There are many phantom and invisible achievements posted on social media for the purpose of intimidating others.There are some genuine ones posted for the purpose of sparking off envy while did it to win prestige and recognition.

Your choice but know there are demonic beings and witches/wizards and agents of the devil on SM monitoring. They are not monitoring for fun.

Post only what will confuse people and people won’t have much ideas… never let the public know your full story, I post only few updates but in such a way that people can only do guess works but will never ever understand what’s going on

And not everybody I know is on my social media space…

I lost my baby last month because of Instagram... My husband is active on Instagram and he was so excited that we were going to have a baby that he even posted the picture of the ultrasound on his Instagram account, not knowing that his ex has been stalking him with a different account.

About a week later, she contacted me and started telling me about how she's now born again and turned a new leaf, that she wanted to make amends for what happened in the past... I assured her that I've long moved on from what happened and held no grudge against her... She then suggested that we should meet, so that we could bury the hatchet the right way, again I fell for her trick and told her that I'll let her know when I'm around Limpopo and we'd meet... Because I'm the type of a person who believes in second chances.

My husband warned me against the idea, but I assured him that I wasn't planning on being friends with her, but I just wanted to hear her out in person.

Last month I visited my parents in Limpopo and I informed her that I was around... We arranged our meeting and since it was a restaurant, I didn't think anything bad could happen... Long story short, I ended up fighting for my life in hospital and lost the baby... I had to undergo three surgeries, all because of that ultrasound my husband posted on his Instagram.

Like 2024 isn't my year.
You get mind go see your husband ex!

lol…
This is why I recommend people to watch movies for example, movies like games of thrones, you will understand that the world is not Hollywood where good things always happen to good people and bad guys will always die.
A movie like GOT shows you that living the world with humans is about applying your 6th sense, as long as you think they are your enemy, you are their own enemies too and it’s who is smarter than wins. The world moves on.
If she succeeded, she will kill you and inherit your husband and the world moves on… lol

And sorry about the loss, I hope you get back stronger

And again, your husband na gen z?. Which kind of men do we have in this generation, pussy ass niggers posting like Gen Zs

I post only spiritual materials that can save your soul
Re: Posting Your Achievements On Social Media, Yay Or Nay? by spiSeyi: 2:20pm On Dec 08, 2024
It depends if you are an ambitious entrepreneur there's nothing bad about it , just don't take your family issues out there. Take a look at Elon Musk, Monipoint CEO and even Tony Elumelu, Facebook CEO post their achievements on social media to inspire others and attract investors and these guys are growing bigger daily .
My candid advice is to remain humble and stay focused cool
Re: Posting Your Achievements On Social Media, Yay Or Nay? by Truthbetold226: 2:20pm On Dec 08, 2024
Never, don't, especially when you are still building up. Most of the challenges am facing now started the moment I posted my achievement online... My bike business came crashing,my POS business same and my other business same .. after suffering for 3 years ,am beginning to regain myself now. Thanks to God almighty and crypto.

Big lie
Posting online is not show off
It depends on how you see it
Some of us post for fun 🤩 or to entertain our contacts.
Do whatever works for you but don’t judge others based on your opinion
If you want to entertain your contacts, then post memes and skits
Nobody gets entertained by you showing off your luxurious lifestyles. Trust me
It only brings unnecessary attention and even open you and your loved ones for kidnap and hate

Posting your achievements on social media like vacation trips, graduation pics, Job promotion, dinner dates, eating out in luxury restaurant's and others.

Do you think it's a wise or foolish decision?

Give logical reasons.
So having dinner dates , na achievement, please school me on that

Most annoying are the ones who post food on their status
Re: Posting Your Achievements On Social Media, Yay Or Nay? by DrAda(f):
It depends. I guess when you get to a certain age, you will yearn to post your achievements for you and you alone and not for anyone else.

More so, why hide it? It literally makes no sense. On LinkedIn, people fabricate all sorts of stories to make it look like achievements. Without a solid portfolio aka CV which consists of nothing but your achievements, then you have to ask yourself if you are living or just existing.

All these is to essentially say that yes I support posting ones achievements for every damn person on the planet to witness.

I don't gbadun or like some of my online post but I think their his a source of interest for it & I don't want to let my fans down.
................
Based on circumstances it could be right or wrong to post your achievements it is always wise not to be frivolous.

Is this story real or a fairytale?
If real, the said lady and her collaborators should be cooling off behind bars.
Were you poisoned or attacked?
Re: Posting Your Achievements On Social Media, Yay Or Nay? by lagonovo: 2:33pm On Dec 08, 2024
Most important question: What's the goal?

If for business, inspiration, information, mentoring etc, then I see no issue.

We ordered same beverages and she started telling me how her phone battery was about to die and asked if I could charge it in my car while we were still hanging out, I didn't see anything wrong with it, so I took her phone along with the charger and headed to the car.

That's when she got the chance to spike her drink and stylishly switched it with mine... The restaurant wasn't packed that day and the girl was so foolish, she didn't even investigate the security system of that restaurant before she finally decided to go ahead with her plan... The restaurant has some CCTV cameras even though they're not easily noticeable.

After our meeting, I headed to my father's workplace and I was in his office when I started feeling unwell.
The heart of man is unbelievably wicked

I have mixed feelings.
I want to build an online brand, share my tech journey, life experiences, and possibly earn from content creation.

People will reach out to you easily for jobs if you're competent and experienced, but how do they do that if you don't have an online presence that could build trust.

At the same time, I want a low-key life of privacy. What they don't know, they can't ruin. 🤷🏽
Monetizing your contents is different from showing off. However, as soon as it is out there, it is out there even a post that is mistakenly posted is also part of your online footprint.

Honestly, unless you like attention or for monetization, there is no point showing off your achievements on social media. It just doesn’t make sense.
Your success will speak for it self with or without social media.

EmperorCaesar:
cheesy

You got it

You got it

Same for meHavent posted anything on my personal Whatsapp status since 2017, so its hard to even post anything on IG or Twitter...Only on Linkedin

I do things this way cause i no like attention. I once changed job three times(across three different fields) early this year and not even my best pals that i see everyday were even aware of it

I just like being under the radar. My personality

That aside, posting ones achievement wouldnt change anything . Village people and juju cant do shii

Life happens to people at anytime it so wishes
Re: Posting Your Achievements On Social Media, Yay Or Nay? by Samantha125(f): 2:37pm On Dec 08, 2024
I went to the police to see her before I came back to KZN and she didn't seem remorseful at all, she no longer had anything to hide since she was under police custody.

People of all ages do post their ultrasounds online... It's not only Gen Z.

You get mind go see your husband ex!

Some years ago, she and her friends attacked me, but I let that one slide.

But this year she came back again under false guise and poisoned me.

This is really bad. Well, life has a way of teaching us lessons.
Don't trust too easily and always be on your guard.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Re: Posting Your Achievements On Social Media, Yay Or Nay? by Martinez39s(m): 2:49pm On Dec 08, 2024
I don't post anything about my private life or any unnecessary stuff on social media. I don't even post things on my WhatsApp status, except if it is necessary. This is how I live my life, and I don't see any wisdom in doing otherwise.

I post for fun and also for validation.

I stopped because I don't get the validation and it makes me feel bad. My former mates from university, secondary school still get hundreds of thousands of likes, but I get very few. Maybe six, maybe ten. I got tired of the disappointment, so that's one reason I got discouraged from posting.

Number two, the fear of spiritual attacks. I have a picture of my little boy on Facebook but I'm going to remove it soon.

Number three, the stupid competition and endless jealousy of other women. My son was born with hair, but I decided to post a picture of him when we cut all his hair, tagging it 'memories'. Immediately, a former friend that has over millions of likes on every of her posts went to post her own son, tagging it 'memories' as well, with his full hair. I immediately got annoyed, like you have it all, must you kill my moment. I posted my son with hair but she must have known how I would feel and mischievously didn't view my own. She just wanted to kill my moment of joy. I decided to leave social media for them that are always having five million likes while people view mine and I have so little likes.

Another fair skinned pretty girl on my WhatsApp took it as a personal fight when I started posting my naming ceremony pictures and baby pictures. She never had before in the long time that I had her contact, posted pictures, but once I did my own, she started posting pictures of her relatives baby living abroad. Like... How am I fighting you, I don't even know you. To the extent that I posted on Whatsapp and immediately she posted something that triggered me. Once I put up another post that made her know it pained me, she put up a cryptic post immediately saying 'you do me, I do you' 'you do me, I do you'. Actually it was a meme of a politician saying that aggressively. As I was posting my baby she was posting that her relatives baby like say na fight. Honestly, I think light skinned women get mad when they see less beautiful or black women get married and have babies before they do. Same for extremely beautiful women. Some of them have a very black heart. They think a less beautiful woman shouldn't have anything. The can also be insanely jealous.

If I'm not going to get those likes, it's personally painful and embarrassing to me, especially when my mates are posting their babies and receiving tons of likes. Millions. Then I'd rather avoid the disappointment and not post. Like, my baby is very cute, so what the hell.

Let me add, my mates post pictures that are far out than mine. They post pictures of themselves abroad, finishing books, winning awards, big restaurants abroad, flight tickets and experiences, themselves I'm different countries, themselves with expensive hair and clothes with clean skin and people like them. My personal former friend dey post her trips to Japan, her constant visits to big restaurants to eat... I know it's genuine because I know their wealthy families or successes and skills from way back.

With all this ... I should still be posting myself in my modest settings and life? Sitting by the wall, or at a small restaurant, or by my window in my house? They just remind me of luxury that I'm not living, successes that I haven't achieved, worst of all little to no likes or attention for my own. Is it not better to not post than to be buying myself depression with each post? I don't even branch Instagram much again, for my personal sanity.
Pele. I wish you'd seek validation elsewhere, because if you look for it from human beings, you'd be sorely disappointed.

You also need to work on your self esteem because this kind of mindset you have will only keep you stagnant and unhappy with yourself.
