DAY 1
5 problems with social media… Well this could most definitely be more than 5 problems. so I’ll start with the most common complaint I hear from people everywhere…
1. Sharing too much.. We all tend to share too much, too many pictures, too many food shots, too much of our life, we rant too much etc etc.. What do I have to say about that.. well.. hide, unfollow me etc.. I write what I’m feeling in the moment.. sometimes I’ll go back and delete and sometimes.. oh well.. it’s what I was feeling right then. I try not to censor anyone on their own feeds of any of the social media outlets.. as I don’t want to be censored either. If I don’t want to see it.. I’ll hide/unfollow etc..
2. What we put on Social Media is usually if not FOREVER.. Pictures especially of those hard core party days, or doing really stupid things.. can come back to haunt you in your job search, college applications etc.. We forget these things and well.. it can go all bad!
3. People pretending to be someone they are not.. So many people come up with their own stories, they create these fictional characters .. sometimes simply because they aren’t confident enough as themselves but many times so that they can hurt others.
4. Predators.. I don’t think our youth of today and well let’s be honest adults believe that there are predators out there that hide in social media to hurt us.. but in 2016 this is very big deal that leads to human trafficking, kidnapping and the simple of it… robbery.
5. Finally, social media is addictive and you can lose hours of your life playing in FB, Twitter, Myspace etc.. I’ve been known to have that happen..lol it’s what it is.. an escape but we should all be aware of the time we spend on social media.. that much I am aware of..
So those are my thoughts on my 5 problems with social media.. and I’ve probably done a little of all of them except for #3..or #4.. but I have met people online and w/o even thinking about it.. met up wth them and never thought twice about it. Hello Duranie Days!!! Lol I’ve been fortunate that those I have met have become good friends of mine.
