What happens when social media come into our relationship
What happens when social media come into our relationship
A few years ago the entry of social media in our everyday life, and in particular facebook , was a matter of news. "Young people today get to know each others in social media," "marriage emerged through facebook ..." and so on.
Not as if this type of media ever had as main purpose effectively to connect people, but certainly contacts leading (and perhaps continue to lead) in marriages through facebook, was an impact of the new mode of contact and communication, and this is recorded.
However, as is well known, the speed of social media development has begun to create new data. Firstly, these media have now multiplied. Facebook , Instagram , twitter , linkedIn , pinterest and so on. Secondly, they touch many different aspects of a person, and finally, we can them from any portable medium; in particular, they have become a small "scourge".
The endless publicity through posting, or other moments of personal exposure type in such media, leaves no margin to privacy that should enjoy a relationship.
At the same time, it is not difficult to perceive the long-term engagement of a young - but not only - person with its mobile and, consequently, with the corresponding applications of social media. The interest is directed there, losing any contact and communication with the partners, and especially with our relationship.
If we follow some simple steps, it may not be enough to save our relationship, but it will certainly give it an opportunity to be healthier and more authentic.
- When you are with your mate, do not check at your cell phone all the time.
- The photos are a beautiful way of remembering, but its disclosure is totally unnecessary. Correspondingly the check in. All this information for the rest it's actually meaningless and unnecessary.
- Limit contact from social media and try to meet each others. Talk about your feelings in person.
- The counting of the likes by one or a rival happens and is problematic. It creates an endless circle of insecurity that certainly does not favor a relationship. Honesty and dialogue are the means to get you out of this circle.
- Make proper use of social media . If you still feel that you have difficulty managing it, think about deleting the app from your mobile or even more drastic results, close your account.
