Most social media platforms are chatting apps and posting about your life. When you make a profile, make sure you don't talk about EVERYTHING in your life. We all have personal stuff and we shouldn't share it to the world. For starters, what do you want people to know you as? Would you like others to call you by your first name, your nickname, or a completely unique name like "Princess Dragon?" Most apps have the option for you to add a bio (a short biography) into your profile. With this, you can tell the world a little about yourself without them knowing everything. For example, you may add "I am _ years old, I enjoy horror movies, and I love my cats Mitten and Socks." If other people are interested in those topics, you have a high chance that person would like to chat with you. Just be careful to not share very person information like your full name and stuff they shouldn't know about.

Profile pictures are one of the most important parts of anyone's profile. Many predictions can come from just a picture. If you were to have yourself as your profile picture, people assume you're just a normal person but this is very risky. There are some strange people online so I wouldn't recommend this option. If you were to have a meme as your profile picture, people would assume you're a funny person to be around. If you have an aesthetic profile picture, people can assume you like that certain aesthetic and others might have similar interests. There are no limits on what you want your profile picture to be, but make it appropriate as people can think of you weird or you can lose your account.

What happens if someone wants to chat with you? What do they enjoy, are they trustable, and are they a great person to talk to? These are all questions most people wonder when they meet someone new. A great way to start is by asking them how they found you and why they decided to chat with you. This can have many opportunities of a conversation. For example, some people can respond with, "I saw your profile picture and thought it was funny so I decided to look at your profile. When I checked your bio, I saw you had the same interests as me so I decided to talk to you." You both could talk about the topics you're interested in and have a long conversation.

What's wrong with this person, why are they bothering me? If someone talks to you in a certain way, block them. When people have problems with others on social media, the problem gets worse and worse the more they continue. If you were to argue with someone on the internet, it's best for you to just stop and block them. There will be no good outcome of it. Yes it may make the person angry, but arguments social media aren't worth it. If they just won't stop attacking you, even after you blocked them, just keep on blocking and blocking their alternate accounts. If it does get to the point where you just give up blocking them, make a new account. They won't know who you are, and you can still add the same people like normal.
