Oh, Social Media …
Isn’t it funny that the place where you are the most connected with people … from your local cities to the other side of the world … is the most isolating??
For some, it’s possible to build connections and friendships … not for me!
I find that the so called “people” that I’m trying to stay connected with only have me on their Facebook to be like “oh yeah, I use to know this person” and be nosey about your life. Not really on your friends list because they think you are a cool person. Some, maybe that’s true … but some are only on your friends list for “numbers”.
It’s all about numbers. That’s it. At least that’s what it seems like. Then there are people who just want to stalk you on social media and make judgements on your life. And it’s become so EASY to say things boldly on their platforms with no regard to the consequences of how their words can affect others. These same people wouldn’t dare talk in this negative manner if they were in person.
I don’t know … it’s just not fun for me anymore. I am pondering deleting some of them, I’m not sure. Maybe I can just keep this OD 😂 … or maybe just delete all the individuals that don’t interact with me. I don’t know. Still pondering …
Anyway … this is just a rant so I apologize. Just got a lot on my mind.
Hope everyone’s day is going well 😊 …
Take care and God bless!
Much Love Always,
Amber.
A lot of what you say is absolutely true, but this is also why I think OD can be different 🙂
@thediarymaster OD is absolutely different 😊. Even back then, I loved how much of a community Open Diary was. I realized and remembered this when I decided to come back.
I don’t think people were as focused on how many people can they accumulate with their posts then they are actually having a community that feels the freedom to express their true selves.
In all honesty, it’s a relief.
@angelgrl87 I’m glad, because that’s exactly what we’re going for!
@thediarymaster that’s awesome! 😊 … glad I am a part of it after all these years. 😁

There are times when I need a break from social media, in fact, I am on break from Twitter as of last night. Facebook is another one that I will deactivate so that I can get a break. It can be so bad for mental health. It’s good to get a break.
@heffay I already don’t use Twitter. It’s just useless for me. Facebook is possibly next …. and I agree, it can definitely be bad for mental health
