Social network will lead to some psychological problems but I would like to emphasize the fact that if we wisely use social network to distribute information and express ourselves, we will not have any psychological problems
1We can compare us to others through social network. Our sense of self and individual values will be partly based on others’ opinion rather than ours. We find people who are better or worse than us by reading their blogs and watching their albums. In fact, people would like to show their positive side to the public.
2 it’s easier to find solutions to our doubts. We ask some trivial things on Twitter and Facebook when we need some help. We get instant feedback. We are losing our problem-solving ability by rely on others’ viewpoint. Actually, other persons cannot give you accurate answer depending on your context and circumstances. More resources and information make us more confident but more ignorant.
3 We easily friend strangers and get followers but our online popularity cannot prove our real interpersonal skills. We might mistake digital life for true life. We experience the rush of attention and focus like famous persons. Some people will feel depressed when they face truths in reality.
4 we feel anxiety when we lose control on something. Items we post online will likely be accessible forever or for a very long time. Sometimes we post some articles and poor judgments without giving consideration to outcomes. Sometimes we post some photos that we may feel regret and shame about them.
