What social network affects our psychology?

Social network is an internet tool which allow people to communicate with our old friends, to see how are they doing and so on. In one side, it is a good way to know about them and still keep in touch with them especially our close friends. However, too much of it will make us don't feel excited to know about them, and sometimes making us comparing with them.

In the past, if old friends met each other accidentally or inaccidentally, they were every excited just to hear each other voices because they miss each others, they want to know about each others, what they are up to right now. However, because of social network, nowadays, those information from our old friends are there and sometimes you can chat with them, but what to ask them if you can see how are they by just seeing their fb profile and pictures and so on. So communication with each other in real world is no interesting anymore. Imagine, you see two closed friend who you never met for 10 years. One friend keeps updating his information everyday, how he feel about his work and so on. And another one, never use facebook, and you don't know anything about them. Guess which one you may interested to know more? It must be the one without facebook because he doesn't know much about you and you don't know much about him too. That's the beauty of friendship, to talk, to communicate with each others with excitement.

To me, Facebook is a place to showoff. Some people want to show off their beauty, some want to showoff the place they live, the party they join, the friends they have. They actually don't really care much about people in that Facebook, they may just want to showoff. When they start showing off, they will start comparing whether what you showoff is better than the other friends or not. Or what you showoff is interested to any other people or not. As you know, once you start comparing your life with others, you will not be living in peace anymore, you keep doing something that it could be better than your friends and try to show off as well. And sometimes, when you can't do that, that only just make you sad and disappointed in your life.

Facebook is no good for people. It's good in some ways such as updating to some news and so on. But what is that for? Some news are not important in our life. It just makes us think more which keep wasting our time in them. I prefer living without social network so that later when i really miss any of my friends, i would just call them or go to see them once a while. I don't want my soul to be gradually dead in that way. I don't want others to know about me and I don't want to knows about others as well. I hope i make the right decision.
