Social Media
Social media is an escape for people
from the real world. The writer is one of them, I oftentimes escape from the
real world I prefer to lock myself up in the playground of social media than
out of the house. See all the things in the world in a screen is something that
people often choose to escape from painful and unaccountable reality. They
assume with social media they can be themselves. Someone who prefers social
media rather than the real world can also be because they have difficulty communicating
with others like the writer and they may also assume that social media is more
interesting than the real world.
People who have difficulty
communicating with others tend to prefer to alienate themselves. However, that
was done in a time when there was no social media now where social media has
become a primary need in the community they will choose to escape into social
media, where they feel more able to communicate with others than when meeting
directly. The writer also experienced the same thing, I have difficulty
communicating with other people in the sense I'm less able to make a topic of
conversation with others and often make others angry or offended by what I'm
talking about even though I didn’t mean to say anything painful. Because of that
I prefer silence and prefer to play social media rather than talking to other
people. The reason as is possible for some people is the stupid reason but for
us who experienced it it’s very painful and keeps us away from you.
Another reason people prefer social
media is because they consider that social media is more interested than the
real world. For some people who are getting bored with their lives they will
more fall into the world of social media because in social media they feel they
can be more themselves. They can express what they want to express freely in
social media because when they are in the real world they will hold themselves
to express what they think or feel about others, they are restricted by the
word "community norm" which if they violate the punishment will be a
bad view of the community about them. Even in many cases that I meet they
create two accounts of social media so they can be someone else and free to do
what they like. The writers sometimes feel that the real world starts boring
and prefer social media for the runaway and I feel that the real world is
painful and life in cyberspace is more fun.
The above also cause a lot of
effects that result to humans themselves, such as they start to stay away from
communicating with other in real world and they begin to confine themselves for
fear of the outside world.
A frightening effect as they begin
to fall into the world of social media is they start to stay away from
communicating with other in real world. They assume that talking to other
people in the real world is no longer important and prefers to communicate with
their friends in social media because they are more confident in a friend they
can’t see the original and they are also afraid of losing themselves as they
talk to people in the real world. Also as mentioned above those who have
problems with communication, with them get attention and ease when they
communicate with others in social media can be ascertained they will further
away from the real world. Those who are addicted to social media cause
themselves to feel that people in the real world always have evil intentions on
them, this is because their psyche begins to be disturbed and make delusions to
themselves about other people.
Another effect is they confine themselves
for fear of the outside world. As mentioned a bit in the above statement they
begin to make delusions that others have evil intentions against them. It makes
them feel the fear of the outside world, they will begin to confine themselves
and only live in the world of social media. They feel that living in a social
media world makes them feel more welcome than the real world, making them feel
their own interest in social media and feel life in the social media world is
more fun than the real world. To get to this stage is just some people who will
arrive, those who get to the stage of confinement is usually caused by bullying
cases.
Many things that cause people to
prefer social media than the real world in addition to the things mentioned and
more also the bad effects that can be obtained. But it all depends on the
personal user, if the user is a person who is always close to his God such a
thing will not happen because they have a better vent venue than social media. And
despite many negative effects, social media also has many positive effects on
us such as we can communicate with people around the world, create business in
social media and other things that are beneficial to our lives. For those who
have had the ill effects of social media, the people around them should help
them to get out and raise them from what are their handcuffs don’t ignore them
and make them feel less appreciated. Help them and heal them because all they
need is the attention of those around them.
