I was thinking about boundaries and LinkedIn. One day on LinkedIn I saw the same man on my feed twice, once he was complaining when people reject his devil's-advocate comments in their posts, because "you shouldn't be online unless you want to be interacted with" (and that is a very bad take, not far away from lengths of skirt), later that day he was upset that someone had given him a negative comment and he'd had to block them so he wouldn't get "bad comments" that tarnish his profile. That is an interesting interior world view to have. I've adopted a delete comment approach on LinkedIn. When I write about my professional opinions and insights on a professional platform, having some man twenty years my junior who didn't exist for many years yet before the year I started playing video games, I find engaging in bad faith "discourse" a completely meaningless exercise of wasting time, when ten out of ten times these tend to be thinly veiled attacks on my person. Which is not something I want a potential recruiter to read on my professional profile about my person. Deleting a comment is less drastic than blocking someone, and you don't need to have a whole conversation about it. Just delete and proceed with your life. Having boundaries doesn't make you a bad person. It actually gives you more space for yourself physically and mentally, and having that makes you more balanced and self-assured. Calmer. You don't need to take anything online that you wouldn't take on the street in your regular life. #boundaries #settingboundaries #linkedin
