My best friend and I were chatting about a recent conversation we had with our families about how we’d been spending our summer. In a way, we were both asking ourselves what it was we were doing wrong. It was a bit of a shock, because we’d always been good about taking care of ourselves. But we’d never been so proactive in getting a handle on things, or so good about talking about it.

Here’s the thing. We don’t have a good handle on our personal lives. Wed have always been good about taking care of themselves, and even though we were talking about social media best practices 2018, in fact we were talking about taking care of our families.

We have a lot of things happening right now, and the biggest one is that we’re getting a divorce. Even though wed were thinking about social media best practices, they had no idea what to say. The reason we’re asking ourselves what we were doing wrong is because we are making a lot of mistakes that we were not expecting. Because of that, we are always asking ourselves, “How can I take care of myself better?” in order to take care of our families better.

Social media is a great way to stay on top of things with your family. But it can also be a great way to not look at them or you. The problem is that people tend to think that when they see a post on social media, they will think, “Oh my God, I’ve got to respond to that!” and they will. But how do you respond to that? You will think about something else.

People don’t really think about this stuff, but the best response to a post on social media is to not reply, or just ignore it. Even if you don’t reply, if you don’t ignore it, you can’t take it seriously. It’s just a piece of information. Just because you can’t take it seriously, doesn’t make it not a real post. And if you can’t take it seriously, you shouldn’t be on social media at all.

So if you are in a social media loop, then you should not be on any social media at all. If you are in the loop and it is not important enough to respond to, then don’t respond at all.

I find myself constantly checking my Facebook feed, which is fine but I am sure some people are more productive in the comments section. I find myself checking my Twitter feed as well because I find it quite useful. I like to keep up with the latest information about all sorts of subjects but I find that I have become quite attached to the news and information that is being shared. It is nice to be able to see what people are saying about all sorts of topics that are not related to me personally.

It is true that a lot of the content I see on Facebook and Twitter are from people that I don’t know. But I am sure the people that are sharing the most interesting and informative content are actually friends of mine and I am sure that they are also sharing something that I would not be sharing. If you are a person that is not in the loop, people sharing what they know is not going to bring you any closer to knowing what is going on.

I see this all the time. People don’t seem to understand that they are sharing something that they know is important to other people. If you are not in the loop, you are not adding value because you are not adding value to other people’s lives. So the best practice is to simply share the value that you already have because it is what you already have that will be shared the most.

Social media best practices 2018 are all well and good, but as a society we are not even close to creating a single best practice, so its time to talk about the best practices we have for our own lives. Social media is about the most important part of our lives, so let’s talk about it.
