this

has helped us expand our social network, it has

also

promoted a tendency of self - isolation and awkwardness during physical interactions. I agree with

this

statement and

this

essay will give relevant reasons to support my opinion.

Firstly

, the continuous use of social

media

platforms has led to a habit of connecting with

people

virtually.

This

has

further

resulted in changing our behavioural habits of socially interacting with one another thereby making personal conversation challenging and a difficult task.

Consequently

, virtual platforms are extremely addictive and have reduced our concentration levels of participating in society with

people

around; as it is often noticed that we are still active on these tools during social events.

For instance

, Facebook and Instagram users are often observed posting pictures and videos during a live gathering rather than enjoying the moment with

people

present during that occasion.

Secondly

, communicating through social

media

is often misleading and does not portray reality.

This

might result in creating embarrassing situations after facing the reality.

For example

, profiles created on dating or matrimonial websites are many times fake with misleading information and

then

in

such

cases only a non-virtual meet can reveal their true personality and character. In conclusion,

although

social

media

platforms help us connect with many

people

virtually, it has adversely affected our ability to interact with the world physically and is

also

fails to represent our individuality.
