INSIGHTS OF NETIZENS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

A remedy to the thirst of curiosity we feel is using social media in many different ways.
In today’s generation, almost all of us use social media. We see a lot of different posts of
other people even if we know them or not. When we see their posts, we have each other's
insights and thoughts. Well, some of you might have different insights about a post,
sometimes we agree but also disagree to that specific post. Take this as an example,
someone posts about something and about someone. Well if it is a person, our curiosity will
focus on it. We will stalk that one person so that we can find or know who the person is that
they are pertaining to on that post. In social media, you can find someone so fast just by
clicking. It is also an advantage of using social media, especially Facebook because even
with a few taps and clicks, you can already find someone who he or she was talking about in
the post. In that way, your thirst for curiosity is solved.

Social Media influences our insights of other people. We see a lot of different post from
other people , whether we know them or not. Sometimes, people post about their personal
lives. I myself think, “How can they post something so personal?” well, I realized that we
have different insights from other people. Some people tend to post to social media because
they don’t have someone to talk to. Sometimes, other people post to get attention from other
people. These people are what we call “attention seeker”. Our problem is that we think we
are free to just comment anything to other people’s post without even realizing that we are
hurting their feelings. Others see social media as their "safe space" — like creating an
account for the purpose of venting and releasing their emotions inside those accounts and
posting it. They rely on posting their feelings rather than talking it out, which is
understandable if they prefer it that way. Little did they know, social media has many eyes.
Every post they share, they are judged by people who don’t even know anything about their
personal life. Whatever it is that we think about other people, we have no right to judge them.
Re-evaluate yourself before you start judging someone who you know nothing about.

The different thoughts that we think make us who we are, it can have an impact on
either side, whether it can connect us or it can destroy the connection between people. We
are free to think about other people through social media. Having a different insight about a
person is totally normal. But, before we post or comment something, we should make sure
that we are not hurting anybody. We have the freedom to post or comment what we want,
but sometimes it can destroy someone. We should be minding our own business instead of
minding other people. We never know that we are already destroying someone just because
of the way we see them. Social media is a place for either comfort or chaos, use it well for
the purpose of thriving as a person throughout the life you have chosen.
