A self-described introvert, Noor, has found an unexpected platform for her writing on LinkedIn, despite previously shying away from social media. For years, Noor maintained a minimal online presence – no profile picture on WhatsApp, a small Instagram following of 40-50, and a preference for experiencing life over documenting it.
Initially hesitant,NoorS foray into LinkedIn began with a single post.Disheartened by the lack of immediate response, she briefly retreated. Though, encouragement from her mother, who questioned why she was concealing her passion for writing, prompted a return.
Over time, Noor discovered a supportive community on the platform, despite encountering criticism and negativity. She now shares humorous and reflective content, realizing that waiting for the absence of judgment is a futile endeavor.
“You love writing. Why are you hiding it?” her mother asked,a sentiment that ultimately propelled her forward. Noor’s experience serves as a reminder that starting,even with limited initial support,can be the catalyst for personal and creative growth. She encourages others to overcome their reservations and begin sharing their voices, regardless of fear or expectation.
