Don’t Click The Crazy Button
Your online reputation will thank you.
While new research shows that social media can be beneficial to your mental health, it isn’t always so kind to your reputation. Whether you are a celebrity or the average Jane, it can be hard to establish appropriate boundaries.
Learn from celebrity mishaps.
A number of celebrities have tried to distance themselves from controversial or over-revealing posts. A lot of those celebrities do this in order to avoid the “walk of shame” for their pushing “the crazy button” publicly. For example, Roseanne Barr blamed her racist tweets on taking Ambien.
Taking prescription drugs isn’t the only explanation — a number of high profile individuals blame these types of embarrassing posts on hackers.
I didn’t say that.
For example, one person who blamed an emotional rant on hackers is Taryn Manning, an actress who played Tiffany “Pennsatucky” Dogget on Netflix’s popular show Orange Is The New Black.
She claimed her Instagram feed was “epically hacked,” in order to explain away the posts that were attacking fellow cast-mates, posts which made many fans concerned about her mental health.
