For majority of us everyday we log into a social media platform or several social media platforms. We use these platforms to get entertainment, information and to communicate with people. However, are we placing too much importance on the lives that we see on display on these sites. It's very troubling when I see young people making people who they know nothing about their relationship goals, family goals and whatever else kind of goals. A beautiful picture can hide the most horrifying realities. I mean it's okay to look up to people but it's not okay to mirror your life entirely off the life of another. What happens when that individual or individual breaks up or faces some serious family crisis will your life also fall apart? Are you unable to stand alone without the perceived fairytale concepts you believe in on social media sites?
We complain from time to time about how self absorbed people are in the world yet we are the ones who continue to feed the desire that they have that the world revolves around them. The attention hungry are constantly being fed attention so why do we continually complain about them when we are the ones giving them the attention? This world is filled with so many high expectations of mankind but little or no understanding of the ups and downs that each of us go through from time to time. The same social media that entertains us and informs us can so easily break us and make a joke out of us.
Are you able to not be plugged into the social media world or will you simply shut down and be unable to function if you aren't able to see what's happening with those who you have placed on these high pedestals.
