The Power of Being Low Key | Why You Should Be a Private Person

[@Azr721]

I'm a young girl who rarely posts anything in social media, like I can go for a whole year without posting anything. And one time I was DMing with a former classmate and he said "do you ever leave the house?" I asked why you asking me this weird question and he said "because you never post anything on social media". 😂😂 It's was funny and mind-blowing how people really think you are some kind of prisoner and you're not living life unless you're posting everything on social media as an evidence and proof to the world that you are really living life...

[@tequilachanel7312]

Soo true

[@christinemalary]

"There is no more modesty or mystery left"... Yep. Nailed it 👌

[@hollyskilbeck5818]

I got off social media 2 1/2 weeks ago. - the only reason i use youtube is to watch videos like these. Self love and self help videos. I have realised I have my boyfriend and one other friend. No one elses needs to know anything. I am suceeding and winning at life ( in my own eyes ). I journal and reflect on what I can do better everyday and as long as I'm happy and thriving no one but my cloest friends and fam ily need to know anything. Getting off SM has been the best thing I have ever done and I really dont think I'll be going back. Im happy and healthy.

[@eugenianyameke2855]

Well done 👍🏿 keep moving forward 👌🏿

[@casualles]

Nice presentation. When I was younger this was called a "personal life". We were taught as children that whatever happened in the home was not to be shared randomly with the world. As well, most people respected the personal lives of others. You wouldn't dare ask personal questions. If you did, you were probably immediately put in your place. I don't know exactly how or when we got away from that, but we need to get back to being low key as you stated here. Thanks!

[@sophiasmith5949]

Probably because people started abusing other peoples personal life.

[@SabbyIqbal]

Thank you for sharing!

[@karinam4115]

Keeping it private is more respect for ourselves.

[@WonderfulWorldofAwesomeness]

It also causes jealousy, resentment, etc. which are all sins

[@nadineskye7050]

@@sophiasmith5949 Both my parents were abused as children by their parents and they were expected to "keep quiet" as to maintain the appearance of a happy family life. I'm not saying that oversharing on social media is right either, but there should be a happy balance.

[@theguynextdoor4978]

80% of people don't care about us or our problems, and 20% are glad we have them. I learned this the hard way. Privacy is a boundary we set between ourselves and others. As for social media, I only post harmless stuff. Some travel shots here and there, but nothing that can really harm myself or others. Social media can be used for something constructive, and good. But it can also be abused to cause harm, indoctrinate others and contribute to people losing touch with reality.

[@WonderfulWorldofAwesomeness]

I miss the days when the only way I knew where my friends went for a meal was if I worked at that particular restaurant, or if I happened to run into them that evening. It’s exhausting seeing people update their social media accounts with every single thing that they do, and it makes it feel as though they are doing things so that they have content for their social media. Sometimes I want to update my social media and say “I went on vacation and didn’t post any pictures on Instagram!”

[@Zelda1UP]

But being mysterious so people have a stronger desire or attraction to you is also seeking validation in a sense…

[@blairesque]

That’s why people should change their mindset and not cosplay.

[@melvinsamson5684]

But the aim should never be to seek attraction or desire by being mysterious. It should naturally occur as a byproduct of you placing your privacy and happiness above all else and not for the sake of social media gimmicks

[@sixthsky5376]

Unless this is the way you are in which it’s just a perk of your personality.

[@HandsomeJigglypuff]

So be mysterious without any intentions.

[@bink865]

I respect the opinions of 1) myself 2) close friends 3) genuine experts Why would I offer up my life for approval by any other person?

[@edlorens]

Hmm, something to aspire. Promote reflections, ability to observe from sideways, quiet wisdom that creates abundance of protective shield and strength in adverse situations. "...five (5) truths of low-key people: 1. They’re laid back. 2. They’re not into drama. 3. They avoid extra attention. 4. They are really easy to get along with. 5. They make for great, stress-free relationships." Nice summary. I could learn a lot from friends like that. Thanks. Thumb up.

[@vanessamansfield4252]

I really resinate with what your saying and it so represents how i live my life , you are right , i gave up scocial media 5 yrs. ago , so much insecurties and looking for approval from ppl.who you think are your friends but in reality are only attention seeks, it made me look deeper inside myself and questioned why i was there, you know what i mean , it wasn"t my platform ....you hit a high note when you mentioned about family being your enemy and i so experianced that as well , more free and move in silence,it feels great ...Thank you

[@SabbyIqbal]

Thank you for sharing!

[@linadiaz7101]

Thank you.. loved your content... I strongly agree with you.. I have also decided to be as low key as possible, one thing I notice is that I feel a lot less drained and exhausted, I have also discovered that there is no point on many of the things that are said on a day to day basis, a lot of people talk too much about very unimportant things. I have been loving being quiet. I will be checking out more of your videos.

[@Movieclips_101]

Being mysterious is the best way 💯

[@Zelda1UP]

People can have a persona in real life too. Social media has just made it easier. Before social media people had other ways to seek validation from others. Whether it’s material things or lifestyle habits …whatever! I think it’s something that will never go away because people are competitive and want to better than others to feel good about themselves. And as you said a lot of people grew up without validation or love and they overcompensate that by trying to get approval from others. Not everybody grew up with love… and so if they feel they want to post on social media because it gives them the validation they are lacking then so be it. Do I think there are healthier ways? Sure but I think if there were better ways people would be doing that. There are lots of lonely men and women who post and connect with others online so they feel a sense of community because their current environment lacks that. Before social media we had local communities and we were less lonely because people connected more in person… we don’t have that anymore unfortunately and I’d take that back in a heartbeat. I looked for a video like this because it’s becoming more and more of a discussion about privacy online and I’m still struggling to understand your perspective but I want to learn and be open to it. I see the benefits of both sides honestly. The difference is I post because I don’t care what other people think about my life or business. I update my life to the people I care about so I don’t have to call 10 people and say hey I just had a baby or whatever you know? I hope I’m making sense. I do like this video though and looking for more videos on this subject.

[@NoMoreTears64]

You are 1,000% correct. "Most people don't really care about you or your life". I knew this but it has become more evident to me in the past several months since my son died. There is no support, maybe 5 "likes", "hearts", or "hugs" when i am having a rough day and share a "memory". Im done. I have kept my account because there are hundreds of pictures on it of him and others who have passed away. But im going to go back to the way it was in a time before I got social media. I am 64 and Thankfully I remember such a time before we were slaves and addicted to phones, computers, and social media.

[@kingruler8309]

Im so low-key that I've never used social media ever😂 real is rare fake is everywhere

[@hhhoneycomb]

I love this. I’m leaning towards this lifestyle. As an extreme extrovert before now I’m shifting towards a more low key person, and to become more conscious about it.

[@trialanderrorbym.f]

Everything u said r facts,I experienced it all,I dnt deleted my social media,I just dnt post anymore,feel on top of the world.

[@LeeChanel05]

My siblings and I just finished watching this!! LOVED IT!!! Thank you so much for this!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@hemanthraj8774]

Can you share any book which tells about how to stay lowkey??

[@ac9938]

This video has made me realise that I am having the wrong people in my life because many people think how I live my life is boring

[@shandaw7521]

I have 2 sides to me when I meet people. I have a representative and I have the real me. Only those closest to me know me everyone else get the representative. Call it being a liar I call it protection

[@cathychats]

We've all become attention addicts

[@angelosliotscos8405]

I have been kicked off every social media. I do not bother going back to where I am unwelcome. Their loss, not mine.

[@fortevond]

[@parisdestine]

Love how you explained it!!

[@majesticmelloww]

This is a message I was seeking and needed to hear. Thank you!

[@nocturneowl2660]

Great video. I watched it twice. Thank you!

[@akankshax1738]

yea, like when i come across a nice or entertaining scene in a movie and my first instinct is to share it on twitter only to realise ive deleted it 💀 but yea my point was instead of fully enjoying the thing and living in the moment ,, my dirst instinct of sharing it first on social media to get their validation. now that's toxic

[@omegamcbride]

This is the life. Thank you for a simple, yet very substantial message. Continue Courageously

[@mylifemosaic2375]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for shedding light on this topic. 💚

[@sonurejuven3209]

Nice video. Could you please make a video on how the word force you to accept the ongoing fashion trend even if you don't want to follow it.

[@ejeffe]

I like mellow, lowkey person. I cannot be around with super hype extreme extrovert too much for me. I found the right person me and my boyfriend are same we like simple stuff, and so happy together.

[@Angell_Lee]

Have you thought of doing Podcast? Your voice and the music you've put it so calming and enlightening.

[@theafricancoolkid5533]

Thanks for sharing this knowledge, I appreciate it.

[@mermaidlu5125]

your 100% right

[@Zelda1UP]

A women who isn’t modest can still be admired, loved and be mysterious it has nothing to do with what she is wearing (or not wearing.) think back to nude sculptures of humans. They hold a lot of value because it displays the human body as a work of art. If you don’t admire a woman’s body because she’s not hiding it then it has more to do with your personal beliefs and your experience with you feeling uncomfortable around naked bodies.

[@johannwilder1437]

Can someone be popular and at same time be a private person

[@SabbyIqbal]

Yes. You can have a popular public image, but your private life can be completely your own. No one needs to know what you do unless you tell them
