No DMs?

 No DMs?

Oh, the irony of it all,

To post "No DMs" on your social media wall.

You're on a platform designed for connecting,

But you're putting up a sign that says "stay away, I'm not interested in interacting."

Why do you do it?

Is it to feel important?

To make people beg for your attention?

Or are you just afraid of what they might say?

Whatever the reason, it's a bit silly,

To post "No DMs" and then wonder why no one talks to you.

It's like putting up a "No Trespassing" sign on your front lawn,

And then getting upset when people don't come over to visit.

So here's a tip: if you don't want people to DM you,

Just delete your social media accounts altogether.

That way, you can be sure that no one will bother you.

But if you're still on social media,

And you're posting "No DMs,"

Just know that you're sending mixed signals.

You're saying "I want to be connected,"

But you're also saying "I don't want to be connected."

It's like wearing a shirt that says "I love attention,"

But then covering your face with a mask.

It's just confusing.

So make up your mind.

Do you want to be connected,

Or do you not?

If you want to be connected,

Then take down the "No DMs" sign.

But if you don't want to be connected,

Then delete your social media accounts altogether.

But don't be surprised if no one talks to you either way.
