Maija KoivulaI was thinking about boundaries and LinkedIn.
One day on LinkedIn I saw the same man on my feed twice, once he was complaining when people reject his devil's-advocate comments in their posts, because "you shouldn't be online unless you want to be interacted with" (and that is a very bad take, not far away from lengths of skirt), later that day he was upset that someone had given him a negative comment and he'd had to block them so he wouldn't get "bad comments" that tarnish his profile. That is an interesting interior world view to have.
I've adopted a delete comment approach on LinkedIn. When I write about my professional opinions and insights on a professional platform, having some man twenty years my junior who didn't exist for many years yet before the year I started playing video games giving me aggressive and derogatory comments, I find engaging in bad faith "discourse" a completely meaningless exercise of wasting time, when ten out of ten times these tend to be thinly veiled attacks on my person rather than the subject matter at hand. Which is not something I want a potential recruiter to read on my professional profile about my person.
Deleting a comment is less drastic than blocking someone, and you don't need to have a whole conversation about it. Just delete and proceed with your life.
Having boundaries doesn't make you a bad person. It actually gives you more space for yourself physically and mentally, and having that makes you more balanced and self-assured. Calmer. You don't need to take anything online that you wouldn't take on the street in your regular life.
