First Draft: The Impact of Social Media on Relationships

Nowadays, social media sites become part of everyone's life. Everyone has an account on at least one or two platforms sharing their lives beautiful moments. Despite the countless benefits of social media, it negatively affects people's relationships. For instance, social media is considered to be a waste of time. According to a survey conducted by Digital Information World’s website, social media users spend on average over 2 hours daily. People spend more time scrolling down pictures than talking to each other even when they go out for dinner. Miscommunication is another example of social media’s drawbacks on relationships. Talking through text messages could always be misread since it does not reflect emotions. Also, with some texting apps, senders can know if the person they are texting is online, has read their texts, or is responding. So, any kind of a delayed or no response could raise doubts and misassumptions. Finally, social media can be very misleading. People, who just met and explore each other profiles, could see something that makes them less interested. On the other hand, when people meet online and then in person, they could be surprised by the difference in personality since social media is not accurately reflective. The use of social media has many disadvantages in relationships.
