I Blocked Everyone I Know In Real Life On Linkedin Because Of This by faxana(op): 10:22pm On Oct 08, 2025
I'm building a brand on LinkedIn from ground up and I'm going to be loud and shameless about hence I don't want to feel like I'm being watched.

If I feel like I'm being watched I may worry too much about a post and edit too much. If I had a large following that would be fine but I have a really small following so I don't have that luxury. I need to post passionately.

Does anyone else have this problem or has anyone ever experienced this before?

Honestly, I can relate to this 100%.

When you’re still growing your LinkedIn presence, it’s easy to feel like every post is being “watched” or judged — especially when you don’t have a big following yet. But the truth is, most people are too focused on their own pages to notice as much as we think.

What really helped me was focusing on consistency instead of perfection. The more you post, the easier it becomes to share your thoughts without overthinking every line.

Also, if you’re serious about building your brand from scratch, I’d strongly recommend trying out LinkedIn Premium — not for vanity, but because the insights and visibility boost make a huge difference. You get to see who’s viewing your profile, advanced search filters for outreach, and you can message people outside your connections.

I actually found a way to get the same LinkedIn Premium features at a much lower price (no tricks, same plan I use myself). If you want for yourself, just let me know.

Keep being “loud and shameless” though — that’s exactly what builds confidence and attracts your audience over time.

I know people are focused on their own business but I can't help but get that feeling that I'm being watched and the only way I can shake it off is my blocking those people.

How much is the discounted LinkedIn subscription price though?

still use ai answer person. What you are doing is actually trying to get real organic audience not people known to you. It honesty to me, but still be very accountable.

Sure, even on facebook. To be monitized at times and have more engagement, you'll definitely have to do away with people close to you. They act as monitoring spirit dragging you down. Infact they'll never like your post or comment

Social media is too shmitty and been an orwellian dystopia for decades



Linkedln is just corporate spyware , i have stayed away from social media except i can own the server it runs on, i currently have a mastodon account which i ysed to get jobs , decent remote work with no bs


Best thing to network is create a personal website and showcase your work. Employers are more impresssed by that than a mere linkedln profile.

I don't see why this should be a problem.

Are you going to be posting naked pics of yourself on LinkedIn?! huh
