Social media - so much intolerance

Right now the place of social media has become much more annoying, disturbing, distracting, frustrating, and, most importantly, disappointing. People find ways to get more depressed through social media than finding a way to connect with people and finding it a place of happiness and delightfulness.

Everybody looks like they are trying to cut the throat of another random person on social media for no specific reason. The whole atmosphere of social media has become so toxic that you have already started hating it.

However, situations have changed; people nowadays find various things disgusting on social media. Most of these things will make them quit the platforms in the first place. Moreover, if you do not quit social media, you will at least find plenty of reasons to hate it.

Locking your profile

That one moment, you want to hate social media because you cannot go through your crush’s profile. “No privacy policy” is one of the reasons why social media has been there in the first place. Now it looks like there is - no privacy - factor, most importantly causing the most trouble.

People want to lock their profiles and hide their photos and updates. Unfortunately, when you try to stalk your crush, you will find their Instagram private. Now that’s one of the most irritating things for you.

Now, that might make you feel frustrated and angry. You went on to check the Facebook profile of your crush and saw that they had kept it locked. Now that is something you might find annoying and frustrating too.

You cannot go up to your crush and ask them to open their profile, nor can you send them a friend request because you feel scared and awkward to send them any request, as you do not want to look desperate.

Moreover, a locked profile is not giving you any idea whether they are interested in talking to you or will it be a foolish decision to send them a friend request!

Or maybe you already have a partner, but due to your fatal attraction toward this particular person, you find it discomfort to send them any friend request.

The most important factor is when you find your crush completely inaccessible and find it not only frustrating but completely annoying. No wonder you start to hate social media.

When your tweets fail to be sent on time

The second most frustrating factor about social media is when you try to send a tweet, but it "could not be sent at this time.”

You find it frustrating because you want to send a piece of important information and share it with your followers, and all you are getting is to retry and retry.

Now you don’t know, but you are getting angry and annoyed that the microblogging platform is not helping. You are trying to tweet about a matter of utmost importance, and the site is not helping you.

It’s very urgent for you, and you are interested to know the responses of your followers, and the social media site is finding ways to make you hate it.

Where did the notifications go?

The third most annoying factor is when you find that a notification has turned up in your locked phone, but, the moment you unlock it, the notification vanishes.

Nothing can be more frustrating than when your Twitter notifications buzz on your cell phone, and you are on the way, trying to check through it, and they disappear immediately. Now, you are confused and lost.

It was there, and now it is completely gone! Nothing can be more annoying than finding your notification vanished from your screen without giving you the prior timing to even go through it or get a glimpse.

The worst part is that the notifications would vanish so fast that you won’t even understand what happened and why these notifications are there in the first place.

You went and checked through your phone settings, and you know your notification for all your social media applications are kept on; yet whenever the prime time comes, it vanishes out of nowhere.

You are so annoyed with social media that you want to quit it. If notifications do not turn up on time, and you do not get to know when your post has received comments, then it is something that might make you hate social media.

What is wrong with the upload?

Sometimes you want to email the CEO of Instagram and complain about their typical glitches.

You have taken some amazing selfies and want to put them on Instagram, but the glitches make you hate the application.

You tried to upload your series of images, and all your Insta account is showing - failed to upload. Now, that is so annoying that you are no longer interested in using social media.

Your selfie is important and needs to hit the interwebs, and you want your crush to know that you and your partner are doing amazing together. But all you are getting is — refresh, refresh, and refresh.

It can be annoying, keeping the fact that you want to show off something and the application is in no mood to give you the hits you want right now.

Now that’s so embarrassing

Now, you are desperate to see what your crush is uploading, and you have been able to send enough signals through Facebook so that she opens her Instagram account, and you get to see her photos.

You are so excited that you follow her, knowing that if your partner comes to know, she might leave you. But what can you say? You like to keep a tab on this particular person!

You are excited and scrolling through her feed when you accidentally like an Insta photo she uploaded two years back.

Now that’s a mistake you don’t want to make intentionally, keeping the fact that your crush is unaware that you have a fatal attraction towards her.

But then again, social media is so annoying that sometimes, it allows you to like an Instagram post by double tapping it. Unfortunately, you have accidentally double-tapped it, and the last thing you know is to bang the phone on your forehead.

These accidental glitchy likes and hearts can also be one of your primary reasons to hate social media. You want to stay connected and not look desperate in front of her.

Someone wants to break the connection

There was a time when you two were very close friends; somehow, this person broke all contact with you over social media.

Now you want to connect them, and you can't do that; why? Thanks to social media's various features, you cannot directly message a person who does not follow you.

Now things get stupid when they don't follow you, and you want to DM them on Twitter and reach out to them. It is shocking to realize they have unfollowed you without prior knowledge.

The worst part is when you were confident that they followed you at one point in the social media applications. Unfortunately, you do not want to lose connection with this person, but there is no hope left.

But then again, you hate that you are not notified that you are getting unfollowed by your friend, whom you thought had been following you all this long.

Many people find it very frustrating not to get notified when someone is unfollowing, which may lead to hating one of these pathetic social media features.

You might not have been texting this person if the application had notified you earlier that they had unfollowed you.

Who told it to auto-refresh?

Your crush has updated a new photo, and you want to see the picture. But you don’t want to watch the picture by visiting your crush’s profile, but Facebook is so annoying that it auto-refreshes the photo right when you are about to take a close look at it.

Things get terrifically annoying then, especially last time when you were in the middle of reading one of her notable quotes and trying to figure out what’s going on in her life, and Facebook auto-refreshed.

That quote might not even exist in your feed now, and last time, you had to visit her profile to get a hold of that quote.

However, this time you do not want to look desperate; Facebook doesn’t learn to stop auto-refreshing every fifteen minutes. Moreover, you are already annoyed with the feature for creating so much trouble for you.

Now, this one feature makes you hate social media more than hating the fact that you and your crush don't even have a distant future.

It just doesn’t stop playing

The last video won't stop playing even when you scroll through the feed. It goes on a loop, and you are just annoyed as you get confused with the auto-playing of the video and the meme you want to read.

Most importantly, you know that you have disabled auto-play through settings, but then again, features are features.

They might not be in the mood to listen to you; you hate this application now and have already started hating social media.

You might not even be interested in watching the video, and it keeps on playing, and you are trying harder to pause, close, and at least get rid of it.

This one annoying video can easily make you hate social media so much that you might even want to quit it in the first place.

You are interested in watching the video, and it is going on a loop, and you have forgotten what page you have liked and followed that is sending you these recommendations.

So, as a whole, you are frustrated with the whole scenario, and if given a choice, you might want to file a complaint against the whole social media clan.
