But, How To Manage It?
1) Google Yourself
See What's there about you, and then fixing the problem you as you discover any.
2) Foster Self Expression
Keep in mind that people can tell what kind of person you are by reading your posts and looking at your photos. If you want to give them a good impression, keep your posts positive.
3) Add Friends Slectively and Wisely
Remember, adding friends on your social media is the same as getting to know people in the real world. Indeed, I highly suggest to view social media as platform to communicate with your actual friends rather than as a virtual world. It is all about quality NOT quantity.
