People nowadays are more stuck in their own little world, filled with their own goals, fears, plans and thoughts. The internet and social media have become our main source of escape from the pressures of life, but have also had a major impact on our ability to connect and communicate with one another. Social media can make it difficult to establish meaningful relationships or connections with others in real life. The importance of communication both verbally and non-verbally is essential for strong and reliable relationships. Talking face to face and understanding body language is essential for creating strong bonds, however, with todays tech-savvy world it might seem that this is becoming difficult to do. Social media and the internet are role models for connecting people from all around the world, expanding our horizons and boundaries. Social media is used as a way to distract ourselves, escape the world and often scare ourselves with the illusion that it is all about us. We must remember to use caution when using social media, because it is very easy to be overcome by anxieties and depression due to the fantasies and expectations of our self-idealized profile images that we created to show ourselves to the world. We should never forget the importance of physically spending time with the people we care about. We should strive to make the most of our face-to-face conversations and make sure that we have enough meaningful real-life communication. This can be achieved by being present, free from distractions and focusing on the conversation. Besides, interacting face-to-face helps builds trust, empathy and love, thats how we can learn more about ourselves and the people that surround us.
