Social media can strengthen relationships by allowing people to stay connected with friends and share important updates. However, overuse of social media can negatively impact friendships. Some people bombard feeds with pointless posts or drama, which can annoy others. Arguments on social media also tend to escalate more quickly than in person since body language and tone are lacking. To address this, people should be more responsible with how they use social media and focus on the positives rather than negatives.

2. I bet we all love to use social
media to communicate with
the ones we care about. We
use social media to catch up
with old frieds from high
school or college, or maybe
share old and new photos to
form a better bond with the
people around us.

3. Social media is also extremely
useful because it facilitates
sharing important
informations and updates. It
can be a loved one who had an
accident and you need to
check up on them. Maybe send
them good wishes and make
them feel better.

4. BUT...

5. Unfortunately, people
tend to abuse social
media in different ways.

6. Some people would start to
bombard people feeds with
silly, useless, pointless, void,
stupid, time wasting, cringy
posts like nonsensical one-
liners, inane quizzes or
people posting about their
whereabouts all the time.
AT THE GYM :D

7. People would also feel bad when
their friends start ignoring them
and use facebook instead. People
would think that their friends dont
like them because they are boring.
So this may weaken their
relationships.

8. It is also proven by psychologists conveying messages on the internet
is extremely difficult. Because typing still leaves something to be
desired as a communication tool. It lacks the nuances that can be
expressed by body language and voice inflection. So arguments on
social media can take a very different route than it would have in real
life. People tend to be more aggressive online, because things that
you cant say in real life magically become OK because you are sitting
behind a computer screen. Which leads to bigger conflicts between
people
WHAT THE HELL!

9. • Some would argue that the
problem is Narcissism. some
people love to share every
single aspect of their lives
with people. Like mushy love
posts with their significant
other , or sometimes the
fights that they are having.
and all this drama makes
people angry at them. And
they have the right to be! “
Why is your life so fricking
important and entertaining
that we need to know?”

10. SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION ?
Of course you are not going to
unfollow all or unfiend everyone! but
we can try and teach ourselves and
others to be more responsible and
patient on the internet and try to
focus the positives and ignore the
negatives.
