Most of us have developed
unhealthy relationships with social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram. When selfies, #hashtags, and likes are some of your
priorities, you've reached the detrimental limit. Sometimes those
unhealthy relationships with our social media accounts overlap with our real
life relationships and have a negative effect. Don't get me wrong; social media
is a great platform for other things, like promoting a blog or staying in touch
with people all over the world.
I have a unique case on my
hands. My relationship is seldom splashed all over my wall and newsfeed.
Boyfriend is not connected to any of the social media sites. He never really
craved the need to follow everyone and create an account, let alone post
constantly about his life. I understand where he comes from in some aspects and
with others I don’t, but either way I respect his decision. So in my
relationship social media has never played a crucial role. My passwords are
always available and I’ve never had to worry about ladies lurking on my man.
In other relationships
fights have erupted and break ups have resulted from what happens underneath the
wall posts. It’s the shady private messages and the comments that aren’t
visible, that make it easier to be unfaithful. People often portray themselves
differently online and that can also create problems. No one wants to be with a
self-centered egotistical person who doesn’t stop posting selfies. Sometimes
people even think that the grass could be greener on the other side with someone
else and temptation kicks in.
If you are constantly
bickering with your other half about social media, take a step back and realize
what is more important. At the end of the day the person your cuddling with is
more important than the number of followers you have. If it isn’t, you need to reconsider
the relationship you want to be in.
