Social media networks are the places where you relax, learn interesting things, and show people who you are. Social media users can choose what to show and what to hide, which could lead to the constant desire to be popular and look perfect, known as the pressure of online recognition. We always want to be like the people around us. On social media, we see the best parts of other people’s lives — their vacations, their career success, even their stunning selfies! It’s easy to get frustrated if you don’t have similar career achievements or post remarkable selfies as they do. This can make you want to be more impressive online and show off all the time. Social media even keeps a score of your posts and comments! Every like, comment, and follower becomes a number that results in daily pressure. It’s tempting to think that the more popular you are on social media, the better you are as a person. This can make you focus on being liked instead of being yourself. All those kinds of pressure can be toxic for us. Wanting to be popular online can make people stressed, upset, and unsure of themselves. Trying to seem perfect all the time isn’t real, and it gets exhausting for many people. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to take a break! The bottom line is that you mustn’t let social media control you. It’s vital not to compare yourself with others all the time and just focus on being you. You’d better spend time having real-life fun with other people to experience true happiness instead. (Adapted from English Workbook 12 – iLearn Smart World) Question 23.
