Is staying connected in reality disconnecting us?Side effects of Social Media



OR

The ongoing war between social media and social life is not something we are unaware of. Thanks to social media it has now told us how gravely dangerous it is for us- thanks for at least that. A human being today can either be physically social or be a 'social-media addict'.If you meet such an addict you will not get the impression of a friendly communicative healthy and happy person. He will seem dull and exhausted. He will not be interested in what is going on in his surroundings. Not warm or interested in verbal communication. And ofcourse, checks his mobile at least 3 times between a single conversation. Astonished? If you have none of these, congratulations. If you do, understand that an addict in reality is not social at all. He is unhappy and unhealthy.

The University of Michigan has stated in a research that the more time a person spends on Facebook, the more feelings of well-being decrease and feelings of depression increase in him.' Moreover, the American Psychiatric Association actually confirmed that taking selfies: which is a way to make up for the lack of self-esteem and to fill a gap in intimacy, is a mental disorder called 'selfitis', and has categorized it into three levels: borderline, acute, and chronic. If we analyze deeply, we are so busy taking photos and uploading them that we forget to live the moment. Amazing holidays, meals and experiences are put up for everyone else to see, and not for ourselves. Is outside recognition and how others see us is so important for us that we are ready to compromise personal fulfillment, happiness, health and peace.

Our live's are distributed in two on either 'Social'-connected with the real world or 'Social Media addict'-disconnected with the real world. This is the war. We are the main participants of this war. Yet we choose to remain oblivious to it. We stay dwelled in our routine lives despite knowing and witnessing the adverse effect social media has upon us. Your life is in your hands. Choose to be happy. Choose to be healthy. Choose the Real world over the Virtual world. Because in the end the fulfillment and your achievements are also shortlived and virtual.
