It’s rare in this day and age to see someone who doesn’t use social media. I know kids who are under 10 that use social media which absolutely blows my mind. I’ve always been one to have all the social media sites. I’m a nosy person and like to know what is going in. I use social media to keep up with everyone I know, especially if I don’t see them all the time.

The first social media that I got was Facebook, I don’t really remember when that was though. After a while though, I stopped using it, I guess because it wasn’t cool at that point in time and then I started using it again a few years ago. I feel like I use Facebook more than I use any other type of social media. I occasionally get on snapchat just to see what people are doing and sometimes I post stuff but it’s mostly when I’m at an event or something. I used to get on Twitter all the time but now I don’t ever get on it. There’s so much to look at on Twitter, that’s too much for me. Instagram is something I do try to keep up with because people are always posting on there. I guess I post often on Instagram but I’m not excessive about it. I don’t ever post two pictures in one day that drives me crazy. I just mainly use social media to keep up with people that I don’t see every day.

I think some people still use social media as a form of communicating but some don’t. Some people use it to see how many “streaks,” “likes,” “retweets,” and “followers” they can get on their form of social media. I’ve seen people who have used it and to me it comes across as fake and I know it is fake because I know that person. People are portrayed differently on social media than they are in real life.
