Hey beautiful souls! Something I’ve been pondering over the past few years is the effects of social media on relationships and connection with others.
We are Being Taught to be Independent and Selfish
It seems that with the mass social media structure in so many different forms, it is easy to get caught up in online socializing instead of human contact and connection with others. We are also being taught that independence and individualism are sufficient. We are being taught to be selfish. So many teachings focus on not needing anybody else. We are being taught to be too independent and if someone does the slightest thing to offend us then we ghost them instead of having adult conversations and communicating openly and honestly our hurt or fear or expectations. Everyone is hyper-offended at everything everyone else says and we are no longer allowed to have an opinion and we simply shut each other down instead of listening from the heart.
I’m not talking about situations where there is repeated abuse. I’m talking about the way that we are being taught even through some radical spiritual teachings that we are enough so that we don’t need anyone else. We are taught that if everything does not match up all at once right away, then just walk away at the slightest bit if uncomfortable. Guru’s in many arenas are teaching us to be hyper-critical. The use of the word narcissist and gaslighting seems to describe every person you meet if you let it. It has been said that everyone has at least one narcissistic trait because of our human past experiences that cause us to emulate these behaviors as a defense mechanism. We don’t allow others to be human. We are seeking perfection on a ridiculous level. Which is actually quite narcissistic in itself.
In my own experience it seems socializing and dating have become lazy and impersonal. And in talking with others it feels like social media and online dating make it so very easy for people to simply throw people away or ghost people as if they don’t matter. There is no real deep connection for many who use these platforms to make “friends” or seek romantic relationships on these platforms instead of in person. I have read many of the profiles that clearly state their unemotional rigid expectations of perfection in a relationship while they are not willing to be flexible even the slightest bit. I have seen quite a few express they are just fine being alone, which can be healthy to a point however in many cases can be a trauma response and avoidance of opening your emotional heart that you might get hurt again. In many cases these people had been on the site for 10-15 years seeking relationships. Strange…
In addition, unless you are video chatting at some point, there is no real way to know who you are communicating with if you are simply texting or emailing.
Humans Are Wired For Connection and Love
In many studies it has been proven that we are wired biochemically for connection as humans and it is a basic human need in order to survive. We create cultures and communities of support when we have connections with others. We build tribes and neighborhoods. We seek and find and create relationships with others who are likeminded and supportive. We share a deeper energetic connection with others through our energy and aura when we are spending time together vs. just sending a text to someone.
Studies show that our heart wall (energy) expands several feet from our body in all directions around us. And, our hearts and pulse and breathing actually sync with others when we are physically close to others, especially those we Love or are in a relationship with (such as a spouse).
Everything is Energy.
Have you ever come in contact with someone and you can just feel their energy or mood? Especially if it is different than your energy or mood. You can pick up on their energy and feel there is something positive or negative or “off” even before they speak? Depending on how sensitive you are to others energy, you can feel this as if it is palpable, especially those we are close to.
Everything and everyone radiates energy. We create energetic connections and bond with others including animals. Animals tend to be especially sensitive to our energy.
It takes time and effort to create and sustain deeper, meaningful and lasting relationships in which both parties feel real connection.
In modern times the use of social media has removed the personal connection and depth that relationships are capable of. I have spoken to others who admit that they don’t even use texting as they would rather pick up the phone and reach out to someone and hear their voice and talk with them as it is more personal.
Texting takes only a few moments, does not express the energy of feeling or emotion, and in some cases can be taken completely out of context from it’s original meaning.
It seems as if social media has caused humans to become lazy in creating meaningful relationships. Most lasting relationships that are meaningful require actually showing up, leaving the house and spending time together. You can say anything through a text however the energy of a voice can speak volumes. The touch of a hand creates bonds and connection in a way that texting can not. The expression on your face and looking someone in the eyes as you are talking with them can express that you care about what they are saying, that you hear them and see them. None of these things can be conveyed through a text or email.
A couple ways you can connect deeper with someone is through a phone call or video if you are mutually comfortable and you are not able to share time with someone in person.
What are some ways you create deep connections and meaning in your relationships other than texting or emailing?
