I don't. It's a belief common among asian nations that envious glare can cause bad luck, injury or illness. So a lot of people in my country would buy charms or ornaments to protect them from the evil eye. I don't. I simply don't post personal stuff or brag about what I have or what I possess on social media. Though sometimes I'd post some stuff that brings me joy but I don't post how much I earn, how many cars I have, etc. I don't need external validation or attention.

I don’t think the evil eye is real no matter what anyone posts, bragging or not. I kind of feel sorry for people who let these superstitions affect their lives.

I agree. I also do not like those who posts their wealth for everyone to see and when they get bashed, they complain. I think the moment you post something on social media for public consumption, you are opening the doors for people to criticize you.

No, I do not believe in "evil eye". I avoid to brag because I know that people get envious and you risk to receive rude comments.

I only heard of the evil eye when my mother bought me a pendant to wear when I became a new mother. I wore it for her. I am not on social media except to see posts from my grandkids and nephew. Do you consider myLot social media?

I don't post private things online. I just post what makes me happy. I don't brag about anything.

My social media has nothing from my family and personal life. It's only about valid things from my professional life and causes that I support. I want to enjoy the precious moments in my life and not have the thoughts running in my mind to take pictures and make it worth for sharing.

Instagram is where ei frequently post but it's not for public consumption. It's in private mode and open only to those closest to me or those who share the same interest as me.
