Yea Bee I agree about the likes = worth thing

I sat and watched my lil cousin do a play by play of likes on his picture until it got to 103.

And he was intensely worrying it wouldn't get that. I was a bit disturbed, it's as if it gave him a sense of worth.

Haven't figured out how to talk to him about it yet tho

!!!!

I caught myself doing the same thing on instagram. One of the main reasons I had to chill on certain SM sites.

It's tough cuz so many ppl are dealing with the same thing or feeling pressured to feel like they should.

I can talk and text as long as the convo is stimulating. I don't like random calls if Im my zone but otherwise its cool.

Im in a weird place involving communication with others. I good friend of mine hit me up a few weeks after some shit went down in my life. Oh, seen something on snap! What happ'?

I took offense to that cuz im like, why are you getting updates on my life through SM, that shit is surface level. It's like we're all so content with how SM has stripped the intimacy from things.

So I have been trying to make sure I don't do the same and be more present in people's lives off of SM but people kinda: :udontlookok: when I shoot a random text or call to talk.
XCCCCCCCc

i wouldve been offended too

FAGGOT if you text me and said HELLO, you wouldnt have had to see it through snap

:overit:

yummy

To answer the quest'...it has it's pros and cons. Social media has given a voice to people who previously had no other outlet and sparked a new career path for a lot of people our age. On the flip side, it helps to highlight some of the uglier aspects of society (shallowness, violence, talentless ass people looking for attention and validation etc; )

Use it to your advantage and don't let it consume your personal life.

Agreed.

In regard to the cons, I always think about e-bullying, self esteem, and sexuality. How these things have been exacerbated or harmed by social media.

In the past, you get your ass kicked in high school and only the folks who were there can spread word of it. But the pain will eventually go away. Now with SM things like this are immortalized.

Then people literally feel better than others because they have more likes or followers than their peers. People gauge their worth by how prominent they are on social media.

I would fuckin never wanna grow up during this era.

!!! A girl at my cousin's school was sleeping over a friend's house and they took pics of her while she in the shower and put them on facebook. It spread all through the school and her own family was on fb sharing it. She tried to kill herself not too long because of it.

Another pro though is how SM has kinda helped introverted people communicate in different ways, to discover other introverts, and to help us realize how fuckin glad we are to not be linked to everyone else lolz .

I don't use social media like that.

I only use Insta and Snapchat to thirst follow/keep up with a few celebs. I deleted my FB last month as well.

I use Whatsapp to keep in touch with friends and that's pretty much it.

Well.... Facebook became annoying and some people I used to know make me sick now. People I actually knew.
Same goes for facebook.

huh


GRAND

Do you guys have family on your social media?

I don't even update my mess but I blocked my entire family from even potentially adding me :kii:

I feel like personal life -- family life should be separate
