RE: How I deal with my anxiety everyday!

in #life7 years ago

With the rise of social media there has been an increasing amount of "information flow" which may cause anxiety. Suppose that you posted a picture or a tweet, facebook post etc. as you become aware of what might other people think there is loss of your true identity. Social media does a good job on showing the good but a terrible job at showing the bad. This imbalance of information leads users to become depressed or anxious. While in this depressed form, users don't post depressing stuff, which adds on to the problem. I think that making it okay to feel like shit without being ridiculed goes a long way. However, social media is wired in the same way as smoking. Except instead of Nicotine it is likes. Any mental disease normalized as result since "everyone has anxiety". You are correct that being yourself is good solution however like a mention most people are afraid to show themselves as their true self because it may give off a less enjoyable experience for their followers. But what do I know haha

You make a good point! I agree a lot of people are afraid to show themselves. I mean who can blame them? This world is a scary place filled with people who will try to tear you down for who you are. But as you said "it may give off a less enjoyable experience for their followers." That may be true but in the end it's not about the followers. It's about expressing yourself. If they do not like what you post then they can unfollow, and those who want to stay will simply stay. But there's also a chance it might make it more enjoyable too. Thank you for your response and I respect your opinion as well. @pornstarshourly
