I feel like social media improves my ability to have relationships. I keep in touch with people and meet new ones. Nowadays face to face talk is even common.

@theowl: that happens most of the time.

The way I see it, "real life" relationships are no more genuine than online ones, it is just harder for people to fool each other.

yep ive been fooled a bit online with people. not sure why people make themselves out to be things they arent.

@theowl: with net personas there are two main choices - either be the most authentic you there is or a big fake.

So from the responses here social media has at least conected introverts in a way they never could have experienced before.

99% of what is on the Internet is an absolute total waste of time. Social websites are certainly part of that.

@mic11225: It's a waste.

because in a lot of it online isnt reality. people get drawn in and they lose the ability to form interactions with people in the real world. its so easy online to make friends and cut them off as they get bored or to become self absorbed.
SW-User
eh it's not social media's fault that i'm single, shitty partners are shitty partners. period.

Depends on how you define a real relationship I suppose
SW-User
It sure has. Most youth today date mainly to show off their "candid" photos on Instagram and their hour by hour updates on Snapchat, while they're cheating off on Tinder and using Twitter to air the dirty laundry after they break up.
SW-User
exactly
SW-User
Yes and no. I think it's made it easier to fuel people's sick fantasies, which would have otherwise been better off hidden.
SW-User
thats true and a lot more easier for people just to fool around without having any commitments.

No. I was never able to to begin with. If anything it has improved my ability to socialize .

More likely technology, and social media, than media itself...
