is there a time when you felt that you are disconnected from the real world, and not being able to adopt with reality and real conversations and being with friends . but you can do that all day on social media? the feel that you can talk about things by writing but not with a talk face to face with someone ? or some people? standing in front of a group and say what you say by posting in any site and you know lots of people will see it is it something that we need to be aware of and take care of that so we dont loose it to social media that kills our social skills?

I think it is for sure. Almost all the time I see people on their phones or on social media instead of out and interacting face to face.

Maybe it is right, especially in the big city where individualism have being usual condition. Social media more and more reduce our social skill to meet others directly.

I am shy by nature. So, social media has helped em open up and grow as a person. Social media isn't all a bad thing.

In my case Social Media had helped me. The story began when MyLot stopped paying and there was an exodus. Most of them who left could be found on Facebook and another site. I did not go to the other site, and chose FB instead. As I started using it, I could also connect to many of my school and college friends who, you know, had lost touch - given the facts that in real life we became too busy with professions and other responsibilities. But when I see the kids of today spending hours in front of computers instead of having a real life, I feel sad. They surely miss the good things that should have happened to them at their age.
