Social media has become a part of our daily life and many of us
cannot do without it. What you don’t know is that your addiction to social
media is affecting your lives negatively. Read on to know how social media can
ruin your life. We urge you to perhaps cut
down on the hours you spend on social twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Overthinking
emoticons
Some persons while interacting or chatting with someone, and
they share an emoticon; they begin to give all sorts of meanings and
interpretations to it. It is funny that Just because of an emoticon, they get
themselves all worked up and worried. Why? It is just an emoticon.
Checking/updating every
second
You have become so attached to Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat
that you are checking and updating them every second. The day you don’t access
your accounts because you don’t have data, you become hysterical and
irrational. It is not a matter of life and death.
Bragging about likes,
followers and comments
The number of likes, followers and comments you have has become
a thing to brag about and show off. The rule is that the more followers you
have, the more traction and engagement you get. True, you do not have to boast
about it. Some people go as far as buying likes, followers and even comments.
Posting without thinking
Many of us have converted social media to an abuse platform. A
place where we criticize and troll people. As a result, more and more people are
in trouble because of what they shared and said on social media. Presently, a
popular US based Nigerian journalist Kemi Olunloyo is being charged to court
because of the content she shared on social media. Always, think before you
share.
Making up just because you
want to share pix on Instagram
This is peculiar with girls. They do not have anywhere to go but
they dress up, apply makeup and take beautiful pictures just to post on
Instagram or Facebook. It is ridiculous.
Staying Up Late
We all do this. We spend hours flying from one social media
platform to another. Meanwhile, we are very sleepy but we still continue
browsing. Surprisingly, they sleep off while on twitter or WhatsApp. Hence,
many of us don’t get enough sleep because of social media.
Seeking social media
validation
Seeking social media validation can lead to depression. This is
because you wait for others to give you approval for your life activities. If
you don’t get the desired response, you become depressed. You should stop
seeking social media validation and live your life.
