What is the worst thing about social networking?

Raffie · 61-69, F
It takes you away from meeting people in your community and socializing in person.

The way some people act because they are behind a screen. The cold hearted lack of empathy is a sickening disease of social networking with side effects seen in the real world in the way people interact with each offline.

hi LadyDeborah
yes that is horrible. Good there is a block button.
I was thinking when people leave and you miss them.

Either the time spent, or the illusory aspect of its validity.

@shaelan Wow!!!! This is the truth!!! I think these are the most honest words I have ever read online.Thank you!!!☺

@sogdianrock I also live in a wood and don't find social networking to be fake in terms of personal experience, but observe the outcomes of interactions had over social media can be illusory. Are they really as important as they seem? Perhaps, but we all walk away from the computer/tablet/phone/whatever eventually. When we do, the world is still there, unchanged despite our experience, yet ever-awaiting our return. Be well. :)

@SW-User Wow! You're welcome.

hi shaelan ·
Sure vital as in life affirming. All is RL! Social Networking can provide greater intimacy! Sure is a different medium but nt qualitatively different imho.

I think they are the same thing?
If not they overlap a lot. Agreed btw.

I guess it's the trust broken and the exposing of private convos and photo's when people become scorned

that's why I am so gunshy

hi NeitherLostNorFound
wow that IS bad. I never even thought of anyone doing that. I never send photos. I quite like it being like radio rather than tv. Sorry of that happened to you!
Scorning seems sort of old fashioned. Didn't know you could still do that.

Be able to see everything what an ex is doing or a crush. Leads to jealousy and hurt.

Disingenuous people, seems people put on a facade to make their lives seem better than they really are. I'd rather see the raw difficult parts of a person.

@sogdianrock LOL well my butterfly may never get out of this darn cocoon until I pass on I suspect.

The exaggerated drama an the big competition specially between the women

The TMI factor/loss of filters/detailed airing of dirty laundry.
sogdianrock · 61-69, M
Hi Magenta
had to google that: TMI means "Too Much Information"!
not sure what loss of filters is.
dirty laundry is never good
