Would Relationships/Be it make up/Break up/Other be easier without social media?

[whisperoftheheart]

Just a passing thought.

In this day and age, with all the various ways to connect with someone. It seems an obvious question but would it be better or worse to deal with relationships at any level with or without social media?

does having that in front of us, at all times of the day taint things or assist things?

And does it make it easier to connect as its impersonal to the mass or hinder true relations as to it being so open.

Social media is HORRIBLE for relationships. You're going to use it compare yourself to your gf/bf's exes and see all the pictures, comments, etc. Here's the thing though. Social networking sites aren't going to advertise the "bad times" of a couple's relationships. People don't post pictures of themselves in fights, individuals only see the happy memories. Therefore, any couple you look at is going to appear perfect. Its terrible for an individuals confidence and any girl on a partners page becomes the enemy. A lot of drama and insecurities would be left in the dark if social networking were used the proper way.

I believe life would be easier without these. I mean, sure you connect with more people and deeper with your friends but the thing is, if they want to be part of your life they, they will be. Even without these things. We don't watch movies through Facebook or eat through Facebook and all that with friends, right? It can be a killer and can cause chronic anxiety. Lol I just deactivated my FB because it was one way of stopping me from moving on. I didn't do anything significant on it anyway but just scroll through the news feed and feel bitter comparing my life with other people. Haha it can be unhealthy if used the wrong way.

Social media is the source for how most people these days get together and so it will also be the bane of the end of a relationship. Having said that, if you are just broken up, please stay away from all forms of social media.

 

They are like barriers to keep you from moving on like a hurdle on the running tracks and some are high which you will trip and fall, some are short which you can easily cross over but why not run hurdle free?

 

It is always a choice. Your own choice and nobody esle

Not even your ex
