Social media has become a significant part of our lives in modern-day society.

We use social media for so much, whether it be entertainment, job opportunities, news, or connecting with friends and family.

We wake up in the morning, and the first thing we look for is our smartphones to see what we missed on social media while we were asleep.

When we are traveling to work, we are looking at social media to kill the time.

While we are at work, we steal several moments to look at social media to connect with friends or fellow co-workers.

When we are exercising at the gym after work hours, we have our headphones on listening to our favorite creator on social media.

Upon arriving home, we make dinner, all the while conversing with friends and family on social media.

Social media is such a massive part of people’s lives; we literally can’t imagine a day where we don’t interact with it in some capacity.

This is why the thought that there are people out there who have no social media is literally an alien concept to most people.

This instantly makes you think that this must be a red flag.

Why wouldn’t he have social media?

It is so out of the norm, you instantly think that something must be seriously wrong with him.

Keep in mind that not having social media isn’t an instant sign he lacks social credibility.

There are lots of people who have no social media but have a robust social circle of friends and family.

He goes out into the real world and hangs out with these friends and family.

When he isn’t in their physical presence, he is communicating with them regularly through phone calls, video chats, and text messages.

He is charming, hilarious, and a natural social butterfly.

It’s just that he doesn’t want to be on social media.

Sometimes, this is a man who has already had social media in the past.

He had the same social media you currently have.

Nevertheless, he eventually came to the conclusion that social media was a platform filled with people desperately seeking validation, creating fake lives to keep feeding this validation from people at large.

He realized the truest relationships he has had in his life were with people he befriended in the real world.

While he was on social media, he ran up the number of followers, thanks to his social skills, but came to learn that these so-called friends were nothing but facetious.

There were several times he was at his lowest, but they were unhelpful.

Yes, they provided empty words of support, but when it came to real substantive deeds of said support, they weren’t helpful.

Thanks to this eye-opener, he gave up social media entirely.

Instead, he chose to focus the lion’s share of his social efforts on making real relationships with real people in the real world.

Someone who has no social media isn’t an automatic red flag.

There are people who have very full and rich social lives while deliberately choosing not to have social media.
