This video is great for people who are addicted to social media and their need for validation. Although I don't have a twitter, and barely use instagram, facebook or snapchat, the reason isn't due to the fact that I'm not addicted(this is obviously true), the reason is due to the fact that I'm pretty introverted.
Extroversion and social media go hand in hand.
When someone has strong levels of extroversion, they require energy from external sources. Before social media, the means to do that involved going outside, actually interacting with people, etc. But with social media, the level of work needed to do that has lowered immensely.
One the rare moments that I actually go out during my weekends to spend time with friends and family, I'm generally shocked by the need to display their entire lives on social media.
Pictures on everything they do.
Snapchat stories (or Instagram stories) on their days and events.
Facebook is pretty much dead, but generally posts on events.
Basically, as I notice this, I end up realizing that people aren't sad because of social media itself, but their behavior involving social media.
If you take a picture to commemorate an event you went to with your friends. Or make a video to create a memory of a concert or house party. Then you are using social media correctly, because you are displaying your real bonds with people that you know irl.
If you take 10 pics of the food you're about to it. Take a video of song being sung by an artist in an angle you just had to get. Then you are using it incorrectly, and the reason is because you miss out on actually enjoying the moment.
I barely use social media, but I think it's a great tool and invention by mankind. The problem is that it doesn't come with a manual.
