Social Media (Free topic)

 

Hello fellow readers, today I will talk to you about the problem that I think exists in social networks.

The beginning of these well-known networks was given to be able to share moments of our lives to more people. At first it was all happiness but that ended when people began to feel envious or simply could not bear that other people were happy. From this arose the well-known "Haters", which have a single objective "to harm the happiness of others" through bad comments or even reaching threats. 

The simplest thing would be to ignore the haters but when the harassment that is received from them is so constant it is very difficult to ignore them. Many comments are to harm people and make them have insecurities that they did not have before, without realizing it people lose their true essence and their mind is influenced by bad comments.

We can see an example on the platform of "Tiktok", many of the creators began to make videos for fun and many jumped to "fame" for this, but being better known they received a lot of comments, in which there were both good and bad. That is why many began to change their appearance and even operations were carried out to return to have the "security" that was taken away from them by the bad comments.

Social networks have caused us to have to follow certain standards to be able to fit in with society, showing us how "perfect bodies" have to look or simply that if you do not express yourself like others "you can be judged".

In my case I had a "friend" who was a faithful follower of all these standards, one day I uploaded a photo in which I was jumping and showing my happiness for being on vacation, the first thing she told me was "you have to erase it because you look very fat", that according to her, photos like this should not be shown because they did not fit with society and that because of the type of body I had I could not use a bikini. This comments can cause thousands of insecurities and mentally harm the people who receive them.

That's my problem with social media, which creates expectations of how has to be a perfect person  or how you have to live a perfect life. But now I ask you, does perfection exist? I think not, because if it existed we would all be the same and we would be living a life without news, without changes, according to me that would be very boring. 

This is why I am grateful that there are people who help raise self-esteem with their videos, showing us that being different is great and that if you can be happy without having "the perfect life".

Well fellow readers this was today's blog, I would like to know what you think, I will be reading you. Good bye.
