Posted Emotions

Listen to "Posted Emotions" on Spreaker. They've always said a picture is worth a thousand words. How valuable are your notes and or messages tucked away inside a computer? On this podcast we take a look at two sides of the things we paste to social media. The open thoughts loosely tossed onto Facebook during good and bad days and the in depth perceptions we all go through by sharing an experience. I'd rather read someone's passing thoughts then stare at a picture. Anyone can smile pretty or make it look like you're on the greatest vacation ever. The downside of that is how you just advertised to thieves that you aren't home and will probably be gone til Sunday night. Posting thoughts is no different. Does everybody dig your current circumstances at a really cool place to work or are your words actually generating just enough energy to unfriend. Happy people are cool but too much happy gets old. We've elected to put our lives out there. Even at times when the workplace is tearing your soul in half. We quickly jot down what's bugging us and then forget to take it down. Your luck! A potential new boss just got onto your social media and the picture you've painted doesn't agree when how they want their company to be talked about. I truly wonder how open we really are. With pictures and words we expose a lot or not enough. Causing assumption. How about that conversation where someone says, "I didn't know this side of you existed." Or, "Sorry to offend you. I just thought since I saw the pictures or read the words that you were _______." Learning how to emote safely. Connecting is a great vibe because social media makes it so easy to feel like we belong. When it's over though. It can sting quicker and harder than a real relationship because our addiction to social media consumes more than what we think.
