A fellow nomad told me my Instagram was "too perfect" and that changed how I post

I was in a co-working space in Medellin last March and some guy I barely knew said my feed looked like a ad for a resort, not real life. He pointed out I only showed beach views and coffee shop shots, never the boring laundry days or the bad wifi struggles. That hit me hard so I started throwing in messy shots like my cluttered desk or a rainy afternoon rant. Now I get way more comments from people who say my stuff actually feels honest. Anyone else get feedback that forced you to change your online vibe?

Wait, so a total stranger just walked up and gave you a reality check on your Instagram like that? That's wild, I would have been so caught off guard lol. But honestly it sounds like he did you a solid, because the messy real life posts always get the most love on my feed too.

A random stranger really gave you a whole reality check? That's insane.

My buddy got that same talk at a BBQ and he still posts nothing but his avocado toast shots.
