Influencing The Public My Own Way

Influencing The Public My Own Way

Photo by Liza Summer

Social life is one of the most difficult lifestyles for me. I am generally shy not just when I am around an audience physically but even online. In no second you will find me shivering like a chicken that has been beaten by rain lol.

Being an influencer is not something that has ever crossed my mind, I mean I have never thought about it but if one would take a close look at it, it's something great, maybe after today, I would start making arrangements to become one but I may have a very big problem in sitting before the camera LoL.



If I were to be a social media influencer, I think my field would be fashion, yeah! I love fashion so much not for myself alone but for people too. I love seeing people look nice. Many individuals are having problems with fashion. They think it's something people do for a show off. However, I won't blame them because there are people who dress well just to intimidate others, and trust me I am not praying to influence such.

There is nothing wrong with looking smart and presentable, sometimes it earns us respect as well, the truth is my own pattern of fashion is going to look totally weird to a lot of people who don't like decent dressing. Gosh! At this point, I wish I was a lady hehe, many ladies don't respect decency anymore, they think fashion is exposing your body parts to the world.



Some of them believe that's the best way to show the world your beauty but no!! Have you seen Arabian women before? If beauty is by exposing your bodies I think they should be the ugliest right? But if you are opportune to see their faces you would know that God is wonderful.

I would try to first of all transform the minds of my fans to see decency as the main goal. You don't need to be rich or poor before you look nice and decent. Wherever you stand is a good ground. One thing I would also be known for apart from decency is being realistic. I learned that most influencers show the public unrealistic things.



They only show the positive side but keep the other part away. And think that is wrong, if you want someone to be like you, you need to show them everything they need to know, let them see both the ugly side and the beautiful side if they can cope fine if they can not let them go. This is one of the problems most celebrities have, they find it extremely difficult to show the public who they really are.

Their lives on the screen are totally different from the ones outside. I know I might change along the line, but then, I will do all it takes to ensure that I stay true and real. One of the reasons why we have many fake people today is because those they are looking up to are also living fake, their followers end up struggling to live what they see and yet not arrive there because it's not real.



Most celebrities only wear those funny dresses we see them with on stage, they don't wear them for their normal lives. I wonder why a lot of us are blind to these things. Well, that's one downside of being an influencer, anything you do has the power to affect the lives of your followers. so live with caution as you don't know whom your life is affecting out there.

Am I Trying To Be An Influencer?

The answer is no for now, but the truth is that all of us are influencers already, people are watching the way we live, and trust me there are many who are looking up to us and already copying what we are doing. So it's best we live cautiously, so as not to ruin the lives of others even without our knowledge.


Thank You For Reading

Thanks for writing.

Never imagined you as a shy fashion guy .. but nothing wrong with that.

I'm certainly not fashionable myself but as I grow older I have learned to respect fashion.

Fashion sets up the first impression and indeed sets the time for social interaction. As you mentioned some women want to be seen as sexy through their lack of clothing.. then again those few bits they hide with clothing.. well the clothing draws attention to what little is hidden. Others dress modestly and cover much but again that draws attention to what isn't hidden (beautiful eyes for example).

There is an art in finding clothes that present an image of a person to the world. I know it exists but have no skill for it myself. If that is something you are talented in then I hope you get the chance to explore that talent. Influencer or not.

As for everyone watching that is true. As a Christian we are called to be an example to the world. An influencer for Christian values. I really want to hide and be anything but seen by being a Christian doesn't allow for that 😞

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed the read

I am very shy sir, though I am not really into fashion yet, I hope to go into that fully when I am ready hehe.

A popular adage says "the way we dress is how we would be addressed" I believe in modest outfits, there is this good name it gives to people. Though anyone who wants to lust would still lust after a person even if the person is wearing the most decent clothes. It's first of all the thing of the heart.

A Christian is like a house set up on top of a hill, so hiding while you are shining is not possible. Even if you manage to hide, people would still see that light😂

I am so glad you enjoyed reading sir, the pleasure is mine

Omo... The only thing that connects me and fashion is the number zero😂
I'm not fashion savvy at all and I've not heard the end of it from my friends. You're doing well! Become an influencer biko, maybe you'll be the one to motivate me to take my fashion more seriously.😛

Hahha.. it's only you, I don't also care much about fashion. I don't have plans of becoming any influencer boss, you better go and learn fashion for yourself, if not you go wait for me old 😂.

Thanks for reading sir

This statement is true, whether online or offline we all need to live right so as to impart younger ones positively

I never really thought about it like that. If you look up to fake people, you to will become fake.

This is a great thought-provoking post.

I tell people around me that you don't have to to have it all before you can dress decent and smart.

You are right about some influencers showing us only the good side to things and that makes some people think about life in one kind of shade.

Thank you for sharing.

Seriously Manny people, think you must be rich before you look nice but that's a lie , the little you have can make you look very smart, all you need is go for what fits you.

Most of those celebrities are too fake ma

Thanks for reading 🥰

You know, I was listening to a podcast recently, and a TikTok influencer said that who she is on social media is different from her reality. Truth is, that's the case with many influencers. It's sad, but it is what it is.

We are all influencers in our little ways, however. People watch us and some emulate us. Living as a good example is one little way to make a difference. I found this on Dreemport

Hehe.. you can imagine, and that's someone somebody is dreaming to becoming like. This life enn🤣 how can become like someone whose life is double, how do you know which one is real, and which one is fake? No wonder many people are chasing trends and to date, they haven't gotten what they are after.

You are right sir, our lives are examples for others, we must learn to live well.

Thanks so much for reading
