Social Networks

I don't have a creative title for this one. I just figured that would get straight to the point...

I AM BEGINNING TO LOATHE SOCIAL NETWORKS!




And I mean this. Yes, they have made people more accessible to me but that have butchered everything else. I no longer understand human interaction. My thoughts and actions are being consumed by my standings on these sights. And for what? An extra follower? What does that really matter. Honestly, it's not my job to keep you entertained and if you really found me entertaining why don't you just hang out with me in person. I feel that the reason I don't fully understand people is because I am being cut off from them. I was never taught how to properly communicate because society was too busy keeping me technologically savvy! Children are learning improper English because they rely so much on text, facebook, and twitter.

Mind you I have a phone with unlimited text, a facebook page, I tweet, and I started a blog because I wasn't able to say what I needed to say via a pen and paper which is why I feel that I more than capable of speaking on the topic. I have become a slave to these websites and I find this very unfortunate. I use them to in essence berate myself. It's just another way that I can see how don't compare to others. And this is not what life should be about. What does it matter that someone's Avatar picture is prettier than mine, or that someone has thousands of more photos than me?! Does that mean that they are a better person? I would like to think not. I need to give these sites up. My younger sister just deactivated her facebook page because she realized that it was a distraction from her school work. And I was shocked when I first heard this. Then I quickly became irritated with myself! Why on earth would I would be surprised that my younger sister was proactive about completing her school work? That just doesn't make any sense. I need to take a page out of her book!

Maybe it's time I departed from facebook and twitter....
