  • The rise of social media has given birth to an echo universe, where people show up their life and experiences meticulously to present an amazing version of themselves. Anxious to receive validation such as likes, comments and shares, individuals strives to showcase the best image of themselves. Here are some hints on the life on social media and my different points of view.

Do supporting that our daily lives should be put up on social media all the time right?

My answer to this question is NO.

a. Lack of privacy; posting your daily lives on social media constantly can compromise our privacy. Our personal information such as relationship status, location and routine were supposed to be private but sharing it on social media with friends and strangers, will leave us vulnerable by exposing ourselves to risks, stalking and even identity theft.

b. Mental Health Impact: Constantly sharing of our daily lives on social media can create a negative effects on our mental health. It can develop pressure to constantly present a perfect life will make lead to competition with others, leading to feelings of inadequacy.

Have I ever experienced or seen any case where a person has the habit of showcasing his life on social media and thy effects turned out well?.

Answer:
YES, I know of a friend of my that always showcase herself, her relationship life ,her boyfriend, and other luxury on social media competing with others online just to make sure that she is well known.

  • She met her boyfriend on social media, where they chatted for few months getting to know themselves and finally along the line, the boyfriend proposed to her and she accepted, they got married. And now they are happily married with 3kids🥰. So in her own case it was a very good experience.

Do i think all the showcase on social media are true?

  • Answer: NO, not all the showcases on social media are true. Social media allows for the exceptional presentation of one's own life, often showcasing the positive aspects and neglecting the negative ones. People may go ahead to curate their content to create a specific picture, or to ignite admiration from others.

This can lead to a distorted reality where only the best moments are showcase, while struggles, hardships, and failures are hidden.
Therefore it's very wrong to accept the fact that everything showcase on social media is true.
