In today's society being in a relationship is a every day battle. Do not let anyone tell you any different. There are so many obstacles you have to avoid and your trust will be tested. Our generation has to fight harder for our relationships compared to what are parents had to go through with theirs. Today we have to trust that our significant other is being honest. We trust that they are not using social media to talk to other people. It's nearly impossible to find out if someone is cheating because they never have to physically do it. They can exchange words between someone on social media, words that would hurt you if you ever saw. Yet, since there is a simple delete button, you never find out.
5 Reasons social media gets in the way of your happiness:
1. There are hundreds of Social Media channels that allow you to communicate with people all over the world. How do you know your the only one in their life?
2. Your boyfriend/girlfriend can follow anyone. They can see other "options" that are out there.They may become curious and want something more or what they believe would be better.
3. They can hide things more discreetly. They can talk to someone and instantly delete their entire conversation so you never have to find out. Hiding their intimate conversations, saying things to them that they tell you. That they love you. That your the only one. That you can always trust them. Keeping you around until you are no longer needed.
4. Most likely you never will find out, you don't know the person and half the time they don't even know about you. No one has your back because no one even knows whats going on. Its all hidden. Its all one big secret.
5. Your personal life is no longer personal. People can see everything that is going on in one another's lives. Someone may see that you and your boyfriend/ girlfriend are fighting and or on bad terms. They might take that as an invitation to try and reach out to them. To mingle their way between you, at a delicate stage in the relationship.
It's sad to think that our generation has all these fears of not being good enough. That they cant trust their relationship. Is your boyfriend/ girlfriend being honest with you? Are you really the only only one? Are they lying? Are they cheating?
It scares us because sometimes we find out to late. Or never at all. All of these things that can put daily strain on your relationship. Constant thoughts you hope are not true.
