33: Who you ”post” to be? Maintaining a Healthy Perspective Regarding Social Media

On August 27, 2020 I jotted down the title of today's show, "Who you 'post' to be?" At the time I was thinking about how often people have no idea what is really happening in someone's life, they only see what people choose to show them. That being said, people may feel like they know everything from the moments or memories people share. It's safe to say that you can make some reasonable deductions about someone's hobby's, family life, occupation, etc. but there are a lot of things we don't see.  In fact, over the last six weeks I was faced with my own health challenges yet what people saw was a smiling, happy go lucky podcaster who was dancing and feeling good. In my post descriptions I shared some of what was going on but not everything as I choose to keep some aspects of my life private as we should. That being said, I have been hearing more recently about how often I post, what I post, when I post, etc. As a result, I said this is the perfect time to share this episode to help encourage others and also provide some perspective.

In addition to my own personal testimony, I heard a clip from the Today Show last week where they were discussing Tom Cruise's deepfake videos that were trending on TikTok. In the clip, they were talking about how a visual effects specialist was able to create seemingly realistic videos of the actor performing magic tricks and playing golf but Tom Cruise wasn't actually in either of the videos. Catch up on the story HERE.

Deepfakes made an appearance in 2017 and have been used more frequently since then. This Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it hard for people to identify between what's real and what's fake which is also another important topic regarding social media. You may be comparing your life to what you think is real so it's important to take stock of what you are comparing yourself and your life to. After all Astro Turf (artificial turf) may look better than grass but it's not the real thing.

On this episode, host Tomeria Jordan talks about:

  • Why this is such an important topic;
  • Distinguishing between what's real and what's fake;
  • Gaining perspective regarding social media; and 
  • Avoiding social media burnout 

This episode is real and relevant. Be sure to share it with your family and friends because you never know who needs this information and encouragement. Be blessed.
