To limit someone from seeing your posts, most social media platforms allow you to adjust your privacy settings. For example: On Facebook, you can go to Settings & Privacy > Privacy Shortcuts > See more privacy settings. Here, under 'How people find and contact you', you can adjust who sees your posts. Alternatively, when posting, look for the audience selector (often symbolized by a globe or a lock icon) where you can exclude specific people by choosing 'Friends except' and selecting the individuals you want to hide your posts from.
