Commenting on your friend’s post
I love macarons. They come in different sizes but in one shape. When you eat a macaron, it melts in your mouth. However, when the macaron dissolves, it makes you guilty because you bit into it, applying much more force than required. So when a friend posted her cooking experiments on social media, the pictures lured me. While browsing through the photos, I saw a comment by her friend. Are you not working today? What interested me was the reply where my friend explained that these were pictures from the weekend.
Many had posed the same question to me when I posted pictures on social media in the past. I am not active on social media these days, but there was a time when I was very engaged. During those days. I have faced the same question. Are you not working today? This type of question often pushed me into a guilt trip. Although my friend’s reply showed no guilt, the response made me go down memory lane as my answer, under the same circumstances, would be a way to justify my actions. So I analyzed the reasons that controlled my behavior.
The first and the foremost reason for my behavior was social pressure. I felt that the person who posted the question was judging me. This reaction is weird because I shared it on social media to get noticed, but I wasn’t ready for the kind of attention that my action fetched. Considering this fact, I should not have refrained…
