12/31/2023 0 Comments Whatsapp status privacyPeople post in order to get a reaction and most of them crave for support. Research also indicates that these status updates are not necessarily 100% reflective of reality of their situation. This further strains the relationship as the status viewer keeps guessing, whom the status was targeted for.Ī recent study by Facebook revealed that people who share status about their relationship are insecure. it becomes apparent that people indulging in these kind of activities don't really have the guts to talk upfront, they are aware that there is no risk of people coming after them as the post is generic and is not pointed out to any specific individual. If one gets into deeper meaning behind this behavioral pattern. Relationship: Most of us have relationship issues but thanks to these social media utilities that we have forgotten to sit on a table and sort out differences, instead, people search for quotes on the internet, that resonates with their situation the most and put them on their statuses - targeting the individual (they have differences with). This is like a pleasure that doesn't last long.ģ. When these people share their thoughts on this utility and discover that they have been seen by the target audiences - the former gets a feeling of satisfaction that their word/opinion has been heard but what they forget is that this is like a monologue (with no counter arguement) made from the comforts of their homes. If the same person is asked to speak/debate in front of a crowd, they would generally be hesitant to the same as they would either lack guts or would avoid putting face to face arguements and dialogues to put their points forward. Lack of Ability to Change Things: When a person on a sub-conscious level foresees the reality that he/she cannot change things at their homes, offices, states and country, they share their feelings (which in real world - they can't) over their whatsapp status. This utility has become a wonderful medium for these kind of people to garner attention and distract them from own feeling of insecurity and lonliness.Ģ. Instant Gratification: The need for instant gratification stems from social needs like affiliation, social approval, lack of respect in family circle & mutual recognition. The reason behind this behavior are many. People now-a-days get offended or they would not consider you a good friend/wellwisher if you don't wish them on your status.Īnother aspect that has been observed is whatsapp users leverage this status utility of whatsapp to express their frustrations, mood - happiness/sadness/Anger, Political preferences/views in the form of posts or videos. In the current era, Birthday, Anniversary and Marriage wishes and even physical presence at these events are not considered enough - if the well wisher doesn't update his/her whatsapp status with the wishes accompanied by photographs/videos for 24 hours. In other words, this has completely changed the way we have been communicating with each other. While intention behind this was to introduce a fun element into the user's lives but in due course of time, it has changed the very fabric of human relationships and motivations. The whatsapp status feature was introduced to users on 24th february (coinciding with whatsapp's 8th birthday) that allows users to share photos/videos with their contacts on whatsapp. While it comes with a plethora of benefits, it also has its flaws that is directly or indirectly affecting the user's lives. Whatsapp as we all know is an internationally available cross platform, instant messaging and Voice over IP service application.
