Social Media is a very powerful tool in this present generation and i can say it has been misused in different ways but that is not where i am going tonight. One thing i have learnt about social media is that people live a double life i.e they life a different life in real life and another life entirely on social media. You will see someone posting a question on what people will do in a certain situation but people will be giving anwsers bases on what they can't do and will use there answers to mislead the people reading the post.
You don't need to follow everything you see online because i can boldly tell you that most of them are what will land you in trouble. You need to have discovered the real you or else you will be easy tossed to and fro by what you read online. Another thing i notice is that people easily give themselves unnecessary headache by what they see online in terms of what there friends are posting on social media.
Your friend posting a picture of himself or herself in a car does not mean he or she is the owner of the car but some people seeing that will start assuming the person is successful whereas the people is not. Using myself as an example, last year i post pictures of my self in beautiful mall and because of that my friends started carrying the mind set that i have made it and they will be asking for things I don't have then they will end up saying I am stingy, well I don't care about what they say but that kind of thinking is bad of there health because too much of such thinking can send them to early grave. Me they see in mall was actually there to meet or wait for someone and not going there to spend money i don't have but the pictures i post is giving them a different meaning of what i went there to do.
Don't be deceived by What You See On Social media because it can affect you
- Physically : when you try to do what you see online you can be hurt physically because what works for others might not work for you or doing what you see online which is not real.
- Emotionally: when you see others posting pictures of them enjoying and the likes you tend to give yourself unnecessary headache that is you which you are the one in that position.
Other ways you can be affected includes phycologically, health wise among others.
