We live in an odd time. A time where we think about how much our friends like our social media posts. How when they suddenly stop liking them or commenting, we begin to question whether they really are our friends or not.
Can you imagine telling your great grandparents, those that had lived through the Great Depression, about how your friends on social media are suddenly not liking your posts?
“I feel like they are blackballing me, Great Grandma Hall.”
And as we are navigating these choppy social waters, the thought dawns on us that we will have to help our kids through muck like this too. (Pulling the plug on the Internet isn’t the solution either. Let go of the cord!) We have to engage, walk through, and confront these thoughts/situations that pop up. Asking ourselves if perhaps:
- We are spending too much time on social media
- A friend we know through social media isn’t a great influence on us
- Why such such a seemingly petty thing matters
When we get down to the core of the issue, it shouldn’t matter whether someone likes or comments on our posts… and yet it does.
