Behind the Screens: The Way Social Media Connects Us All Your best friend is probably waiting for you, and all you need to do is press the follow button. Have you ever come across someone on social media that reminds you so much of yourself? Well, it’s pretty common actually, and it’s likely you were meant to be friends.
Online friendships are becoming just a common as online dating. Not everyone is a social butterfly, and not everyone can go out of their comfort zone to mingle with people they don’t know. Social media has been a huge benefit for introverts.
Often times, it’s easier to spark a conversation behind a screen, it relieves some of the potential awkward tension of face-to-face communication. After a behind the screen connection, the in-person one will feel so much easier.
But why even take the risk? Well, don’t ignore the endless possibilities. Ignore the potential judgment, you’d be truly surprised how many friendships start online.
Online friendships serve as way more than anxiety relief, but a universal connection. The barrier between states, countries, and continents has been eliminated. Video calling has made it so much easier for these connections to happen. Rather than paper mail, your physical face is there, also furthering connections.
Back in 2015, over 50% of friendships started online, and today, those numbers are skyrocketing. Another angle of comparison, in addition to online dating, is gaming. For years, people have relied heavily on video game friendships. Before social media friendships, this was the ‘big thing’, and it was frowned upon. As online friendships, have increased, and the apprehensions that others have when thinking about it has shifted from video games. Nowadays, videogame friendships are no longer a taboo thing, but rather, online friendships.
