Social Media Isn’t the Problem. We Are.

The hatred and taboo beliefs expressed on social media contain truths that people are reluctant to acknowledge. Daily life requires constant self-control, where individuals suppress true feelings and reactions to maintain social harmony. This societal price of admission involves enduring rudeness and frustration to avoid conflict.

• Social media reveals truths about hatred, taboo beliefs, and raw emotions that people are unwilling to admit.
• Individuals practice daily self-control, forcing smiles and staying silent in the face of difficult situations.
• The need to ‘go along to get along’ is a learned behavior for societal admission.
• Suppressing true feelings is necessary to avoid losing friends, jobs, or experiencing negative consequences.
