The world has always been
about showing off, showing off riches, looks, abilities well it’s a long list
to go through. Why? Well to be treated well, looked up, in the society we live
in. When this has always been like this, what separates our time and generation
from previous ones?
‘the social media platforms of course.’ Previously there were
restricted people in our social circles, all of them friends or at least
acquaintances, now? The majority being strangers.
‘Show off’ is not alone in this journey it is well accompanied by ‘validation’,
and destination is either superficial, a momentary feeling of worthiness or
gloomy, empty feeling of worthlessness.
Validation
Being an advocate of
“Motivation comes from within” it’s beyond my comprehension as to why likes and
dislikes by strangers would prove our worthiness to us?
why try so hard to get approval from people we know nothing about? If we are
that confident and self-assured as we show online, then why is there this
mental nagging to check notifications in every few minutes or feeling upbeat
and downbeat depending on no. of likes and dislikes?
Always more than meets the eye
We are the best versions of ourselves or maybe a facade when on Instagram for followers to approve of us.Reality is quite the contrary, not much of a problem until the extent to which one goes to create that façade is extreme. We see the finished/ photoshop/edited posts but there is more than meets the eye. The veracity of the post, reliability of the information in the post, Buy instagram followers cheap are the thingsthat we are unaware of. Hence hundreds and thousands of followers getting influenced by someone they know nothing about.
