Let's start with a title .
WHY I DON'T USE SOCIAL MEDIA
Yes this is what i'm going to talk about today. Ok the title is not 100% true but i will explain in a moment. Why i decided to do this is because i have an increasing number of people asking me why i don't use them popular social media/trying to persuade me to use them popular social media. Hallelujah. So i decided why not write about this so i can explain to everyone in one shot :p And it's interesting to meeee ahaha i get to voice my opinion it's like i'm writing my very own column HAHAHAHAHA ok compose .
I will kickstart with a disclaimer that everything said here is solely based on what i think and feel and i'm not targeting anyone (except myself maybe) . Yes so let's start .
Why i don't have twitter. Ok i actually have an account to be honest HAHA. Like, i used to use twitter and i even used to like it a lot. But the period when twitter was still "my thing" was when uhm Twitter wasn't so prevalent yet. Unlike now everyone has a gdi twitter account. An active one. (btw my twitter acc is still not deleted bc i forgot the password. Genius.) When i was using twitter, there weren't as many twitter users, or not that i know of. So i used to think it was pretty cool where you get to yknow share your stuff and talk about your life! But then gradually, twitter became more like hmmmmmm a battlefield. A bloody one. I suppose. Idk how to put this. I had bad experiences on twitter but that aside .... I just feel twitter became extra judgemental. And the intentions of twitter users became distorted and their no longer simple. Like a status can be so harmless but some people can just make a thousand mountains out of a molehill. (read my disclaimer above if you feel offended) Goddamn it it's just a harmless status that i'm pretty sure won't kill anyone. I just don't get it, right. Is it even necessary? Everybody wants to share their life and it just might be through different ways. I don't see why they have to judge.
People got to learn to check themselves first before talking about others. That's the most important thing.
I'm sure we all got friends who tell us gossips and start it with "Eh yknow ____ post this on twitter sia" or "Wah she damn b*tch on twitter". Uhm i honestly feel that if people are so unhappy with what they see on twitter, then get off twitter. SImple right. Then you won't have to deal with so much negative information or so you feel :p Ok I get it it's human nature to judge come on i'm guilty of it too. But i just think twitter enhances it a lot more and a lot of these judgements are uncalled for?? And admit it. A lot of gossips are present precisely because of the existence of twitter ._.
Twitter is not bad, yknow. It's just that the bad sides are so overpowering to me and it reflects the ugly parts of society which i would prefer to not see so much.
Oh and twitter wars. Woah. It's uhmmmmm idk how to put this. But i feel if you really want to thrash things out with a person, face to face is the best. In the first place you are hiding behind a computer screen while trying to perpetrate a fight, how does that work HAHA.
I know there are a lot of twitter users who put twitter to good use too. But it's just scary yknow. To put yourself out there and you don't know who's gonna come lashing at you any time. Think about it, during our parents' time where social media did not exist, wasn't everything a lot simpler? That's what i prefer i guess. I just don't want to put myself under so much light. It's a personal opinionnnn and just what i came across and stuff so yeah.
If you didn't understand the above, congratulations you are a "pure" twitter user HAHAHAHA
Now let's move on to instagram. Ok i don't feel so bad about instagram as compared to twitter i think. I think instagram is actl interesting and meaningful. Like you get to share pretty pictures and pictures that depict your life :) But same goes for insta, i think it's getting a little judgemental. Ok ya i'm all about judging right hahaha but hey judging can be really painful yknow HAHAHA.
I think everyone who posts on instagram has similar intentions, where they simply just want to showcase parts of their life, be it happy or sad moments right. Sooooo i don't get why people have to hmmm provide negative comments to someone's picture ._." It's like....
HAHA like whatever that person posted honestly it's his/her choice i believe. No one's asking you to go like it so there's no need to go around commenting on it, no? :p If you don't like it, then just leave it alone HAHA. (idk why i'm finding this funny god) I just, once again, don't understand. Sometimes i think it's not the social media that is bad but rather the people using it :( But ok i'm not as against instagram and Darren actl nearly convinced me to use instagram HAHAHA. I will think about it i guess. And my other friend raised a very good point: "It's not like you have something to hide so you don't have to worry actually" Much truth. But for now, i'm not very ready to face such a large audience. Maybe next time. When the good parts of insta overrides the negative parts ;)
Idk why i'm typing this part which shall be dedicated to askfm. This is the social media that i detest the most. It's like opening an account for people to criticise you anonyomusly wow. They can ask you ridiculous questions and get away scot free holy mama?!!? I have so many friends that suffered from askfm.
And besides, i wouldn't want to share anything about myself to anonymous people. I would consider sharing with people i know but that can be done through pm and stuff. I just basically don't understand the point of askfm. It's an open opportunity for people to hurt you ._. Why would you want to subject yourself to that.
BUT. Although i don't have all that popz social media platforms ... I HAVE FACEBOOK HAHAHAHA FASTER CLAP DON'T SHY. I didn't want to delete facebook because i don't want to evolve into a full-fledge dinosaur if you get what i mean. I thought i should at least keep facebook so that i'm not totally disconnected from the world. And besides, i think facebook is not that baddd :) I went missing from facebook for a period of time also though, but recently i came back to it! Cos i know no one uses facebook anymore now HAHAHA. To me, lesser audience = lesser judging. So i use those that people don't use anymore yes. See i'm not that bad (Y)
Why i blog. Becauseeee no offence but no one uses blogspot HAHAHAHA like really. A lot of people use wordpress, that's why i chose blogspot instead. I think blogging is interesting!! There's just so much to blogging but i won't talk about it not now :p
I recently got to know about Dayre too and this is completely new like literally no one uses it hahaha it's like an app for the dinosaurs idk xD Idk if you even consider this social media cos it's like a phone app thing but i think it's quite cool! But maybe if one day Dayre becomes popular, i might leave it :p
I do use social media alright i'm not totally totally a social media idiot i just don't really like those that a lot of people are using :p I guess i just don't like too large an audience. I'm open to people who want to change my perception though HAHAHA try me .
I'm sorry if anyone feels offended after my post but this is just purely what i feel and no one should take it to heart because i'm just a complete idiot yknow hahahaha.
Okok so i hope i explained things and ps i might actually get instagram let me think about it more HAHA OK STAY HAPPY!!! x
(i was supposed to be doing history)
