1.Tagging Hundreds Of People In Your Picture:
Why on earth do some people do this? Yeah, probably for likes?! for letting others know that you've changed your profile picture?! or for any other sluggish reason. Tagging those particular people in those particular photo is one thing, but tagging hundreds of others in your SOLO pic is something entirely different! Doing this makes you look dumb..and I hope no one wants to sound dumb on social media. You know what, the one who wants to like your photo will like it anyway, whether you tag them or not! So grow up my dear friend and stop tagging people unnecessarily.
2.Comparing Yourself To Others:
This is something one needs to take care of, because comparing yourself is the worst thing people can do. Yes, with thousands of people out there who flaunt about their looks, their attire, their jobs, their relationships.. it is difficult for one not to fall into the trap of inferiority complex. But hey, where will this lead you? Understand that not every post on social media need your response. You don't have to consider yourself inferior, low or feel jealous by seeing someone else post whom you don't even know! Remember that most of the stuff on social media is a big fat lie. People selectively self-represent online. They aren't sharing their real lives- they are sharing the life they want to project. So next time you go on comparing yourself and your life with others on social media, be aware of the fact that it will only deteriorate you.
3.Judging:
I've seen people who judge someone on social media merely on the basis of number of likes they get on their pictures. More likes-more prominent, Less likes-less prominent. Oh Really?! How far is this logic accurate? The thing is - you simply can't judge others..not in real life, not on social media, not in any goddamn thing. And if you do so, then be ready and don't be surprised when others do the same!
4.Posting Every Small Details of Your Life:
There's no denying to the fact that making people aware about the happenings in your life is one among many reasons why social media was created. But not every detail of your life needs an attention. These days people on social media are like..Eating breakfast with so & so person, feeling tired, listening to so & so music, various check-ins and what not. LOL. Are such posts really worth posting? To be honest, people don't even care what's going on in your life..they really DON'T!! regardless of few. They barely have time for themselves and their family, then how could you imagine that they'll be interested in your daily stuff. Post and share things which are worth reading. Post about your life events, about your life achievements, life lessons, share some motivational and inspiring thoughts, post about any of the places you've recently visited. These are the stuff people look out for & not any of those nonsense.
5.Posting Negative Comments & Making Fun of Others:
You will come across plenty of stuff where people post abrupt comments about any person or any religion. They'll make fun of actor and actresses about the way they dress, the way some of them act in public and the way they live their life. Once you get small piece of news, you're in a hurry to post it! Just take a breathe and think for a moment..will your updates affect anyone's identity or culture? Will it end up offending someone? Dude, Grow up!! No one has ever made himself great by showing how small someone else is. And posting negative remarks especially on social media is definitely not a good idea.
6.Pretending:
We are our worst enemies because of the way we manipulate ourselves on social media. With numerous filter tools we can now make ourselves look absolutely nothing like ourselves, we wear the best clothes and take selfies, people pretend like they have the best husband, better half..while in real life they probably they don't even have time for each other, people fake about their coolness, their relationships, their appearance, their perfect life..the list is endless. Why can't you be the Real You?? How long could you pretend about these things!! Maybe it's time you throw a little reality back into social media.
Friends, use social media the right way. If you're doing any of the things I listed above then it's time you think about it and if you aren't doing anything from the above list, you're already on the right track in the eyes of your Facebook audience. Don't let yourselves become a social media geek.
