The best of life is still found offline. I once wrote here that "Twitter is plagued by angry rhetoric. LinkedIn has toxic positivity" If you think a post like "your application is going to be answered this week" is motivating, you are already a victim of toxic positivity. Scrolling through a feed full of motivations and success stories is a recipe for becoming an impostor or even depressed. That is LinkedIn. On Twitter, conversations are skewed toward having heated disagreements. The way people disagree with you on Twitter is not the way they will do in person. There's something about the platform that encourages incivility. Instagram on the other hand is a happiness trap. It won't take many scrollings before you start wishing you were someone else. The impact is worse for teens. If you're not careful, these platforms will do quite a number on your mental health. Try to balance your feed, and have a diversity of topics. Avoid following too much of motivational talkers and six-figure gurus. I repeat the best of life is still found offline.
That's why the best app is plane mode😅😅. Despite of many usability and technological needs in running business and everything,, there still so many people not using this platforms. And still are very successful & richest on earth. Shukuru Amos , this post is amazing..💪🏿 Let's #Balance what we feed. Thanks bro.
Well said Shukuru, The best of life is still found offline, I like this. You won't get a job by just typing 'Amen' to the "your application is going to be answered this week post". I once said that it's important to control who you follow and what appears on your feed. Our mental health should be our number one priority.
I love the last line. Life is better offline. It's important to build your brand in person/offline. People want to see the real you . Embrace your auntheticity and live the best life possible Shukuru Amos
The Point is how we use them
I have actually resorted to using these apps only on my desktop now. I can't believe the mental clarity I've had since choosing to do this. I schedule, then disappear. Read then disappear — a balance I most definitely never had.
Finding your peace is better, wherever is found it's a better place to be Shukuru Amos
How can the best of life be founded offline while you make a living online? I'm kidding but not kind, I agree with you but also disagree, Best of anything began with your attitude be it offline or online. You may be offline having just kiswaswadu but unhappy because your jealous of your neighbours' happiness or success I like your conclusion as it has light on what to do, but all in all these platforms were not created to make people angry or depressed it's the way people take what see on what they get themselves into. To balance the best of life we have to start with our attitudes, everyone is happy on IG take it as inspiration to work for your happiness. Much-know wa twitter, sometimes they have points take them, if it's viceversa unawapotezea. The best of life is found anywhere, choice is yours
This is a great, you have done an amaizing job analyzing these medias. But still it turn out to be the issue of mindsets. Medias are like a pool of thoughts and admiration, so whoever wants to feed has to grab what is healthy for their life routine.
Finally, the truth..thank you sir!
