Social networks of pleasure to addition
Hello friend to start, what have social networks like whalesheares, steemit and weku.io of good? Maybe it is because it has its great advantages of: accessibility, availability, high stimulation and, above all, anonymity for mysterious users. These ingredients make using them easy, fast and fun.
This type of platform is usually addictive, but as can we suspect that our love for this social network can become an addiction harmful to us?
When we start at the beginning we see that being here is not bad but rather we enjoy working in this plaforma, the problem comes when we stop doing it for pleasure and we go to use them out of necessity. What does this mean? That we stop controlling the time we dedicate to this platform, giving control to them precisely. In addition, we continue using them even if it entails deterioration or conflicts in other areas of our lives.
We no longer do it because we feel like it, but because of an intense desire or an obsession that makes us feel bad if we do not develop that behavior. In this way, we become addicted to this social medium and use them to alleviate the negative emotions associated with not doing so. In addition, he loses interest in other activities that he liked before.
Something important that we have to fix is: how long do we sleep? If the hours of sleep fall below 5 daily in order to be connected in so much social network that work, the thing does not look good. The same is true if other important activities are neglected, such as interpersonal relationships, academia or work, or health care.
But not only that, the environment realizes that something is not right. Another warning sign is that someone close to you (such as a parent or partner) complains about excessive use of the computer or cell phone. In fact, the person comes to lie about the real time he invests in using these means. Sometimes this lie is conscious, but most of the time it is unconsciously because its use is intermittent.
Besides not telling the truth, we can constantly think that your favorite author will have published! or what will your friends be doing? Even if you are not connected, we can get angry intensely when the connection does not go as expected. We imagine we are in a place without coverage or without wifi ... maybe the anger goes to our heads and it explodes. because maybe you would think that if you are not connected, your performance will drop or even worse that you are not making money.
In conclusion
This type of social media tends to take us away from reality and as a consequence we tend to neglect our family or loved ones, We try to keep a work routine in this social environment even if you deny it and say that it is not true that this can be addictive .
