When Social Media isn’t Right for Anyone
The subjects discussed on Social Media should be more valuable
‘None of us realise how comforting the finiteness of our conditioned worldview is until it is wrenched away from us.’
William Whitecloud, The Last Shaman
This morning I’ve gone on Twitter. I was checking what’s going on. I follow writers, authors and a few blogger twitter handles. I was interested to see what people tweet for their blogpost. I was shocked to see how similar, or indeed, the same things people blog about. For instance, every other blog post is about beauty, fashion, travel and, of course, mental health.
Mental health has become so fashionable now same as self help books. The whole industry has shoot up. Now everyone has done some kind of coaching and are life coaches to help people find purpose, love, joy in life and etc. Are we all that lost? Do we need that many self help/mental health blogposts?
The other subject that has become almost fashionable to write about being gay and how families do not accept that. I feel like these topics are not giving me anything. I understand the struggles people might be going through. But we can’t all of us go through the same struggles at the same time, can we?
