Sincerely is the Rarest Strategy Online

Sincerity Is Rare But Still Powerful

Hello Steemians 👋

Today i want talk about one thing which i feel after using social media for many years. Maybe some people agree and maybe not, but this is my own thinking.

When i was new on internet i always hear one advice. People say, "Make more online friends, connect with everyone and support each other." I really believe this thing. I spend many time commenting on posts and talking with different peoples.

In starting it was looking very good. Everybody was nice. Everybody saying "bro i support you" or "we grow together."
But after some months i start understanding something.

Most peoples was not there because they like me. They only want support for own account. If i stop commenting then they also disappear. Only few peoples stay connected. This was little disappointing for me but also a good lesson.
I think internet change too much.

Before social media was more about sharing moments with friends and family. Now every app only want our attention. More scrolling means more profit for platforms. Because of this many creators making clickbait titles, fake stories and over acting just for views.
Sometimes i also click these posts but later i feel i waste my time.

For me, sincerity is becoming very rare online. Honest peoples maybe not become famous very fast. Their posts maybe get less likes. But they build something more important, and that is trust.

Trust is slow but very strong.
I personally like creators who share both success and failure. Nobody life is perfect. When someone always show perfect lifestyle, i dont really believe it. Real life have problems, mistakes and struggles.

I also make mistakes in my life and i dont feel shame to accept them. Maybe this is why i believe honesty is better than pretending.
At the end, followers can increase and decrease anytime. Viral post also forgotten after few days. But if someone remember you as a honest person, i think this is biggest achievement on internet.

Thanks for reading my small thoughts.
