Private Life is a Happy Life: How You Protect Your Identity?
Private life is always happy life, surely we all know about that, where we don't want others ate last knew more about us, where people will be curious about what we have at least we could be what we want for what we loved, by not just what people like and loved so be seen in social media.
TP releases a Spotify podcast today, and the first episode is about the artist Jude's hardship and story. She talks about her life, how the managers she said discovered her, her faith, and the work she presents. If you want to learn more about TpTalks, why not hear it in Podcast at this link?
I won't spoil the whole Podcast, for I think you must be the one who shall hear the story, but there is something that gets me to the point of writing; that's was when she said that she regretted telling her real names, that she also wanted to become private after people have already known her name, that's what I am. I am not comfortable telling my real name and the real people I am because I also want a private life over the content I present. And that's what I am telling you today.
In my real life, I am a silent guy. I do post photos of mine which was the audience is 'only me' I just wanted to post, but I don't want people to see; I posted my social media once every two months, I had no shared posts, but when elections come I did that to support my candidate, in short, my social media account is boring, but people whom I know contacting me more in social media.
I am not giving my mobile number, for I don't want to be called.
Why don't I want to tell others about my account?
Because I wanted to become a private, I wanted my life and another way still different. One thing that I learned from other people is privacy over social media. It feels like you will know everything about them when you just visited her feeds, the way she likes, or her past life are listed on social media.
I refrain from interacting with people over my account, for I know that someday I will be private and more not likely want to expose myself yet.
What if people knew more about your personal life?
I think I already planned this thing out, I knew that one day or future, people would discover more about me, and maybe that's how given errands, that's why I posted my picture for limited people, not with the likes or comments for I am not being fed with those social appreciations.
You might laugh, but when I know someone's real name, I search for them on Facebook and block you. That's happened because, of course, I also wanted to keep your privacy, where I could hear and read your life stories, which is fine. I don't need to know everything, for it's also your freedom and privacy.
In the Podcast, she mentioned that she wanted to create a different account with another name or identity. Sometimes it's more we could open up when we knew we were comfortable that people wouldn't dig more, haha.
Protect your identity.
I have done this for years now, protecting some of it. So maybe it's time for you to understand why I am open in my accounts.
Most likely, they said, "Only famous people could be a victim of cyber attacked," which was real, but I think more and more people are being attacked just that we don't see it within our eyes yet as we ignored it.
Do you know the term "CI" or Customer intelligence? That's the way people are digging more about you that you never knew they were investigating. And one for sure that you bring your real name in the sheet is your social media.
Even when you met people somewhere, and she asked your name, the number one intell source she will look at is Facebook. Your photos and past stories. People wanted to dig more about you, look at you. That's the one I hate, and it's like privacy on social media is limited. Or do we not have any privacy at these moments?
If there was no privacy, somehow it was. People are getting in touch, and more people are digging more about us, just how we might protect our privacy and identity matters.
Privacy matters.
One day you will know why I have to do this, or maybe it's time to understand that it gives me more confidence to write and share, thinking my private life over social and blogging had to be different.
I don't have a problem with people exposed to themselves; it's their decisions, but for me, privacy matters.
How about you? How do you protect your private life?
Privacy indeed matters. Di ako maki soc med lalo na nung nag college. Pag nag mamyday ako ng selfie ko delete din agad after few minutes hahah tho it's not a bad thing to share stuffs in our lives, pili lang dapat tho
