How social media affect a person's self-esteem?

Social media has become one of the most important aspect in our society, every aspect that involve our normal life right now is touch even a little bit for internet and obviously for any of the social media now on the "Market"

But really, it affect us in some way?

In my point of view SM (social media) has good thing and also bad things, and if you use it wisely can be a huge tool to help you in a lot of aspects... what? you don't understand me? OK! let me explain it to you.

First of all lets talk about what exactly is self-esteem, a easy way to explain self-esteem would be...

When you see yourself in a mirror, do you like what you see? 

When you walk in the middle of a crowded place do you fell that people is looking at you in a bad way?

What do you think about yourself?

Are you happy being who you are?

Those are basic questions that help me in one point of my life to understand that i had no self-esteem so i could improve some thoughts  to be happy in my own skin. because at the end was just me having problems with myself.

In this season that we are living, the fact that we have so much social media  involve in our live can work in our favor o toward our doom (and yeah sound  a lot dramatic, let me explain myself) 

Everything in this life that we live should have a balance  and with the SM we need to be more careful. I accept SM can be really helpful when you have a business, when you need to connect with people from other part of the world, when you want to find someone special o even in school to find information of a specific subject. As I told you SM if we know how to use it is a really good tool that will make our life easy in different ways, then why I am telling you here that be careful?

There's a lot of danger in the internet and in the SM now days. People that pretend to be other people, people who just want to steel in someway information and people that even they can pretend to know you.

A lot of people put a lot of information in their blogs or SM   that makes easy to other people not just to follow them on line but make it easy to follow them in real life.

In some cases a lot of people pretend to be someone else in SM, pretend to have a carrier even more money, and that may seems good or funny but it actually is like playing with your reality. I know a few people who change their personality and pictures in order to have more like in Fb or more followers on Twitter, and let me tell you something if you are interesting in doing something like that i can assure you it will not make you happy. those persons  had a pick of happiness when they had more followers or audience in they SM but they realize in some point that that audience was following "another person" and that person wasn't them. 

Every follower of friend request have the power of making you feel happy?

Why?

SM is important in our society and is really IMPOSSIBLE try to live without them... always remember...

Be yourself, be happy, everything will work out for you! 

But be always honest!
