It's especially a problem to explain that you don't have any particular popular social media account.

Same goes with applying for jobs. I've had some recruiters and interviews look at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them I have no social media by the likes of Facebook, Instagram, etc. Like I'm sorry, I didn't realize broadcasting my life online was a requirement to be gainfully employed

Things like this work out for the best I find. I like working at a place where no one cares how eccentric I am as long as I do my job. I have a coworker, and legit I do enjoy working with him, but when politics comes up I don't engage with him.
