MY SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE
RAVI KALAINI
I don’t usually post much on Facebook, but I’m pretty much always active there. If you want to connect, feel free to send me a friend request—I’ll definitely accept it. You can also message me anytime if you need to talk or just want to say hi. I might not post, but I do check everything regularly.

I actively use LinkedIn to share my academic and professional achievements, along with updates on my regular activities. If you're interested in staying connected professionally or just want to see what I’m up to, feel free to send me a connection request. I’m always open to meaningful conversations and networking.

I don’t really upload much on Instagram, but I’m always scrolling and checking stuff. So if you want to connect there, go ahead and follow me—I’ll follow back for sure. You can also drop me a message anytime. Just because I don’t post doesn’t mean I’m not active. I see everything!
TIKTOK

I rarely post on TikTok, but I do check it once in a while. So if you come across my profile, don’t be surprised if it looks quiet—I’m just not that active there.
MY THOUGHTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA POSTING
IN TODAY'S DIGITAL AGE, IT FEELS LIKE PEOPLE HAVE DEVELOPED A HABIT OF SHARING EVERY MINOR DETAIL OF THEIR LIVES ONLINE. POSTS LIKE "SUNDAY SPECIAL," "OUT TO THE PARK," OR GENERIC CAPTIONS ABOUT "HAPPY HOMENTS" HAVE BECOME INCREDIBLY COMMON. AND TO BE HONEST, IT COMES ACROSS AS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE.
SOCIAL MEDIA, AT ITS BEST, SHOULD BE A PLACE TO SHARE MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES—MOMENTS THAT GENUINELY HOLD VALUE, MEMORIES THAT YOU'LL LOOK BACK ON AND REMEMBER WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE OR EMOTION. NOT EVERY MEAL OR OUTING NEEDS AN AUDIENCE.
WHEN WE OVERSHARE, WE UNINTENTIONALLY BEGIN TO BULITE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TRULY SPECIAL MOMENTS. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU POST; IT'S ALSO ABOUT WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU. YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE REFLECTS YOUR PERSONALITY, AND IF IT STARTS TO LOOK PERFORMATIVE OR OVERLY CURATED, IT CAN GIVE PEOPLE THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU'RE MORE FOCUSED ON APPEARANCES THAN AUTHENTICITY.
IN FACT, CONSTANTLY TRYING TO SHOWCLOSE A HAPPY OR PERFECT LIFE ONLINE CAN SOMETIMES DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT'S INTENDED. IT CAN MAKE OTHERS QUESTION WHETHER THAT HAPPINESS IS GENUINE OR JUST A FAÇADE FOR LINES AND VALIDATION. SO INSTEAD OF SHARING EVERYTHING, I THINK IT'S MORE VALUABLE TO POST WITH INTENTION—ONLY WHEN IT REALLY MEANS SOMETHING.
AFTER ALL, NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE PUBLIC TO BE MEANINGFUL.
