Glass Window

How do you use social media?

When we gather socially with each other, online, it gives us security of knowing the person on the other end is not going to hurt us, physically or mentally.  Because, not only is there a “glass window” that seperate us from each other, but there is also one- mile, or thousands of miles between us, until we decide to be “well-known”.  This does not apply to the term, “Being Popular”.  As popularity gains it’s own attention from the unpopular methods of all who seek this attention. Over and over, until avoiding such people requires the use of our ability to walk away.  It doesn’t give them much to rely on, when what is being used, by them, becomes “old”. To keep starting something “new”.  A challenge cannot be seen in this direction, of perfection. So, we keep our accomplishments to ourselves, until the time comes to put them in practice.  To be, somewhat, “perfect” enough to make “it” work.

Our voices are heard in any direction our mouths take us, online.  From our reflexes of wanting to divulge ourselves in conversations that only have the meaning of, “It came from Facebook/Meta, Instagram, Snapchat,  LinkedIn, Tumblr, Twitter, WhatsApp, Reddit. Quora, Medium. Telegram, and Goodreads”. 

Social Media is used by “clients”, of the owners, to maintain “friendship”.  In other words, they’re buying our friendship, at a cost, of the price.  And, we “pay” for extras, one way or the other.  But, only as our discouragements are found appropriately used, by us, to be managed when we have decided to move on to better, kinder friends, online or “in the real world”.  Where it is alot harder.  Knowing who we have become, after Social Media gets through with us. With no love lost, on their behalf.
