"The more social media we have, the more we think we're connecting, yet we are really disconnecting from each other." -- Anonymous.

Got no one to talk personally but have a lot on chat box. No time for opening up from family, talk about life and how we are going, yet social media friends became aware about how are you going and what are you up to. Indeed, being so connected on social media builds gap around our circles which is literally not good but really what's happening. Somehow, being so trap on social media gives us feeling of loneliness, a feeling that we're alone and have no one to lean, especially when you're troubled and our social media friends are not online. But the fact is we were just afraid  to talk to someone that is around our circles prominently, our family members because we became more attached to those persons we met online. Truly that we are building connections to other people on social media yet we are creating boundaries among the persons  we are close to, personally. Moreover, social media can ruin human interaction.

Disconnect to Reconnect

"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said." -- Peter Drucker

        Some thoughts we badly want to express somehow remains unspoken,  it's also one of the reason why some people are more linked on social medias. They want to free themselves from everything and just wanted to empty their minds through posting it on the internet. By sharing what's on your mind on social media apps many can relate, like and even share your thoughts by those who felt the same with you. Disconnecting from things that bothers you gives feeling re-connection to some things, socially.
