I was trying to make my poi...Thanks for your input! I was trying to make my point too much without thinking realistically about what I was trying to say. I'm also occasionally inclined to make blanket statements, too.

...(btw, these are comments I made BEFORE her edits)<br /><br />huh. I had never actually thought of that before--super interesting. I like how you tied the two ideas together!!<br />Criticism/thoughts/ideas:<br />-you made several reasoning "brushstrokes"/blanket statements/generalizations that don't help your logic (specifically in the 2nd idea). Example: Some people get on social media to get inspiration and to stockpile ideas for their own creativity. Some people get on to connect with their friends. Others use social media to advertise and actually sell their products and services. Social media can often be a help to a person's individuality and creativity. Like money (1 Tim. 6:10: "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil"), it's a heart issue. I think that envy and self-depreciation and the whole human idealism is just a part of human nature: it has always been around. (btw, I appreciate that you said you think social media DOES take away how much we like ourselves, but not ENTIRELY)<br />Example: you said -- "First of all, we feel extra pressure to perfect our outer appearances." I would argue that that would/could/does happen in any circumstance. What's the saying? "Keeping up with the Joneses"? It is in our nature to envy anyone in our visual range/acquaintances (I can't think of the right way to say this...). I guess anyone that we come into contact with has the power to make us put ourselves down. But in today's world, our contact level is simply BROADENED. We know/see/hear more people in the world than ever before. You have to keep your factors separate and accounted for.<br />That was incoherent. I'm sorry. Hopefully you got the gist of that...<br />Also, I would suggest drawing out the conclusion a little more. I thought it was super interesting how you brought the two ideas together and I wish you had elaborated on that a little more. Don't preach, but your writing is so good and I love your ideas so much that I want more!!<br />So. I will definitely read your blog!! (when I have timeeeeeee...) Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!! I enjoyed reading it. I loved your writing. Your logic was good. Your content was unique. Your depth was good.<br />GOOD JOB ANDI!!!<br />~Naomi CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106722991755190983noreply@blogger.com
