When Silence Isn't Golden: The Social Media Trap of Judging Relationships by One-Sided Narratives
Let me explain further. Essentially, some couples create content together and share aspects of their lives on various social platforms. Most of them have amassed a large following and enjoy widespread adoration, despite the presence of people who do not like them. When a problem arises in their relationship or marriage and they decide to split, people notice and begin to ask questions, which is normal given that they share their lives on social media. Sometimes they choose to remain silent, but occasionally one party may decide to speak out. The internet often assumes the person who speaks out is the one with the problem, which isn't always true.
There are various levels of wickedness and manipulation, and a person's silence does not necessarily indicate their innocence or goodness. Silence is golden, but not in all cases. The same world that says silence is golden also says a closed mouth is a closed destiny. Some people feel so hurt that they need to speak out, while others are able to remain silent, heal, or carry the pain all their lives. There is no rule stating that the person who remains silent has fewer problems.
Social media has pushed this narrative for a long time, and I just felt the need to write about it. Some manipulations are nonverbal explanations and require physical presence to fully comprehend, as not all injuries result in visible bruises. Some come with silence and disrespect.
Some individuals who have experienced significant hurt in their relationships find it challenging to discuss their experiences, as others either cannot relate or tend to downplay them. This is why some people choose to remain silent. While silence is golden, never think that the person who speaks out is the problem. This could potentially be the beginning of their journey toward healing and releasing that burden. This could also serve as a path to liberation, symbolizing the conclusion of an unwanted phase in their lives. Remember, you didn't witness the beginning and process of any story on social media before you supported it.
Why did I write this post? I shared this post as a response to a couple on Instagram who had been creating amusing videos together but abruptly stopped and ended their relationship. One person spoke about the situation online, while the other has moved on and chosen to get married again within a year. However, some have suggested that her decision to open up about her marriage online and her partner's choice to remain silent indicate that he is mature and not the problem, a notion that may not always hold true.
I wonder if people realize that the person who truly knows a partner is often not their family or friends, but rather the woman or man they are in a relationship with or married to. It's mind-boggling how social media establishes unrealistic expectations, leading to superficial judgments and assumptions about people's knowledge of situations they are unfamiliar with. This can be more or less than you perceive, so always keep in mind that you don't know these people. You are just a viewer.
What do you think about this narrative?

...silence is not appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! It's wild how social media makes us think we know everything about a couple just from a few cute pics. Like, you never really know what someone's going through behind the scenes. Silence doesn't mean they're okay, and speaking out doesn't make them the bad guy. Thanks for sharing this perspective! x

Right?! Social media can make everything look so perfect, but there’s so much that goes unseen. Those snapshots are just tiny pieces of a much bigger story, and they rarely tell the full truth. I totally agree—just because someone doesn’t speak up doesn’t mean they’re fine, and speaking out doesn’t mean they’re in the wrong. Thanks for getting it! x
DeleteI do agree with you. Nobody can know what kind of partner someone is if they're not the other half in that partnership/relationship/marriage. While it is true that sometimes people treat their partner in a similar way they do everyone, it's not possible to make generalizations. Someone can be a horrible person to everyone, but nice to their partner. Someone can be wonderful to everyone, but abusive to their partner. Many people wear masks, but at home those masks usually fall off. Someone might appear very strict and cold, but be a wonderful supportive partner. Someone might appear very friendly, but actually be toxic. We cannot judge until we really know someone. Even when we know someone, we cannot know what they are like in a marriage or relationship. A woman can be a wonderful sister, aunt, boss, mother, cousin, friend or whatever but a bad wife or girlfriend. Similarly, a man can be a great father, brother, uncle but be a toxic husband or boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, people often assume one spouse is guilty for everything, when sometimes people are just not compatible. Sometimes the fault lies somewhere in between, sometimes people are just not right one for another. Honestly, I don't understand people who are too invested in other people's relationship. I always want to ask them: Why are you so emotionally attached to people you don't even know?
Couldn’t agree more with your take! Relationships are so layered, and what we see from the outside is only a fraction of the full story. People’s public sides can be totally different from how they show up in private, and like you said, compatibility is such a huge factor. Sometimes it's not about who’s 'at fault' but just a matter of two people not being right for each other. And honestly, the way people get so invested in other people’s relationships can be a bit puzzling! Why do we put so much energy into lives that aren’t ours? Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful perspective.
DeleteThis is so true, Melody, that with social media, we can be too quick to judge someone when we certainly aren't familiar with the entire story. How sad is that? It's one of the many reasons I ditched Facebook ages ago. I don't see here, though, how to subscribe to your blog. Am I missing something? Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this, and I totally get why you left Facebook—it’s easy to feel weighed down by all the assumptions and quick judgments there. Social media can be such a double-edged sword! And you’re not missing anything on the subscribe front; I’m still working on getting that set up. I’ll make sure to share an update soon, so stay tuned. You can subcribe using the google follow tool which can be found at the right side of the blog.
DeleteSocial media distort reality, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's the worst? When you know well both sides, you take part in their lives and both treat you like a sounding board. ;p
Ahh, yes! Being caught in the middle like that is so tricky—it’s like getting front-row seats to both sides of the story, whether you want them or not! 😂 Social media already skews things enough, and then when you know the real-life version, it’s even crazier to see how different things can look. You’re a true trooper for being the sounding board!
DeletePeople tend to share too much on social media - even blogs.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your post.
Thank you! And you’re right—sometimes it’s easy to forget where to draw the line online. Sharing can be great for connection, but keeping some things private is just as important. Glad you enjoyed the post!
DeleteHola buenas tardes Melody, bueno voy a dar con tu permiso mi punto de vista sobre este tipo de relaciones publicadas en redes sociales.
ReplyDeleteEn primer lugar, cada uno es libre de subir a sus redes sociales su vida en solitario o en pareja, pero que luego no se quejen de que los demás comentan y cuestionan sus entradas, eso sí, siempre con respeto.
Conocer a una persona es muy difícil, aun estando toda una vida con ella / o él son desconocidos.
Soy de la opinión que un ser humano son muchos dentro de un mismo cuerpo, todo depende quién esté a nuestro lado.
Podemos ser buenos amigos, pero malos compañeros de vida. Podemos ser buenas madres, pero malas parejas, nadie es bueno en todas las facetas de la vida.
Luego está que uno puede amar a otro, y ser correspondido; sin embargo, ser incompatible en la convivencia, de eso hay mucho, y no por ello es que sean malas personas ambos, simplemente se atraen, se desean, pero a la hora de convivir no se soportan, en este caso es cuando son parejas tóxicas, y no es culpa de ninguno, tan solo no se dan cuentan que el amor y el deseo no son suficientes para vivir una vida en común.
Respecto cuando se dejan quien habla primero y quien calla, son caracteres del individuo, ello no denota el daño sufrido, cada cual lo llevara a su modo y manera.
Creo que hay cosas que no se deben publicar, se deben quedar entre la pareja, no me gusta ver cuando una pareja se separa, que hable mal de la otra, y menos en redes sociales, simplemente por el tiempo en común, que vivieron juntos y se amaron, deberían respetar los instantes compartidos.
En definitiva, al ser humano es complicado conocerle, somos cambiantes y, por tanto, evolucionamos para bien o a veces para mal.
Un beso y muy feliz tarde -noche.
Good afternoon, and thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful perspective! You bring up some great points, especially about how complex people are and how relationships are often much more layered than they appear. It’s true that love and attraction aren’t always enough for a strong partnership, and sometimes the differences come down to compatibility in day-to-day life rather than either person being 'at fault.'
DeleteI completely agree that respect should come first, especially in the way we handle relationship challenges—both in private and in what we choose to share publicly. Even if a relationship ends, it’s important to honor the good moments and keep certain things just between the people involved. Relationships are complicated, and like you said, we’re all evolving, learning, and growing over time. Thanks again for your insights, and wishing you a wonderful afternoon too!
Melody, you wrote a very interesting post. Your words make the reader think. Your words are true.
ReplyDeleteI salute you and I wish you a good Sunday!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really glad the post resonated with you and got you thinking—that's always the goal. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
DeleteInteresante reflexión. Hay mucho que plantearse en relación con las redes socuales y las personas. Es importante planteárselo.
ReplyDeleteBuen domingo
Thank you! Social networks really do give us a lot to think about when it comes to how we connect and understand each other. I’m glad you found the reflection interesting.
DeleteApreciei devidamente o seu texto publicado hoje. Concordo com o que diz e verifico que tem conhecimentos sobre o tema. A vida conjugal é muito difícil.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad the post resonated with you. Marriage definitely has its challenges, and it’s a topic with so many layers. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
DeleteThis is why I don't follow influencers online. I don't actually care about people's personal lives. I know, weird. Like, in TV and movies, I don't much care about the actors' lives. I don't want to know what they do in their day to day. Keep me informed of the stories they show on TV. The fiction. The rest of it? Nah. I don't care, and I don't want to know.
ReplyDeleteI totally get that! It’s not weird at all—everyone has different preferences when it comes to consuming content. Many people just want to enjoy the stories without the behind-the-scenes drama. Sometimes, the real-life details can take away from the art itself. It’s refreshing to hear someone who values the fiction over the personal lives of those involved! Thanks for sharing your perspective!
DeleteGostei da narrativa e do seu ponto de vista. Não tenho redes sociais, por vários motivos. Gosto de remeter-me ao silêncio e ter o meu mundo.
ReplyDeleteBom fim de semana.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback, and it’s great to hear you’re comfortable with your own space away from social media. There’s definitely something to be said for enjoying a quieter, more personal world. Wishing you a lovely week.
DeleteCon ello queda claro, que se debe tenr mucho cuidado con lo que compartes en red...hay que ser precavido, hay demasiada mala interpretación...
ReplyDeleteMucho no se del fondo del tema de ese tipo, porque no sigo a personas que dan a concoer así su vida...pero me gsuta compartir fotos en especial y bueno mis escritos.
Un saludos y buena semana para ti.
Absolutely! Being mindful of what we share online is so important, especially with how easily things can be misinterpreted. It's great that you enjoy sharing your photos and writings in a more personal way! That can be such a fulfilling form of expression. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI tend to keep my private life quiet, I do love to blog about my outings and trips.
Not sure for my blogging friends but my posts are memory keepers for me and my hubby.
Everyone has their own ideas about social media, how much they feel comfortable sharing.
Take care, have a great weekend.
For me, I really enjoy blogging more than using social media apps like Instagram, Facebook, and most especially Twitter. I mean, in my years of using both, I have learned more valuable things from blogging and other bloggers, and there seem to be people in the blogging world putting out even more valuable contents than just trying to show off. So, using your blog to document memories is a truly meaningful approach. It’s true that everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to sharing on social media, and that’s perfectly okay! I love that you’ve found a way to make it personal and special for you and your husband. Take care, and enjoy your week!
DeleteSocial media is complicated and I usually keep my private life to myself...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, social media can be really complex. It’s totally understandable to want to keep your private life private—it allows for more peace of mind and authenticity. Finding that balance is key!
Delete¡Hola, Melody! El problema es que, como espectador, las personas que comparten contenido te están dando permiso para que juzgues lo que hacen. Eso sí, creo que siempre se debe mantener el respeto a la hora de opinar.
ReplyDeleteSi esos creadores de contenidos se mantienen, es precisamente gracias a todos los que los siguen. Tienes razón en que no por mantenerse en silencio una de las partes es mejor que la otra, de hecho, acepto que vender tu vida no significa que lo tengas que contar todo, pero sí que te expones a que te pregunten.
Pero te doy la razón en que realmente no conocemos a esas personas, lo único que vemos es la faceta suya que nos quieren mostrar.
¡Saludos y buen post! ;-)
Hi! You make some excellent points! Sharing content does open the door for opinions and judgments, and it’s so important to approach those with respect. I completely agree that the dynamic between creators and their audience is complex—followers play a significant role in their visibility. And yes, the curated images and stories don’t give us the full picture of who they are.
DeleteHell yeah, so very true
ReplyDeleteRight?! It’s amazing how many people feel the same way. Sometimes it just takes a little honesty to recognize the reality of social media. Glad you’re on the same page!
DeleteI gave up social media sites, too much negativity and meanness.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand! Social media can definitely be a breeding ground for negativity and drama. Taking a step back can be a healthy choice for your well-being. It’s great that you found what works best for you! How are you finding life without it?
DeleteCada persona es un mundo. las redes sociales solo juzgan las apariencias. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI have never imagined myself as a world on its own, and I am glad you gave me something to ponder about. I appreciate the perspective you expressed in your comment. Social networks often focus on surface-level appearances, missing the depth of who a person really is. Each individual has their own unique story that goes far beyond what we see online. Thanks for sharing your insight!
DeleteQuerida amiga, muy interesante tu post, no tengo tiempo para redes sociales, pero siempre hay que cuidarse de las cosas que uno deja. me encanto tu mensaje.
ReplyDeleteAbrazos y te dejo un besito, que tengas un feliz fin de semana
It’s definitely wise to be cautious about what we share online, especially when time is precious. Wishing you a wonderful week.
DeleteHi Melody, Your post raises some very thoughtful points about the complexities of sharing a relationship online. When couples create content together, viewers often feel a connection to their lives and assume they know the full story, yet so much happens behind the scenes that we’ll never see. When breakups happen, people feel entitled to answers, but social media only gives a snapshot, not the whole picture. Thank you for sharing. Always a pleasure stopping by your blog. John
ReplyDeleteHi John! I appreciate your thoughtful response! I always enjoy reading your comments on my blog. You're absolutely right—social media can create a false sense of intimacy, making it simple for viewers to think they know everything about a couple's relationship. It's true that when breakups happen, people often want to know the details, but those snapshots only reveal a tiny part of the story. Thank you for taking the time to engage with my post; it's always wonderful to have you here! Looking forward to your next visit!
DeleteOlá, querida amiga Melody!
ReplyDeleteEm primeiro lugar, quero lhe parabenizar pelos excelentes comentários que tece em meus posts.
Percebo que lê, de fato.
A temática de hoje é muito atual.
Tenho redes sociais algumas, mas não me escravizam.
Vivo a realidade com minha família e amigos reais...
O olho no olho e o diálogo não tem igual.
Tenha dias abençoados!
Beijinhos
It’s great to hear that you maintain a healthy balance with social media and prioritize real-life connections. Nothing beats face-to-face conversations! Wishing you blessed days as well. Kisses back to you!
DeleteSome people feel the need to share things about their lives more than others, maybe the need for attention or it is a coping thing. while others decide to keep it to themselves and work through it all in private, I don't think either is really bad, just how you need to work it through,.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Everyone has their own way of processing life’s ups and downs, and it’s important to respect those differences. Some find comfort in sharing their experiences, while others prefer to keep things private. Both approaches can be valid—it all comes down to what works best for each individual. But people who see should remember that people who view tend to create a false sense of intimacy, making it simple for viewers to think they know everything about them. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
DeleteMuch to think about. Thank you
ReplyDeleteLife isn't what social media pretends it to be. Actual living together is a very demanding thing. A lot of mutual understanding and adjustments are called for. But anyway people are free to produce sweet video programs and promote them on social media.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Social media often showcases a highlight reel that doesn’t reflect the reality of daily life, especially in relationships. Living together truly requires effort, understanding, and compromise. While it’s great that people can share their creative content, it’s essential to remember that real life is often much messier and more complex than what we see online. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
DeleteLiving with a person 24x7 is an entirely different matter from shooting video clips. Coexistence demands mutual understanding and empathy, readiness to compromise...
ReplyDeleteExactly! Coexisting with someone full-time involves so much more than what we see in those curated clips. It requires genuine understanding, empathy, and a willingness to navigate challenges together. Social media often fails to capture the compromises and deep conversations that characterize daily life. Another reason for the failure of many relationships is people's tendency to mistake what others share for authenticity, overlooking the fact that it's a beautiful journey that requires effort! Thanks for sharing your insight!
DeleteWitaj Melody 🙂
ReplyDeleteNiestety media społecznościowe tak często pokazują idealne życie, świat danej osoby czy osób że człowiek zatraca się w tym i jednocześnie nie może zrozumieć dlaczego jego życie nie jest takie idealne.... dlatego gdy to społecznościowe idealne życie kogoś się rozpada,to pomimo że nie byliśmy w tym od początku jak to zauważyłaś w swoim wpisie chętnie i czasem bezwzględnie komentujemy i oceniamy te osoby. Dlatego ja jestem zdania, że należy bardzo uważać co się chce pokazać w sieci, bo tam nic nie ginie... Oczywiście ktoś może się z moim zdaniem nie zgodzić i ma do tego prawo, ale ja swojego zdania nie zmienie. Powinniśmy pamiętać że każdy ma prawo żyć tak jak chce bez tłumaczenia się dlaczego tak żyje.
Serdecznie Cię pozdrawiam i udanej niedzieli życzę 🥰
Hello! You’ve articulated this beautifully! Social media can create such a distorted view of reality, making it easy for people to compare themselves to those seemingly perfect lives. It’s true that when someone’s life doesn’t match that ideal, the judgment can come quickly, often without understanding the full story. I completely agree that being mindful about what we choose to share online is essential, as once it’s out there, it’s hard to take back. Everyone deserves the space to live their life without feeling the need to explain themselves. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
DeleteInteresting post Melody. Unfortunately if people overshare on social media, their followers believe their lives have become public property so they'll take one side over the other, and psychology says it'll be the person who's talking.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You bring up an important point. When people overshare on social media, it can create a sense of entitlement among followers to weigh in on their lives, often leading to biased judgments based on limited information. It’s interesting how psychology plays a role in this; those who speak up can often sway opinions, regardless of the full story.
DeleteIt’s so easy to jump to conclusions, but silence doesn’t always mean someone is innocent. Everyone deals with things differently, and we really don’t know the whole story.
ReplyDeleteSocial media definitely skews our perception of reality.
Absolutely! It’s so true that silence can be misleading, and we often assume we know what’s going on without the full context. Everyone processes their experiences in their own way, and social media can really distort our understanding of those situations. It’s a reminder to approach things with empathy and an open mind, rather than jumping to conclusions. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
DeleteVery true! It's easy to get the wrong perception of people on social media.
ReplyDeleteSocial media can create such a narrow view of someone's life.
Deletewitam💚
ReplyDeletebardzo interesujący post.. to wszystko prawda..
w mediach społecznościowych, za dużo jest negatywów i podłości.. media często wypaczają rzeczywistość..
każdy radzi sobie inaczej, nie każdy chroni swojej prywatności.. uważam, że nikt nie musi się tłumaczyć ze swojego życia..
- pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę dobrych dni 😊🍀🌞
Thank you for your kind words! I completely agree—social media can be a breeding ground for negativity, and it often presents a skewed version of reality. Everyone has their own way of coping, and privacy is so personal; no one should feel obligated to explain their choices, but when they share their life on social media, they should expect the pressure from their viewers and followers. I wish you a wonderful day, too!
DeleteI don't like other sosial media, only blogs.
ReplyDeleteThat's totally understandable! Blogs can offer a more personal and in-depth look at topics that interest you without the fast-paced negativity often found on other social media platforms. They allow for thoughtful discussion and connection. I haven't fully grasped the use of social media, despite sharing my photos and influential works. I wish I could limit my usage to my blog alone.
DeleteI share virtually no personal information on social media and my partner doesn't do any social media. I find it bizarre that so many people share really personal stuff online for total strangers to read.
ReplyDeleteThat makes a lot of sense! It’s definitely a personal choice, and keeping your private life off social media can provide a sense of security and peace. It is indeed surprising how some people are comfortable sharing intimate details of their lives with strangers online. Everyone has different boundaries, and it’s great that you and your partner have found what works best for you!
DeleteThanks a lot =)
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice that we eat potato salad every week <3 :D But in November we have a break, my father is visiting his family in Spain for 3 weeks and I'm in Mexiko for 12 days. The meals at the Glücksgefühle Festival were so delicious.
I wish you a nice week =)
Really great post, thanks for sharing.
I agree with you. I think social media makes your life easier to stay connected with everyone but it's also crazy how everything gets complicated too.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the post! You’re right—social media can definitely make it easier to stay connected, but it also brings its own set of challenges and complications. It’s all about finding that balance and being mindful of how we engage with it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
DeleteI'm sure it is hard enough going through a break up online with everyone not so positive comments. It's a personal choice, some prefer to just go away from the public eye and some prefer to speak to their followers and share their story.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Going through a breakup is tough enough without the added pressure of public scrutiny. It’s totally understandable that some people choose to retreat from the public eye while others may want to share their story for support or connection. Everyone handles their emotions differently, and it’s important to respect those choices. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
DeleteLas relaciones interpersonales pueden abordar la complicación de las experiencias cuando éstas son complejas. Yo creo que el silencio no debe significar una debilidad de quien calla, pero hablar sobre experiencias difíciles puede ser un acto de liberación, algo que se rompe como cáscara de huevo para salir y crecer, de ahí el valor del diálogo que en definitiva es lo liberador.
ReplyDeletePor otra parte siento que los que conocen bien a una persona no son sus familiares, sino aquellos que están en íntima relación con ella. Pero las redes sociales no alcanzan para conocer a alguien en profundidad, salvo luego de muchísimo tiempo, no niego nada ya que he conseguido bellas amistades e, inclusive, algunos bellos amores a partir de encuentros virtuales que luego se hicieron reales.
Tu texto es valioso ya que nos obliga a comprender a los demás en un momento donde todo se hace a través de las redes sociales que en este momento tienen un papel preponderante en nuestra percepción de los otros.
Gracias por pasar por mi blog porque así he conocido tu interesante sitio web y tu belleza personal.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and insightful response! I completely agree—silence doesn’t necessarily mean weakness; it can be a form of strength and self-preservation, especially when dealing with complex experiences. Dialogue, when it's the right time, can be incredibly liberating and help foster deeper connections.
DeleteYou’re also absolutely right that true understanding of someone goes beyond social networks—it’s the personal connections, the ones made through shared experiences, that really reveal who we are. Social media can give us a glimpse, but it’s the long-term relationships that truly shape our understanding of others.
I’m so glad my post resonated with you, and I appreciate your kind words about my blog. It’s been lovely connecting with you, and I look forward to reading more of your thoughts. Thank you for sharing!
This is a really important post! Sometimes, people think they know what a relationship is like just by how it looks on the outside - or based on what people choose to share on social media. But you are right that the only ones who really know what has happened are the ones in a relationship. Sometimes, it is good to remain silent, and other times, it is essential to speak up. It all depends on the situation. I found myself nodding along with this post, because you are so right: social media can lead people to make assumptions without all of the information.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your thoughtful comment! You’re absolutely right—social media often only shows a glimpse, and it’s easy to make assumptions without understanding the full picture. It’s important to know when to speak up and when silence is best. I’m glad the post resonated with you!
DeleteI think that social media doesn't always convey reality, especially when it comes to a couple's life. Most of what you see on social media are just moments, so you shouldn't create so many expectations or draw conclusions. You will never meet many of these people in person.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Social media only shows snippets of life, often selected to highlight the best moments. It’s easy to forget that there’s so much more going on behind the scenes. It’s important not to base expectations on those snapshots. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
DeleteGood points. As Rebecca said, social media does not convey reality.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Social media often highlights only certain moments, giving an incomplete picture of reality. It’s so important to remember that what we see online doesn’t always reflect the full story. Thanks for your input!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI liked the reflection you made in this post, very interesting! What is a fact is that we only know on social networks what the couple wants to show us, beyond social networks we do not know what the relationship is like, we know little about the relationship even though we think we know a lot! If someone decides to speak out at the end of the relationship, they're either very hurt or immature, nobody has to explain anything to anyone! But those who expose themselves so much on social media end up thinking they owe their followers an explanation! I think so! But I can also understand those who wish to remain silent. Knowing only one side of the story, I wouldn't be able to judge anyone! Hugs!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You’re absolutely right—social media only shows what people choose to share, and we can never fully know what a relationship is really like behind the posts. I agree that there’s no obligation to explain anything to anyone, but sometimes, social media can create that feeling of owing an explanation. It’s important to remember that we only see one side of the story, so judgment should be avoided.
DeleteHugs!
I 100% agree with. People only share what they want you to know on social media, and you do not know what goes on behind the screen. If a relationship goes sour and one of them shares their side of the story, they shouldn't be judged for speaking out.
ReplyDelete
