Social Media is confusing.
No seriously.
Even for an aspiring social media analyst like me.
Trust me, the writing below is not a sarcastic bantering of some people but a genuine confusion.
Like I don't understand why do people, when wishing birthday or anniversary to a friend, have to post picture of themselves with that friend? Is it a loud cry of association proof?
Why do people have to post gush, mush, dush messages for ma, pa, hubby (I hate the term), sister, brother...basically people who live under the same roof? Is the intention to let the larger humanity know?
How can people post pictures in the same pose everyday? The pose being sideways, one leg up (like doggie peeing), and the famous pout? Is it to prove their proficiency in that pose?
Why have people made status updates a regular outpour of their emotions? Like promotions (dude, humility) or someone in their family being hospitalized (I think the person needs you more than Facebook!).
It's a free world and I am no expert on preaching online social boundaries. But I guess some common sense never hurt anyone.
