Why social media makes us unsocial?

Currently, in human history, the world is spontaneously changing and progressing no time ever before than we imagine. Even us people are also changing who do day to day routine. Modernization and innovation brought to us by technology where people are getting more obsessed without noticing that they are constantly changing. No one is excuse to the transformation of life because of what we so called social media takes over place above us. Social media separate us from real lives, from our normal routine, our attitude, the way we communicate, our language most importantly from the people who needs our attention more than the social media.

Look the image below of two couple who rather chose to take time on their cellphones and take pictures to their food. What do you think about it? Can you say that they really love each other? The image shows how social media transforms us, change our actions, affect our lives or even destroy relationship.

Here is the next image where you can see group of people not talking to each other because they are all busy touching their phones. Social Media doesn't separate us virtually but physically ? Yes, We don't even give time in making conversation to the people whose with us instead we keep busy sending messages to our friends on facebook or any social media platform.

Third image in a concert where most of the crowd holding their cellphones while watching, join singing or jamming together with the artist/band. After the presentation because they are also busy taking pictures, selfie or facebook live. Few people appreciated the performer by applauding or giving a clap, but what about the rest. If I am the performer I would feel unappreciated/devalued.

Fourth image " The family gathering/bonding " Family member are supposed to enjoy during their family gathering/bonding. Try too look on this image that none of the family member takes time to start a conversation. That should be the perfect time that they can talk about what's happening to their family instead.

fifth image " texting while walking " This is very common nowadays and I can see a lot of people doing this. Instead of walking normally they tend not to focus because they can't afford if they can't touch their or take it from their pocket. Why they don't stop for a second rather than bumping anyone while walking due to texting that is so embarrassing.

These images are just examples what social media can do to separate us from real lives. Most of us are no longer aware that we are transformed by virtual technology. The effect is not healthy to our physical, mental, social, even spiritual and emotional health are also target by these changes caused by social media.. Let me tackle some examples why social media really destroys our health by all means.

If I will take your phone away from you for one week while you are on a majestic place for vacation. Can you survive without thinking your social media account, without sharing your photos to facebook, Instagram or tweeter, sending private images to someone which is closed to you? I don't think so. I could say no one can do that instantly if social media is already part of your daily routine. Unless someone forces to take your phone and destroy it! not sensible thing to do if your phone is expensive right? But how can we save ourselves from drowning into the quagmire of social media effect.?

I will provide examples or scenarios below and better look how social media really destroys your health.

First image this man is your colleague whose is vacation and you are friends on facebook. You see him posted this image then you start comparing yourself to him, Why I can't go to this place, why his vacation leave is approve and mine wasn't. He has a lot of money why he can afford to a place something like this. This are the following questions that you are getting jealous or start comparing yourself behind from what is your real world, Which is not healthy to have that jealousy feeling.

Second image " People commit suicide because of cyberbullying in social media " Many incidents and cases where the victims are minor that ages ranges from 14 to 20 years of age. After they where being bullied in social media and receive foul messages. That leads to anxiety or even triggers to depression and cause of death after they can't handle the situation of being bullied.

Third image " Sexual harassment in social media " Why there are people who is sexually abused in social media. Most of the victims on this case are women's and under LGBT community. They where being harass by offender as they posted photos like wearing swim suits, something sexy, LGBT cross dressers, posting their same sex relationshion ship in social media. Critics and speculation being pelted to these group of people that may lead to anxiety or depression as well.

The ff. images that I gathered from web that I used to create this post are just an examples and no intention to oppose someone perception about social media. I f you think that social media is part of your life? So be it, we have different choices how we see ourselves to this transformation or changes brought to us by social media. It could be positive or negative, social media is part of growing world "the innovation" virtual technology that improves human. Hence, we should not depend to much from it where it separates or divides us from real life. human depends on human and human can't survive without people. If people depends on technology and disregarded people we don't see no more our value as human.

I will provide a video below from youtube.com and this video is the reason why I was inspired to write my own perception about social media makes us unsocial.
