It’s another morning with another notification. Every morning,
when we woke up, we checked our phones first. Every day, the pressure of
sharing has become the addiction of our lives, you're scrolling through the
endless stream of updates. Your colleague has a new house, your aunt's dog has
a birthday, your coworkers have been updating their travelling routes and you
are just standing scrolling through their updates. Very, very publicly.
And before too long, you are adding some of the
updates of yourself such as Seasonal fog, and depression that is more crushing throughout
existential dread. Without realizing it, we have consumed so much information
within the personal in our life before the cup of coffee that starts with the
real depression and real life. It is one of the most painful and intense ways
for humans. That's not always a good thing.
This is constant input and output of the information
that effectively shares our lives and that becomes so normalized that we barely
notice it anymore. It is one of the unnoticeable behaviours which is more into
the psychological, social and emotional consequences that begin to understand.
The art of sharing becomes more of communication with others. Social media with
a few taps has made things more complicated and show off throughout
unpredictable levels. With a few taps, the sharing purpose made things more
complicated. From the earlier traditions within the storytelling traditions, we
have always found ways to communicate the experience to others. Now the
communication story became additionally to the few taps such as instant thought
sharing, and feelings with hundreds or even thousands of people.
As per the earlier sayings, everything we are doing is
the power of God which comes with more responsibilities as well. Throughout the
years, I have been using social media applications to check out the stories,
and the updates of the people which has made me feel like I know everything
about everyone. From this default power, I have become a more judgmental person
than I was ever been in my years. Every day, I have some new ideas that are
dragging me in the opposite direction from the previous which is also one of
the major issues, my things are not going to the right positions, and I always
check my phone for new updates which is one of the most addictive things I have
always realised in my life.
The constant check has caused me to be more impatient sometimes, which devotes me to having the updates on time, impatient with my new habits, early outputs and many more. The pressure of sharing has become of the best consideration, if I won’t be sharing any updates then, for the people I am dead on social media. I am not living in this world to be more concerned about the updates. The art of not sharing is very important here, but things can’t come with easy solutions, it always comes with great responsibilities that are not easy at all.
Other than social media, there are different types of
communication techniques, such as phone calls, meetings, having face time and writing a
letter which is more difficult nowadays. Messaging Hii on social media is more
easier option is to opt. from communication techniques. The art of not sharing starts with social media only, we share what we want without giving any facial
expressions on the messages. Every communication technique is
faceless and emotionless. Texting was not simple before because of the
complicated structure of the phones and computers which made things easier
before. Now, privacy requires effort which is more sharing is the default. This has
been reversed the major things with more flooded networks, sharing without
thinking, and constant streams of information which could be harmful for sure.
So many deep emotions which come with lies as well. Calling and
face-to-face conversation grabs the lie fastly so we don't choose these techniques is the art of not sharing.
Coming up with another things are most probably are relationships not longing forever because of the misinterpretation of posting,
reputations are damaged within the updates. It comes with a lot of people who
are experiencing this issue, due to their sharing habit of personal information on social
media. Furthermore, This is the everyday performance we are doing for the audience to seek attention,
experiencing the public consumption and we are more into the public people,
with no self-identity.
Last, I would like to ask everyone, what was the last
experience you had without your phone? Leave those fireworks, and mountains you
seek for the social media updates. The real moment where you were just sitting
for 5 minutes not thinking about your phone for posting the moment. The
question is very simple. This loneliness is the constant connection with the
noise of updates and chatter where we need some relaxation and silence in our
mental health.
I am not going to tell you about abandon the social
media forever, I wouldn’t have any career without it. For a lot of people, it
is the reason as you are successful, it could be a supportive network for your
business and the way it helps to be heard. But it can't be our reflections,
there should be some part of ourselves that should be of ourselves.
