Has social media or an experience on a platform changed you?

I am starting to see a change in my behavior. The way I think is also changing. First 3 positives from the use of social media.
1. I learned young people under 25 are smarter, more polite than I once thought. They have unique ideas and can have a deep conversation about anything.
2. I have spoken to people around the world and learned so much from them.
3. I have started a few extremely meaningful and deep relationships with people from social media.

A few of the negatives and I am just being honest.
1. I am disappointed with the lack of class that I see in some people.
2. I have learned that fake people come in all shapes sizes and cross all demographics.
3. I have learned that some people have forgotten basic human courtesies. The moral compass and fabric of our cultures are eroding.

Please share with me your thoughts. Have a great day and thank you for reading this post.

I agree with no. 3 regarding the negatives completely. I think there's so many factors intwined with this that it's too much to discuss in one conversation, but one is certainly the disconnect there is when talking online.

I will say i think it comes down to lack of personal integrity and character foremost, but once people get used to being rude to people with no consequence or visable feedback they re-enforce those pathways in their brains and live in this almost false reality.

@Bebop You are correct this is a hard subject to cover in one conversation. I appreciate you taking the time to share your point of view. I always respect someone who is willing to put meaningful thought to words. Have a great day and I am sure I will send you a follow up reply,if that is ok.
