Social network as the inevitable product of the Internet, what is called "no social networking", utensils are always a transition, and the connection between people is the end of all efforts. After we have created the tools, the tools are in turn shaping us. And this shape is like the sword of Damocles hanging overhead, it brings us infinite good possibility, but also can bring more far-reaching, more serious destruction.

  

So it is in the current noisy environment, we have to work harder to detect all kinds of social networks do not know, so that we can more clearly find themselves and the outside world, the reality and virtual that is no longer separate lines.

I. Jealousy

First of all, a study of social networking sites is causing a person to suffer from jealousy? , the study points out that one-third of people are feeling worse and more dissatisfied with their lives after browsing Facebook, while those who simply browse without uploading any information are negatively affected.

Jealousy between people always exists, but it is not as easy to seduce as it is in today's world. In the age of our fathers, the range of jealousy they were able to envy was always in a small circle around them, but in the social networking era it was completely changed. Like the former middle school, high school, college students graduated, a lot of people will exchange alumni, because we know that the future may be running the horizon, the chances of contact is very few. But now the "old" act of exchanging alumni has vanished a lot, because we are all tied up in the social network, we on the microblog, the circle of friends, everyone on, QQ Circle, the QQ space, the group of news inside and anywhere can know each other's how, want to escape are no way!

After a few years, ten years, 20 years later, when we saw the same with us, or worse than our old classmate incredibly prosperous, today in Hawaii, tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, the day after next to Dubai, and they are still in the children's School district room running around, the heart of the gap naturally want to block can not stop.

The social network makes the range of people we can envy be greatly enlarged! Also let the point that can be ticked off is greatly enlarged!

Not only the former students, as long as you contact any colleagues, friends, you can see his track on the social network, whenever there is more than a strong relationship with you, you will be a more jealous possibility.

This is a very good time, materially beyond any time in the past, but also a more likely to cause jealousy, more likely to make people lose their happiness in the era.

Two. Camouflage

Because of jealousy, so to compare, so have a disguise. Since human beings are social animals, the mask of survival is a necessity, and social networks will enlarge the mask infinitely. Everyone in micro Bo, QQ space, friends Circle, everyone online is an actor, as far as possible to show their own, as much as possible to get attention.

Citing "identity anxiety," the view that men and women in the pursuit of love is never-ending, so based on social pressure men want more achievements, and women want to be more beautiful. In reality we often disguise, and in cyberspace, we are more at the same time.

A woman who uses software to make her friends of P. Obviously, we are deeply immersed in the relationship between people can not extricate themselves, we all want others to see their lives, their own very good, very beautiful, very successful. But sometimes the real reality is much lower than it appears. We enjoy the social network of camouflage, we are afraid of reality, because we see the light of death.

It is normal for people to disguise themselves, discontent is a driving force, for the small camouflage and exaggeration of achievement can urge a person to progress. But if this discontent does not make one move forward, it is dangerous to let a person fill it with a social network disguise, and it is a source of many psychological problems. Because when a person on the Internet to create a high-end beautification of their own, and the real side of the hidden, like a duck, water on the elegant, but the water is always hidden under the restless.

In addition to the first topic of "Jealousy", you must now understand that what you see in your jealousy may not necessarily be true, but the product of someone else's disguise.

  

Three. Vicious

In reality, based on social ethics, based on the eyes of others, we will conduct image management, most of the time can control their own self. And the anonymity of the internet is like giving me a natural barrier, so that malicious found a safe release of exports.

Foul language, scold war: it is obvious that the current Internet environment is still not let people take responsibility, all kinds of attacks, dirty words, no point in the network is presented. In the political thread inside the most serious, you post, as if forever only two identity except 5 hair is the United States dog. At ordinary times, we will not say all kinds of offensive language, but in the Internet wanton appearance.

And terrible is this vicious also can infect, originally a person who never curse, also will be hurt by this curses and then enrage, also joined in this whirlpool.

Nationalism: We can often see nationalism holding slogans like "The Chinese are turning". In this slogan, in fact, with a sad absurd logic, a black-and-white identity. Such an imaginary community, still day by day with the Internet.

No antidote: The internet itself is the irrational thinking, all the hate on the internet can not be resolved with reason. This evil can only disappear with time, like war, both sides of the war is not reconciliation but the enemy to kill the malicious, since the loss of 10,000 also to the enemy 1000.

The internet not only connects people, but also the amplifiers of our humanity, and malice is never absent. When malice and malice are connected, only the greater malice will be released.

  

Four. Loneliness

As we spend more and more time on social networks, students and friends will appear in the following phenomenon: We like in the circle of Friends, Micro Bo, QQ space, on the lively site praise comments, but in reality the party is desolate, no words, and even a lot of people will take the phone brush to brush, as if around people do not exist, They're actually partying with cell phones.

In "Winter Wu Relativity", Liangdong once said an interesting point: "A dinner in the form of dissolution, is the first person out of the mobile phone to start." I think more and more people also feel, the furthest distance in the world, is I in front of you, you are playing mobile phone.

Do we have to rely on social networks for face-to-face talk? Why is it that more and more people seem to be very close to each other on social networks, but in reality they are like strangers? Since when do you comment on each other's purpose just to get the other person to comment on you?

There's an article on the Nutshell, "social networking makes us more lonely", talking about loneliness on social networks, where people's lives always look wonderful, and they are "Luther". Always trying to think that a more condescending person is more likely to get hurt.

In other words, you see too much of others ' wonderful, and you magnify their wonderful. You are not careful to identify these wonderful whether through the processing of others, you just feel your own unhappy, through the contrast with others life, you feel your own failure.

For the Wise philosopher, loneliness makes them sharp, they do not need too much interpersonal relationships, loneliness is their enjoyment of the feast, they are always the king of thought. But for those of us who cannot be divorced from interpersonal relationships, loneliness is a sword and a thorn in the heart. The philosopher has seen through everything and will not affect himself by the life of others. Yes, because other people's lives and let oneself unhappy, think carefully, is how lack of reason. We think we're rational, and we're really stupid about social networking.

It's normal to think of yourself as "Luther", which makes you aware of your position and makes you struggle more, but extremes meet, and if your sense of self-efficacy is completely coerced by social networks, it's also very dangerous, and it's very easy to be a "Luthor" Prophecy of your own.

This is a very good time and a more easily coerced era. We are in the upgraded version of "Panorama Prison", and in this upgraded version of "Panorama Prison" we are not only monitors, but also prisoners who are more severely monitored.

This is also a helpless era, we with the ancestors of the original gene, has not fully adapted to the environment, refers to the number of scientific and technological explosion to let everything beyond recognition. Maybe we're really comfortable with social networking and it's going to take a long time. Maybe the future people will adapt, but unfortunately our generation is on the threshold of social networking and we are destined to suffer all the pain of social networking.
