Reflective Diary Week 1, Social Media Experiences.


Social Media

I have been using social media for quite a while, I think my first was myspace in the early 2000s. I am very ambivalent about it mostly, but in todays society it is a necessary evil. I’ve never really had any bad experiences with it. I am a quite an introverted person, so don’t really tend to interact too much online. I see so many extroverted people online vying for attention and it makes me quite uncomfortable.
My favourite social media platform is probably youtube, I love being able to learn a wide range of subjects. I once uploaded a video on youtube  of a primary school play I was in. I shared it around a bit to my facebook friends and it got quite popular, on last viewing it had over 1000 views. I use facebook, messenger, snapchat and Instagram, but only to connect with people I know. I probably spend a couple of hours a day on social media.
I have recently become single and have started to use a few dating apps, tinder, bumble and hinge. I’ve had mixed experience with it. I find It to be quite a superficial way of meeting people. On the positives, I have met a lot of intelligent likeminded people too.
