Ever since social media has entered our lives, it has changed our daily lives and habits. Everything became much easier for us, but does it always affect us? Some people argue that it helps us socialise with others better. On the other hand, some think it affects our social life negatively.
Firstly, social media is a better place to socialise for introverted people because you don’t have to approach someone face-to-face, and the communication is much easier. Some people also think they feel more comfortable on social media since there isn’t anyone judging anything and it’s easy to just get rid of disturbing people. It also gives access to communicate with people from a long distance, which really helps people to maintain their long-distance friendships.
However, it also has some disadvantages, and the first one is the fact that you can’t know who you are messaging behind the screen. Perhaps the person you think is the same age as you is an imposter who’s pretending to be little. People who have online friends also think they are not ‘real’ friends because they are just virtual, and they can disappear from your life very easily, so you should never trust people you don’t know in real life on social media.
In conclusion, social media can help us communicate with people from other nations, and it may be a safe place to communicate for some people, but it can also be dangerous since people can’t be trusted, so it’s best to never trust people online with your personal information.
