Is Social Network Killing Our Ability To Mingle In The 'real' World? by Eden007(m): 3:33pm On Aug 10, 2014
You have 500 friends on Facebook, 350bbm contacts..etc. How many do you get to mingle with in the real world? How many friends have you made outside social network that have turned out to be very close friends?
These days we realise people are so glued to their electronic gadgets that they miss the opportunity to make cool friends in the real world.
If you are guilty of a situation were your phone, laptop or tab is taken away from you, you become very lonely and isolated like you are in the world of your own you need to do the following and more:
1. Be open minded to people around you.
2. Smile when someone approaches you.
3. Stop chatting in a public place, look around and say hello to someone.
N/B: I'm not trying to act as one guru or something, you can do what works for you. It's not bad to make friends online, I am more concerned about how it affects your ability to make friends in the real world. CHEERS!

So all those drama that occurs at work,traffic,church,market etc is not enough to stay in your house and gain more from cnn or aljazeraa or even E! ,keep looking for people that will hate on you at the end of the day.

You are right Bro. It's good to stay out of trouble but you can still encounter trouble even if you stay indoors all your life. Making Real friends is cool mehn. If you are guilty, make amends..cheers!

The difference is that You don't see those friends around you when your electronic gadget is taken away from you. Also, you are at a risk of meeting fake people. Don't take it wrongly, meeting friends online is very cool. I do that a lot too. The emphasis here is that you shouldn't let it affect your ability to make cool real friends in the 'Real world'. Don't be too rigid on people that approach you, be nice and friendly. Try this from today, and see how things will turn out in your life.
Have it at the back of your mind that it doesn't hurt to say hello to somebody around you and make a polite complement.

Your case is different since you don't have an issue making friends in the real world. At the same time I suspect you get too engrossed in your gadget that you miss an opportunity to say hello to that person who would've made a positive influence in your life..
