“Led or Controlled by Social Media?”
Social media?
Nowadays, social media is not only a place to connect but also a virtual stage, where anyone can become the main actor in their own story. But the question is: are we living a real life or are we “acting” on it? Are we actively using social media to learn, connect or unconsciously following virtual standards, getting caught up in the comparison vortex and wanting to be recognized?
Let’s now examine social media’s impact on individuals from many angles.
The lovely things that get viral on social media
Social networks have the power to instill genuine ideals that help people succeed in both their hearts and their deeds. Positive energy streams, new winds from many different perspectives on circumstances, ages, jobs and life ideals have created a “guidance” for people on another social network – where connections are truly meaningful.
Instead of following trends, some young people decide to utilize social media in meaningful ways, like sharing genuine experiences, producing content that benefits the community, or just being authentic. They encourage ingenuity, diligence, selflessness, and above all, they have the power to usher in a new era of meaningful connection and connection.
When the truth is simply exaggerated by flowery language
What percentage of those glittering pictures are real? Or is it all a front designed to make a statement? What will we gain from that social network, and how long will it take for the truth to come to light?
A lavish lifestyle of successful people at a very young age, are they exaggerating the truth to attract attention or are they just trying to lead people to the aspect of effort and perseverance for a brighter future? From those questions, social networks have appeared trending keywords “canvas”, “leading public opinion”. In general, those are not positive words, but what if it helps you make money, create a beautiful image in the eyes of everyone? Are we trading authenticity for virtual value?
Negative effects started to emerge at that time, leading to a psychological trend known as “Fear of Missing Out” among young people.
We lose ourselves in our own lives, and the terror we instill makes even the smallest pleasures more challenging. Although we make connections with the outside world, we inadvertently separate ourselves from life’s real values.

What we really expect from social media?
Public opinion has been inadvertently shaped by social media in a variety of ways, which can both elevate and depress you at any moment. But are all negative things brought forth by social media? No. There will always be positive aspects of life that give us hope.
Social media is essentially a virtual tool that exposes us to both the positive and negative world. We need to be objective about the stories on social media and take responsibility for our own perceptions.
Will you lead the story or will social media lead you?
