What makes us so addicted to Instagram?
WHY INSTAGRAM CREATES US ADDICTION?
social networks are harmful to the mental health of people. The fact of feeling insecure about publications that we find in these, can seriously affect our self-esteem.
In social networks and specifically in the social network "instagram" which is dedicated to the world of photography, publishing and design; the users dedicate themselves to projecting a kind of perfection of their lives, showing their travels, the best landscapes and places, the best meals, the best fashion outfits, the best vehicles, their makeup, the best bodies and physical activities they perform for get them. Which generates social influences to the protagonist, and creates conviction and intrigue the viewer.
These have led us to create habits like these:
- Go to beautiful places just for the best purpose of taking good photos and not to enjoy and experience.
- We may be dying of hunger, but first we should take a good picture of our food.
- We can get up to 10 similar photos, in order to get one that is "perfect".
- We can spend hours editing a photo and finding the most flattering filter.
- We have the theory that if it was not documented or photographed, this never happened nor did it exist.
- We can waste excessive time stalking our friends, those who fall, and even those we do not know.
- Plan that look to use before going out and taking photos.
- We criticize very much those who take simple photos, of bad resolution, or showing themselves so normal and not wanting to look like models.
- You are worried that everyone is enjoying and uploading pictures of your Friday night, while you have not uploaded anything and you are at home with nothing to do.
It was also examined that "the irresponsible use of social networks can affect our sleep hours" and cause the development of a syndrome called FOMO (fear of disappearing) by its acronym in English, which is the incessant anguish that is generated by keeping us disconnected, thinking that we could be missing something interesting, important or trending. This leads to the development of psychological illnesses such as insecurity, anguish, depression, anxieties, the feeling of loneliness.
In my particular conclusion friends of steemit, we must confuse appearances a little more (which is very difficult because we live in a world that revolves around them) but remember that humility and inner greatness is what matters most in this world. And the more we inspire it originally, the more overwhelmed will be those who do not possess it; while a superficial life will only generate controversies and always leaving something bad to talk about you. Thank you very much for reading, I hope you liked my post, and please let me know.
