Let’s face it. We all know people who “over-post” on Facebook. Or who are Debbie Downers. You’ve probably bitten your tongue once or twice about to spill the beans about your friend’s annoying tendencies. Well, good news. You can just share this article on your wall and let it do the talking for you. Hopefully, the right pepper will take the hint! Read it first, afterall you might be doing one of these things, I admit to being guilty of one of them.
DON’T SHARE TOO MANY PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK
Research shows that we tend to find people who over-share photos on Facebook are less relevant. Specifically, when we share a large number of photos with friends, our relatives will not like it, and when we post a large number of photos with our family, our friends will not like it. solution? Please post as much content as you need without worrying or being more sensible about what you post. Instead of posting 10 photos every time you do something in a group, posting only one, or trying to post nothing at all, and be completely present at the moment. You might like it.
DON’T COMPLAIN A LOT
Sometimes we just need to let off some steam in the form of some good old-fashioned venting. Please be careful not to complain too much around others-even worse, be seen as someone who has been doing this. Psychologist Guy Winch said: “Long-term complainers continue to produce negative emotions and pose a huge challenge to those around them. Nothing can make long-term complainers more painful and happier than their friends.” Please pay attention to how many complaints you have in a day, or your first voice against a person or situation is usually negative. If so, others may have noticed. Also, think about it: Have you ever met someone and thought: “I love them because they are so negative!”? maybe not.
DONT OVER SHARE!
Research shows that if we share too much personal information too early, it usually drives others away. Usually, it takes enough time or sharing experience with others to disclose something truly private. Jumping the gun and telling someone about all the prescription drugs you are using, or your last boyfriend cheated on you, this may make them uncomfortable when sharing prematurely.
DONT COVER YOUR OWN NERVOUSNESS TO NOT BE ALOOF
Psychologist Fredrick Nueman pointed out in an impressive article in “Psychology Today” that sometimes we make some mistakes, trying to appear somewhat reserved or aloof in order to conceal our Nervousness, especially when meeting someone for the first time. However, he said that doing his best to make himself look interested and involved is actually a better way to be likable. “Being interested in someone makes you look more interesting.” he wrote. If you know that you will be retained or even “too cool” as a defense mechanism, then it is your goal to try and observe the feelings of the next social interaction with a sincere and open attitude.
DONT Humblebrag
According to a study out of Harvard Business School, the humblebrag — or that thing some people do when trying to brag without seeming like it — is actually just as annoying as straight-up regular bragging. The study found that humblebragging even comes off worse than constant complaining, as the complainer at least comes across as sincere. So the next time you find yourself about to do it, check yourself!
