The Two Main Reasons Why People Who Once Mingled on Social Media Suddenly Disappear

Social media is where we share personal updates and express emotions. When someone is active on social media, they are showing us their life. But what does it mean when someone vanishes from social media? Usually, it’s due to one of these two reasons.

Starting to Hustle and Make Money

In today’s fast-paced world, time is limited but fair to all. Some make the most of their time, creating maximum value. Others, thinking they have time to spare, get lost in social media, not realizing it’s just a glimpse of life, not life itself.

I knew a friend who used to post on social media three times a day, either ads or personal updates. At first, it seemed like a love for life, but eventually, it felt like a waste of time. One day, the updates stopped for almost half a month.

Later, it was revealed that work had taken over his life. Initially lost, he posted fake updates daily to maintain a facade. However, he realized the futility and decided to change. Only when he started loving life did he realize that life gets better when you are better.

After quitting social media, his life became fulfilling. Working hard became his daily motivation, giving him a sense of purpose.

Pleasing Oneself Over Others

David was once an internet enthusiast who dropped out of school early, spending his days playing games at internet cafes. Ridiculed by others, he tried to prove himself by flaunting a lavish lifestyle on social media, funded by his parents.

For three years, he lived a superficial life until he grew tired of pretending. He stopped seeking validation from others, focusing on self-contentment instead. Despite receiving startup funds from his father, he worked diligently and achieved success in two years.

Though he drove fancy cars and dined luxuriously, he never boasted on social media. He realized that proving oneself is futile, as true happiness comes from living authentically, not for others but for oneself.

Recently, a friend shared her story with me:

Formerly in MLM, she showcased a fake wealthy lifestyle online to gain trust. However, she felt empty despite the likes and comments. After years of pretense, she opened a physical store, feeling genuine and content with her real self.

In life, many may struggle with vanity. But being genuine attracts more genuine connections. Living authentically leads to true happiness. Ignore external judgments, focus on living your best life without the need for social media validation.
