RE: I Share, Therefore I Am: How Social Media Aims To Connect Us But Actually Makes Us Lonely
I surprisingly do not have social media (besides steemit) and feel great. People wonder how I do it and how the hell could I not have facebook or instagram?? I could see the FOMO (fear of missing out) written all over their faces and I just have to laugh a little inside. Everyone who I want to share very personal things or thoughts with I contact personally. I feel like social media has formed a new form of addiction for most people and let it consume their lives. I feel great limiting myself to it! In person relationships while being 100% present (not on the phone the entire time) is what will truly satisfy that longing for connection :)
Very good post! Followed :)
This is a good way to be, hope more people can figure it out. It's really funny how perplexed some people get. I quit for 2 years and only came back because I lost touch with EVERYONE. Trying to find a nice balance now, I only use facebook to stay in touch with people who don't live closeby though.
its all about balance!
I can totally understand that.
I know many people who do the same and are perfectly happy.
I think the other people are actually missing out on something that you have - living in the moment, and not having to worry about what to share and what others will think of it.
Thank you for your comment and follow!
Nailed it 👍
