The Advent of social media has brought a digital way of socialisation amongst different races and countries of the world. Nowadays, people in Africa can from the comfort of their homes know what is going on in the Caribbean. With data, you can have a piece of any part of the world on your phone screen. You don't even need to fly your way to Europe to know what's going on there. This has made the world a global village with members belonging to it from different tribes and tongues. The world has now been made a very small place. 

 

Also, it has fostered communication amongst families apart. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, with data, you can easily communicate with a loved one who stays in another country. Distance is no longer a barrier. With video calls on WhatsApp, Skype, and other social media platforms, communication has been made very easy. All these features have had a positive impact on humans across the globe. Thus, social media can be said to be a paramount tool of globalisation in the world. 

 

However, with all the benefits that humans enjoy using the social media, one can ruin one's relationship with people if it is not used well. This brings us to the common mistakes people make on social media that ruin their relationships. It is true that social media has connected and improved human relationships the world over. Nevertheless, on the other hand, many relationships are being destroyed day by day because of the use of the same. How to use social media correctly, especially to avoid ruining your relationship with people, is an art that you must learn. If you have read up to this point, it shows that you don't want to ruin your relationship because of how you post or comment on post made by others. 

 

To cut the long story short, let's quickly look at these common mistakes people make on social media that are capable of destroying their relationship with people.

 

Never Post the achievement of your friends on social media before them or without their consent. This is very important when it comes to maintaining your relationship with people. Many young people are gulity of this. Your friend hits a contract, and out of excitement, you immediately break the news on Facebook when your friend in question is yet to do so. It is very wrong. Allow your friends to post their achievement or things that are personal to them first before you post yours. If they don't want it to be on social media, posting it on WhatsApp or IG can severe the relationship you have with them. A story was told about two friends. They were very good friends that many identify them to be from the same family. Let's say their names are Peter and John (to aid clarity). John's wife gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. Owing to the excitement that followed the break of the news, John quickly picked his phone and called Peter to inform him about the new born baby. On hearing the news, Peter abandoned what he was doing and made for the hospital. He was welcomed by happy faces and loud voices cheering John and congratulating the baby's mother. As soon as Peter got to see the newly born child, he pulled out his phone from his pocket and snapped the baby and immediately made a congratulatory post for John and his wife, with the baby's picture attached on the blue app (Facebook).

 

Since John was yet to come online to see what's going on, he was very happy as Peter shared in their joy. To cut the long story short, few hours after Peter left, John came online on Facebook only to find out that Peter had posted the photo of his newly born baby without his consent. Unknown to Peter, John and his wife had agreed to keep the delivery of their baby off social media. John immediately called Peter to complain about the congratulatory post. Peter on the other hand, since he was not married, interpreted the displeasure from John to mean he was jealous of their progress as couples. That was how their relationship was brought to a halt because of a social media post. Please, don't ever post anything relating to your friends on social media without their consent. It ruins relationship.

 

Commenting on every post carrying the picture of a beautiful lady or handsome man is one other thing people do that destroys relationship. For those in a love relationship, you must desist from commenting on every fine photo of the opposite sex. Commenting "wow! Wow!!" On every photo of the opposite sex can ruin your present relationship. You are not a siren that makes the sound "wow! Wow!!" Every time. Kindly avoid this if you have value for your relationship. We need not write an epistle on this point. It is very clear and understandable please. Self restrain is a very good character trait that every lover must have in this digital age. No partner will take you seriously when you are all over the place commenting, "you look beautiful, you look handsome" on every post. 

 

Lastly, when a friend offends you, don't vent your anger on a post on the blue app or green app. Stop expressing how bitter you are to your friends on your WhatsApp statuses or Facebook story. It is no news that intimacy reveals vulnerability. We all have our strength and weaknesses. However, only those we give access into our space can actually see us for who we are, with our weaknesses stripped naked. If you ever come to a point where you feel offended over what a friend has done to you, kindly discuss this privately with them. Refusing to talk to them about it and going ahead to write a "book of anger" on Facebook will further destroy your relationship with them. Stay away from making what is private public! Sadly, many are guilty of this. If anything goes wrong in your family, it is a family affair and you must keep it that way. Don't go to social media to rant about it. If you do, at the end of the day, the shame will be on you. 

 

Take note of these things and work on them. If you can post about your friends only when they agree, avoid running commentaries that stir emotions on every post of the opposite gender, and can confront your friends and loved ones over an offense instead of going to post it on social media, your relationship with people won't be ruined.

     

      This is my story in all its nakedness. It is the truth as much as I remember it. I tell you this because it’s been many years since it occurred and sometimes even I don’t believe that it happened. Yet, it did. All of the mystical, magical details are true. I either experienced them directly or witnessed them with my own eyes. They include things I never imagined were possible and are based upon the one true thing I know in my heart is always possible… LOVE

I saved Allison's contact on my phone and then proceeded to text her a 'hi' on WhatsApp.

I noticed Victor staring angrily at me,I went to meet him.

"Guy y u dey look me like dat na??. 

I asked smiling.

He hissed so loud and mouthed.

"babe wey I dey crush on, low key,fiiaaam u don go overtake me...u ehh!. He grieved pointing fingers at me.

I couldn't help but laugh out so loud,Allan too couldn't stop laughing and teasing him.

"Mumu man,u were not man enough na,leave Andy alone oo"....

Victor was so pained,he just stood up and walked out.

we were all laughing at his folly except Vicky,she was just quiet and cold all the while,so I went to sat beside her. 

"hey, Whatsup,u good?

   "erhm..yea,fine....am fine"...she stuttered and tried avoiding eye contact.

I tried forcing her to say what was bothering her but she won't give in,I stood up to leave when suddenly she held me back,dragged me gently to the changing room and stood facing me, directly staring into my eyes,she wasn't saying anything and i was becoming a bit uncomfortable.

"Andy I love you,I can't hide it anymore...I fucking love you!!!!...she confessed, holding my hands,she was in tears. My heart missed a bit,I was dumbfounded,i wasn't expecting this,I didn't know what to say but still managed to speak up.

 '...but you ha......

    'shhhhhh!...she shuts me out with a finger to my lips,grabbed me swiftly, stole a kiss and ran off leaving me numb and dumbfounded.it happened in a flash, confused,i started searching around as if I lost something.I couldn't think straight, I was lost,just then my phone started ringing,checked the caller and it was 'Allison'... WTF! 😳.
