thoughts on people who are very private people? they exist

It really is that simple. In a lot of places outside America plenty of young people think it's cringe to constantly post on Facebook and Instagram. Attention seeking nonsense imo

The 'no value on the sexual marketplace' explanation is hilariously off the mark

People who value their privacy and/or don't feel the need to broadcast their lives for all to see.

I have a Facebook account but I never post anything.

I do not receive notifications, so using the @ feature will not do anything. I might see your post and respond though if I have already been in the topic.

Seems prudent.

There is no reason to be on non-anonymous online social media.

I have a Facebook account that I've not used for several years. My cousin talked me around to creating it, and I got bored of being there after a month. Felt like it was just a gathering place for self-centered exhbitionists who'd post pictures of their latest meal, a cutesy-doo photo of their toddlers, a selfie of which the kind I had already seen a dozen of in a week, or showcase their new floral-patterned window curtains or whatever.
The whole Facebook experience felt repulsingly shallow.

I'm one of those people. Got rid of Facebook and Twitter years ago, never had an Instagram or Tiktok. Had a MySpace 15 years ago for my band at the time, heh, but of course that's long inactive. I'm a hiring manager so I'm forced to have a LinkedIn for recruiting purposes but I've never posted publicly on it. I stopped using Amazon shopping (though AWS is unavoidable) and replaced Google search with DuckDuckGo.

My thoughts on not having social media is it feels liberating. I don't feel obligated to comment on the news, express opinions, share updates, or "perform" online. I don't have to pay attention to any of the drama or misleading info. Whenever possible I want to avoid feeling like a product. It's done wonders for my mental health and happiness. My wife still has hers and sometimes she'll get really bummed out by whatever mean/wrong/aggressive thing someone on her Instagram said.

The downside is I wonder occasionally whether acquaintances warm up to me more slowly because I don't advertise facts or photos about myself online -- info like that is a small talk shortcut. Not having it visible might make me less accessible. Like I've worked with people for years who have no idea I'm a life-long basketball fan, that I love rock climbing, or that I speak French... that sort of thing. But if you speak with people honestly in person you can still forge those personal connections and friendships.

They're smarts.

Or extremely suspicious, but probably just smart enough to not plaster their lives online and wonder why people online suddenly know everything about em.

Why would I want a social media presence? I'm well past the age where I feel that everybody should listen to everything I have to say.

Oh, and this:
WaterLink posted...
I have no facebook, no twitter, no instagram, no snapchat. I have a phone and a phone number. The people I know can reach me there and I can reach them through theres. People that aren't even close enough to me to know my phone number have no business seeing my day to day life or need to know my shower thoughts, so I see no reason to broadcast it anyone other than the ones that I need or want to show it to, which I have the means to do without social media, i.e. if there's a pic or video I want to show my friends, I just text it to the recipient I have in mind.

I used to have facebook as a kid. Was even addicted to it but I deleted it all and I haven't gone back. I now have a no pic, fake name profile just for talking to a few friends. If it weren't for Messenger then Facebook would be utterly useless for me.

Don't like Instagram either. Tried it and my friends post their weird pics and vids of them singing songs. Who the hell finds that entertaining?

Yes, most people aren't introverted shut-ins with nothing to put on display. Shocking, I know.

What are you, 50?

Why are so hostile and defensive about *gasp people sharing their day with loved ones. Sounds like you just don't do shit/no one would care about what you do.

Prior to this, you called people that dont have social media introverted shut ins with nothing to display, but hes the one thats hostile?
A lot of people are quite capable of doing doings and having adventures without the need to show everyone. Up until the last 10-20years, thats everyone did. Its called personal satisfaction and accomplishment.

It's one thing to make the choice to not use social media. No harm in that

It's another thing entirely to use that decision as the basis for any kinda of substantive character judgement, good or bad

it's this generation's version of "I dont own a TV"

Thats a good point.
There is no difference between the guy not owning a TV and judging everyone else based on his decision to not own one, and someone having social media and judging everyone that doesnt based on his decision to have it.
