I will tell you my experience. It's only been a few years since I participated in any social network, I never liked them. In 2020 I got out of the only whassap group in which I actively participated. Without context (silences, tone of voice, pauses, looks, body tone, etc.) there came a time when there was more noise than message. However, I think that the biggest problem of the networks is in their use, I think that many people use them only to look for applause, not to communicate. I observe this especially in young people and the truth, I think it is a reflection of the world in which we live and where we are going. Greetings and thanks for offering this space
I totally agree with you, most are looking for some form of acceptance, validation or relevance that they can't find within themselves; seeking it externally isn't the way to go though.
I don't use social media and only use WhatsApp to communicate with family that are spread all over the world, mostly on video chats; I prefer to live my life in the real world and have a desire to find real relationships in my face to face interactions; it's where I find the value. I'm around your age, a little younger, and maybe it's an age-related thing, the preference for more tangible connections, although effective communication isn't at all an age thing, it's a human thing.
I'm not surprised to read your remarks and totally agree. I also think we'd communicate well face to face.
I also think we could have a nice conversation over a good coffee and face to face. For now I enjoy very much with this communication space. Best regards.
All the best to you for Sunday also. Enjoy it.
Thank you very much, see you soon
