Paranoid or Cautious?

When I see cute little posts on social media that says things like, "show me a picture of. . . " Or "your first 5 emojis describe your. . . ", my first reaction is nope! I feel like I’m being asked to offer a piece of myself to some unknown entity.

Am I being paranoid?

My husband actually warned me against doing any of those quizzes etc like you mentioned due to ppl commonly using the words and phrases they use for answers to figure out identities and passwords. So yeah. I’m paranoid! But for a different reason LOL :rofl::rofl: oh apparently fly they actually store and keep your information.

Yes in a way your being paranoid imo. Only due to I agree with what @KylaD said. For security purposes I def would not do this if it was for information or anything to do with statistics. Due to the corruption in the gov. And scammers.

For spiritual reasons ehhh.i don’t think itapplies really. Deities/entities can understand know ur mind without this or any info imo

Ps. I suggest everyone have at the least VPN protection on ur laptops/computers/phones. I am using avast VPN protection. Also, do not accept cookies from websites. Do not use the same password for everything or make it something simple to guess. Change passwords often. Make sure when on any device or anything you manage the permissions given to any app or anything. I went through and changed my privacy on everything I possibly could.

Yes! This. I probably should have used more generalized wording. More so I feel like it’s for nefarious reasons.

This right here is why you shouldn’t do it. There are people, companies, and organizations that mine the internet for personal data that can be used to hack your social media, Google or even bank accounts. Cute as they are, just pass them by when you see those posts.

yeah, people can be like that sometimes, and I would continue to do as you are doing and be ‘paranoid’, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your mental well being. if you feel like you need some magical protection from things like that, maybe make a drawstring pouch of some sort filled with herbs that you feel are appropriate in that situation.
blessed be!

I used to do those things but something started feeling “off” about it, so I just don’t anymore. Go with your gut feeling. If your first reaction is “nope” just don’t do them.
