In today\u2019s day in age, it is common to feel pressure from our friends and peers to share everything on social media, whether it be an achievement or even a less exciting milestone. We are living in the age of social media. \u00a0But sometimes, things do not work out as planned and then we feel stuck owing an explanation to all of Facebook. \u00a0Here\u2019s 5 reason why should you wait until you announce a milestone.<\/p>\n

Unexpected things happen<\/h2>\n

Nailing a job interview is a great feeling. You are the perfect candidate and can\u2019t see any reason why they wouldn\u2019t hire you. \u00a0Therefore you are so excited to share the news with everyone and post about it on social media. But then, unfortunately, you get a call a few days later from the company saying they are sorry, but they have found a better fit for the job. As if not getting the job was not upsetting enough, having told everyone on social media can cause all lot more distress. \u00a0So sometimes it is valuable to wait it out before you announce things.

It creates time pressures<\/h2>\n

If you share your news with your circle of friends, then you will be faced with a lot of questions about when these events and changes are actually happening. When are you moving? When do you start your new career? These questions can cause a lot of extra stress and pressure. \u00a0By refraining from posting your future plans on social media, you can save yourself from a lot less questioning. \u00a0People often think they have your best interests in mind when they ask you such questions, but it does not usually help.<\/p>\n

Not everyone will give you the response you were looking for<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, not everyone who is your friend on Facebook wants the best for you. For some people, it is very hard for them to see other people’s success and be happy for other people. \u00a0In turn, they may not send you the messages or encouragement you were hoping for. \u00a0Tell the people that are really important to you about your milestones.

Protect your ideas<\/h2>\n

The reality of society is that competition exists in every industry. \u00a0By not posting about all your ideas, dreams, and goals you are actually protecting yourself. If you have something you want to achieve, go for it, by social media is not always your way to get there.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s simply your business<\/h2>\n

Many people paint a perfect picture of their lives on social media, and this is not always the case. Our social media profiles are a filtered reality. \u00a0This also means that you do not need to share every one of your accomplishments. It does not mean any more or less if you are the only one aware it. It is important to feel significant even without any validation from others. It\u2019s your life, your business, and your success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
