I’ve never had a Facebook account or any other social media. I know they keep shadow profiles, but I’ve never given permission. I never had any interest and frankly still don’t.

The problem I’m having is that I don’t exist online when people try to look me up. When someone tries to check me out, there’s nothing there and apparently that’s considered abnormal these days. I think it’s starting to affect my life negatively for various reasons I’d rather not get into.

I’d just like some advice about where to start if you wanted to dip your toes in and check it out. LinkedIn, maybe?

    While I do consider this my social media outlet it’s different in a few ways. If I meet someone new in person and they’re interested in my online presence

    1. I am not giving out this username
    2. they wouldn’t understand or know what to do with it even if I did

      Your username is a fairly common noun and an incredibly common, er, auxiliary verb?

      They can’t do anything with it by sticking it into Google!
