I had a conversation with one of my best friend this day.
We discussed about social media.
Actually We didn't talk about in on purpose.
This conversation started when my friend opened instagram, and I started a question.
Here is the full conversation :
Me : Hey, do you play instagram ? I think you have stopped using this, since you ever followed me once a time, but now your account is not in my followers and following list again.
MF : Yes I followed many people once a time, but then I unfollowed all of my friends and I blocked all of them, so they couldn't see my profile. I have decided that I don't want to have the interaction with my friends on social media, It's not like that I hate them all, but for me It's enough that we interact each other directly, not by social media.
Me : Oh yeah ? Really ? Why you do that ?
MF : In my opinion, this social media have 2 big negative effects. First, lot of people post their happy moments in instagram. It can evoke sense of envy to each other. Either you envy other people's life, or other people envy your life. This sense of envy sometimes can damage a relationship, people can start hating you because they envy your life, eventhough it may be not happened to some people, but that's a big possibility that It will happen that way.
Second, social media can make the people who close to us become far away, and make the people who far away from us become close to us. So I and my girlfriend promised we followed each other and followed some of useful account like quote's account, nature account, world fact account, etc. In this way, it can eliminate the possibility we cheating from each other.
Me : Wow, that's so deep. Even if you really scare of those things, why you have to act so far like that ? just follow your closest people in that case, Its okay like that isn't it ?
MF : (He smiled), Nah vin, now I'm asking you this question : If it appears the sense of envy between each other, It's easiest to happen between you with whom?
Me : ..... Our closest people.....
MF : Yes, you got the point (smile again)
At that time, I felt silent for a moment. I realized that It had happened so many times to me in the past and even until now.
Hearing that, I become agree with my friend's opinion, I think carefully, I often felt envy when I saw my closest people post. Especially if their post contented something that I want to have too.
With this, I reduce my frequency of social media like posting, or just opening it.
Yes maybe you can call me become introvert or something like that.
Every people have their own opinion, including my friends.
In this case, there are not wrong opinion, because this is the circumstance that depends on each person's view.
I have my opinion too.
I agree with my friend opinion, and I partially follow it, I become less often using social media.
But I still want to use it and keep my following list the same, because I think I still need social media in order to have a connection with my closest people that far away for me.
Yeah everyone have their own opinion.
The conversation above is only just a story and only just somebody's opinion.
You don't have to agree with it, It's natural either you have same opinion or different opinion with us.
Just follow your confidence.
Regards
