I’m discussing why social media isn’t bad for relationships.

It’s a related thought that I address in a rap verse I made.

Social media’s a popular commodity that has the world in a stranglehold.

Why Is Social Media Not Bad For Relationships?

Social media allows its users to stay connected. It’s a window to another place where you’re allowed to share and receive experiences. From there you’re allowed to learn about each other. If used correctly you’ll have access to and feel supported by the members you interact with. Allow your social to be a tool by overcoming any shyness you may have.

Staying connected

Social media allows us to keep in touch.

With it you can locate resources and connect with care.

One of my favorite aspects is the instant communication.

It can be the new way to spend quality time with any person you go on to build a relationship with.

I had my first experiences with it during my teen years and haven’t looked back since.

There’s a list from MUO that shares 7 ways social media brings people together that I recommend to anyone wanting more.

Those are just a few ways to stay involved and connected through social media these days.

When you’re in a digital age you either flow with the future or remain living in the past.

Sharing experiences

Our experiences on social media are shared through several mediums.

It could be photos and videos or even other forms of content.

These sites are starting to head in a more positive direction when you consider they’re getting better at exposing fake love.

Before it seemed as if people would only wanna be nosy without genuinely caring about whoever it is they’re following.

Sharing experiences however is one of the most valuable things you can possibly share.

I believe we share because we’re interested in being interesting people.

There’s nothing wrong with that but it’s important to at least be aware that’s the reason if it is.

Someone that’s watched these sites evolve could tell you it’s shifting each day to the point where memes are now becoming memories.

Learning about each other

Social media shares the highlights of our lives. It teaches each other what type of image we care to portray when being online.

We might learn what type of news interests our friends.

Maybe even connect friends with old ones and vice versa.

It’s stimulation that teaches us about what we want to know.

Online friendships can teach us about what we really value in a relationship.

I personally have people I’m much closer to from social media than I ever was with people I met and knew before it.

There’s positive and negative things about what it can do to friendships.

I’m generally not concerned with the bad because the rest falls in line as long as I’m doing what I can to be a good friend.

It’s fascinating to see how making new relationships is changing so fast.

It could come from presenting yourself in just the right way to where someone genuinely wants to know more about you.

One of my first memories of making a friend online that translated to an offline friendship was on Facebook.

I’m hoping to do the same on Instagram too.

Things will be much more fun if you make your online experiences less about numbers and more about quality of connections.

An honorable mention that I wanna add to being a possible treasure for building a friendship could even come from X.

It seems less corporate and much more informal when it comes to interacting.

Access to support

Feeling supported

Overcoming shyness
