LinkedIn... The best way to feel like a failure!

I logged in as I haven't done for a while.
Anyways I remembered why I don't bother.
Much like how I used to feel after being on Instagram and Facebook watching people's life progress with boyfriends, husbands and children while at the time I was single and barely even liked in my relationship.
I feel the same about my career.

The place I work at I'm pretty much just there to fill a role. Every attempt I've previously made to engage and participate I've been rejected.
Consequently I just accepted that this is just a job.

My life has since developed in other areas which I'm really happy about.
But I don't use social media to flaunt it.
1. I don't think anyone really cares.
2. It's not really my style to do constant updates about how well things are currently going for me.

This is the first time in my life where I feel like all I wished, prayed and dreamed of is finally coming together. But the fear of previous unsuccess puts a grey tinge over it all.

Comparison really is the thief of joy!

I'm accepting that I need to just stay in my lane.

I ran away from Linkedin as fast I could because too many I had worked with in the past were on and I no interest in interfacing with them. I kept getting messages from there from an old boss which required me to sign in to find out why. It sure as well wasn't he was looking hire me but more likely wanted my help like he always did. He never did a damn thing to help me move forward including salary increases so he could bite me than get lost. I moved all fine without mingling there and see no reason for you to make comparisons there that in no way help you.
I'm actually banned off LinkedIn, and idk the original reason why; I just know my alternate accounts got banned for ban evasion.

I hate Linkedin. More like a chain link fence... Or trench wire.

That's how it feels to me.
