Social Media and People’s Life Sharing

Living in the era of social media entails showcasing our lives on a virtual stage. Photos, posts, daily activities — all serve as a showcase on these platforms. However, this presentation often revolves around seeking approval, admiration, or sometimes criticism from others.

Social media platforms intensify the pressure of ‘living according to others.’ Memories of vacations, lavish lifestyles, special moments — all become elements of a show. Yet, beneath this exhibition lies the fundamental question of whether people are truly following their own desires or living up to others’ expectations.

Many of us seek validation in the form of likes, comments, or increasing followers. However, after posting, the responses received might not always fulfill us; they can sometimes leave us feeling inadequate. This cycle perpetuates comparison and amplifies the pressure to ‘live according to others.’

This phenomenon extends beyond social media posts; it infiltrates our daily lives. The effort to meet others’ expectations, the culture of consumerism, and succumbing to societal pressures are commonplace. Be it family expectations or workplace demands, people often find themselves inadvertently living up to others’ standards.

In such circumstances, individuals embark on a journey to question their realities and discover their genuine desires. They seek ways to shape their lives not just in alignment with others’ expectations but based on their own aspirations and values.

Perhaps the crux lies in recognizing our own truths, desires, and values. Living life on our terms, independent of social media or societal expectations, could potentially bring more happiness and inner peace. Breaking free from the pressure of ‘living according to others’ and aligning with our genuine selves may pave the way for greater contentment.

In conclusion, navigating the influence of social media and the show society puts on individuals to find their truths might be a unique journey for everyone. The essence is to embark on this journey based on personal aspirations, thus evaluating their lives on their own terms. In doing so, living a life true to oneself, rather than as per others’ expectations, may render it more meaningful and fulfilling.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
