7 Reasons to Avoid Facebook:
Mark Zukerberg , the youngest billionaire in the world who made it, never thought that it would become so popular so soon. In fact, if you are not on Facebook, then people look at you with surprise. It has become kind of basic need for people.
Today there are 1 billion + registered users on Facebook i.e every seventh person in the world is on Facebook and in all probability you will also be one of them. And must be using Fb with hobbies. But the thing to think about is whether you are using it in limit or over-using it?
Let's say using means you give less than 1 hour daily on Facebook, and overuse means more than 1 hour. And yes, using does not just mean that you use it in front of the physical system or with your smart phone in hand, even if you think about Facebook, it is being counted in your facebook using time. Because our mind is occupying space for it.
And if you are thinking that if I am not addict then look at these traits, if they are in you then you can be addict:
- Your mind often keeps thinking about what comments would have come on your posted things, how many people have liked it.
- You repeatedly refresh the Facebook screen without meaning that something new appears.
- If your internet does not run for a while, then you go to cyber cafe to check updates or call a friend and ask.
- You also carry a mobile or laptop in the toilet so that Facebook can be used
- Before going to sleep you do good night to everyone and in the morning, first of all, see what reactions have come on your good night.
And now let's talk about you, how long do you use Facebook?
Well, if your daily routine of using Facebook is more than 1/2 hour(s) then you are wasting your time, unless you are doing it purposefully. Purposefully means you are promoting your business, running a campaign for a social cause or doing some other meaningful work then it is worth giving your time in these cases.
What kind of people use Facebook more than necessary:
In my opinion :
• Those who have no meaningful goal …… the wanderers
• Those who want to attract people's attention… .the attention seekers.
• Those who are more interested in the life of others than their own lives… ..the peepers
What can harm Facebook over usage?
Its list is very long, but today I am sharing 7 such points with you, so let's see them:1) You unknowingly give control of your happiness to others?
How? Actually now your happiness starts to depend on how many people like your posts, your pictures or videos on Facebook, how many people are commenting on it… how they are making comments… etc. For instance you took a new watch and posted a photo of it… obviously you loved the watch so you took… but when your friends on Facebook does not like it and someone makes fun of it then you might become sad. And the opposite is also true… you do not like anything but the rest of the people call it good then you become happy… so in a way you give control of your happiness to your Facebook friends. I do not say that this happens to everyone, but it is so true that we are influenced by these things somewhere.
And over a long period of time, these small effects get bigger and we don't even know where we left our real self.
2) Do you see the blessings of others and your shortcomings?
On Facebook people generally share only good things of their life… People tell good things happening with them, their status is something like “My new machine”, “Lost in London” .. etc
In reality, you do the same, but inside you also know your reality, but in the case of others, you see what they show you, you see their new car but not the EMI that comes with it, You see the swanky office of a friend but not the tension they get with it. And when this happens, you start comparing their happiness with your sorrows and ultimately feel low.
Due to Facebook, the number of people going into depression is increasing day by day, just beware that you too should not fall prey to it.
3) Real friends and relationships suffer:
Many times people are very proudly saying, "I have 500 friends on Facebook" I am sure if half of them go through your front, you will not even recognize them. In reality, our friends on Facebook are less and acquaintances are more. Well, this is not a bad thing… but if we give more time than necessary to these more or less fake relations, then somewhere we compromise the time we should give to our family and friends. I know our close friends and relations are also on Facebook, but frankly speaking on Facebook they also become like common people to us, because Facebook is like a crowd… and the crowd has no face…. Had… like done, commented and moved on…. It is not in the soul of Facebook to pay attention to the individual people.
4) You seem to communicate mainly with addicts:
Perhaps you have heard about Pareto principle … This principle says that 20% of things are responsible for 80% of things.
For eg. 80% of sales of a company are due to 20% of the customers.
The same thing happens on Facebook… 80% of the updates are done by 20% of the people… and you keep linking to them again and again… and basically these are the same addict kind of people who just stick to Facebook. . And interacting with such people can rarely tell you things of work. This is mostly waste of time.
5) You get the illusion of being socially active and the reality is the opposite:
Due to being on Facebook, many people think of themselves as socially active, and by en-bye friends they fully understand their role. Gradually it becomes absolutely mechanical… you do it on Facebook but do not react when you meet the same friend in college or office… it is like your online presence matters but your own presence is meaningless. Why?
And when you behave like this, people start avoiding you and somewhere you think you are fake. That is, you feel that you are in the most touch, but on the contrary you lose your touch.
6) Your health is affected:
Being on Facebook can cause you both physical and mental problems. Your eyes may be weak, you may develop spondylosis by sitting in the wrong posture. And there is always a danger of going into depression.
7) You spend the most energetic days of your life in lazy entertainment:
If you see the demography of those who use Facebook, then most of the young people of teens and twenties use it. If you are outside this age group, then this point is not applicable to you.
Teenage and twenties is the time of life when there is no shortage of energy in you… Ever wondered why God gives you the most energy at this time… because these are our life making years…. There is a lot to be done… ..the challenge of taking the burden of studies or the responsibility of home… the challenge of choosing your career and beating the competition… listening to your heart and wanting to do something… instead of spreading your hands in front of parents. Stubbornness of stopping the hand, and to do all this, energy is needed… energy is needed; But unfortunately due to the over-usage of Facebook, you invest it in the wrong place.
Finally, I would like to say that Facebook is like a noisy mall… It would be nice to spend a little time here, but if you start living there, your life will become deaf in the noise of others. Do not let it become deaf…. Put your time into doing something big, something valuable, something fantastic and when you do this, not only your friends but the whole world will like this work, and will give the above comment, " gr8 job my son ”.
All the Best !!
