Do you think social media is worth anything?

[FeminineHSP]

The single most problematic thing with social media is that it overpowers your mind. Human minds aren't made to function like that of robots. Obviously social media is bad for you, regardless of whatever way you use it. Because even if you use it for useful purposes, everytime you open it, a bunch of text will just enter your mind. It will definitely have impacts. Not in a good way like that of subliminals.

The only good thing I get from it is I met a long distance friend whom I've been talking to practically everyday for three years. He lives in the UK, I live in the U. S.. It's interesting talking about each other's countries, such as different foods we eat to what may be normal to one is strange to the other.

Everything else? No, it isn't worth anything.

[FeminineHSP]

Yep. It helps to keep humanity.

[CoolCatMar1]

Yes because I am able to see art all over the world and meet new people

[FeminineHSP]

Yep, it's good for art truly. But I suppose that seeing too much text and negativity can have impacts.

[CoolCatMar1]

Yeah.. actually it does... I dislike how people treat each other on-line... And some people even try to come at me sometimes... It's difficult

[CoolCatMar1]

Everyone tries to bring u down

[FeminineHSP]

Yeah. Unhealthy people influence others with their unhealthiness. Sarcasm is overused and is like a coping mechanism for many. The internet can be so dark.

[CoolCatMar1]

Yeah i agree. Everyone tries to play a cynical person online 🤣... Some random fake accounts attack my looks or anything they can to bring me down, other as well it's quite pathetic how some trolls try to bring everyone down to their level. I don't think a healthy person without attitude problems would become a keyboard warrior, AKA internet trolls🤣

not sure but seen a lot of photo's online that i would of never otherwise seen so its worth something in that sense as it opens our world to others around us we might not otherwise encounter in our day to day routine

[FeminineHSP]

Yeah, true. Like Pinterest fills me with passion. Yeah, the internet fills what's lacking in reality. With its knowledge and humanity.

[CoolCatMar1]

Maybe..

Being able to stay in touch with old friends and extended family is great. Forums and groups for hobbies are good too.

Beyond that, it's absolute garbage and the world would be better off without it.

[FeminineHSP]

Yeah, true. It's such a misused place.

[FeminineHSP]

Especially considering how do many people are all about sarcasm and being unhealthy in the internet.

[FeminineHSP]

*how many

Lay off the crack, kiddo.

Social interaction is what makes humans, human. Social media is simply that talk, visualisation and community, digitised and globalised.

If you are "overwhelmed," than you're weak minded. Plus, need to stick to week old newspapers instead, grandma.

[FeminineHSP]

If you think that's all there is to social media, then you are ignorant of the unhealthy effects of social media. You are unaware of how unhealthy, edgy and sarcastic many people are in the internet and wasting away their lives.

No, social interactions doesn't make humans, human.

Social connection is what makes humans, human. Just talking with a mouth is interaction, not connection.

[FeminineHSP]

I can still talk to some artificial intelligence and feel human. The way you put it, you seem alright with how robotic modern humans are.

[FeminineHSP]

Also, social media is no different than reading newspapers. Useless for the most part.

[FeminineHSP]

There is no true community in internet. It's all just a mere attention seeking game.
