Reasons of not using social media part 2 4.Real friendship If I do not use social media, I can keep close with my friends in real world. I really hate people show their kind and friendly personality by clicking the “like” button under other’s post. They will think I do not care about them if I do not “like” their post / them. I can’t believe people’s friendship is maintained by clicking “likes” to each other. At same time, I get bored that I always get “likes” from my friends via social media when I am asking for help. What on earth do you “like”? 5. Be myself If I do not use social media, I would not try to perform the perfect “me” in front of people. I care more about every detail that I post to social media if I use it, because my contacts include not only my close friends, but normal friends and people whom I have met for once. I do not wish my image tends to bad and negative. Therefore I always design every detail before I post it, and I cannot present myself as I want. Because I have already built a perfect self, and I do’t want to destroy it. Designing for individualism would never end.

Conversation A：Bさん、おはようございます。しゅうまつはなにをしましたか？ B：おはようございます。わたしはメアリさんのいえにいきました。わたしたちはバーベキューをしました。 A：いいですね。メアリさんはりょうりをつくのがじょうずだとおもいます。 B：はい。たべものはとてもおいしいでした。きのう、ほんとにたのしかったです。 A：わたしのしゅうまつはたのしくなかったです。 B：どうしたんですか？ A：らいしゅうにしけんがありますから、べんきょうしました。だから、ぜんぜいおもしろくなかったですね。 B：そうですか。わたしはバーベキューをしにいきましたから、しゅくだいをつくっていませんでした。 A：ざんねんですね。じぁあ、がんばってください。 B：はい、ありがとうございます。

5 reasons of not using social media 1 1.Protection of Privacy If I do not use social media, people will never know how old I am unless I tell them. Wherever my daily routine happened will be exposed once I share a selfie, share a location or share a status. People will know where I live, where I eat lunches and how I go to school. It is easier to let people find me by reorganizing a identifier in the picture which I send, even though we meet each other in cyberspace. Sometimes being away from social media means being away from ill-disposed lurkers. Also, people will know everything that I post on my personal file before they talk to me. In other words, they will have a formed image of mine in their mind before they know me. I prefer a better start of one friendship that happened in real world, rather than social media. 2.More spare time If I do not use social media, I can save more time for personal use. I realize I am wasting time when I am learning what Friend A post and what Friend B eat for dinner every day. I will get almost a whole day per week if I can save one hour which is spent on social media every day. Searching on social media and new updates cannot help me improve myself. I can use the saved one day to read a book, have a short trip with friends, and learn how to bake a birthday cake. 3.Self-esteem If I do not use social media, I would not be labeled as “popular” or “unpopular” by how many “likes” I get. I will think one person “he/she must be pretty good at socializing” when I see this person have a large amount of friends in his/her social media circle. Similarly, I will feel upset if I do not get many “likes” and comments from my friends. I will keep refreshing the page until I receive a satisfied amount of responses. It will make my heart break and I will lost a lot of time on waiting for response at same time.
