Beautifully expressed! Not everything needs to be sharedâpeace comes from within.

Posting alone does not give you the satisfaction, it is about how many likes and comments is what makes people more satisfying; which leads to addiction and other psychological issues. So it is better to share only with real persons which is the real happiness and satisfaction.
Iam a person of less social life actually who doesnt share my updates in social media and more of introvert type.
But when it comes to professional life, networking is very much important and need to update about our career, to get opportunites by sharing about skills and knowledge.
I recently got to know about this.
Not necessarily. For some people, social media acts as a means of âmemoriesâ, a digital archive, if i may say so. For some its a means of connection, rekindling lost friendships. If you look at it like that posting becomes a means of sharing your joy. However, that being said its not about the post, thatâs made it the story behind it, the memories that post has. Not everything needs to be shared; some memories are better preserved in our hearts and thoughts.
âLooking for validationâ in current times is the most harmful thing one can do for themselves. In a world where the sky is the limit, how can somebody find contentment by asking for validation, especially on social media, where everything is so superficial?
Posting on social media is good until it harms you personally. In this AI-driven world, it is necessary to use social media; in some ways, it helps you grow your personality easily.
In real life people around us do not appreciate or motivate enough to feel confident, hence people tend to get social validation through networking apps so that they can have a sense of achievement. But human nature is greedy, just 10 comments on social media mean nothing but 10 people commenting in person feels great.
I used to be that teenager who would get upset that my pictures from a trip were not âInstagram-worthy.â I wanted to be recognised by my peers but as I grew older, I realised that I had stopped living in the moment and truly enjoying my time. Now I focus on living for myself and not for the gram!
Well said! What started as an honest attempt to connect people over a longer distance has quickly turned into a dopamine-fueled, dopamine-draining system. Everyone here is trying to seek validation on every platform these days. This is an important area of discussion since it is really shedding some light on the emotional state of most young people nowadays. More awareness must be spread, and actions taken in this context.
With the advancement of digital technologies, social media has exploded and entered into lives of everyone. There are numerous researches detailing about pros and cons of social media. Going by the article, seeking validation by others has lead to many mental health issues and even suicides in some extreme case. Starting with the school going children, awareness and training should be given to prevent getting the brain âhookedâ to social media.
Greately said, in todayâs fast pace world we tend to go in to a loop hole of a social media, where we all basically spend half of our time on it. And actually not all the things should be shared on social media, some things in life should be celebrated privately by ourselves only.
Yes, itâs TRUE and I truly agree that others opinion wouldnât matter to what we are doing or what is happening in our life.
Correct, I was also thinking about the same. Earlier, my mind remained agitated for the whole day, but when I started social media detox and spent less time on it, it greatly lifted my mood and improved my focus too.
Yes, instead of validating our feelings and emotions we should learn to face them strongly.
This is a very well said message for all especially, the adults because they are the oneâs most active over social media. In todayâs time of socialism, person donât even eat their food until they will not upload itâs photo on social media.
Rightly said. People now depend on social media for recognition and attention. It even affects their mental health. Social media should be used in a useful way and we should not get addicted to social media.
I think it is about how much you have to offer, and not just socially but mentally. When facebook happened, we were in a different state of mind, it was all new. Since now we have numerous platforms, we kind of sit back, like we have done in our personal lives. We started as impatient newcomers and turned into laid back mature people. Thatâs what changed. The people who have the same social battery as when it all began, they still do share their stuff. Its a personal choice.
Looking for validation from people on social media who donât even know you is actually ruining our mental health. Itâs high time we detach ourselves from the digital world and try to be more present in real life with real people who actually admire us.
We now live in a world where social media exposure and validation have become an integral parts of our daily lives. We are unknowingly conditioned to seek likes and flattering comments on our posts to feel good about ourselves, which, I believe has affected the way we perceive ourselves and those around us. We have all become prey to this subtle trap created by social media.
Absolutely agree with the thought shared by you.
