THE NITTY GRITTY OF CHATTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The significance of online chatting cannot be overstated, as it is one of the key noteworthy evolutions of communication that serves as the medium or channel of connection with our friends, loved ones, and business associates; in fact, it has advanced to the point where you can practically automate your response to an incoming message whenever you aren't online. However, despite all the benefits of online chatting, it still has drawbacks.
Like I said earlier, chatting is a very important part of our world today, and it has served as a way for me to communicate with the outside world. As an introvert, I tend to keep to myself and have few or no friends in the real world, but online I seem to live a different life because I have the opportunity to communicate without flitter and to meet new people, make friends even though I don't have any physical connections.
ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE CHATTING
Reduce costs and time.: Online chats typically save time and money that would otherwise be spent on travel and hours spent on the road only to meet the person you want to interact with. Thanks to online chatting apps, I can effortlessly communicate with anyone from anywhere.
Make new acquaintances and reignite old ones: As time has gone on, social media has been a place where I have been able to reconnect with long-lost friends. I am grateful for this, as without it, we may not have been able to do so after distance caused a rift in our friendship. Additionally, I have made several friends on social media who have since grown to be my closest friends.
Help snuffs out boredom: Although I usually play video games to pass the time when I'm bored, the social media is another useful medium that helps relieve that sensation easily. It's one of the places I go to when I'm bored because I tend to have friends to chat with online to pass the time.
One of the nicest things social media chat has ever done for me is to introduce me to a designated helper who not only met my needs but also gave me guidance and ideas just when I needed them.
Another benefit of social media is the mind-blowing prizes I've won. To name a few, I've won LG appliances like microwave ovens, watches from online retailers, and numerous cash prizes on Facebook.
DISADVANTAGES OF ONLINE CHATTING
- Addictions: Online chats can become quite addictive since we have a tendency to become unduly absorbed in them to the point where we practically lose track of time and neglect other needs.
- Procrastinating: When following the trend from addiction, I believe we all know it'll surely plays down to procrastination, because when we get so engross on a particular activity, that mean we'll run out of time, cause we'll keep changing mind on when to attend to the other important activities.
The fact that social media has reduced my opportunities for in-person interactions and contact with friends and loved ones is one of the negative effects of it on me. Since I spend most of my free time on social media, I frequently run out of time for these activities.
In conclusion, online chats have their ups and downs, but when they are correctly managed and flittered to balance both ends, they will yield the best results.
I appreciate you sticking with me so far, and I hope you learned a few things. This article's inspiration came from the @hive-learners community feature topic on social media conversing, which you can read through this post by @kronias to get all the information.

Thank you so much for sharing the ideas on how to balance things, hehe.
Hmmm sorry to say, but I think you didn't get the body of my message correctly, because I didn't talk about a girl, neither do I talk about having offline interaction, I talked about the opposite and how its a downside of chatting on social media.
Lolz 😂😂, I know that, I'm the girl here 😂😂.
I think you are the one that did not understand what I said.
I said it's good that you have a good interaction with your world offline and also online, and that is so cool .
I like to have a face-to-face conversation but if not, it can be online. However, I like to be in front of the other person physically.
Well you're quite lucky, I tend to be more of an introvert meaning online chatting is the safest heaven.
Yes, but it's better to be face to face, to feel the presence of the other, to see the expression and inflection of words instead of just reading what the other person tells us online. But I understand you.
Ok that's great, I'll take note of that and implement it gradually.
Yes, I think you do well and you will.
🤗
I think that personal contact is very important. Despite the new technologies, whenever I can, I give privilege to the face-to-face part.
Yea, it's indeed important, and I hope to bring a balance between both soon.
We have to have a certain balance and, above all, stop and think about what is best for us.
You're absolutely correct, thanks for your addition.
you are welcome
🤝
This enlightened me more and I'm able to confirm some of the points cos I also prefer talking online than physically with someone...
thanks for the enlightenment 👍🥰
That's good to know this write-up inspired and bless you with some points, I hope you make good use of it.
Have a blessed time.
I understand the fact that chatting online helps you as an introvert to express yourself without the fear if facing the other person physically, but do u know that it's also a disadvantage of its own because you need to overcome it, i see you also stated that it's best to balance the both side of communication.
Good luck.
I really love to talk with my front person but when it's really need then go on online chat.
Online chat is also important now a day..
Some often i also chat with you when really its need.
Overall it's have advantage and also some disadvantage bcz of addiction.
So far, many people have been helped by social media chat, (in my opinion) it's just that there are a few problems for those who are negligent, usually fraud on behalf of other people (can still be minimized) but for me social media chat is quite helpful for many people in communicating.
good brother, this post is very directed👌

Socal media has helped me especially when I'm bored, I can easily go to social media to cheer myself up but like they say that everything that has good things actually comes with it bad ones too.
When you become too attached to social media, you can become addicted and as such many things that you should have done will then be postponed.
Procrastination is also one of my bad habit once i see something funny online i forget what I'm doing so easily.
Indeed... All that matters is just balance. Once we can figure that out, every other thing will come easier for us.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
