Are you Socially FIT OR a Social MisFIT?


Facebook, Instgram and Twitter= F.I.T
Are you Socially FIT OR a Social MisFIT?

Social networks- the home of Catfish, Cyber Bullies, Depressed individuals, Those seeking attention (Thirst Trappers), The bored and lonely (Usually thirst trapees) , Hopeless Romantics, Mr. and Ms. Mixy, Creeps, Stalkers, Aspiring artist, Entrepreneurs, “Enlightened Thinkers”  and every other classification imaginable for humans these days. Three of the most popular sites right now are Facebook (dying a slow and painful death), Instagram (Thriving off memes and thirst), and Twitter (The playground where the wrong tweet will put your mentions in shambles).

The thing about these sites is the wrong move can skew your followers or “friends” either way (in a negative or positive direction).  I purposely put “Friends” in quotations. I’m happy that Facebook finally realized that not all of us are actual friends on these sites.  I’m not sure if some of you noticed when you friend request someone now, they actually ask you to choose whether you are an acquaintance, close friend, or don’t know the person. I say If you’re looking for love, there are sites for that. Match.com, ChristianSinglesMeet.com, BlackPeopleMeet.com the list goes on. And if you’re looking for sex I hear there are sites for that too. Don’t go Facebook stalking people you don’t know! I don’t care if someone you know, “knows” them. Don’t use mutual friends as plugs for your shenanigans ESPECIALLY IF YOU DIDNT ASK.
At the end of the day these people that you allow access into part of your life, whether it be real or fake, will love you, then they’ll hate you, and then they’ll love you again. Using these sites, you can either go with the flow or do your own thing. I’m going to do you a favor and tell you which sites are best for what. Now for those of you who use all three of these popular sites, we’re going to find out are you Socially FIT or a Social MisFIT? DISCLAIMER: This is based on my personal perception, you don’t have to agree BUT all feedback is welcome.

Facebook: If you’re looking for sympathy, looking to be sympathetic, trying to play internet games, can’t remember a friend’s birthday, want to know who broke up, who’s engaged, who’s in a complicated situation, or want to get a glance at upcoming parties from your favorite promoter, you came to the right place. Facebook is a good place for all of these things. although this wasn't its initial purpose. Keeping in touch with family members and old friends of all ages is easiest on FB also.

 ***Here's a Tip if you insist on meeting strangers (this goes for any site)...***
Instagram: For some reason IG misFITs don’t realize there are sites that let you express yourself through words. So instead, they write these thoughts in a note pad and screenshot or in a tweetgram and pollute news feeds. Instagram, to my knowledge, was supposed to be a PICTURE sharing site where you can like and comment on PICTURES of things and people- not words. IG is the place where if you weren’t invited to the festivities from last night, the pictures will show you how much fun you missed (even if it wasn’t fun). Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner will make you either want to lick your screen or throw up. People show off how much money they have, post party promos, show how much the’re in love, and #ThirstTraps. Pictures of soft porn nudies that say “Studying” or “New earrings” …yea, right.
Twitter: The best place to watch shows and be online, witness slander otherwise considered cyber bullying, you can buy sell trade merchandise, promo any and everything from your newly found single life or share how much you believe females/males aren’t shit. Twitter is definitely survival of the fittest. And they made it so easy to be a creep. The DM feature is a tool of Lucifer. Some think that it stands for Direct Message but it stands for Devil Made, or Damn Ma, or Dis Muhf*... nevermind ya'll get the point. Misfits on here get no retweets, no replies, no favorites and no followers. The jocks have hundreds and thousands of followers that hang on to their ever word. Its a tough world that'll either make you or break you.
                               
All in all, Men Lie, Women Lie, Followers don’t. I think that the ratio of socially fit individuals, to social misfits on these social sites is what makes them fun at the end of the day.
And honestly we're all guilty of being a misfit at some point during our social networking career.
“Exercise your social networking skills so that you can stay socially fit!”
SPOTLIGHT

Honestly very few people read anymore. I graduated and tried not to read anything but my news feeds and text messages. Truth is there are alot of blogs out there that have thought provoking articles for those of you that can't get away from your electronics. When I say thought provoking it literally means anything that can stimulate your thoughts. Here are a few links to some Fashion blogs, Music Blogs, Media blogs, and just straight up entertainment. I support people that aren't letting their minds and talents go to waste. You should do the same.
