Don't get me wrong, I love social media and many (not all) of the things it has to offer. But sometimes, and this has happened more than once now, I fall completely out of love with everything about it.
The thought of someone tweeting, or creeping facebook, or watching youtube videos, and so on, I just can't take it.
But then other times I can't get enough I tweet 5 times an hour, and find many other ways to engage. Others can attest to this, but when I am in this state, I become obsessed!
Is this just me or is there a reasonable explanation to this? Perhaps social media, like many other things is like pizza. You order the pizza from your favourite place with your favourite toppings, and you eat a few slices and it tastes great. But then, even though you are full you go back for one more, and that puts you over the edge. The very smell, sight or thought of that pizza makes you feel nauseated. But then you digest a little, and the pizza doesn't look that bad anymore, and after a little bit- you go back for more.
Maybe I am just digesting social media. Taking a healthy break to realize I got a good thing going on. Who knows really. At the end of the day, I think it is safe to say that there is more love than hate and I almost always go back for another slice.
