Does anyone really like social media?

Question

Doonesbury

FictionalCharacter · Accepted Answer

Yesterday, I got pissed off at my therapist. It was my first appointment (since I live in the middle of nowhere. I’m left with online therapy.) I scheduled a video session with her. Then on the day of, this Bitch decides to cancel on me 45 minutes before therapy.

Now the system app timed my session. That was obviously canceled. Then after the ‘session’ timed out. She schedules a appointment the next day through VIDEO CALL. 🤨🤨🤨

I literally thought “What the fuck am I paying therapy for? If I cannot have face-to-face conversation? I’m paying for therapy! I’m already on social threads asking for help and opinions. That I want a professional! Not a 1-800 hotline conversation” 😡

No. I don't use it. It wasn't easy to not have Fb when the other parents and my kids' schools were using it as a primary source of communication. Seeing people who have become so dependent on it for communication and photo storage (among other reasons) reinforces my decision to not use social media.

Nope hate it, that's why I closed all my social media accounts a couple of years ago. This is the only place I come remotely anything like social media, and I wouldn't consider this social media.

Social media can be a bit invasive, and, people may consider it to be a viable subsistute for real socialization, which, can be a problem.

PrettyPriya · Answer

I don’t. I used to be on a couple of social media apps but just got bored of them. Like who really cares what I’m eating for dinner? 🤦‍♀️

t_time · Answer

No and yes... its bitter sweet. It kinda makes you feel like your life really sucks and you and can make you feel so low and awful about how you look. But on the other hand it can also be inspiring and help you keep in contact with family and friends

dustybiker · Answer

No. I cut the news first thinking I would filter with social media, but ended cutting that too, naturally. You can get what you need of news from word of mouth through people you know. I do keep the instagram app as I get update notifications for select people I’m still interested in.

sage2021 · Answer

This is the only site I use. I don't think I would like the other "usual" one's.

NathanDavis · Answer

I've never had it, never needed it, never wanted it... and I do not think that will change any time soon or ever I don't hate it nor dislike it either... is just not for me

RealMarek · Answer

I think it has been a disaster in many ways and I have seen it ruin relationships, but it is difficult to get a job in many professions without a LinkedIn profile or to stay in touch with old friends without FB.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

I'm only here, got off the rest over two years ago, not going back.

Mary087 · Answer

It’s okay but I try to avoid certain parts of social media that I would feel are unhealthy for my mental state. I really only go on there to read stuff , express my thoughts or talk to friends that’s it.

Nagahime · Answer

No, not really. I only use it for animals, memes, and art related things.

TransAm85 · Answer

I used to like MySpace and AIM in my late teens/early 20s, but now I just go on FB periodically to say hi to people I went to high school/college with. My mother loves TikTok tho! lol

midnightmoon05 · Answer

No… a form of brain wash. Including the news.  I come here from time to time… that’s about it. no Facebook or whatever else are out there.

AGirl_x · Answer

I fuckin hate it! I have twitter and I swear that I log in months apart and I can't... But I don't mind dirty twitter...

katiesmuff · Answer

No I don't and see it as something making us a bunch of introverts who no longer know how to socialize in person.

BCRanger10 · Answer

Depends on which platform. I enjoy G@G and Facebook. I rarely use Instagram. Twitter? Not a day goes by that I don't ask myself why I'm still there.

AviatorTom · Answer

Social media is okay, but I don't understand why some people are so obsessed with it. Do we really need to know you just pooped and what color it was?

Redstang88 · Answer

I’m about done with Facebook, only still have it because of marketplace. Instagram is really the only one I actually like and that’s just for cool cars and trucks and travel ideas

Cjbruser · Answer

No. I don't. But it can be difficult to socialize with some people you haven't seen in a long time without certain social media sites.
