How is social media wrecking our life.
Well first we have to understand what is social media and how it works. Websites and applications that provides users to create and share content or to participate in social networking is what we call social media, and as definition says it allows us to share content.
Well sharing content is need of world in present and as well as in the future, upon seeing the content we humans are the god for ourself who judge everything we see. It depends on perspective of each, if I say about my perspective it really gets toxic for me on Instagram after few days.
Social media is booster to your expectation means whatever you want in life is shared or depicted by influencers which makes you feel like if I had this car, house, boyfriend or girlfriend etc. This sharing of content is not good that is not what I am saying or enforcing on people, it's just as I said we are god for ourself.
We are god ourselves, but It doesn't mean that everything we judge orĀ interpret is right. As much, I have experienced that most people take information wrongly into their mind. I know it is getting harder, so let's take an example,
A man named Xavier is single teen and is desperate about girls or relationship, opens Instagram and first thing he sees on Intsagram is that 1 couple is romanticizing their relationship and after watching so ideal situation he feels like couple are lucky and this starts the cycle of self-hatred for day.
And more ceaseless this goes on, more self-hatred increases. I just took an example about a normal teenager and his expectations skyrocketing about what he wanted after seeing such ideal situation, but as soon as he touches reality he gets depressed.

So many examples can be taken not just of relationship like we can take example of Xavier wanted to be famous ,and he watches a post of CR7 but this time he is depressed about then why can't he be famous even though he knows how many efforts did CR7 took.
again self-hatred starts and which sucks out your energy for rest of the day. But as I said we are god so we can take any information as positive info also not always negative again let's take example if Xavier wants to become a guitarist,and he watches a guitarist but this time he follows him and his footsteps learn from mistakes and puts lots of hard work in it .
After few months or years he starts his channel and people now follow him as mentor of their own.

Well we took 2 cases, one is that Xavier wants everything ideal in his life without working towards it so end result is he is getting depressed continuously. But in another case he worked hard made himself one of the best. In another words social media is powerful but we are more powerful than it its just how we interpret.
But even though people just interpret shared content negatively most of the time, same goes for me as per my case I was Instagram addict for some time period but I did self-analysis and found that whatever I see I am seeing negatively so instead I just deleted Instagram from my phone,yes it was hard for me.
And whenever I had urge to open Instagram I opened it in browser which made me lose interest in Instagram day by day. And in present date I still open Instagram in browser. It was my way to end my depression cycle which, social media gave me.
I know it is hard to delete social media account or deactivate because we people tend to think we will stay behind the timeĀ and we will be outdated. In reality you will be at peace of mind and start will thinking about yourself how could I develop myself.
As I said most people tend to interpret shared content negatively, same goes for me but there are also people who are driven by social media to do great stuff in their life. It's just perspective of oneself.
In conclusion of article I would like to say if you interpret negatively you can follow my case which I wrote above,or it's up to you and if you interpret positively it is well and good. So at last you can be your own destroyer, so be careful.
