Are Social Media Destroying Real Relationships?

I do not know if this happens to you, but I look around me and I notice that I haven't met many people, apart from my family. And with the few people that I used to be in touch with, now there is only silence. Social Media allegedly connects us... but, what is it really connecting? My finger with the screen or my heart with another person?

I look at posts, stories, comments... but most of them are people I barely know, or who have not written to me in over a year. Sometimes, I feel that if I don't message anyone, I simply stop existing for people.

I do not have friends. I am not say it as a complaint, it is just the reality. I am not interested in pretending is fine just because I have friends on Facebook or followers on Instagram. That is not a real connection. No one shows up in important moments, no one calls just to ask how your day is going.

I am not saying that Social Media is bad. In fact, sometimes it helps me to spend time, to get informed or only for distraction. But to me, these are doing more my loneliness that sometimes it is hard to say. The worst part is that it seem normal.

Do you have any advice for someone who wants to find real friends? I would really appreciate it.

1. The word “is” here is missing. You need to add it or use the contraction “it’s”

For any other subject/pronoun, “are” would be used, but “is” is used for the she/he/it pronoun

The word “me” is unnecessary here and sounds a bit unnatural, so you can take it out

And with the few people that I used to be in touch with, a few people, but now there is only silence. I used to be in touch with a few people, but now there is only silence.

The way you structured this sentence is comprehensible, but that last part is grammatically incorrect. To keep that last part I restructured the first part of the sentence aswell. Additionally, the word “and” is normally never used to start a sentence, as it is a preposition; a connector word. Although this is only if you want to follow grammar rules intensely, no one would bat an eye at this in spoken speech or informal settings like texting, it’s just something to keep in mind if you’re trying to write formally like writing an essay or something

1. You need to have the word “from” in front of the word “people”. The posts, stories, and comments are not the people, they are FROM the people. 2. This works, I’m pretty sure it’s actually a saying, but I don’t hear it much if at all, I’ve only ever heard it from older people. You can use this phrase if you want, it’s perfectly fine, but the word “talked” is an alternative that you can use and a word that is also just used more.

Sometimes, I feel that if I don't message anyone, I simply stop existing for people.

I am not say it as a complaint, it is just the reality.


I am not saying it as a complaint, it is just the reality. I am not saying it as a complaint, it is just the reality.

I am not say ing that as a complaint, it is just the reality. I am not saying that as a complaint, it is just the reality.

1. You need to add “ing” to this verb because you are currently saying not saying that as a complaint; you’re talking in the present tense 2. The word “that” should be used instead of “it”

No one shows up in important moments, no one calls just to ask how your day is going.

No oneFollowers don’t shows up in important moments, no onethey don’t calls just to ask how your day is going. Followers don’t show up in important moments, they don’t call just to ask how your day is going.

I’m assuming you’re talking about followers or friends on Facebook here, it’s not quite clear that you’re talking about them here, so instead of referring to them indirectly, you should refer to them directly. All the verbs also need to be conjugated to fit the she/he/it pronoun.

In fact, sometimes it helps me to spend time, to get informed or only for distraction.


In fact, sometimes it helps me to spendpass time, to getstay informed or only for distraction myself. In fact, sometimes it helps me to pass time, stay informed or distract myself.

I,in fact, sometimes it helps me to spendpass the time, to get informed or only for distraction. ,in fact, sometimes it helps me pass the time, to get informed or only for distraction.

1. The phrase “in fact” is often inserted into two different clauses, it isn’t used as a sentence starter 2. “Pass the time” sounds more natural

But to me, these are doing more my loneliness that sometimes it is hard to say.

But to me, these are doing more my loneliness that sometimes it is hard to sayctivities are just making me lonelier. But to me, these activities are just making me lonelier.

I’m not entirely sure what you meant by this, your phrasing was very confusing, but I think you were trying to say it makes you lonelier..? Feel free to correct me

The worst part is that it seem normal.
