A recent media survey of 1,335 respondents showed that 56.6% of the respondents were afraid or hesitant to call, and the younger they were, the more prominent this condition was. Feeling the long-term dependence on online social interaction, 68.0% of the respondents believe that their offline social skills have deteriorated.
It is not so much "degradation" as it is a "withdrawal reaction" - leaving the "comfort zone", the whole person becomes uncomfortable: without the blessing of buzzwords and emoticons, chatting is like Lost the soul: Even if the two parties are close at hand, they subconsciously choose "key to key". Even when the phone calls don't require eye contact, some people still can't hide their anxiety. In comparison, social media provides a sense of security. After all, even the sentence "Are you there" that may mean testing and gaming, at least gives room for maneuver and leaves enough reaction time.
The advantages of online social networking need no introduction, but its disadvantages are also obvious. The absence of non-verbal information such as eye changes and body movements in will sometimes bring "helplessness in communication"; if you are addicted to "impression management" with filters, you will inevitably miss the beauty around you; "lightweight social interaction" is becoming more and more popular. Generally speaking, although you can pull away at any time, one day you will sadly find that there is no one in the long list of friends who you can talk to. Whether it is personal life or career development, over-reliance on online social interaction is obviously not conducive to acquiring diverse cognitions, resolving various negative emotions, and coping with the complexity of reality.
To say that the younger generation is unwilling to socialize offline is probably only seeing part of the matter. On the one hand, the medium that young people choose to use to communicate also implies, to some extent, their recognition of the closeness and distance of a certain relationship. For example, ordinary netizens do not have to "rush to show up". Never mind. On the other hand, being social doesn’t necessarily mean being deeply social. For example, from "rice partners" and "fitness partners" to "postgraduate entrance exam partners" and "travel partners", this kind of "partner culture" with high flexibility and low expectations was once quite popular. Many of these social activities happen offline, and it is not difficult to get a glimpse of the ambivalence of some people: not only emphasizes "pleasing oneself" and a sense of boundaries, but also calls for understanding and a desire for intimate companionship.
From this perspective, offline social networking seems to be about more than just ability. As social psychologist Sherry Turkle said in "Group Loneliness", turns to technology in the hope of finding a way to keep us in some kind of interpersonal relationship and protect ourselves.. It is worth mentioning that in order to reconcile this contradiction, many people are eager to label themselves with a sense of distance - "social phobia", deriding themselves as "social degradation" in favor of "weak ties". This is certainly understandable, but it makes people feel a little regretful.
Where should the real me go? No matter how the times develop, the deep connection between people is always worth pursuing. Frankly speaking, in an era of deep mediaization, with people coming and going in a hurry, it is indeed not that easy to form warm and sticky interpersonal relationships. Although some timidity, temptation and even hitting a wall are inevitable in , the first step must be taken. Only by following the "heart" and gradually can we overcome the "degeneration of capabilities" . As scholar Hu Penghui emphasized, in a relationship, there is both positive and negative feedback, and it is particularly important to learn to deal with negative feedback in the relationship.
When we communicate with each other with our hearts, it will last forever. Understand yourself better and actively embrace real life. I believe that you will always get a sincere response and bring more confidence and courage.
