Can social media isolate you from the real world?
Npr News have stated that young adults are not actually experiencing social media at all. Young adults each user contain multiple social media outlets. But why for us we require to have multiples accounts instead of only having one form of communication. Yet researches were not terrible surprise about how many individuals would experience isolation.
For myself, it's important to connect in person so people understand the message more clearly. However, with the technological shift, most companies require online application limiting the reality to see if the employer is actually suitable for the job.
In a survey made of the article adults between the ages of 19 to 32 years old use at 11 social media apps Due to the feeling of isolation.

I think that social media is a tool that can be used for either good or bad things. I'm using social media to build a business right now with people I would have never met by traditional means. Do I sometimes scroll aimlessly through Instagram looking at people who are doing this same kind of business, wishing I had what they had or not feeling like I am good enough to do this? Absolutely. Your mindset matters. The people you surround yourself with online matters. What media you consume has an effect on your brain. For example, I don't watch Family Guy anymore. I found that it was making me have a vulgar attitude, curse more (which I am trying to stop) and it didn't make me feel good about my life. It honestly made me feel physically fat. I can say the same from media online that makes you feel isolated and alone. I doubt that people go online and intend to feel that way, but they are constantly reminded of who they are not instead of who they are. A simple way to combat this is to change what you consume. I de-friend people who don't respect me, and block them if I have to. Holding yourself to the value you were created with can be an easy way to remember that you are worthy of not having to subject yourself to people and media that make you feel less than you are! :)
