Social media.

Social media is such a negative thing.
I only have Facebook, and I find that my mood exponentially drops every time I go on. But for some reason I cant see to stop myself.

What am I doing Im gonna look up the perks and disabilities of social media.
There are good things about social media and these perks are what keep us coming back, The ability to connect with those not nearest you, giving you a sense of belonging, keeping us connected to family and friends so that we can stay in the loop about current events related to them, makes us feel less left out of their lives. It leaves you feeling accomplished, you can get more done in a smaller period of time, social networking allows you to check of that to-do list faster then normal. You meet kindred spirits, it allows you to meet people anywhere in the world, who bring you up, including role models. You can have appointments online at anytime, lets face it, that is helpful.

Social networking makes people afraid to be alone, never be afraid to have sloppy your own company, I understand the dire need to surround yourself with eager people to fill the void with in yourself that continues its cycle of hate, but sometimes there will be know one available and you will be alone and you need to be comfortable with this fact. Can actually leave you unwilling to go and communicate in person, the fear can become overwhelming, why do you need to see them face to face when you can have a civilised conversation in person. It hampers your productivity. You can feel afraid of missing out, like you can't possibly go without the internet what might happen while you are away. AN information overload can actually cause your brain to burn out.

Lets face it the effects in small proportions aren't too bad, but when you find yourself going back to it again and again you will find yourself with a problem.
