Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has advised people to stop seeking validation on social media.
The comedian stated this in a post on his social media page.
He said people should learn to set boundaries and to be mindful of the content they put out on social media.
Sharing a Twitter post on his Instagram, AY wrote “It’s time to stop seeking validation on social media. No matter d truth or lies about u or your personality, those who love u will still love u.
“Save yourself from depression, and protect your mental health. Connect, spend time & build relationships with real people in real life.”
He added “We need to set boundaries and be mindful of what we share or partake on social media. Balance is key. This is a place where people fly with available information.
“Bloggers will forever go with them relevance and trends. There is no respect or empathy. People seem to think the more negative positions they take, the more relevant they become.
“Some have become judges in issues they know little about and have through bad comments and lack of empathy, sent many to their graves. The search for validation is most often unhealthy because it gives people, especially strangers, too much power in determining one’s self-worth.”
