There are days when I barely open the app.
Since the store closed, his wife has been bedridden with a fever, the roof has been leaking, and construction work on the drainage pipes behind the store has suddenly started, causing a continuous loud noise that has meant the toilet and kitchen are unusable, making the store owner feel a bit uneasy.
I wrote in an article the other dayNot encouragingIn fact, I felt like I was giving off a negative vibe, so I took a break from blogging and social media. I barely looked at the internet except for the news for several days.
Social media requires balance and mental stability
Previously, an Asian chicken rice restaurant owner commented that "Usaboku is just putting people down as entertainment to get his (Internet) audience excited."
"Hanging Out Vicious Gourmet Bloggers" was a popular signature menu item at the restaurant for some time after it opened.
Recently, it has become difficult to provide good ingredients because they are hard to come by. (Also, I got a little bored.)He doesn't like the act of people talking about a restaurant as if they understand it after only visiting it once, and he criticizes gourmet bloggers as a necessary evil, saying that it's not good for the food and beverage industry as a whole if inconsiderate reviews are rampant on the internet.
I've never had the experience of being criticized when I criticize a store on my blog, so I think the content will only escalate.
To counter malicious food bloggers, we should counter malicious restaurant owners.
Well, that's the official reason, but it's fun to make fun of them, including the people who wrote the reviews, and use them as material.
However, since the premise of your posts is that your followers will enjoy them, avoid using language that may be offensive or give a negative impression to those who see it. Be mindful of internet literacy, target selection, power balance, and word choice, and stay within the bounds of what is appropriate.
The idea is to preserve the freshness of the ingredients, let them mature for a while, and then wrap up a little malice in kindness and compassion to create a crisp finish.
I'd be happy if it was a slight grin with the corners of my mouth turning up.
When thinking about balanced posts, I think the most important prerequisite is to be "calm and able to objectively view your own emotions."
When you're feeling down, take a break from social media
As a shop, we use blogs and social media, so I think it's important to continually post updates so that customers don't forget and to deepen our interactions with them.
However, I think it's best to hold back a little when your feelings are wavering.
If you are not able to see yourself objectively, you may be emotionally affected by other people's posts, which may make you feel even more depressed, and your posts and comments may lack consideration and you may not be able to use clever phrases.
If someone were in that situation and saw something negative written about the store, they might not even think about the reader and might end up attacking the person's social position and personality as well.
Some people may enjoy this, but as a shop owner, I don't want it to happen, and it's a bit risky when you consider the business of the shop.
So, when you're feeling unsettled, even though it may slow down your replies, try to consciously avoid opening the app.
It's best not to use social media as an outlet for venting your emotions, and even if you do write negative content, it's best to turn it into a positive expression.
Interactions between people on the internet and interactions with people in everyday life are not that different, but because it's not face-to-face communication, I think we need to be more delicate in our interactions.
