00:00:00 --> 00:00:27 Music.
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31 Episode of Talk To Me Michelle. I am your host Michelle with 1L.
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35 Everybody I hope you guys are doing well. Getting ready for the holidays to
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39 buckle down with family friends. Maybe do a solo holiday. However you celebrate.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42 Just be careful and be stress-free.
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 I want to tap on that a little bit because you know sometimes we
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49 bring our own stress into our own lives and
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 it got me to thinking about how people move on
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 social media because you know in today's digital age
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 the line between being authentic and over
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 sharing it's been blurred and platforms
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06 they usually encourage us to be real and vulnerable but sharing sometimes can
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11 have its consequences especially when it's unresolved personal issues online
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16 that leads to a whole bunch of consequences not to see too many people putting
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20 too much business of their own in these digital streets.
00:01:20 --> 00:01:26 When vulnerability can foster a connection, oversharing often leaves us exposed
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29 to judgment, misunderstanding, and harm.
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32 This leaves us very little room for personal growth.
00:01:32 --> 00:01:39 Now, why should this matter? This matters because when people share things prematurely,
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42 you understand that you're interrupting your own healing process,
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 because that is part of the healing process.
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49 It's making personal struggles feel more performative than reflective.
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 And I see that a lot online.
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55 People who claim that they are, you know, suffering with a certain condition.
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 And the next thing you know, they, you know, live in their best life.
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 But also the internet remembers everything.
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07 It's like an elephant's memory. And sometimes, you know, in the moment that
00:02:07 --> 00:02:12 you're having, that can resurface years later down the line,
00:02:12 --> 00:02:17 and that could be damaging to your credibility or even personal relationships.
00:02:17 --> 00:02:23 Seeking validation from a vast impersonal audience, that leads to people feeling
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27 inadequate and they amplify these existing insecurities online,
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30 especially if the feedback is negative or dismissive.
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34 Keep in mind, you are going to take a personal risk when you share a little too much online.
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38 You're opening yourself up to emotional vulnerability.
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43 When you share deep personal experiences online, you're opening a whole door
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 that you don't realize you're opening.
00:02:45 --> 00:02:50 You're going to be open to judgment, being misunderstood, even criticized.
00:02:50 --> 00:02:55 And people often expect empathy, but they encounter, you know, the worst.
00:02:55 --> 00:03:00 The harsh comments, the trolling, you know, opinions that were not asked for.
00:03:00 --> 00:03:07 Prime example is a celebrity that is a plus size and going through a weight loss journey.
00:03:07 --> 00:03:12 Every time you turn around, people were making jokes and tagging and everything else.
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16 And of course, the weight loss journey is successful. But at the same time,
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20 when you go through that type of journey and you have people that are trying
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25 to distract you, they may say mean things to make themselves feel better or fit in with the crowd.
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29 So I think those type of journeys, I like the before and after approach.
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32 You'll see me after I do what I need to do.
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37 Keep in mind that you are leaving permanent digital footprints when you do something like that.
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43 The Internet never forgets whatever you post, the videos, even the comments.
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46 They can be archived and resurface unexpectedly.
00:03:46 --> 00:03:51 You know, this will impact your career, relationships or even your reputation.
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56 Even if you want to go apply for a job or you want to have a business and you
00:03:56 --> 00:04:02 need business partners. Strangers can even use this content to form a biased opinion about you.
00:04:03 --> 00:04:08 We always hear about these viral tweets about a breakup and it resurfaces years
00:04:08 --> 00:04:13 later. So that harms somebody else's chances in a professional setting.
00:04:13 --> 00:04:18 When you also overshare, you must understand that you are lacking of boundaries
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22 because when you overshare, you're inviting people to weigh in,
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26 even when their advice is unhelpful or inappropriate.
00:04:26 --> 00:04:31 And over time, it's going to create a habit of seeking validation from strangers
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35 instead of being around people that you trust, trusted, good,
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 authentic networks of support.
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41 And people may not realize this, but this oversharing also contributes to a
00:04:41 --> 00:04:46 community risk because we're creating this culture of performances.
00:04:47 --> 00:04:52 You know, I'm just saying, because when you overshare, it does reward you with
00:04:52 --> 00:04:56 engagement. but it also leads other people to start mimicking this behavior
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00 and fostering a cycle of performance over a genuine connection.
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04 Everybody you may meet online is not the same offline.
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08 And that's why you can get a little leery when you're trying to make a personal
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11 connection. And you don't know if you're really meeting the real them or if they're performing.
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17 Unfortunately, we now have a society that is normalizing trauma dumping.
00:05:17 --> 00:05:23 You know, just the term alone, that lets you know that you're sharing unprocessed,
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27 intense emotions without considering the emotional impact on others.
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32 And we're not even having these solutions or safe spaces to really get something off your chest.
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35 But these stories can overwhelm people in the audience.
00:05:35 --> 00:05:41 And you wonder why there are so many people performing. So many people that
00:05:41 --> 00:05:46 have so much trauma, instead of getting the therapy they may need and getting
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 the help they may need, they're online talking about it.
00:05:49 --> 00:05:55 Now, we do have to face the backlash that comes with oversharing because you
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00 may regret it at some time later on in your life because you might be like an
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04 influencer and you decide, OK, I'm going through a divorce.
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07 Let me go ahead and share with the world this divorce process,
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09 you know, the good, the bad, the ugly.
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14 But you're going to later express this regret when your kids are now grown and
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 they can pull up all this stuff that you put online.
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21 What are you going to tell your kids at that point? I just don't understand
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25 why people have to air their dirty draws out online.
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28 There's also misinterpretation of the intent.
00:06:29 --> 00:06:34 If social media, you're a user on there, and you share something that's vulnerable
00:06:34 --> 00:06:41 about mental health And you receive accusations of attention seeking or you're exaggerating.
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45 I've seen moments like that online where people are using.
00:06:45 --> 00:06:51 I have a problem and this is what I'm doing, but you're not getting the help you need.
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55 And exploitation, because you put yourself out there enough.
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00 Scammers are always out there. You know, scammers or abusers who target individuals
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04 who have revealed financial or emotional vulnerabilities online.
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07 They take advantage of your openness.
00:07:07 --> 00:07:14 I will never forget when my mom passed, I had so many supposed spiritual people.
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17 You know, your loved one has a message for you.
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21 And I was like, y'all kick rocks. Because I know if my mama had a message for
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 me, she wouldn't use your raggedy ass.
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27 Now, please understand the Internet is not therapy.
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31 It is not a therapist because the lack of context.
00:07:31 --> 00:07:36 You have to realize online platforms offer bite sized formats.
00:07:36 --> 00:07:42 We got tweets. We got short videos or captions that strips away any nuisance
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 of the complexity of personal stories.
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50 Audiences often misunderstand the intent and oversimplify the issue.
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55 So what we're doing is that we're offering solutions that don't align with the actual problem.
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59 Let's just say you're having a day that you're just feeling burned out.
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02 So you go ahead and make a post. I'm feeling burnt out.
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 But instead of the empathy that you think you're going to get,
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09 you know, they'll tell you, you know, you just need to go ahead and take a vacation.
00:08:09 --> 00:08:14 You know, you need to do this. You need to go have a drink. So that's missing
00:08:14 --> 00:08:19 the deeper concerns like depression and other issues that you might be going through at the moment.
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23 Let me go even deeper because I've seen this so many times and I get tired of
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26 all these heifers that are always around trying to help folks.
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29 Please understand anything online.
00:08:30 --> 00:08:34 Empathy and expertise is limited. It is limited.
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40 But you get into a situation where there's online audiences and they do range
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43 from people who mean well to people who are trolls.
00:08:43 --> 00:08:49 And few possess the emotional intelligence or qualifications to offer any meaningful support.
00:08:50 --> 00:08:56 I've seen people turn to, I can't be detailed because folks will know who I'm talking about.
00:08:56 --> 00:09:01 But I'm just saying I've seen some people who have lived a lifestyle and still
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05 doing nonsense in their life, but they got all the expertise in the world.
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06 Talk to you any kind of way.
00:09:06 --> 00:09:12 So that's a prime example. These people are not experts and they pretty much
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 want to shine the spotlight off of your trauma.
00:09:15 --> 00:09:20 So support may come in forms of generic advice and some people may even give
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21 you harmful suggestions.
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 So that's going to leave you feeling worse than better.
00:09:24 --> 00:09:29 This illusion of care can discourage people from seeking professional help.
00:09:29 --> 00:09:34 That's why I hate all these people who be in the mix for the moment and they
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 think that they're, you know, helping somebody. No, you're not.
00:09:37 --> 00:09:41 They can't get help from you because you're not a licensed specialist or anything.
00:09:41 --> 00:09:47 Let them go outside this online atmosphere and get the help they really need.
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50 The issue with anonymity, because
00:09:50 --> 00:09:54 you also have a mixture of trolls and cyberbullying that's taking place.
00:09:54 --> 00:10:00 So on platforms, they enable individuals to lash out with any accountability.
00:10:00 --> 00:10:07 This happens daily. They're targeting vulnerable users who share personal struggles.
00:10:07 --> 00:10:12 There have been people online, and God rest their soul, that have unlived themselves
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14 due to this type of trauma online.
00:10:14 --> 00:10:21 So hurtful, malicious comments, they can amplify these insecurities that that
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24 person is going through and derail the healing process.
00:10:24 --> 00:10:30 Let's just say a TikTok creator creates their grief over a recent loss and they
00:10:30 --> 00:10:35 only get back cruel comments like attention seeker or move on already.
00:10:35 --> 00:10:40 Do you understand the emotions you're already going through and you're being
00:10:40 --> 00:10:44 authentic about your loss and you got all these folks coming to you sideways
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46 about, you know, just mourning out loud?
00:10:46 --> 00:10:51 Now, we already lack this as humans as it is, but online it is so much worse.
00:10:51 --> 00:10:57 And that's the lack of accountability, because users may offer extreme or reckless
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59 advice without facing any consequences.
00:10:59 --> 00:11:04 So you're leaving people who overshare exposed to potential harm.
00:11:04 --> 00:11:10 You know, the vulnerable users may internalize harmful narratives or feel invalidated.
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14 So that's why I wish people who don't have nothing to say that's going to be
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17 positive, whether they're attention seeking or if they're going through something.
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 Y'all just need to keep your opinion to yourself.
00:11:20 --> 00:11:25 Now, do you want to have well-being or do you really need that type of engagement?
00:11:25 --> 00:11:30 I mean, because social media, they prioritize content that sparks reactions,
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33 not the content that fosters genuine connection or healing.
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38 Think about that. The next time you scroll, what do you see more of in your feed?
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42 Even though you may not be a fan of whatever it is, but you'll probably see
00:11:42 --> 00:11:46 more of that toxic nonsense in your feed versus the positive stuff that you need to see.
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50 Vulnerable posts often gain traction due to the shock value.
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55 That's all it is. You know, but the platform does not protect the creator from the aftermath.
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58 That's the thing. So let me put something up that's popping.
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02 It's controversial, but even though it's doing the platform good,
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 I may take the heat behind that post.
00:12:06 --> 00:12:12 And when personal content goes viral, the original poster may lose control of
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13 the original narrative.
00:12:13 --> 00:12:18 I'm telling you, how many times have we seen one photo posted?
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22 Everybody makes the assumption it's some type of situation and it's not.
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26 But see, by the time you even get the truth halfway out, comments,
00:12:26 --> 00:12:33 people didn't remix the video, and that distorts and ridicules the experience overall.
00:12:33 --> 00:12:37 Even if you have something happen to the real because how many times do you
00:12:37 --> 00:12:43 see news media going after celebrities and if they catch them in a certain light
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44 certain you know setting,
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48 they're going to just make assumptions at first until something is confirmed
00:12:48 --> 00:12:53 but it's already been shown so you just said something and it's put in people's
00:12:53 --> 00:12:58 minds so they run with that so I don't mind sharing but let's go about it the
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02 healthy way because you need to start having healthy sharing practices.
00:13:02 --> 00:13:08 I first would prefer y'all to work through issues privately versus publicly
00:13:08 --> 00:13:14 because when you're sharing before you fully process your emotions and it hinders
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18 you because you're already half-baked. I'm just saying it as it is.
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23 You're half-baked but you're going to hinder your personal growth and your healing by doing that.
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27 So consider journaling instead, speaking with trusted people,
00:13:27 --> 00:13:32 your friends, your family, even a therapist. I highly recommend therapy.
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35 But I find when you write about your feelings in the journal,
00:13:35 --> 00:13:41 it helps you clarify your thoughts and your emotions without the pressure of public feedback.
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46 And before you post, you want to ask yourself, why am I sharing this?
00:13:46 --> 00:13:50 You really ask yourself a question. Why am I sharing this?
00:13:50 --> 00:13:56 What am I hoping to gain from this? Is this the right platform to share this story on?
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59 So you want to also avoid the details of the situation.
00:13:59 --> 00:14:03 That's going to also make a bigger impact with future relationships,
00:14:03 --> 00:14:08 your online reputation, your reputation offline and personal safety.
00:14:08 --> 00:14:13 Now, if you must vent and everybody needs a place to vent, I understand that.
00:14:14 --> 00:14:19 Use a three day rule. So that's waiting three days after an emotional event
00:14:19 --> 00:14:23 to decide if it's even worth sharing publicly.
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26 Because by the time you think about it, you didn't got over it.
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28 It's not even worth sharing at that point.
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33 So you can still live your best online life, but you got to look for the safe
00:14:33 --> 00:14:39 spaces. Like when I go online, there are certain lives of people that are hosting that I go in.
00:14:39 --> 00:14:44 And sometimes I like to stay in the audience and just enjoy the foolishness
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47 going on and a good conversation taking place.
00:14:47 --> 00:14:52 So look for those safe spaces that are designed to offer support without any judgment.
00:14:52 --> 00:14:57 And they also have private forums, support groups, or moderated social media
00:14:57 --> 00:15:01 groups are also available so nobody gets disrespectful.
00:15:01 --> 00:15:05 And these environments often have guidelines and they ensure that you're going
00:15:05 --> 00:15:10 to have good interactions, no discouraging trolling.
00:15:10 --> 00:15:14 And I know I'm part of a lot of Facebook groups and I do that mainly for business
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16 networking and marketing.
00:15:16 --> 00:15:21 And a nine times out of 10, I got to answer several questions and agree with
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23 a terms before I join. That's a prime example.
00:15:24 --> 00:15:29 And I need people to put these issues in the hands of professionals.
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33 Seek a professional to get the help over getting public validation.
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35 You need to go to therapy.
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39 You need to get somebody that's going to consult you or support hotlines to
00:15:39 --> 00:15:43 provide tools that process and heal tailored to these individual needs.
00:15:44 --> 00:15:49 And public validation may feel comforting at first, but it rarely addresses
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52 the root of the issue. Sometimes it makes it worse.
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56 But a therapist, they can guide you through the grief in a constructive way.
00:15:56 --> 00:16:02 But a public post, that's going to lead to more overwhelming or unhelpful responses.
00:16:03 --> 00:16:08 Now, I can't blame the people alone who overshare because as an audience,
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09 we got to take some responsibility too.
00:16:10 --> 00:16:14 Because sometimes we can encourage the oversharing just for the sake of the
00:16:14 --> 00:16:19 entertainment. so I don't want to engage by commenting or engaging in ways that's
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22 going to be harmful and going to make the situation worse.
00:16:23 --> 00:16:28 Like if people keep on digging, a person's in a vulnerable state and you keep
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29 on digging for more details.
00:16:29 --> 00:16:34 Or when this happened, or when they do that, you keep on digging to make it
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37 worse. So you got to engage thoughtfully.
00:16:37 --> 00:16:42 If you feel compelled to respond, I need y'all to offer some words of encouragement,
00:16:42 --> 00:16:47 Give them some resources, but don't be giving no unsolicited advice.
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52 And sometimes the best response is none. Silence can respect someone's need
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55 to share without opening them up to being critiqued.
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59 Now, if you feel the need to comment, you know, show a little empathy.
00:16:59 --> 00:17:05 You know, I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you have the support you need. Show empathy.
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07 That way you're not overstepping any boundaries.
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11 Keep in mind the Internet can be a powerful tool for connection,
00:17:11 --> 00:17:17 advocacy, support, but it's not designed to protect your deepest vulnerable states.
00:17:17 --> 00:17:22 Not every aspect of your personal life, especially if you've got some unresolved
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24 struggles, that don't belong in public.
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27 It don't belong in public. It's unregulated space.
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32 Now, oversharing isn't a character flaw. It's actually a learned behavior because
00:17:32 --> 00:17:37 we're in a digital age that rewards us, supposedly, of being open.
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41 But you have to also understand the risks and setting boundaries that's going
00:17:41 --> 00:17:47 to protect your emotional well-being. So let's encourage to prioritize our mental
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50 health over online validation.
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54 Because if you do post something, is this something I've worked through?
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59 And will sharing this benefit me or others in a meaningful way?
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03 Because what I like to do, if I'm going to post something online,
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04 I try to keep it positive.
00:18:05 --> 00:18:10 I try to keep it funny. But you also have to keep in mind, most of the healing
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14 that you need takes place offline. These are private moments that you need to
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18 have in therapy or intimate conversations with people you trust.
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21 It's cool to get likes, you know, it's cool to get comments,
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23 but you don't need to be validated by that.
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26 That's only going to make you feel good temporarily.
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31 But in long term growth, it comes from nurturing yourself and setting your boundaries.
00:18:32 --> 00:18:37 So how can we all work this out together? I am going to challenge everybody
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40 to do a couple of things. First, pause before you post.
00:18:41 --> 00:18:45 Ask yourself if something you'll be comfortable seeing years from now.
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48 That should help make up your mind whether it's worth posting or not.
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52 But you also want to consume content responsibly.
00:18:52 --> 00:18:57 Don't get involved with these engagement with posts that are encouraging people
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59 to overshare for a form of entertainment.
00:18:59 --> 00:19:05 Remember, the Internet isn't entirely bad. It's just not the safest space for unresolved struggles.
00:19:05 --> 00:19:10 And by reflecting before you share, prioritizing personal growth and seeking
00:19:10 --> 00:19:15 out healthier ways to connect, we can protect our well-being while still being authentic.
00:19:16 --> 00:19:19 Don't forget, it's OK to keep some things private because, like I said,
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21 that's where the best healing takes place.
00:19:21 --> 00:19:29 Not everything needs to be a post or a story. Healing happens in your own time, your own space.
