Motivation (MDC #1) by DeYtH Banger (short story to read .TXT) 📖

Part 1

 I was about to kill myself

...

1) The first thought was that I don't like life
    - The second... I don't deserv to live

 

 

...

UNtil

 

 

(Don't choose suicide... just try to follow me... in this book.)

 

 

Chapter 1 - Accept

 Accept the person who you are, accept that.

 

...

You should accept yourself you are different and that's what makes you.

 

...

You are not:

 

1) Robin Williams

2) James Bond

3) Bruce Lee

4) Jackie Chan

5) Brad Pitt

6) Morgan Freeman

 

 

or Even

 

7) Tom Hanks

 

 

 

- You can learn from them... they continued to pursue their dreams... they wanted something out of life and they got what they wanted.

 

And "You" 

 

Dear "You"

 

YOu want to be like others... to be accepted... 

 

But sorry.. . this is not a good idea... fitting somewhere means becoming somebody else.

 

 

 

 

NOT YOU


BUT SOMEBODY ELSE

 

 

 

 

                                  

NOT YOU


BUT SOMEBODY ELSE

 

 

 

NOT YOU


BUT SOMEBODY ELSE

 

 

 

NOT YOU


BUT SOMEBODY ELSE

 

 

 

 

 

NOT YOU


BUT SOMEBODY ELSE

 

 

NOT YOU


BUT SOMEBODY ELSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life is not about putting on glasses or even a mask... or a hat... and 

 

forget all about all other things

 

 

life is not social media

 

...

 

Life was created so all other people to can express themselfs... not to hide their personality just somebody to accept them.

 

 

...

 

 

LIFE IS NOT HIDING THE TRUTH... IF YOU TRY TO HIDE IT... YOU ARE ALREADY SOMEBODY ELSE... NOT YOU... BUT SOMEBODY ELSE

 

 

...

 

SO NOW WHO IS LIVING YOUR LIFE?

 

 

yoU OR SOMEBODY ELSE?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 2 - Social Media

 It won't improve your social skills...

 

In such place you can be everyone

 

 

You can:

 

Use fake images Become somebody else Fake Data Fake Everything Fake what you like Try to be everyone but no you

 

 

Emojies - Don't express human  emotions

Happy images - Don't really show how we really feel

Like, sharing - Just starving for few minutes of attention

- Social Media causes anxiety, getting anxious... not always somebody replies after your message..

 

 

it could be

 

 

5 Minutes wait 10 Minutes Wait 20 Minutes Wait 35 Minutes Wait 1 Hour Wait More than 1 hour Wait More than 4 Hour Wait

 

 

And while that happens:

 

 

DAMAGE!

 

 

 

Instagram is the worst social media network for mental health and wellbeing, according to a recent survey of almost 1,500 teens and young adults. While the photo-based platform got points for self-expression and self-identity, it was also associated with high levels of anxiety, depression, bullying and FOMO, or the “fear of missing out.”

Out of five social networks included in the survey, YouTube received the highest marks for health and wellbeing and was the only site that received a net positive score by respondents. Twitter came in second, followed by Facebook and then Snapchat—with Instagram bringing up the rear.

 

The #StatusOfMind survey, published by the United Kingdom’s Royal Society for Public Health, included input from 1,479 young people (ages 14 to 24) from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. From February through May of this year, people answered questions about how different social media platforms impacted 14 different issues related to their mental or physical health.

There were certainly some benefits associated with social networking. All of the sites received positive scores for self-identity, self-expression, community building and emotional support, for example. YouTube also got high marks for bringing awareness of other people’s health experiences, for providing access to trustworthy health information and for decreasing respondents’ levels of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.

 

 

But they all received negative marks, as well—especially for sleep quality, bullying, body image and FOMO. And unlike YouTube, the other four networks were associated with increases in depression and anxiety.

Previous studies have suggested that young people who spend more than two hours a day on social networking sites are more likely to report psychological distress. “Seeing friends constantly on holiday or enjoying nights out can make young people feel like they are missing out while others enjoy life,” the #StatusOfMind report states. “These feelings can promote a ‘compare and despair’ attitude.”

Social media posts can also set unrealistic expectations and create feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, the authors wrote. This may explain why Instagram, where personal photos take center stage, received the worst scores for body image and anxiety. As one survey respondent wrote, “Instagram easily makes girls and women feel as if their bodies aren’t good enough as people add filters and edit their pictures in order for them to look ‘perfect’.”

 

 

 

Other research has found that the more social networks a young adult uses, the more likely he or she is to report depression and anxiety. Trying to navigate between different norms and friend networks on various platforms could be to blame, study authors say—although it’s also possible that people with poor mental health are drawn to multiple social-media platforms in the first place.

To reduce the harmful effects of social media on children and young adults, the Royal Society is calling for social media companies to make changes. The report recommends the introduction of a pop-up “heavy usage” warning within these apps or website—something 71% of survey respondents said they’d support.

 

It also recommends that companies find a way to highlight when photos of people have been digitally manipulated, as well as identify and offer help to users who could be suffering from mental health problems. (A feature rolled out on Instagram last year allowing users to anonymously flag troublesome posts.)

 

The government can also help, the report states. It calls for “safe social media use” to be taught during health education in schools, for professionals who work with youth to be trained in digital and social media and for more research to be conducted on the effects of social media on mental health.

The Royal Society hopes to empower young adults to use social networks “in a way that protects and promotes their health and wellbeing,” the report states. “Social media isn’t going away soon, nor should it. We must be ready to nurture the innovation that the future holds.”

Using Social Media is Causing Anxiety, Stress and Depression

 

 

 

Note: Life is not about putting glass and forggetting that eye contact exists

 

 

Depression

 

The idea that social media can be dangerous is not new. I think on some level we all know that it can cause us stress and anxiety.

We fret about how we look in pictures and how our comments sound. We worry that other people are having more fun and doing more things. We wish our last picture got more likes.

But we continue to consume it all day, every day, because in the end, we assume that the dangers are overblown. We assume that social media is mostly harmless.

 

 

 

Meet Madison Holleran

 

A freshman at the University of Pennsylvania and a star athlete, she was intelligent and talented and successful. Everyone she knew said she was happy.

But in her very first semester away from home she started to feel anxious and depressed. With her best friend she would scroll through Instagram and think, “This is what college is supposed to be like; this is what we want our life to be like,” ESPN reported.

In January of 2014 Madison killed herself. Since then ESPN has investigated the role social media played in her death and in aggravating her anxiety and depression.

 

 

That’s Just One Story

 

Of course, there are millions of other college students just like Madison. Anxiety is now the number one mental health problem on campuses across the country, and therapists are becoming increasingly concerned about social media making things worse.

Cyberbullying and harassment, comparing their lives to classmates, fearing they’re missing out – social media contributes to anxiety and depression in all sorts of different ways. And the more we consume, the more problems it can cause.

 

 

 

It’s Not Just College Students That Need to WorryAdvertisement

 

Yet the dangers go far beyond college classrooms. These days everyone is consuming social media, from 13 to 93-year-olds. No one is immune. Here are some of the biggest concerns researchers have found so far:

 

1. Time spent on social media is correlated with depression

 

Researchers have found that the longer you spend on social media, the more likely you are to be depressed. Other surveys have found that using Facebook and Twitter less helps students to be more focused and less stressed. We can debate the reasons why there is a correlation, it could be that people who are already depressed are likely to spend more time on social media. But the correlation is still troubling, especially when you read a story like Madison’s.

 

 

 

2. Social media is incredibly addictive

 

Once you get on Facebook, it’s hard to stop. Most Americans check it once a day, if not multiple times. Likes and comments can serve as positive reinforcement, making it even more difficult to stop. Some researchers have even created a scale called The Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale to measure this behaviour.

 

3. It can make you unhappy, unsatisfied, and restless

 

A study out of the University of Michigan has found that people who use Facebook more, are more likely to be unhappy than people who use it less. Similarly, those avid users also said they were less satisfied with their lives
