Social media de-stabilises our relationships

9/October/2025 in Kraków

(*This writing was originally released in one of my social media )

Social media lets us "Disconnect" from each other, instead of "Connect"

This is a well-known irony about this online era

We are "supposed to" be connected the most
But the level of loneliness is the highest, somehow

I personally feel
social media also de-stabilises our relationships with others

Makes a relationship fragile

Because
we are "forced to know" things that we don't really have to know


There are lots of things we don't have to know
about friends, family members, or strangers

Yet, social media can reveal them and force us to know them

Prime example is my writing here

I know there are people who enjoy my delusional nonsense

But also, there are certainly people who actually don't want to know about my views on things

By publishing here
I "force others to know" something about me that they have never asked me to tell

The same goes to me

There are things that it'd be overall better if I didn't know something about him/her
