Building Relationships on Social Media

Social Media has its ups and downs just like everything else in the world. Our daily lives are greatly impacted by social media because we are engulfed in all the activity that goes on. It has become an important part of everyday living. For example, when I wake up in the morning the first thing I check are my social medias accounts such as Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat because I always feel the need to keep up with whatever that is going in the “social media world”. The Internet & Social media has become this great outlet for people to express their selves. YouTube is a great resource that people have used to express their personality and also to let out their thoughts. People interact with one another and create and build “Internet friendships”. I mean who knows you might find your best friend or your life partner on the Internet. I have heard stories of how people become YouTube buddies and actually become best friends in real life. Although they might leave across the country from each other they fly out to visit each other. Some people have also built relationships that led to marriage through social media sites like Instagram. Who knew that you could potentially find your soul mate on a social media website. In this day and age finding and creating relationships is so different. There are numerous dating websites online for you to meet someone to have a relationship with. I have a friend that met her husband on Instagram. They started off by liking each other Instagram pics and then started to communicate in the Instagram direct messages, things happened so fast and they connected so well that she was flying across the country to see where the relationship was going to go. She started working and settled herself in the new city and later on they got married. There are so many negative aspects of social media but there are also some positive ones like finding love.
