Some of us are scared to participate

You have to look at yourself and what you’re doing.

Social Media is about being congruent with who you want to be, and who you actually are.

What stops people from Participating?

No ones says you have to put things online that are not attractive to you.

These are your choices.

Social media is great for introverts, because they have the time to craft their message – which helps them communicate better.
