Worst Social Media Personalities As Dictated by Facebook?
By Jobs & Hire Staff Reporter | Oct 16, 2013 09:42 AM EDT
Every person who uses Facebook either loves the social media platform or loathes it, and it all depends on how contacts manage their web presences.
The Facebook generation has a hard time keeping their feelings to themselves. Each time a user will log in, he or she feels compelled to write something in that empty status box, feeling the need to share what happened or will happen. Is over-sharing a social faux pas that the modern generation is too blinded to realize?
It can go both ways. According to Huffington Post, the secret to an "unannoying" Facebook status is that it has to serve the reader and not only the author. Characteristics that describe up an "annoying" status include "image crafting," "narcissism," "attention craving," "jealousy inducing," and "loneliness." A
humble brag" about something "great" going on with the author's life can also be considered "annoying," according to the author of the Huffington Post piece. But what gives them the authority to judge people based on their web presence? Probably a deep understanding on how it is like to live in a life ruled by social media.
Although the author does have fine points, one could not help to think of the piece as "whiny," and unapologetic. Though the kinds of statuses mentioned above don't necessarily serve the readers much purpose or information, it is not an excuse to judge a person with his or her inability to control the urges of sharing thoughts. What each person writes on Facebook, whether self-serving or not, does not dictate his or her goodwill to others, or how well he or she performs a task. It might be a little "weird" to pour out emotions or excitement on the worldwide social media platform, but it shouldn't be the basis to oversee a personality.
A personality is not dictated by technology but merely suggests a web presence. A Facebook status does not determine if a person is good or not. It does not determine how well a person relates with others. Each person who signs up in Facebook volunteers to see all updates and statuses from the people they connect with, and pieces like these indicate how Facebook turns insecurity into an acceptable form of judging people.
