After reading this article it made me think about how online social networks are different from face to face relationships with people. The article tells how people on social network sites feel less anxious and posses greater self esteem . I can only think of one reason why. Its all about who we associate ourselves with. I personally feel in real life the face to face world it is difficult to find many people who posses the same interest or qualities as yourself. Lots of times people associate themselves with people who are completely different from them. This all changes when entering the online social networking world. Online it is easy to enter a blog group or find people with similar interest. If you enjoy old comic books i can bet somewhere online you can find an entire site where you can share ideas and thoughts. This explains the less anxious and greater self esteem. When you associate your self with people of similar nature it is easy to be your self with no worries. Its when you are surrounded by those who you do not feel comfortable being your self with that create problems. To be honest people do find people of similar qualities in the face to face world but not all the time. Online any one can find those people who they can feel comfortable with.
