Online Relationships -Healthy or Unhealthy?
Have you ever heard of people called doble-faced?It doesn;t mean they have two faces it actually means that they have two different attituted that they use with poeple. For example... Maria always talk nicely to Priscila but then when she talks to Romina about Priscila she's all nice. This could not only be applied to attitud but to internet life.
Here in the normal world you have to be yoursElf. Act like yourself , never do anything bad or unforgettable in a bad way. In the Digital world you can be whoever you want. Actress model,fighter,goth,hippie,neagtive, positive,punk,social freak,shy.....
Havung the advantage to be 2 different people is really bad. This is a show that you are saying, i'm not comfortable with my self SO i need to be someone else that's not really me. People say those other "them" are more how they are and how they feel but really if you can;t be that way in the real world where everything is believable and has almost always a proof then you are lost in your way to happiness. YOu might seem happy and have millions of friends online but they like you for what you post not for what you actually are. If in facebook they talk to you and in school they won;t then they are not your "FRIENDS". Today, many people get confused they think being in someone;s FRIEND List in Facebook is actually being friends..It;s not..Being friends with someone is knowing them perfectly being able to say if they are mad sad or happy without them saying anything.Really those "Friends" in facebook aren;t friends they should be called " PEople i know".People's self esteem can higher up with their digital me but when they come back to reality they are no one important . That is what brings them down and makes them desire more and more become that DIGITAL me who they'll never completely be. This behavior can bring long term self traumas. Making people being depress for not being really perfect as they look in the pictures. Also by watching all the nice comments like You look pretty and then thinking whish they would say me that in person can bring their self-esteem down.Also some short terms is that after sometimes people will find someone new that they'll like better than you. It's like nursery over again. First everyone is exited for the new toy and then they find there is another one better and they forget about that "NEW" toy.This is one of the reasons why people saty online more and more instead of getting out and socilaizing. They always need to be better so that the followers taht comment pictures won;t leave them. there is always a need of self-imporvement. This is gooduntil a certain piont but evry COMPUETER ADDICT has taken this to the limits.
Double lifes seem fun but it take more than to lie of who you are. It take a whole you and the worst is that when you come down to reality that whole you you just gave gives you nothing in exchange but pain and suffering.
I do agree very much with you. People do have a tendency to act like someone they are not through the Internet. There is no actual way to know who is really telling the truth. It is a very sad thing that people do believe. You make very good points Debora. I liked the way you did your essay. Very well done.
ResponderEliminarDebo you right when saying that people have like a double identity. They pretend to be someone they don't really are. Other thing is that yeah, you don't know if you are really talking to that person! You think that you are really talking to him or her but dont know if somebody else is online in his account. We have to be really careful whe saying the things by internet cause also someone can copy/paste what you said and publish it. I love your ideas cause we think the same way(:
ResponderEliminarI also agree with this one espeically. A lot of people have bouble faces, and that shows that they are not happy abput how they truly are. That means they have low self asteem. So people would so so many different things on the computer then they would say in real life. Very good Debo.
