Get happy and steer clear from bad vibes on social media.
Social media has connected us in a plethora of ways, previously inconceivable. We are so available to one another and yet...so distanced or, lonely in fact. Isn’t it odd to think that in a world where communicating has become so easy, that we as a people interact less with one other? Our face to face interpersonal social skills have deteriorated because of our society’s increased withdrawal to the comfort of staying behind our black mirrors.
With all that screen time on social media platforms, try your best to be conscious of how you are using these sites. There is a lot of noise, bossy voices, and negativity circulating on the internet that garners a whole lot of attention. Nasty stories tend to do that, hog the spotlight. Sometimes, the bad can leave more of a lasting impact on us than the good.
1. Share real news
Fact check, please. There is a lot of fake news in the world. People continuously post, forward and preach something that they had just read about a second ago without even verifying: is this the truth? Before you direct message group chats, post on to your feed or on Instagram stories make sure what you are sharing is fact and not fiction.
