With the rapid development of the Internet, online social networking has become an indispensable part of our lives. With just one click, you can connect with people from all over the world. This convenience makes people yearn for it, and also makes many people have unrealistic fantasies in online communication.
Once upon a time, we chatted with strangers on social software, imagining that the other side of the screen was a perfect soul mate with a peerless face, humorous conversation and an extremely kind heart. Or perhaps in the game world, we expect to develop a deep friendship with teammates that goes beyond the game, thinking that the tacit understanding of fighting side by side can be seamlessly transformed into the loyalty of iron brothers in reality. However, when the filter is broken and the truth on the other side of the network cable surfaces, it is often disappointment and hurt. Those seemingly beautiful personalities may just be carefully packaged lies, and there may be ulterior motives behind the sweet words.
The anonymity and sense of distance of the Internet provide fertile soil for fantasy. But continuing to indulge in it will only make us more lonely and confused in real life. We miss the real warmth around us and ignore the real care of our family and friends, just to chase the ethereal online phantom. It’s time to wake up and understand that the Internet is just a communication tool, not a fantasy place.
Letting go of unrealistic fantasies does not mean rejecting online social networking, but looking at it with rational eyes and a peaceful heart. Cherish the opportunities that the Internet brings us to share knowledge and collide with multiple views, and use it to expand our horizons and improve ourselves. In interpersonal communication, learn to discern and let the Internet become a bridge connecting real emotions, rather than a lost path to an illusory castle. Only by taking root in reality can we gain real happiness and growth in social interaction and write our own real and wonderful life chapter.
