Social media is a huge part of our daily lives. We connect each and every day with people that are ten miles away to one thousand miles away with the touch of a button. While this has tons of upsides, it also has a multitude of negatives, most of which have to do with relationships. We look to insignificant social media cues such as Instagram likes and subtweets on Twitter to gauge what someone is feeling when it comes to us. We're all guilty of it no matter which way you slice it.

While social media makes it easier to communicate, it also makes it more difficult. Before social media if you wanted to say what you were feeling, you kept a diary. Now you can tweet your exact thoughts for the entire worldwide web to see; not that this is a bad thing. Sharing ideas and feeling can help you connect to others when you thought you were alone.

However, sharing your thoughts isn't always one hundred percent direct. People can often be left wondering what in god's name you are talking about. For example, your boyfriend tweets lyrics from Drake's "Too Good". It leaves you wondering what you did that annoyed him so much that he turned to Rhianna and Drake for solace. The answer is simple. You didn't do anything. He's just really enjoying Views at this moment in time and had to share his feelings with Twitter. But would you have thought that in the first place? No, probably not.

Yet another instance would be when you haven't heard back from that guy you went to Honeygrow with last week. Is he ignoring your texts or did he is just an awful texter? You truly have no idea because all he does is tweet and like Tasty videos on Facebook. This is a question you'll probably never get the answer to.

When it comes down to it, social media is great. It really is, but a lot of times it leads to someone getting the wrong message in one instance or another. You don't want to ask what they mean if you suspect a post is about you because that's awfully uncomfortable if your hunch is wrong. So for now until we as people go all Raven Baxter and find the inspiration for subtweets we will all have Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" in our spotify playlists.
