Social Media Effects our expectations on relationships and life as a whole
Expect love interests/how it should be found
We begin to subconsciously think this is the norm and seek it out.
Like me, a lot of people are raised on rom coms and pictures/hearing of "perfect" couples that exhibit similar cliches.
Become jealous of boyfriends who get flowers etc, but what are you even going to do with flowers??? He makes you happy enough for you to date them so why be jealous just because someone else gets what makes them happy
Too concerned with appearnces on pictures/profiles
Many people try to have "themes" to their profiles and spend endless amounts of time trying to get it to all flow
Worry too much about apperances, but why should we even care?
tend to not want to hang out with someone just because they are not as attractive as I would like them to be because then the post wont be as beautiful etc.
Social media started off as staying connected and showing what we are doing in our lives but most of the time this i not the case.
why does a person’s appearance even matter, unless you are an aspiring model or profession directly requires you to care about your appearance in one way or another. The only answer I can come up with is people are so insecure about themselves they/WE feel the need to put ourselves above someone else or find a way in which they are lesser
We should be able to post whatever we want if we feel our friends/family would get to see more into our lives via the post
Likes does not equal friends/happiness in life
TV Show “Teenage Bounty Hunters” : She felt the janitor was sad and lonely because he never had a girlfriend and his social media had so little followers. As she did her research and looked at his posts, she found out that he lived a full life, yeah, he had almost no friends, but he spent all his time exploring the world and discovering himself as this is what made him happy.
Posts we see we think "omg theyre so happy" well from behind the scenes of my sisters' posts the pictures took hours and most parties involved were not happy.
Receiving a "like" from a toxic ex can do a lot of mental damage, reminding us in a minor PTSD kind of way
not everyone finds happiness and joy from the same things, most go to beach during spring break but I go skiing.
The good, the way social media should/intended be done (end)
I have ADHD and have low object permanence; social media gives a place to stay connected with my sisters and friends and just overall remind myself I have people in my life who care about me.
Helps show us the many wonders of the world and give us inspiration for future endavors.
Tik tok has given me the oppurtunity to want to make fun videos with my sisters etc.
