The new Realm of Social networking!

I was thinking the extent to which FB culture has penetrated to our lives.How important it has become for most of us to portray the awesomeness of our lives to the FB world…Roshan Andrews(Malayalam Movie director) conveyed his scepticism about the new normality of this generation, in his movie “how old are you”, the normality where very private moments become mere posts of Facebook  when couples say “I love you” to each other on FB, waiting for the approval(likes and loves) from the FB world.According to studies,  there are growing concerns about the amount of depression social media sites causes in the young generation. Also, the time which is lost on FB affects the overall productivity of a person.This article explains the amount of loss FB causes to the people’s lives..http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/04/facebook-turns-12–trillions-in-time-wasted.html

Furthermore,I’m pretty sure that the happiness scale( if there is a scale to measure happiness) is lower than the pre-Facebook world while we are on a trip, since we only think about taking pictures and the captions to post on Facebook… people are too much obsessed with drawing their perfect life on FB while forgetting to live it.

Even though I don’t post many private pics on FB, I also suffer from few new gen diseases coz of the social networking sites….I was so scared that people would read my blog and draw conclusions about my ‘imperfect’ life as this blog contains some small bits of the real me who is sometimes happy and unhappy… Because nowadays sharing a post about Depression would automatically convey that you are depressed..people like to draw conclusions about your life based on what one posts on FB. So I think twice to post something on FB to avoid questions.

The most liberating feeling is to let yourselves be seen .. Let it be seen.. the most vulnerable part of you so that the subconscious efforts to show off your awesome life would be subsided automatically …it is not necessary to draw a perfect picture on any social media sites… It’s ok to be not cool sometimes.It’s ok to be weak sometimes…It’s ok to be imperfect sometimes…It’s ok to cry sometimes..  bcoz nobody’s life is perfect as it seems to be…

COZ WE ARE HUMANS!!
