Could Internet Addicts Turn Away From Stressful Social Media To Blogging?

Social media has been around for a good while now

. It started out innocently as a way to connect up with old long lost friends, but now is a way for potential employers to spy on you and for companies to use your private information. Although for many social media sites have provided entertainment and a way to communicate, they are now a source of stress according to the latest research conducted by Galaxy.

It was revealed that over 60% of people believed that social media made up a large factor in relation to their stress levels. This figure comes as a surprise to most, as the social media websites were originally created with fun and personal communication in mind. Yet, the feeling that we need to connect, communicate and reply to one another on these sites has become very stressful for a large number of the public. Feeling forced to communicate has become ultimately stressful for those of us who would prefer to be able to use social media as an occasional place to communicate.

The expectation of replying to tweets to status updates has for many got far too much, as 35% feel under pressure to reply. Its no wonder that for some networking online has become a source of stress. Besides this, social media users have the worry of bosses checking up on them (heard of the familiar story of the girl who got fired due to slating her boss?) and businesses and marketing companies taking their information to use it.

Social media has also been known to be a major distraction from work, which has caused students and workers to get behind, and in turn get stressed out. Many of us feel a sort of addiction to social media, as it enables us to know more about others and connect with them (keeping our social lives up to date), yet, it can be too much of a distraction at times, often resulting in students doing over nighters on essays.

Could it be that with social media being for many an instigator of stress that internet users turn away to more casual forms of internet usage? For instance, forums and blogging do not require you to instantly answer and you can interact as you please. This more casual way of internet usage is far better for those who get stressed out by social media sites.
