To some
social media gives them happiness and to some it brings sadness. In this era, people use social media to find happiness in their “so-called” non-happy lives.
We are overexposed with information due to social media. When we open
Instagram, we know what people are showing off, when we open Snapchat we know
who is parting where and with whom, when we see tik-tok videos, we know how
entertaining and talented a person can be, when we open twitter we can see how
funny people can be. We are constantly comparing our lives with others. We
don’t know this but this has created a fear in our minds. We get sad after
seeing our friends parting with other people, we get sad by looking at
someone’s travel stories and those fancy vacations. People put posts of everything
they do on their social media i.e. all the positive things that are going on in
their lives because no one posts things about the negativity or pain they go
through. In this way, we are constantly judging each other just because of what
we see on social media platforms. This insists fear in our mind and that fear
is to look stupid and that stop’s us from trying new things that can help us
achieve our dreams and making them into reality. It affects the psychology of a
person as one person always wants to look good in front of other people. So stop comparing and start trying new things
as possible even if it’s small.
Every now
and then we have a habit of checking our social media more than we even check
ourselves. The moment we wake up and the moment we go to sleep we see our
phones. People have made this their life rather than looking at the bier and
more practical world around them. When we meet our friends we talk about the
likes, the comments he/she got on their posts, the place where he/she is
partying, with whom he/she is having fun, the memes we share, etc. This
fear of looking stupid has ruined our minds and can increase the rates of
depression. Also, researchers have said that social media tools are designed to
be addictive.
“Social media should improve our life
not become our life”
People want
other people to appreciate them, talk to them and comment or like on their
pictures ‘The more likes/comments the more happy people get’. We think hundred
times before posting a picture, not because we like it or not but what if other
people don’t like it. This phase comes mostly in college time as when we see
people hanging out with more smart and cool people than us, then we feel sad
and we try to become like them, we try to become what we are not and which leads
to lose our originality and become that person who everyone likes to spend time
with. Eventually, you won’t be able to live happily as you are pretending to be
someone, instead of that do something good or be a nice person by helping them then
people will automatically like to spend time with you. Be a happy and positive person because positivity is more attractive than anything else in
life. Social media is good at its own
place for promotion and publicity for stars. But we should now make it control
our minds and give the power to social media to make us sad or happy.
