Social Networks and Anxiety
It is a reality that " life 2.0 " is the life of many of us for a good part of the day. Obviously some more than others ...
This greatly simplifies our task: we can
answer many questions at the same time and without moving from place to place
... or constantly moving around without being noticed, if we do not want to.
The very comfort that He gives us turns very easily against us.
The immediacy that connection gives us always gives rise to anxiety, which is already evil in modern society.
With our supersonic phones, we can reply to emails, watch videos, use GPS, and all at the same time or desperately jump from one object to another without even realizing it.
We look at the weather on the weekend, check Facebook, send emails and can get off the bus.
In addition to losing the landscape and finding out that a new place is opening on our route, we are constantly thinking, connected and alert.
The most dangerous for my taste is WhatsApp.
Feeling helpless without a phone is addictive.
It is very rare to see a person on public transport who does not touch any devices during the trip.
We are ALL on the phone, except for a few venerable old men in the hospital's reception area. It doesn't matter if the magazines are 5 years old.
It has been studied and described as addictive.
Today's topic is anxiety.
Can you hold on without looking when you hear
the WhatsApp login?
What happens if they don't answer you?
What if it takes them longer than you think is
logical to respond? How do you react?
This unmet need for an immediate response is
as worrying as the worry that you are in bed and your cell phone is receiving
emails from work with problems you cannot solve at the moment.
What's the solution to all this mess?
It is true that everyone has their own life
circumstances and they more or less depend on the phone, but the solution lies
in us and in a precious and rare common sense.
Murphy's Law is always on our side.
The only time I had to go looking for my daughter in the hospital was without a battery when they called and the second time in the shower ... The truth is they eventually found me. We cannot always live with a connected red phone.
If you have such a difficult situation, do not go to the theater and do not fulfill your duties. You annoy others and, even worse, artists. They are tired of mobile phones. We all think we're so smart that no one sees us ... but we really don't have the guts to turn it off.
The solution is to set logical limits. Consistent activity that helps us in our work, rather than giving us more.
I have lost patients and I think many of them did not make an appointment on Facebook and it tastes very bad, but we cannot meet this demand day and night, by land, by sea and by air.
It’s unfair that they write on WhatsApp on Sunday to change the appointment, but whether or not to do so is in our hands.
As my grandfather used to say, "Against vice, there is a merit in asking not to give."
We're back to boxing and maligned and underutilized common sense.
