anything? How will I explain the gaps in my social media timeline? Where was I? What was I doing? Why wasn’t I being part of the conversation?

Don’t my followers need me? Don’t they depend on my pithy comments, sharp wit and sage advice?

I’m no social media hater but I hate that social media makes me feel guilty. When did social media become my master?

Share the Guilt

That said. Why don’t you follow me on Twitter so that we can share the guilt.
