Social media is gradually taking over television in this generation, people will rather read news on the internet than watch it on t.v.

What makes it more interesting is that they re free to air their views through comments.

Alot of negative comments has degraded certain individuals and this too leads to depression.

Also you get to find out who just got married, and if you re single you might start feeling depressed.

Many people come to social media to display their fortune. If you see your mate buying houses and exotic cars, traveling abroad on vacation, you start to ask questions like when will it be my turn. Social media helps to remind you of your misfortune.

If you see a woman with triplets after 10 months in marriage and you’ ve been trying to conceive for 10 years, you will definitely be reminded about your problems and this might lead you to depression.

If you were never on Facebook or Instagram where you get to see your mate in secondary school and university, you sure would be at more peace with yourself. Because they won’t know what’s going on in your life, so you don’t Ve to start giving yourself headache. But having them on your friend list gives them a glimpse about your life and well being, I’m not saying it ain’t cool. But just speaking for those who get depressed.

If you want to escape being depressed on social media, just be in the dark and keep people guessing as they won’t know your present status. Don’t use your profile pic on what’s app, Facebook or Instagram. Delete them and replace with picture with messages. That way nobody will get to know your business.
