You need to work on your own happiness. If you find yourself
looking at others’ achievements, you are letting them control the way you feel
about yourself. Envy removes our understanding that being glad for another’s
success and happiness does not affect or weaken our personal accomplishment and
contentment.
We are all aware that Facebook causes envy that can lead to
depression. Facebook is a social networking site that allows everybody to stay
connected with others and to share interesting and important aspects of our
lives. However, at this moment I noticed that Facebook is being used to brag
about achievements, relationship and financial status. We can also say that, it
is one of the causes why we feel dissatisfied with our lives. I also must admit
that I was one of these people who became addicted to Facebook since I always
post pictures of dates with my boyfriend, at first I don’t mean to brag at all until I
realized that this is how I look like to others and this is how others look like to me.
Facebook can be a fun and healthy activity if users take
advantage of the site just to keep in-touch with family and old friends and to
share interesting and important events in our lives.” But If Facebook posts
changes your positive mood into a negative one every day because you can see others’ travel experiences,
promotion, happy relationships, and financial status, sometimes even beautiful
faces, then I guess you should try not to check your news-feed every now and
then. If you can’t control yourself, I think the best thing to do is to delete
your Facebook account and stay away from your gadgets for a while until you
overcome your insecurities.
So if you use Facebook often but you always compare
yourself to others and gives you hurtful feelings then Facebook is not a good
idea to stay connected with your friends. It is important for us to be aware
that this site has many risks that can give us negative feelings.
i agree! in some ways it is useful.. but dont ruin your life by seing other people achevements..
ReplyDeleteLets use facebook as connector not a destroyer.
thank you :)
ReplyDeleteFacebook is a site to freely express yourself, but not to destroy others. One who is capable of using this must also be responsible in posting status, photos, videos, making comments. Just be aware of the thing that a Facebook user must admire and be inspired of what people had reached and succeed, not of getting envied which would cause lead to more serious conditions, especially mental aspects. Be a responsible user.

ReplyDeleteHAs Facebook become my worst enemy?
ReplyDeletecertainly not! Why would it be my worst enemy? It's created
to help connect people wherever they are. I think the worst enemy
that a person can have is him/herself alone. Nobody could really make yourself happy but you alone.
Happiness is all in the mind and it's also a decision.
If you think that Facebook is your worst enemy then certainly it will be.
BUt if you think that Facebook is very useful then it certainly is. Therefore, people
who sees things around them negatively are pessimistic people. But people who appreciates things
around them are certainly optimistic people.
Since we are given free will, we can either choose to be happy and optimistic or be sad and pessimistic.
For me, I'd rather seek for inner joy which is lasting rather than happiness which is temporal.^^
Some people think that Facebook is one of the reasons why we feel insecure but I agree with you ms. Kei... Happiness depends on what you think.If you choose to be happy, no one can make you unhappy. If Facebook posts affect your life, then you must be a weak person because persons of strong character are usually the happiest, they will never let insecurities ruin their lives.
DeleteLet alone those people full of insecurities envy you. It's not your problem but theirs! hahaha
DeleteI'm sure you post photos in Facebook not to envy or brag but let your friends know what you are up to, right? So long as you are not offending anyone. There's nothing to be guilty about.^^ Cheerios!
