Mark is just wrong about this.

I don’t want to have to care about all the unwritten body-rules. I just want to use Instagram to document my life, but I’m done with all that now. My friend Mark, who told me I was naive to think this was going to go any other way, said I should have been ready for the onslaught, and I shouldn’t quit Instagram but instead “just be less bold.” The term “bold” of course, means having the temerity to not cover up my body, to not wear a long sleeved, high-necked shirt while out paddle-boarding.

Mark is just wrong about this. You trusted your friends to not be so thoughtless. That shouldn’t be thought of as naive.

And no the answer is not to respond as if you did something wrong which is how he is making this sound. That’s on them actually. They were the ones going on about a body part instead of seeing you enjoy a day out in the sun and water and be happy for your happiness. They need to change. Not you.
