DARK SIDE OF INFLUENCING

DARK SIDE OF INFLUENCING

Whenever you're scrolling on Instagram or Facebook or Tik tok you see so many young adults trying influence something a product, a business or a service. Aside from those you might find that there is these group of people who influence without a niche.

Now, what is influencing? It is the capacity to have an effect on the character behaviour and development of a person.The internet has its own upsides and downsides at the end of the day you choose what is meant for you and what is not.

There has been this recent trend of a growing following of quitting ones job to follow their dreams. This may sound amazing but it is not what it seems to be. They are encouraging young kids to quit their jobs and follow them for some said program of better living.

At first glance this might seem great but behind the lines the vision is blurry and the tight rope is thin. These kinds of videos go out to Gen Z and their millenial counterparts, major decisions like quitting your job or moving to another country are huge lifestyle changes and should not be influenced by the Internet.

But still you will many gen z's in the workplace quitting and pursuing their passion but with a plan and not just having to quit when things go bad.

For growth you need change for in change there is growth. I recommend that whenever you want to change your lifestyle you should have a plan. 

Tik tok is notorious for these kinds of influences. I have seen accounts which encourage binge drinking to all out theft. Please remember the internet is a tool and there is alot of things going on there. It is for you to decide and wear a sort of kind armour on your head to protect it from itself.

Especially with new algorithms from Tiktok the list of influencers is endless with some not even influencing a thing. Just pure brain rot. Designed to alter your dopamine receptors in the brain. I can't lie I am a victim of doom scrolling but that is what you get and putting a wall between the internet and characters and behaviours from the many influencing gurus.

To conclude there is only one thing I can put across let not your mind be cajooled by dumb videos on the internet instead having self awareness can go a long way.
