Is social media making us less social
In today’s World, there are two types of Parallel worlds. One is the Social Media world and the other one is the real world. The use of Social Media makes us more social in the Social Media world but makes us less social in the real world.
There are some friends of mine, whenever I go to hang out with them they are always busy applying filters in their lives. It's hard to talk to them face to face.
Sometimes get so frustrated about the fact that they came with me to hang out and they are busy snap chatting their fake social life and then they write captions like “ Enjoying Life with "RASHMI" at xyz location“.
Hell no, You should write: “Enjoying life with my Phone as usual at XYZ location. Now coming to the point I would say that social media is making you social in the Social World which is full of lies and showoff. You can approach anyone on a Social Platform but you can’t do the same in the real world.
I would just like to say at the end that come out of the filters in which you are living and Enjoy life to the fullest . Live in the moment and not always try to capture it .
The use of social media is entirely dependent on us. We made social media, not the other way. Social media is very essential if used properly but if you let yourself be addicted to it then it becomes an enemy.
Social media was made for us to help us connect with each other. But what has happened is due to social media addiction because of apps like Instagram, Whatsapp, Facebook, Snapchat, etc we’re being less social because we're more engrossed in others than in ourselves and the person next to us.
The hunger for like and comments and more followers have made social media a destructive tool for the society contrary to what it was actually meant for.
Use social media however you want but don't let it control you.
