๐—ง๐—Ÿ๐——๐—ฅ; Success Porn is wayyyy different than the actual uncensored boring whole story; youโ€™re more than a brand that โ€œperformsโ€ for your โ€œfollowers.โ€

๐’๐ฎ๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง: someoneโ€™s story arc without the details, just the highlights which are inspiring, easily digestible, and leaving out the boring bits of everyday life

๐’๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ ๐๐ซ๐š๐ง๐: becoming a โ€œbrandโ€ and โ€œperformingโ€ a specific โ€œscriptโ€ for your โ€œfollowersโ€ that is engaging and might not be the complete story

๐‘ณ๐’๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‘๐’๐’”๐’•:

I am in love with this book, which is teaching me a lot; I hope this post helps you too!
I have personal problems with people using LinkedIn as a celebration stage rather than what it was supposed to be, a community!

We as humans are constantly being fed โ€œsuccessโ€ standards or the concept that our lives MUST be a straight path from A to B, and if we deviate from taking a break, something must be wrong with us.

Iโ€™m not celebrating on LinkedIn; Iโ€™m calling out, filling it with success porn; such a post might give a sense of completeness in oneโ€™s life (it does to me, tbh), but it also feels like a โ€œperformanceโ€ for the followers.

Social media is a great platform, and one of the most significant use cases is to make a community. I love when someone approaches me with a question here or just advice, and I want to spread a message that screams that Iโ€™m not a person who is on a stage performing for an audience; I am a member of the same platform going about and very much open for interactions.

Our life or career keeps morphing into races & marathons we didnโ€™t register for. Still, if we can spare some time, actually look into the boring of our life (which success porn conveniently skips out) rather than ignoring it, and be our actual selves rather than performing online OR offline, we just might have a chance at being sane in our alone time.
