Using Social Media Wisely: Building Connections, Not Barriers

Written on

Understanding the Landscape of Social Media

Recently, a post from an old high school acquaintance on a well-known social media site caught my attention—and not in a good way. Knowing this individual for some time, I was aware of their differing political views. While I appreciate the value of diverse opinions and the importance of free speech, I found their content troubling. When I mentioned this to my wife, she posed a valid question: why was I still following them?

This struck a chord with me. Unfollowing felt harsh, almost like a personal cancellation, and as a psychologist, I considered that they might be expressing their frustrations during these stressful times. Instead of engaging in a heated debate—which could elevate my own stress levels—I decided to pause and rethink my approach. I wanted to offer a supportive framework for others who might feel similarly.
