5 ways to get rid of social media addiction

Engaging in social interactions plays a crucial role in our existence, fostering a sense of connection and fostering the formation of communities.

Additionally, social media offers various advantages, including the opportunity to refine social abilities in a less high-pressure setting, discover like-minded individuals with whom we can form new friendships, and safeguard cherished memories. Social media can indeed have a negative impact on our mental and emotional well-being in several ways.

I’m going to give details on what are the actual reasons why social media is a big addiction nowadays;

1. Way of Marketing:

Nowadays social media is one of the biggest ways of marketing, through this platform many people earn the biggest amount. If you ever think then you know there are different websites for different kinds of work this platform provides, even some are earning at their home by doing online business. There are so many apps for example LinkedIn, Facebook, Fiver, and so many other apps like these which provide different jobs with great payment. This is one of the main reasons why people are addicted to this social media thing and what’s the reason behind that.

2. Horrible Reality of social media:

As you know it’s 2023, and you are living in the world of robots, machines that make things easier than before which is very beneficial for every human being, things are now easier if you want to see your loved ones from another country, they’re just at one call this is how social media works. But will you ever think of the other side of this platform? Many people make fake websites that provide wrong access information Some get attracted to their offers because many people are unable of these things and just for the sake of earnings, they accept their offers and get blackmailed in different ways which leaves a mark of fear in those people. Whenever you see things on social media you get attracted to them just because you only see what they want to show you but those things which are harmful to you in so many other ways.

3. Drawbacks of Social media life:

Media is a way of spreading rumors about people’s reality, about what is right or wrong, platforms for work, etc. You as a user of some different apps on this platform saw too many things or used too many apps and every app works in its way. Social media is an insect that wants to insert real/imaginary life in humans and wants them to destroy it because this platform only shows you the beauty of their life, not the actual worst reality. You can see so many influencers, bloggers, YouTubers, vloggers, Tiktokers and so many others like them and you see their life in their videos, and social media accounts and want the same for yourself, they tell you about their earnings, some shows styling videos, making world tours and show you guys some specific pages, persons and tell you guys to follow them for achieving all these and you as a user do the same just for the sake of your desires but you don’t know what’s behind this, is it beneficial for you or not? They did all this just to make their accounts promote or to attract people that they will buy things from them and give them good reviews which is their benefit not for other people like you and in this way, they got what they wanted just to people stay connected with them.

4. Destroying mentally and physically:

Everything has two sides both positive and negative but it depends on a person what he/she chooses. Social media also spreads positivity and negativity at the same time in a way that they make machines, Robots also provide different facilities like the internet, mobile phones, and other things like that so, the world is getting advanced which is also very beneficial for us but on the other hand all these things are very harmful to you in a sense that these mobile phones, machinery stuffs make people lazy and they are just addicted to these things and not doing any curricular activities just sit, lay down and always scrolling these gadgets which makes you being idol both mentally and physically. Due to this social media platform, many people get stuck in bad things, choosing the wrong paths and getting caught in different crimes, creating fake snap apps, and making Photo shops due to which so many worse things happen that things are getting out of control and go to the suicidal cases and so many other crimes like that. Where all this happens social media also provides agencies for these kinds of cases but due to this the person who faces all this gets in trauma which eats him/her both mentally and physically and also spreads fear for a lifetime which comes out is not that easy just because you saw other people’s doing same things on that platform so you start manifesting your life in their ways which ends in your destruction. Even if you use social media in so many ways just remember one thing and that is this is just a platform that entertains everyone in various forms and shows everyone’s perspective so it’s not compulsory to implement everything that you see in yourself.

5. Why social media is more like an addiction:

Social media is like a medicine that medicine which if a person can’t take, he/she will get sick but on the other hand if he/she takes that medicine it will also destroy them. You do everything on your phone, and wherever you go you take your phone with you because you can’t stay a single minute without that gadget. I just want to say one thing and that is no one can help you to get out of that addiction you are the main person in your life and you’re leading yourself in your way so just stop and think about all the things which are harmful to you or your mental health.

Conclusion:

Take things as they are not getting too much involved in because not everything is for everyone, sometimes you make problems for yourself by getting too much involvement in those things which end you in a big destruction.
