Does Social Media REALLY Help You Keep Up With Others or Just Leave You Feeling Left Out?




 Someone reminded me today of that feeling you get when Facebook makes you feel left out.  This someone told me about her adult son who has everything going for him, seems like the most secure guy yet he called her just to find out where his brother was after seeing a post of his brother on a beach.  From his tone and the out of the blue call and other indicators, he seemed insecure and anxious.  

This is a feeling I don't miss at all.  How many posts do you think that rather than making you feel connected to your online person, make you just feel left out, missing out, hurt or envious?  Without seeing that I simply feel happy with my day.

Carry on.
