The grid is curated. Stories are raw. Here's how to read them to understand someone's real communication style.
Instagram posts are carefully curated. Stories? Not so much. Stories are where people show up as they actually are — and that's valuable information.
What Stories Reveal
Daily life: Stories show what someone's day-to-day actually looks like. Not just the highlights, but the routine, the moments, the reality.
Communication style: How do they talk in stories? Funny? Serious? Chaotic? This is their natural communication style — match it in your messages.
What they care about: What do they story about? Their work? Their friends? Their hobbies? This reveals their priorities.
Authenticity: Stories are harder to fake than posts. If someone's stories feel genuine, that's a green flag. If they feel performative, that's worth noting.
How to Use This Information
When you message, reference what you've seen in their stories. It shows you're actually paying attention, not just looking at their curated grid.
"That place in your story looked amazing. Where is that?"
"Your story about [topic] was hilarious. Had to say hi."
These messages work because they're specific to what you've actually seen them share.
