Don't Listen To Shit-fluencers.

As we venture into the wild world of social media, we encounter many different species of the shit-fluencer.
These mysterious creatures generally hide away in all corners of the digital world waiting for something to go viral.
They prance around in public domains and puff themselves up in a display of bravado to get attention. They often populate the local gyms, but can also be found in grocery stores talking about packaged foods, doing stupid exercises in random places in public as well as getting passive aggressive when others walk through their videos.
We often see the male shit-fluencers topless with a recently waxed torso smouldering in a golden freshly tanned glow. On their bottom half you’ll notice they either wear short shorts, budgie smugglers, or basically underwear, all of which deliberately hug their buttocks and groin region. This is a display of superiority and designed to intimidate any insecure followers into more insecurity so they buy whatever shit is being sold.
The females are generally the most outrageous of the shit-fluencer genders. They can always be found wearing ridiculously tight tights or leggings that are so well fitted they clearly display what the female ate for lunch. In fact, these tights or leggings are so tight it is almost impossible to tell if they can actually be removed at all. It is widely assumed by the scientific community that the answer is no and the tights actually evolve out of the anus of the individual, seeing as they are so far up there.
Be careful when you encounter one of these creatures in the digital wild. They can be chaotically unpredictable, especially if you walk through one of their videos, or if you attempt to provide factual evidence that counteracts their argument. Rest assured though, even though they produce an outrageous display of ego and arrogance, the shit-influencer is a very fragile being whose entire credibility can come crumbling down with the slightest hint of inauthenticity or bullshit…..which is pretty much all of what they say.
Well folks, that was actually pretty fun to write!
I was going to add in some links to examples of these types of people, but I shall refrain this time.

Alongside a bit of a laugh, your take aways here are:
1) Question everything you hear, especially on social media. If it can’t be backed up by reputable information or the same outcomes from other experts, then what they are saying is probably a load of bullshit.
2) Don’t get sold on the quick fix that’ll promise to change your life in the next 30 days. The way you win for the rest of you life when it comes to you health and wellbeing is doing the unsexy, unglamorous, consistent behaviours: regular challenging movement, balanced diet, fulfilling social connections, self reflection and love and nature time will always do the trick.
