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. Jumia travel, the leading online travel agency, 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.
