Social networking sites have become the integral part our life. We know it’s the best way to keep in touch and communicate with our friends in today’s busy lifestyle.
However, Relationship Counsellor Shivani Misri Sadhoo (an eminent Psychologist in South Delhi) suggests that too much dependency to interact with our friends on social networking sites can ruin our friendships too – here are the reasons:
a. Receiving too many updates; as much as we love our friends, hearing too frequently about the every detail of their life - can turn us off with the idea of hanging out with them more frequently.
b. False sense of what is going in our friend’s life: sometimes our friend may be maintaining a positive outlook online, but in reality they may be passing through a low phase. In comparison to Facebook or Twitter updates, a telephonic call, that is listening to our friend’s voice always had better possibilities in which we can sense what is really happing in his/her life.
c. Lack of depth-full conversation: One of the most beautiful aspects of friendship is seeing the world from our friend's viewpoint. Social networking site reduces the desire to meet our friends personally – because often we feel that there is nothing much to discuss with our friends. This cuts the opportunity to have a real conversation with our friends and we may all agree that we are losing the long conversations without friends (even if we are we are working).We should see friendship beyond social networking sites and put real emphasis on meeting them regularly.
