"Don't eat it yet, I'll take a photo." Once, didn't Defend you were hungry and then your friend immediately protested against eating your order because you wanted to be photographed first to upload on Instagram? Yes, this is indeed often experienced by anyone. Upset or just do you consider it just an ordinary thing? "Well, the name is also nowadays, it may be an occasional post that is present," so at least some of the sounds we've heard.
But do you realize Reva, if every second or minute you have to always record the moment that is in front of your eyes, it will disappear? Yes, it just goes by without meaning. You may not necessarily be able to interpret it by watching the moment from the camera shutter capture that appears on your mobile screen.
Moreover, the Royal Society of Public Health (RSPH) said that social media such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter had a negative impact on our mental health, Bela. Do not believe? This is the result of his research.
1. Restlessness and Depression
After surveying nearly 1,500 people aged 14 to 24 who were addicted to using social media, to spend two or more hours playing Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, the researchers said that social media addicts would feel an increase in anxiety and depression. In fact, it is YouTube that has a positive impact.
2. Place of Imaging
Actually we already know, we are the director for ourselves when on social media. The activities we undertake, the food and drinks we consume to what fashion items we use represent or shape our image in the eyes of others. Yes, we have our own narration to create other people's judgment about ourselves, only through social media like Instagram.
3. So Comparing Yourself with Others
No wonder we often compare ourselves to other people, right? What he uses, to which luxury place they approach, how cool is his battle, is a question of curiosity that must have been etched in our brains, even though not all think so. Unknowingly, it can worsen your confidence, Bela by comparing yourself frequently with others based on their Instagram uploads. In fact, you must remember that anyone can form their image easily by uploading photos. So do not be discouraged and then 'addicted' to compare yourself with others, because what you see on social media is always the 'happy'.
4. So Addiction
In the past when we woke up we only turned off the alarm clock alarm that sounds so noisy then immediately showered and made breakfast, now it seems quite different. When we wake up, after turning off the alarm that sounds on the cellphone, we automatically open the Instagram application, slide, slied, and slide. Without realizing 30 minutes of time just wasted.
5. Losing Meaningful Things
By continuing to spend time using social media, without us realizing it, we can miss moments that are actually important, or spend time doing other positive activities that can improve your standard of living. Like, spruce up LinkedIn so you can look professional and attractive, so there's a chance that you will be hijacked by other companies that promise more attractive careers and salaries. Or re-read your favorite novel book.
Because over-reliance on social media has a negative effect on us, Bela. Reduce to think "Ah Instastory first."
