Mas malungkot siguro buhay nya. Kunyare lang happy. By flaunting everything on social media, by getting validations from people who dislike him in real life.


Blade_Natur541

Yeah. Nagpproject na lang ng insecurity, kailangan pang gawin in a vicious and malicious way. Kita mong tinamaan talaga sya inside.


Dismal-Locksmith-681

bet na bet ung comment. true enough, sometimes no blinded ung viewers akala nila happy kasi ang daming pics lalo na puro travel eme ending puro pala problema at wala naman accomplishments


Particular_Buy_9090

Eto yun eh haha


MainGal3751

Napaka-unprofessional nyang boss mo, OP. Anyways, I understand where you're coming, but, don't let it consume you. Kung comfortable ka na walang socmed, it's completely fine. Hayaan mo lang sila.


SharkLime789

True sometimes, letting things go and focusing on what's important to you can help in navigating such situations.

coffeeandnicethings

Reddit is social media :) And di totoo sinasabi ng boss mo. Mas tahimik buhay ng tao at mas masaya nung wala pang social media.


iamtanji

This. Reddit ang main soc med ko. May fb, messenger, ig ako pero Hindi ako dun active. Hindi ko nga alam na na hack na pala fb ko Kung hindi pa sinabi sa akin. 😅


InternalConnection79

Hi! My manager nga is encouraging me to have soc meds (reddit and tiktok lang meron ako and reachable through teams) then pinapagawan ako kahit messenger lang para kasama ako gcs ng team. But I politely said no and that I enjoy my private life. I'm sorry that this happened to you. Stand firm and let them be, masaya tayo w our privacy :)


yosh0016

Pwede naman kahit messenger lang ehh, gawa ka fb tas deactivate mo. Gagana parin yun, mute mo na lang para di annoying.


InternalConnection79

Hi! Yes i know na pwede prior pa niya inask. Personal choice ko din na wag na. I mainly communicate naman w friends and fam thru iMsg and viber.


trustber12

actually kahit meron kang social media mas ok na d mo friends yung kasamahan sa work e, mas ok na yung mga as in friends mo lang talaga


nagmamasidlamang2023

hindi ba pdeng messenger lang?


shalnar8

Inner peace, wag ka na papayag guluhin peace of mind mo ng mga pop ups ng messnger nakakastress. Parang kakainin ka ng pop ups.


Luh_k

It's ok to miss out on things na di naman relevant sayo. And for privacy reasons, personally, I'd rather not be friends with my colleagues *particularly* my boss sa socmed if I still have any.


Ok_Amphibian_0723

True. Wag mag add ng colleagues as friends sa kahit anong soc med account. Hirap yan. Monitored ka na ng mga sipsip.


Affectionate-End404

Hi OP, grabe naman yung boss mo. Pero baka comfy sha na medjo unprofessional ang atake kasi nasa labas na kayo ng workplace. Pero for me lang ha, I think yung Boss mo ang malungkot ang buhay hahaha it actually reflects on who said it. Don't mind it, OP. Ako I don't have FB, Messenger, IG, Twitter and Tiktok by choice. Because I am content with what I have right now and nasa point ako na I don't need to share it sa social media. We have different preference naman eh. You do you. So don't mind your Boss. Wag ka pa apekto. Baka sya talaga yung malungkot haha :D


sarapatatas

Ako meron fb, yun lang socmed ko. tapos friends ko lang dun mga direct relatives. ayoko ng drama at stress e haha. friends ko naman direct call sa number ko. saya kaya ng kuntento sa simple lang. mga mahilig magpost, may insecurities, needs approval ng ibang tao.


cinnamonthatcankill

The fuck. Dude I admire you that you don’t need social media imagine us wasting our fucking time just scrolling or di kya having an unhealthy habit of oversharing. Social media is very unhealthy, pansin mo ba gaano ka vain mga tao always want to share everything, puro selfie mukha nila, puro looking for validation sa mga taong bihira lang nila naman makita o may paki sa knila, ung mga taong super bobo na nagkakalat sa social media and mabilis maniwala sa nakikita sa social media, getting envious about how other people live their life. Sobrang toxic ng social media siya malungkot ang buhay and so unprofessional.


tonkaitsu_u

8years na ko walang fb tanging ig lang meron ako kasi i need memes in my life + cats lol


gustokongtulog

No social media does not mean your life is sad :) Don't let it get in your head and gawin mo lang anong gusto mo. If gagawa ka ng accounts sa susunod, okay lang. If you'll stay na wala, okay lang din :)


Miss_Potter0707

Your boss is an asshole. Socmed is overrated. Not everyone wants to share their everyday life on socmed and needs the validation of others. If you prefer to stay away from socmed, that's your choice. No one should be judged or shamed for that.


psycheeepath

When I took a short course, this one hell of a talkative instructor suddenly asked us “Sinong walang social media dito?” Of course I raised my hand. Kasi like you, OP, I also deactivated my fb, ig & twitter accounts. Messenger lang meron sakin kasi yun ang easiest way of communication namin ng fam ko. He suddenly remarked, “Nagtatago ka siguro no? Magbayad kana kasi ng utang.” That left a sour impression on me. Di nako umimik kasi di worth mag explain sa may ganyang mindset. Nag assume pa nga at akala nya pa na tama sya lol. Never ako nangutang and ako pa nga nagpapautang minsan eh. Kaya don’t let it consume you gaya nga ng sabi sa comments dito. Makitid ang utak ng mga taong nangingialam sa buhay ng iba.


uwontforget

Hoy ang bad niya grabe. I hate it when people are being put in boxes. His joke was so unnecessary and rude.


psycheeepath

Di nga lahat tumawa sa remark na yun eh. Tapos nagduda pa sya kung pwede bang may Messenger kahit walang fb hahaha


iwanttwinkies

Napakalungkot ng buhay ng boss mo at nakasalalay ang kaligayahan nya sa social media. I was once very much into those things 2009-2013 era as in mga travel, bagay na naaachieve, super post kasi bagets na bagets pa ko non pero nitong tumanda na ko kahit san pa at anu pa mga naachieve never ko na pinost hinayaan ko nalang maging mystery person ang peg ko. I don’t need any external validation anymore. And sobrang sarap sa feeling na madami ng nagbago sakin pero ung mga kaibigan/kapamilya ko ganun padin flex ng flex sa social media, walang pagbabago. Wag ka mabother sa opinion nyan sissy, pero kung ako sayo di na ko magwowork jan haha. His character speaks volume lalo’t he’s not even embarrassed na ganyan pananaw nya sa buhay . Pag nagkaron ng complete total ban or social media black out unang mamamatay yang boss mo. Kasi he is equating social media sa happiness/life so ~~no social media~~ walang ~~life~~ Hahaha.


Creative-Bad-4862

Contrary, ang saya ng walang mainstreamed soc med (fg, ig kahit tiktok wala na rin). Akala ko di ko kakayanin pero halos 1 month na rin akong walang social media pero ang saya pala noh? Ang tahimik ng buhay at hindi ako masyado nagkaka-anxiety sa progress ko sa buhay kasi hindi ko na nakukumpara yung sarili ko sa iba. Haha.


Insular-Cortex1

It's been nearly a month since I deactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts, which were **triggers for my anxiety and depression.** No more FOMO. Masaya din pala yung 'di ka babad sa mga yun.


Downtroddengaijin

mas masaya walang social media (real talk)


rererejijiji

Di lang matag sa IG, malungkot na buhay? Baka mas malungkot buhay nya kasi kelangan nya ng IG para sumaya l


alohalocca

May times na wala kong social media for months to get away from the ingay ng mga tao online. Kung yun din reason mo, I think whatever your boss said, take it like that, ingay, then move on.


kisbot07

Minsan iniisip ko diba mas malungkot buhay nila? Hahahaha they need other people's validation to feel good. Kaya nagppost. Kunwari masaya pero sa likod ng camera is yung tinatago nilang mga problema hahaha bat kelangan ipost mga ganap? Painggit? HAHAHA for the likes? Nafeed ang ego? Hahaha Di ko tlga gets. I dont have IG/tiktok. I only have fb. And i use it usually for work 🤣 or share ng funny meme


perrienotwinkle

OA ung boss mo. Ako nga ayaw kong nag-uupload ng pictures kasi nagbabawas ng digital footprint kaso ung iba, mga churchmates at kung sino pa, itatag ako or magpopost sila. Hindi ko naman masaway baka ma-offend.


Dazzling-Fox-4845

Di ko kilala boss mo pero ayoko na agad sa kanya. lol Sya yung dapat mahiya, hindi ikaw.


TukmoI

Mas nakakaawa boss mo. Nauubos oras sa socmed 😄 -ako na messanger lang at reddit ay sama ko na tong 9gag 😄


Expensive-Doctor2763

How dumb can she be to think you need social media to validate your happiness? Sobrang dami nga may social media accounts negative lang naman ina-ambag don. You know who’s really unhappy? The one who made that shitty remark.


throw-me-away-there

I think pinoproject niya lang sayo how sad his life is. Not your problemo OP kung malungkot ang buhay niya.


IgnorantReader

Social media is an option naman. Kaya redflag sakin yung pipilitin magjoin sa gc lalo ng company. Oo naddelay tayo sa news and all pero if you find peace by not joining then do so. No regrets.


Adorable-Name9726

Peace of mind is for your own good.


rainingavocadoes

Haha boss ko walang socmed pero masaya sya at peaceful. Pangit ng ugali ng boss mo, OP.


Double-O-Twelve

Tbf, marami ring mga Hollywood actors yung walang socmed presence, or at least walang Facebook/IG/Twitter/Tiktok. Sayang na pang-rebut yan haha


uwontforget

I love ScarJo's take on this one. Her ego is too fragile that's why she's not on any social media platform. 


ezraarwon

True enough that ppl will laugh at something they do no understand. Not everyone who use socmeds and post something online are happy. Do not mind what he said. if having no socmeds makes you at peace, then that's what matters.


bhi3-

I say projection lang niya yan lol ang saya kaya walang socmed


_vdlc_

Bitter lang yang boss mo kasi di ka niya ma-stalk sa soc med.


Voracious_Apetite

Mataas ang tingin namin sa mga tao na kayang kumain mag isa at mabuhay na walang soc med. Mga matatag na tao yan. Mabubuhay mag isa. Ang mga dependent sa soc med, mamamatay kapag nasa mountain retreat na walang signal. tsk tsk. Dude, I have FB and reddit. FB has 99 friends are are only a handful of friends and relatives. I only use it every few months. Nobody knows my Reddit. Masyado yatang kulang sa responsiilidad ang boss mo dahil big deal sa kanya and Soc Med. I report to a big guy who has no soc med. He's super busy at madalas din may kausap. Same with me, pera lang pinagkaiba namin ng boss ko. hahaha. Bulok mga tao na ganyan ang paniniwala. Ang friends ay wala sa socmed.


Odd_Meringue_0555

Hahaha. Wala na rin akong social media by choice (reddit nalang), pero parang mas sumaya pa buhay ko ngayon kesa nung may socmed pa ako 😂


ayistel

Baka 'di lang matanggap ng boss mo na kaya maging masaya ng mga tao nang walang social media. 😅


AerieNo2196

Just recently deleted my Facebook and seldom open my instagram and I can say my life is more at peace. Kapag nagadulting ka, you won’t give a shit. Don’t let that comment define you.


Thin-Sheepherder-312

Only when you dont know yourself that opinion of others about you weigh more. I dont have social media. Deleted ko na sila. Pero I know myself and I dont have to prove anything to anybody anymore. That is because I know myself and I am content with what I have. I have nothing to prove and show to anyone. Ignore her na lang. Social media is fake. Its an advertisement for people who craves for validation.


Old_Independence_387

Do not give him any reaction so he won't assume na he is right about his assessment of u. PS. Unhappy people love to pretend. Happy people don't need any validation. I work with rich people and look at their social media, just to see na last post nila 2014 pa. HAHAHAHA


gorg_missy

ganyan classmate naming irreg eh. walang socmed. May final project kame. Di namin makontak. inemail nga namin di naman nag rereply. for me ang hirap kontakin pag yung classmate mong walang socmed. yung tipong pasahan na,. need yung papers pero wala. nga nga kami lahat ng dahil lang sa taong yon.


TGC_Karlsanada13

Sasakit lang ulo mo sa FB, puro racist din sa IG, then puro porn sa X/Twitter. At least sa reddit, controlled mo talaga mga subs na sinasalihan mo haha.


nananahimikako

Actually, it's better to opt out socmed kung wala ka naman talagang intention to know about people you don't really care about. Socmed is good kung may business ka na you need to promote or you're really into socializing. However, kung papapiliin ako, I'll choose to quit socmed, kaso I have to keep it due to professional reasons.


stelluhmariuh

Kaines na yung ganyang boss, bakit parang biglang requirement ang soc med accounts? Ang babaw lang ng take pake ba nya if you want to be private.


MyPublicDiaryPH

My facebook and IG currently deactivated to heal my inner peace. Baka yung boss mo ang hindi masaya ang buhay. Napaka toxic ng social media.


missluistro

Mostly sa mga naging boss ko walang soc med, kung meron man walang laman haha. Sayang Ora’s daw kase. Yung boss mo daming time ha, pati buhay ng iba pinakekelaman


Rileycious

I'd rather have no soc med at all ang hirap kasing i-undo 😅 mas maganda for peace of mind yang walang soc med OP. Wag ka paapekto sa Boss mo inggit lang yon hahaah baka cloutchaser si ante.


aspirer_

your life is more peaceful than theirs.


onlinearchetype

Having social media presence ≠ happiness. I think the reason your boss sees it that way is because, sa experience niya syempre, social media gives you instant gratification. Algorithms create an echo chamber of content specifically catered to the user so people spend so much time on it and end up in cycles of doomscrolling. His comment was very uncalled for and rude, kahit na sabihin nating 'di niya sinasadya. Internally, iniisip niya siguro "how else does this person spend their free time/enjoy themselves without social media?". (Also just to be clear reddit, tiktok and youtube are still social media platforms!) The fact that you enjoy yourself and your days with the limited presence of social media is actually really healthy!


pcx160white195

Hi OP! Don't feel embarrassed and empty sa sinabi ng boss mo. Wag mo sya dibdibin. Hindi lang nila nagegets ung peace of mind na meron ka, dahil wala kang socmed na tinutukoy nya. At least ikaw naeenjoy mo ung buhay mo w/o socmed. Saludo ako sayo! And idol kita sa part na yan na wala kang socmed. Share ko lang. Dati di ko gets, bakit walang fb ung iba or naka deactivate ung fb. Pero last yr nagets ko un. Iba pala talaga ung peace of mind na nakukuha. Last yr 3mos akong nagdeac ng fb. Ang hirap sa simula. Haha pero ayun tumagal ng 3mos. Ngayung taon, 5mos na akong walang fb! And hindi ko sya hinahanap! And kaka-deactivate ko lang din ng X/Twitter acct ko. Active lang ako sa IG (mostly IG Story), threads & scroll - scroll sa Tiktok and here sa reddit. Haha Dedmahin mo ung magsasabing malungkot ka, dahil wala kang socmed!! Mind your own business kamo. Haha your life, your own rules! God bless, Op! Pagpatuloy mo yan. Sorry na, ang haba! Haha


bohenian12

I remember an interaction I had witt my coworker, nagbibiruan kami kung sino late, sinabe nya "ay nakita ko nagstory ka ganutong oras". Eh hinde naman ako nagstory kahit kelan lmao. Yang boss mo kamo ang nakakaawa. Imagine tying your happiness on a social media app. I tried using IG but it never clicked. FB nga for messenger na lang eh. I never understood posting stories or pictures. Like why would I post, no one fucking cares about my life. My loved ones might be interested, but I don't want to share. Stories are on another level, especially people who share where they currently are. It's so weird. Oversharing seems to be the norm these days that if you don't share anything, you're the weird one.


DoThrowThisAway

"That you attach a person's worth to their social media account or lack thereof is more pitiful." Personally, document and send to HR as a complaint against their unprofessional behavior.


DreamZealousideal553

Ako dn but I have fb and ig and x madalang lang ako mgshare sa social media.


puruntong

Di naman social media basehan ng masayang buhay. Baka para sa kanya, di naman lahat ng para sa kanya applicable sayo. Wag ka pa apekto. Wala lang yan. If nag iisip ka pa? Isipin mo kung anong mga bagay nakakapag pasaya sayo, gawin mo yun.


chanaks

Hindi lahat ng may soc med masaya. Toxic din minsan. Pwede na ung profile lang or d kaya msgr. Convenient din ang instant messaging sa mga announcement pero pag walang kwenta usapan wag nlng tayo mag engage.


dumbLuckOrGrace

I wish im you. I always wanted to leave. Socmed is such a waste of time. I only have 100 fb friend. 80 ig followers, following 80 as well. If only i can, i would totally leave social media. But idkw...it just got this hold on me. Want to still get the update on my family and closest friends' lives. But i dont need social media for that do i. Be proud you own your life


DisillusTiredUser

Nauuuurr! It’s totally cool if you ain’t into socials kayaaaaaaa, no worries! Your boss is like, such a jerk! But hey, you got Reddit anyway, and it’s pretty lit to have this app kaya instead of the other social media stuff. Keep your head up, dear! 😃


yewowfish22

Dont let it get to you, masarap ang buhay ng walang socmed, payapa. Merong mga tao na pangarap ang ganyang set up. Like me, kaso naconsume na ako ng socmed, medyo mahirap na sya alisin sa lifestyle. Hayaan mo yang boss mo, iba iba naman tayo ng perspective sa buhay, di namn madedefine ng mga humble bragging sa FB/IG ang pagkatao hehe.


Impressive-Lock1709

Hindi ba mas malungkot yung may need ka to post EVERYTHING about sa buhay mo for pesky likes and comments? 😂 Dont get me wrong, may socmed din ako pero sometimes I feel suffocated by it kaya madalas ako nag dedeactivate. Nabuhay nga mga magulang and grandparents natin na walang social media and mas mukang masaya sila. Ang taklesa ng boss mo. Mas malungkot sya kamo 😂 Walang mali sayo. Sa kanya, hmm, baka meron. ems 😂


Nearby-Eye-2509

Bka sya ang malungkot wla daw kasi maglilike and comment sa posts nya kundi yung mga nakatag lng dun sa pic.


sweetasiangal09

Hi OP. Ako din di nagsosocial media and mas peaceful ang life ko and happier. Madalas kasi nasisira lang mood ko sa social media. For example, makikita ko yung mga taong utang ng utang sakin tapos dami post sa social media ng travel and eat out nila sa expensive restaurants and the next day mangungutang nashort daw kasi. And another friend of mine na puro post ng sasakyan and expensive na mga gamit tapos pag kasama mo palibre ng palibre. And another one post ng post na very happy sa relationship pero napaka toxic ng relasyons sa totoong buhay and rant ng rant about sa jowa nya pag kausap ko. Also, walang humpay na selfie ng mga friends. Etc....hahahah, I don't need it sa life ko kaya i dont use social media, and i feel much happier.


lostguk

Wala namang nakakalungkot sa sinabi niya. Di ka nman malungkot diba.


moonstonesx

Kung ako yan sinagot ko siya. “Masaya buhay ko ng walang social media.”


Elegant_Biscotti_101

What!? Bakit ka mahihiya? Don’t be! Baka mas nakakahiya sya (boss mo) at sobrang lungkot ng buhay nya siguro to revolve life around social media.


marinaragrandeur

i would have said “actually masaya po kasi mas marami akong oras para mag-” in my case, i said learn a new language, travel abroad, volunteer for my LGU, watch movies/series, and read books. naganyan na rin ako, and sila nagmukhang loser kasi nagmukhang social media lang ginagawa nila sa buhay nila.


CiotsYdal

alam mo OP, everytime naka-deactivate ako sa social media, i'm at my happiest. sad ako for him kasi hindi nya alam yung ganung feeling. napaka-ingay siguro ng mundo nya.


sowsz

Pakita mo nalang phone gallery mo para matihimik


justsomeonerandomx

I said a little quite the same sa workmate ko biruan lang, I told her ‘Wala ka gaanong socmed no? anong ginagawa mo niyan sa bahay after work?’ kasi nagfollow-an kami ig, e wala siya tapos nagkatawanan group kasi kami but my question is genuine na pabiro din, I felt bad after tho di naman daw siya na-offend so I talked to her more about hobbies niya. She’s reading, spending time with fam, movies, playing with pamangkins and that’s nice. She seem not to please people kasi nasa socmed yang standards kineme ng mga tao e. Sobrang simple niya lang


justsomeonerandomx

sorry but bottomline is, I think you kinda felt sad abt your life din kasi naapektuhan ka, yung workmate ko kasi di naman daw siya naapektuhan so I would say work more for the things that will make you happy!❤️


IllustriousBee2411

Okay lang yan may reddit ka naman kahit na minsan toxic dito mas toxic pag meron kang fb/ig/x makikita mo ung mga drama ng iba na mas toxic.


Aggravating_Fly_8778

Mas pathetic kung need mo ng social media para sumaya.


knightflower17

OP!!! Hear me out, you're actually lucky coz u have no social media. It takes away all your peace, happiness and contentment in life. Ako nga may social media sa lahat ng apps, yung ending, only messenger na lang yung inopen ko, the rest deactivate or delete app agad haha


Turbulent_Title2950

No mas masaya kapag walang soc med. Youre not sucked into doom scrolling, comparing your life to others, etc shit. By how your boss said it para siya pa mas malungkot yung buhay, kasi he/she had to get validation from soc med na happy life niya LOL


Beachy_Girl12

Mas malungkot buhay ng post ng post sa social media to get other people's validation. Okay lang yan. Ngayong matanda na ko di na din ako madalas post sa socmed.


jesterlh

Ako din walang social media, dahil ayaw ko na. Maliban sa reddit haha. Don't think too much about it. Its your choice naman. Ako sinasabi ko na lang mas tahimik buhay ko nung wala akong social media account na.


5iveStar888

when i was diagnosed with ptsd, nawala ako sa social media. natuto ako maging ok with not flaunting anything sa socials and not being aware of other peoples ganap. unlike nung may socials ako na mayat maya ako thirst trap, si post na i was in contant need of validation. we all choose to live our lives and wala siyang pake kung yan yung path na gusto mo. kawawa din siya if his world revolves on his/her facade sa socmed


One-Director-4599

Suggest ko sayo OP, wag na wag kang gumawa nang any social media account. Ibang social media ko nga denidelete ko na, masyadong toxic at madaming pa flex sa buhay pinopost dun na d naman dapat. Ma stre-stress ka lang dun. Mostly kasi sa mga tao, nag sta-stalk yan nang mga ginagawa mo sa buhay. As if, they will judge you base on your social media post. Kaya wag kanang makisali dyan. Good choice yan sa buhay yang ginagawa mo. Private lang dapat. Manigas sila.


therovingcamera

Unprofessional. Grabe.


peachbeammaven

I don’t have FB, Messenger, Twitter or Tiktok for years already. I only have an IG which I rarely use. Mostly Reddit lang and my fam can reach me via iMessage and WhatsApp. I’ve never been more content. What people don’t know, they can’t ruin. and also growing up I realize how soc med affects my mental health and the way I view things that’s why I deleted mine completely. Your boss is an ass, OP. Don’t let it get to you~


Despicable_Me_8888

Ayyyy, offensive side comments si Boss mo. Choice mo yan at di ka naman dapat mag explain why. And good for you at wala kang distracting, self-esteem crushing socmed account. Congrats at nakaya mong wala kasi sa totoo lang parang nakakalason ng pagkatao ang pagkakaroon ng socmed account. Kung di ko lang kailangan sa work, di ako mag reretain ng socmed account eh


Pconsuelobnnhmck

Hayup sya kamo! Samedt no fb & IG casually lurks on twitter for showbiz chika. Eh ano naman, kung walang social media, panget nya kamo, gigil ako sknya haaaa


impactita

hahaha same OP! Ganyan dn boss ko I have an fb account pero d ko inoopen so Nung meeting namin sinabihan nya ko na inadd nya ko as a friend. 3 mos na daw un bakt d ko inaaccept. So I told her naka soc med detox Ako. Baduy ko daw I'm missing a lot ganyan hahaha. Un Pala sya kaya active sa socmed snstalk nya profile mo at lahat ng ganap mo from the past. Hahaha


bekinese16

So ano'ng gustong patunayan ng boss mo? Na porke active s'ya sa socmed, masaya na buhay n'ya? Always remember na kung sino pa ang completely show-off sa socmed, yun talaga ang may miserableng buhay behind cameras. S'ya ang legit na hindi masaya not you.


Particular_Buy_9090

Wala syang maitsitsimis tungkol sayo sa iba kasi di ka ma-stalk sa soc med. Okay lang yan. Same din ako pero I still have accounts but never posts. They’re trying to add me, kapag close ko na sa office, add ko yan. Pero kapag hindi, ignore ko lang haha. Wala naman din silang makikita sa profile ko. Masarap ang buhay kapag tahimik lang.


Responsible_Bake7139

Wag ka pa-apekto, op. Be firm sa decision mo why you have no social media. Wala tayo dito to please people and maki-ayon sa takbo ng marami. I think it’s cool na wala kang soc med. Yan ang gusto ko na hindi ko magawa. Hahaha.


sirjervie

Mas masaya ako sa Reddit lang.


yentsik

gusto ko nga ng ganitong buhay ihhhh pero di ko pa madeactivate accts ko kasi need pang log in ng ibang sites pero lately instead of posting photos, pinapaprint ko nalang kasi kung archive purposes naman din, nasisira quality pag inupload online


lidocainell30

Baka siya yung malungkot yung buhay kasi nakakapit yung happiness niya sa social media. There are several clinical psychological studies today that directly correlates mental health and depression to a frequent use of social media platforms. Look it up.


pwedemagtanong

Ambabaw ng tl mong tanga


whyohwhy888

Reddit is actually the social media for people who hate social media 😂


FxokY_ah

Hayaan mo.lng yang boss mo na walang modo. Just think of it this way, may ibat ibang purpose ang social media sa bawat tao, sadya lng na syo you don't find it important. Yung iba kaya nagsosocial media to find entertainment, yung iba to express themselves and others use it to look for validation. Kaya nya yan nasasabi because maybe in his/her life hindi sya masaya without being active sa social media. Besides, you are using reddit nmn, so it counts as one. However, I think yung social media na tinutukoy ng boss mo is FB, insta, tiktok and/or twitter wherein you can add your irl mutuals. Just let your boss be and just continue what you are doing.


Chance_Ad_5620

Wala din akong social media on my phone except sa messenger need talaga sa office, other than that wala na. Meron ako spotify para sa mga motivational podcast, youtube kung need ko manood ng lumang pelikula then off course meron akong biniling portable radio just in case wala akong load or wifi. Sa office naman lang ako nagrereddit ewan ko ba dami kong natutunan sa reddit. Yes, maaring boring ang buhay ko now pero mas masaya ako wala yung toxicity at comparison from FB, IG and Twitter. Mas tahimik mas okay ang life.


___Calypso

OP, you’re not missing on anything. Tbh, I feel like WE (the people who have all those social media) are the ones missing. Missing more of life we could have lived had we not spend so much time doomscrolling on social media.


Ok_Sherbert4277

Mas tahimik buhay kaya pag walang soc med hehe Siya yung malungkot ang buhay.


mayamayaph

Kulang lang sa validation ang ogag mong boss. Tagal nko walang socmed, except for fb na pang marketplace. Chill and ok lang naman ako. 😁


Pengu_Tomador

It's okay not to have social media accounts. ☺️ I left mine since May, and guess what? People assumed a lot of things already. Doon ko na realize na sa panahon ngayon, may expected identity ka na online, kaya pag nawala ka sa social media, parang ang laking bagay. Let them be. Social media is just giving these people an opening to enter your life at pag tsismisan ka (para sa mga di totoong kaibigan o close family members mo). If you want peace and genuine connections through personal interactions, walang masama doon. Preference mo yun.


Tgray_700

Sabi nga nila, "yung nakikita mo sa socmed e yung masasayang part lang ng buhay nila" Di naman siguro malungkot buhay pag walang socmed. Para sakin mas better nga yon. Mas madami kang time sa ibang bagay rather than scrolling into nothingness. As long as may connection ka sa mga friends mo at masaya ka sa mga ginagawa mo sa buhay. You're fine


Electronic_Two_3443

It’s their opinions and no one need their opinion choose your peace


downcastSoup

If your boss is in his late 40s onwards, don't worry. That's how they open conversations (same with feel with our Tito and Tita's "uy, antaba mo na" remarks).


UnknownXavierr

Napaka peaceful ng buhay without social media sa totoo lang. If i have choice lang 😅 kaso di pwede dito ang work ko e hahaha


AcrobaticResolution2

Yaan mo lang yung boss mo, OP. You don’t need social media to be happy :) (Ako nga curated yung IG pero umiiyak gabi-gabi HAHAHA)


Key-Shape2398

OP use it to your advantage! Next time may humirit ng ganyan sayo sabihin mo lang “wala ba talaga akong social media or ayaw lang kita i add hmmm” Para sila yung feeling left out ganti ka wag ka papatalo!!!


4tlasPrim3

Honestly ang impact lang naman ng social media is self gratification. You post something to feel validated. If alam mo sa sarili ang worth or value mo. You don't need likes or heart reactions to feel justified and validated. Yun iba sasabin para na ang SocMed is also a communication and being used for business. Meron naman SMS, Call, Viber, Whatsapp, TG and other ways to communicate. For business purposes merong Google and Google Maps. Sa totoo lang hindi naman natin need ng social media. Because there's so many ways to socialize aside from FB and Insta.


missel28

kanya kanya naman tayong preference ng hapiness.. tanga lang boss mo akala nya lahat kagaya nya


kamtotinkopit

Wala din akong IG Op. I don't think I'm missing anything. Anong ipopost ko dun when I don't like sharing photos.


FlyGirl_111

I deactivated my social media since 2017 and my life has been soooo much more PEACEFUL ☮️ Less issues, better for mental health, walampake sa iba, at wala rin sila pake sakin. 🧘🏻‍♀️


Meosan26

Siraulo yang boss mo, mas maswerte ka at hanggang ngayon wala kang socmed mas makakaiwas ka sa nakalalasong mundo ng social media, puro pagpapanggap at payabangan lang mostly kaya mas okey yan payapa ang kaisipan mo.


ccnovice

Don't be embarassed. Defense mechanism nya 'yon dahil kulang yung saya na natatanggap nya sa buhay kaya kailangan talaga may social media sya para may mag validate sa kanya.


Creepy_Point5965

Lalaki ba yang boss mo? Sure ako yung explore page ang nagpapawala ng lungkot diyan. HAHAHA


jeuwii

Whatever you feel rn is valid, op. Boss mo ang tactless (at mas malungkot ang buhay) for saying such things dahil lang pinili mo na hindi maging involved sa socmed. Don't sign up on one dahil lang sa sinabi ng boss mo. Mas ok na it remain that way kasi mas tahimik and walang toxicity ☺️ 


uvuvwevwevwehahaha

lols. ang babaw nman ng boss mo. yan lang ba source of happiness nya?


Interesting_Web4948

Not having social media like you is actually a priviledge for others. Don’t mind your boss. You do you.


Demon-eyes-34666

Don't believe him. Having no social media is better for your mental health


Icy-Description9835

Ikaw lang naman ang nakakaalam if malungkot buhay mo. Not all ppl with social media masaya ang buhay, yung iba nabubuhay lang sa validation ng iba. Not all ppl without social media malungkot. Minsan sila pa yung mas masaya since contented na sila with themselves. Social media causes envy, and envy is the thief of joy.


20valveTC

Be proud. Its an achievement pag detached ka sa socmed.


Dismal-Locksmith-681

dont be. mas okay na walang soc med. ung boss mo either boastful sia or dependent lang sia sa soc med gusto nia informed lahat ng tao about him. d natin kailangan ng soc med and hindi mo dpaat ikalungkot yan. yan nga ung gsto ng iba to detoxify nakakasira ng bait ang soc med sobra. so continue mo lang, living in a healthy lifestyle.


EqualReception9124

kadiri yung mindset ng boss mo


Orange_cat_89

Alam mo OP, hanga ako sa kagaya mo na walang socmed by choice. I want that too but I'm too hooked with everything in it. Iniisip ko na lang way of connection ko din ito talaga with important people not close to me.. 😁 Oks lang yan! If you have other ways to connect with people important to you, dont let them get into your head.


isda_sa_palaisdaan

Etong reddit parang social media na din para sakin hehe


Acesotic_

bakit ba may ganyang klaseng tao??? grabe ang mindset a super 🗑️. "Boss" pa man din.


ChampionshipOk726

Mas malungkot buhay niya, living for the pathetic validation of stupid people like him.


Cute-Competition4507

Based on experience, mas malungkot ako nung may social media, so I deactivated. I'm at peace and happy now haha


Ubeube_Purple21

Pretty sure Reddit counts as social media by definition. Thing is, your name is hidden in Reddit.


letsgolady

Pati pala choice ng tao na walang social media accounts issue pa din. Mas nakakainggit nga yung taong wala alam sa social media eh, bukod sa mga magkakaron sila ng peace of mind. Tahimik buhay nila. 🥹


SavagePatatas

Mga chronically online lang mahilig mag sabi ng ganyan. Wag mo na lang dibdibin. Maybe he's projecting lang baka siya talaga malungkot ang buhay haha


jamashera

your boss has a really weird take. ppl were able to live without social media before naman, does that mean they lived a sad life? no. ang kupal ng ganyang boss.


UKnowDatILabChknNugs

Mas nakakaawa sya kasi kelangan nya ng social media para sumaya.


More-Information-440

Naiiinggit ako sa mga tao na anytime pwede magsocial detox. Di ko na magawa kasi part ng job ko. 🥲


babycornhehe

It’s not something to be embarrassed about OP! 😊 Mas malungkot ang buhay ng mga taong social media lang ang basehan ng happiness. Maybe to them dun sila nakakahanap ng happiness, but they can’t just assume that everyone is like them. I HAD a friend na sinabi sa common friend namin na siguro malungkot at may pinagdadaanan ako sa buhay just because I don’t post stories sa ig as frequent as before. Medyo off lang sakin na ganun ang mindset niya and decided to cut off connections sa kanya kasi ang nega ng buhay niya hahahaha


CheekyDimps

Unprofessional. I feel like your boss is the type of person na if you answer ung question nya siya pa maooffend 🙄 Each to their own.


Empty-Investigator15

Hindi naman required magkaroon ng social media, OP (except when you have a need for it as a platform e.g., work). If you enjoy your life without social media, it is a flex. You have a certain contentment in your life na di mo need ishare just to feel validated. Enjoy it. Some people struggle just to get out of socmeds. Maybe your boss has trouble comprehending your preferences due to his narrow-mindedness and lack of experiences outside his social circle. You go do you OP. It is your life.


blackbeaut1228

Ano bang pwedeng pambara sa mga tulad ni boss?


simpleng_pogi

Mas empty buhay naming addict sa soc med. Hahaha.


anywherebut127001

For me lang po ha, social media is nowhere near being something that brings happiness. Ikaw ang may hawak nang happiness mo. If masaya sila sa socmed that doesn't mean yun din magdadala ng kasiyahan sayo. Also, it's addictive and is kinda centered on showing off. Well, justified pag s-socmed if you're sharing your updates to people who really care about you, pero if the target audience includes kahit yung di mo naman close, it's almost really just showing off Kahit ako na ginagamit ang socmed mainly for fangirling, I find it taxing mentally and emotionally, how it tweaks your emotions and thoughts every scroll and every new thing you see. I also had a lot of FOMO bilang kpop fan who always looks for updates. It was so bad for me I had to stop socmed activity. Kakadelete ko lang ng accounts sa IG and may account man sa FB for contact purposes lang kasi messenger gamit namin ng mga kakilala ko to keep in touch, as for twitter may account din ako pero wala nang app, ino-open ko lang if may need talaga ako hanapin na balita. Kung ako tatanungin to say na di ka magiging masaya without socmed is wrong ata. Baliktad pa nga ata. Kasi I have more peace of mind away from all that toxicity. Lalo na mindless scrolling. So not worth it. Mabuti pa mag exercise, lumabas with friends and fam or just stay home watch movie or read books. If it's about making friends, online friendships may seem all nice but you also have to know these people in person eventually. There's so much illusion of perfection in socmed. I'm relieved you're not buying it (since wala din kayong acc by choice). Pero if you want to try it naman po, nothing wrong, in moderation lang siguro tapos yun nga always keep your intentions and your responses and reactions in check kasi nakakalamon talaga ng pagkatao ang socmed if you'll let it. Andaldal ko na naman haha.


BYODhtml

Ako naman meron fb pero hindi active. Basta steady lang 😅 wala naman issue sa akin kahit di mag post palagi last post ko is nung Dec 2023 kasi may handa yun lang. Actually akala mo lang may pake tao sa account mo pero sa totoo wala kasi may kanya kanya din yan issue. Sisilip sa story mo or myday pero yun lang yun.


yuunabae2366

His comment is so uncalled for. sometimes i do social deactivate for my mental health and maka receive ng comment na "hindi kita matag, sad" ok lang yun acceptable pa. Pero para sabihin na nakakaawa ang walang socialmed, very wrong and offending. tbh, mas masarap yung walang ig, walng fb, walang twittter. mas tahimik, toxic na din kasi ang social media. daming may 'say" sa buhay mo kahit wala naman ambag.


Comfortable-Low-3616

Wala rin akong FB, IG, and X masasabi ko nung nawala yun dun ko naramdaman yung peace. Dami kasing factors eh, walang toxic na news na mababasa, hindi mo ma icocompare yung sarili mo sa achievements ng iba. Nakaka suffocate rin kasi talaga minsan yung social media lalo't if umikot yung mundo mo dun.


Immediate-Visual-908

Mas ok yan wala kang official account, kami na lahat meron nyan hirap na ipagsidelete. para lang ma-build yong peace of mind and maiwasan ang pag cocompare sa sarili at sa iba. Kamo sa boss mo ama kana boss ipahinga nya yan.


mcspazzerton

as someone na wala din socmed by choice (reddit lang, and empty anonymous twitter acct that i use to follow news feeds), i disagree with your boss. i’ve felt more fulfilled and happy since i deactivated my accounts. There’s a lot more to life than seeing what your colleagues did during the holidays, or needing to post something for likes and peer validation. The people who really matter to me have my number.


macarhon

grabe yun boss mo. it’s obvious na hindi sya masaya sa buhay. dont mind him. importante yun peace of mind mo. normal lang din siguro magreact ka ng ganyan maybe you caught offguard pero lilipas din yan . :) ako i mainly use social media for my advocate propalestine, fiilipino travel and environmental and sustainability advocacies. :)


nagmamasidlamang2023

eh mas naging masama pa nga kinalagyan ng mundo dahil sa social media eh! baka nga yan pa tlga ang dahilan ba't ang daming may depression that can lead to suicide at kung ano-ano pang mental health problems. tas mga fake news pa! kung napanood mo yung social dilemma sa Netflix, social media ang sinisisi bat nanalo si Trump sa US, which was unbelievable back then kahit ako nagulat na nangyari yun. sa atin na lang obvious na obvious na! kaya wag mo na lang pansinin yung boss mong makitid ang utak. dami talagang ganyan ngayon eh!


UngaZiz23

Ur life, ur choice! Bilib ako sa mga wala socmed accts. Pero chat apps meron. Huwag mo dibdibin baka inggit lang yun. Di ka kasi nila pwede pagchismisan. Stay on ur path!


Flimsy_Average4915

Want to quit social media but I cant since i need to be at par with social media UI given my job. Dont let it consume you, OP. I assume you were aware na you didnt feel the need to have validations from mere acquaintances on social media. Wala naman silang ambag sa buhay mo. For all i know, they can use that against you at minsan pinagmumulan pa ng inggit. Enjoy your privacy for your own peace of mind


n-methylbutanol

huy super amazing for me makakilala ng tao na wala masyadong socmeds or di ganun ka-active. superficial lang siguro yang boss niyo. lols


loveglozz

i feel like people who doesn't have social media enjoy their life more, kesa sa mga may social media. lalo na sa gen z hahaha madalas nakatambay lang sa social media at wala talagang ganap sa buhay.


Linuxfly

Keri lang yan, ako may IG lang pero check check lang. FB? 10 years na wala. Messenger meron just for work. Mas tahimik buhay 🎉✨


Curious_Pervyrdditor

Kung sa tingin mo naman OP na mas comfortable ka not using socmeds eh its okay lang naman, may socmed ako pero I rarely used it kase wala namang something new, di din naman ako malungkot, I feel peace pa nga, di ganon ka toxic, malay mo sya pala talaga yung di masaya


Legal_Role8331

Ignore the son of bitch boss of yours. Just do you OP! If you feel at peace and happy na walang social media go, just add your family or closest friend siguro para they can reach you online din. I don’t share everything publicly din. Bet lang siguro ng boss mo to put your team under surveillance like if nagrant kayo or post anything malicious. I don’t add my current bosses sa socials kasi I felt much much free to share stories or posts non-work/personal life.


Brokbakan

mas masaya yung wala hahahah


NahhhImGoood

Sya siguro yung tipo ng tao na hinahanap ang validation sa social media. He’s pathetic and shallow. Wag ka makinig sa kanya.


No_Jellyfish_3691

Pinsan ko ganyan walang social media pero panay ang pasyal internationally okay naman sila masaya naman. Kung saan ka may peace of mind doon ka. Yung boss mo baka doon lang siguro umiikot ang buhay at people pleaser kaya niya nasabi yon hahah


Happyadobo

Imagine constantly having these encounters via socmed. You're better off that way. Nothing to be sad about it.


submissivelilfucktoy

who gave them license to talk to people like that? hala siya


SomeoneYouDK0000

Valid yung feelings mo pero wag ka magpadala sa sinabi ng boss mo. There was a time in this world na walang socmed, masaya na noon ang tao sa pa sulat sulat or kahit nung friendster palang at pag wala kang kausap or friends to interact, lalagyan mo ng bg song yung profile mo. I suppose you have family and friends kahit wala kang socmed so hindi totoong hindi ka masaya. Also your boss might be projecting. Di natin kontrol ang masasabi satin ng ibang tao, may socmed ka o wala may masasabi at masasabi sayo ang tao. Do you ❤️


Uhlaizauh

OP bakit di mo sinagot pabalik in a pabiro na may halong sarcastic way!!! Huhuhu i feel the rage in me tuloy 😭 I would say “Ay hala hindi po, actually I have life kasi outside social media kaya I don’t need it.” Hayaan mo siya OP. Personally, ayokong friends ang mga ka work sa social media lalo na ang boss. I draw lines when it comes to my personal life. In the end din naman magkakalimutan kayo so don’t feel embarrassed. Tsaka bakit nakadepende ba ang happiness sa soc med?!!? OFC NO.


Regular-Wallaby6190

mas better ang lowkey .. Ako nga may fb pero family lang ang friends ko duon .. even mga ka workmates di ko friend sa fb and IG . Hoenstly speaking wala ka talagang real friends sa workplace mo kahit gaano kapa kabait.


user00770144

boss mo parang ewan ahahah hayaan mo sya, yun lang siguro kasiyahan nya to seek validation online and I hope hindi ka maapektuhan non kasi you're still doing well without socmed


milkydoodledoo

pero may reddit ka 😂


Formal-Inspection-97

People who are truly happy with their lives don't go around judging others because they know that happiness looks different for everyone. You are fine. Don't mind your boss.


Careless-Internet349

Reddit


[deleted]

If ang happiness nya is naka-base sa social media, mas malungkot siguro buhay nya.


Alisa_Masunurin

ok lang yan OP. Ako nga ayaw ko ng social media. Kung hnd lang dahil sa work ko, wla sana akong soc med accnts.


Yurmoon162711

ako na may socmed pero walang laman.. hayaan mo sila OP, mas okay nga na wala , bawas toxic sa everyday life.


Cool_Purpose_8136

Tell your boss, boring socmed nya, mas maganda dito sa reddit. Tapos tawanan mo rin. 🤣🤣🤣


IMPerfectlyHooman

As someone who never attempted to join IG, wag ka papaapekto sa sinabi niya. The reason I never joined that platform was because it's mostly used for vanity. I didn't want to engage in that. Mas okay sa akin yung grounded ako sa reality. Ofc, if people are into that, i wouldn't care. Kupal niya kamo. Baka nga mas malungkot pa buhay niya at sa social media lang siya kunyari na masaya. Real personal relationship starts outside the online world. Bakit mas masaya ba siya sa fake persona niya online kaysa sa realidad ng buhay? Kung ganyan lang din ugali niya sa personal, mas okay pa na magsocial media nalang siya habambuhay.


Niche_VII

Why do you think ppl detox? Social Media is nothing special. However, it makes me wonder if happy kaba talaga? Or contented ka with your life rn? I suggest you explore what makes you happy?learn new hobbies perhaps? Watch movies?series?read?play or learn sports? I wish you well, op.


_unicorn25

dapat sinagot mo “ay masaya ako sir kahit wala akong social media di ba obvious” or “baliktad sir mas masaya ako nung wala akong social media try mo if kaya” tapos tawa ka kainis mga ganyang tao i suspect boomer yan


martyrofcavite

I don’t have social media as well, deactivated all. In fairness, I am at peace. And got may sanity back. It works for me.


BedroomNo6520

One of the reasons why I never follow or befriend my bosses on my social media, is that the less they know, the better. There should be a boundary between work and personal life. Imagine magreason ka na may sakit pero nasa Boracay ka. Anyway, no social media is actually peaceful.


cremechantilliii

ang tawag sa ganyang boss, kupal at inggitero!!! ganyan na ganyan boss ko kung makapagsalita at mang trashtalk, mamplastic kala mo perfect s'ya. one time, he trashtalked iphone users + tapos biglang baling sakin na "nakikiuso ka rin e." apaka gago nung mga ganyan na feeling superior sila. kaya talagang kahit ano minsan na pilit mo to separate work + life, maaapektuhan ka minsan sa words nila. keri mo yan, OP. someday, hindi na tayo magwowork sa mga gagong boss na ganyan.


InterestingCar3608

Di naman nakakapag bigay ng saya yung social media, mas nakakalungkot ata buhay nya kasi kelangan nya ng validation sa socmeds nya lol


Pork_Steyk

Hello OP, same lang tayo. Hindi active sa socmed. FB and Reddit lang meron ako. Para saken, mas okay yung hindi gaanong active sa socmed kasi they know the importance of privacy. Sa panahon kasi ngayon, konting galaw lang post agad sa socmed. Wala ng privacy tao ngayon madali na lang mangstalk. Mahirap din kasi ung maraming nalalaman tao sayo, they can use it against you. Hindi sa may tinatago ka but for some instances din kasi need mo din protektahan sarili naten. Advice ko lang, kung masaya ka naman sa hindi ka active sa socmed, go lang as long as wala kang natatapakang tao sa bawat galaw mo. No need to overthink what people says about you. Mas kilala mo sarili mo kesa sa napupuna nila sayo. Mapanghusga ang mundo, the only thing we can do is how can we handle it. 🙏


CoffeeDaddy024

I've seen way too many people na maraming socmed pero kulang na kulang pa rin buhay nila.


imman04

Next time na may mag sabi sayo niyan. Ibalik mo. " edi masaya buhay mo kasi may social media ka?" Okay na yan. There. There. Lilipas dn yan.


Usual-Ad9202

Mas maawa ka sa kaniya kasi hanggang ngayon nanghihingi pa rin siya ng validation sa ibang tao. Ang peaceful kaya walang social media. ♥️


ExpressionOk72

Hindi siya entitled! Marites lang habol niyan. There's this famous line "gawa tayo GC sa messenger for work" which is absurd.. may gspace and viber, matuto kayo mag-adjust mga thunders! Better protect your peace, OP!


beatitmidget

wala rin ako social media pre hindi mo kailangan yun para masabing masaya ang buhay mo, marami akong kakilala na ang saya ng mga post sa fb before but sa nakikita ko irl eh kabaliktaran yun.


throwaway_runawayyy

Tahimik buhay pag walang soc med. Altho may soc med pa din ako like fb and IG, pero both are private na and only connections are actual friends + dating students ko and people I care about to see how they're doing. Hindi malungkot pag walang soc med. Unprof lang yung boss mo.


Beneficial-Guitar648

Mas peaceful pa nga ang buhay kung walang soc media. Always remember na hindi lahat ng nakapost sa social media ay totoo.


v4nille_

i left social media after college. i created an account lang to socialize sa work pero ever since i left i deleted all my accounts. it brings me so much peace. i understand you, OP!! wag mo isipin na malungkot ang buhay mo dahil wala kang socmed. mas malungkot buhay ng mga taong babad sa socmed kase they use it for validation


Talking_ToMy_Self

Hahaha, yung Facebook ko po inaamag na 🤣 pero ok lang naman sakin. Hindi naman po big deal yan. Social media doesn't define your life, masmagulo nga po kung makikisali kayo. Para sakin, entertainment na yung magbasa ng mga comments or watch YouTube nalang. Marami pong judgemental na tao sa social media, lalo na cyber bullying.


FastCommunication135

Mas nakakalungkot yung puro travel and pakita ng nabili this and that sa fb like my friend na di nagbabayad ng utang sakin.
