Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include, trying my best to stay safe by not talking about my private life too much and making sure the people I talk to are people that I have known for some time or am close friends with. I also try to not be too negative or be too personal, also I avoid clicking weird links and try my best to stay safe online.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are by frequently communicating with them, mostly through video games. I try to consistently stay in touch with my online friends and I talk to them frequently.
I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, including being seen in a negative light by many people so I adjust my actions to make sure that I am not seen in a negative light but instead am seen in a positive light. I do this so that anyone who tries to find out more about me through online techniques can see me in a good way.
