How to Be Discerning With Your Facebook Friends

From freem


Being discerning with your Facebook friends can help you maintain a positive and healthy online presence. Here are some tips to help you be more discerning with your Facebook friends:

1. Assess your current friend list: Take a look at your current friend list and ask yourself if you really know all of these people well enough to share personal information with them. If you don't know them well, consider unfriending or hiding their updates.

2. Set privacy settings: Adjust your privacy settings to control who can see your posts, pictures, and personal information. This will help you avoid sharing personal information with people you don't want to.

3. Use the "Unfollow" button: If you want to remain friends with someone but don't want to see their posts, you can use the "Unfollow" button. This will keep you as friends, but you won't see their updates in your newsfeed.

4. Be mindful of what you post: Consider the potential audience of your posts before you share them. Think about whether it's appropriate to share that information with your Facebook friends or if it's better kept private.

5. Be cautious of friend requests: Be cautious of friend requests from people you don't know. Before accepting a friend request, take a look at the person's profile and ask yourself if you're comfortable sharing personal information with them.

6. Don't be afraid to unfriend: If someone is consistently negative or offensive on your Facebook feed, don't be afraid to unfriend them. Your mental health is important, and you don't need negativity in your life.

By following these tips, you can be more discerning with your Facebook friends and maintain a positive and healthy online presence.
