Countless social media dominating a new part of our reality everyday.We not so much socialize with such mediums but rather find our selves waiting for every post a certain celebrity or commercial brand/organization makes.It sends jolts through us knowing we are the first to heart,like or favorite a post of that public figure.As though they might notice such things,we then make some witty and often dumb and unnecessary comment as it
Some of us are so desperate for social media attention that we become so engulfed with this fake manifestation .Once we reach more twitter followers than we followed back , were ultimately too good to have any real friends.We spent countless of hours perfecting our selfies because we want to show how "ridiculous good looking" we can be to our hypocrite fan span.At night we cant sleep at the thought of forgetting to post that funny or overly dramatic Facebook / Twitter status.The best of all Snap chat because who does not want to see your flattering face all fucking day long while sending cute messages to your friends.Seeing all those absurd meal pictures,more countless selfies,chasing of a squirrel or dog doing some dumb trick and my personal favorite the driving while lip syncing Drake sums up my snap chat feed.
This is what most of us are somewhat scared to miss out on.I myself was and sometimes can still be drawn to social media because I don't want to miss another Kardasian nude or Taylor Swift twitter cat fight.It all this absurdity in lack of faith to real human interaction can in fact be more self inflicting for our health and in part make us hate each other even more.
Now there have been a very few scenarios in which I could gracefully use social media to actually interact meaningfully with another human being.Also there been times where I lost my phone and resorted to sending a message to a fiend via social media and hours later they replied.It also can be a good dis-stressor for when you want to rant about how that lady who forgot to use almond milk in your Starbucks dared to misspell your name.Because who else will forcefully listen to such crap.It also great for finding old friends or new ones a.k.a stalking.I myself have invested myself in the art as it is the most beneficial thing about it anyway.
However this social media co-dependency is really messing with our mental and physical health.For instance we often look up ideas based on consumer driven media which takes over our own personal perspectives.Like the idealism of beauty,talent,social awareness and intellectualism .Although social media is diverse in age and nationality it hardly does any justice in bringing those groups together.We sometimes can infer the worst about others and even comment disgusting remarks because they are not like us.I know that racism and prejudice is nothing new yet online world makes more possible.
Young girls are the one that feel often subjugated to feed into this social media spring.They are most likely to follow up on newly,and sometimes silly trends.A lot of which leave girls feeling unfitted because of the constant need to stay on top of these trends.A lot start to develop eating disorders as they long for unhealthy body images.As a result many young girls also become mentally ill.They can often become anxious or depressed for no being able to obtain such an impossible image.Also many lose their own sense of identity trying to replicate the one of someone else.It can also make one lose creativity and the adverse to try something new and original .
I understand that these new technological innovations at their start mean no harm but most result in such realities in the being.Get of your device take a walk outside and breathe,take a run,hike,go ride a bike.The only thing you're missing out is on your life. You have become self inclined to these idea that the online world has a better offering to your life than well your life.Do no more self harm and get out.
