Social media is schizophrenogenic parenting style xinfinity


Posts: 9609

I scroll through Twitter and it’s like 

“omygod I’m so depressed I’m having a mental breakdown I’ve had depression this last year my dog committed suicide please donate to my grandfathers pumpkin patch fund or all the school children in this obscure country are going to die from neglect and this is a picture of my parents who died on this day in 1997 and I wouldn’t be where I am without them. My severe anxiety is so bad I committed suicide and I have horrible drug addiction from abortion after someone took away women’s rights and raped me and then I was homeless and now I’m trans and no one believes me including my only friend my goldfish died this year has been so hard and devastating thousands of people are dying and explosions and death and destruction and society is crumbling everyone is dead my soul has been carved out by the grim reaper and devoured by the cannibals! End racial profiling. 

 

And then it’s a meme of someone’s grandma sending them a letter in the mail that has a picture of their iPhone in a scanner. 

And then it’s like “I’m doing hot girl shit” *women in outfits they bought on shein for 20 minutes* 

 

And then people either thirst posting about being single and having emotions about it or about their significant other and how in love they are and pictures of them being pregnant 

 

 

and then it’s people making random claims like, “being angry makes you age faster” and everyone likes it 

 

 

and I just, It’s a really wild circus that’s hard to keep up with these days

I genuinely think it’s contributing to peoples mental illness 


because it’s like 

“everything is bad!”

”eberything is funny” 

“everything is bad and funny!” 
“look at me on vacation” 

“I’m sexy!”

”we are in love” 

“hormones” 

“here is more memes!”

”everything is bad!”

”look at me!! I’m hot!”

”EVERYTHING IS NOT OK” 

 

and the impact of consuming that at an incomprehensible rate like 

 

it’s gotta have an effect. Maybe we aren’t meant to process this world this way, but. 

I think it’s genuinely driving some people insane and they don’t realize it.

I pick up the phone and it’s like *wild screeching noises, intense wind blowing, alarms sounding, audiences of people screaming* 

 

and then I put it down and it’s all silent again and I look around like…. 👀 

 

… are people okay??? Maybe They need to calm down

Would you say it's any better or worse than when people were following TV pre-internet?

I have a hard time answering that as my memory of a time before social media’s prominence probably is clueless and baseless as I was a small child 

 

I was in 6th grade when I learned of YouTube’s existence and I thought it was the most magical thing in the world but by this time MySpace and several other online like messaging platforms existed, memes already existed etc. so. 

 

But, yeah, I was born during a time with internet like. So I don’t know a world without internet or pre-internet as you say. I’ve never witnessed it. Idk what that’s like

Before the internet it was TV and movies, then it was magazines and books, pretty much anything that allows us to connect with an author is deemed a 'mental health risk' over edgy themes.

 yeah, I'm just making a joke about social media but for some reason you're taking it too serious again
