So I didn’t like your picture today. Maybe I didn’t notice it among the hundreds of pictures, statements, and videos that float through my news feed. Why do we concern ourselves with who likes and doesn’t like our pictures and base that on whether or not we are friends. That’s just petty. Social media is not the friend meter or the definition of genuine friendship. It should not be used as the evaluation tools to measure the validity of one’s relationship with another. 
Now I have been blocked, un-followed, etc. because I lack the social media manners of liking something just because you post something. When have we allowed social media (Facebook or Instagram) to develop insecurities about who is loyal? Do I have to like every single picture to maintain my friendship status? Do I have to add a comment to become your best friend? Do I really have to give a damn? Are you friends with everyone who even dare to like your pictures?
Social media has destroyed relationships and the fun it was to genuinely get to build a friendship. Now your diary is Facebook’s Daytime TV Drama and when you are done with a friend the drama unfolds on Facebook. Listen, I don’t have time or need for friends who desire to dish it all on Facebook. Relationships that are valuable have communication and are held together by more than just a like button. The value of our friendship is not determined by my lack of likes or observation of your social media post.
I’m all about building meaningful relationships and not superficial ones based on social media hype. Of your 5,000 followers, which of these contacts represent meaningful
relationships and, by implication, true friendships? Which of these contacts, when all is said and done, really matters the most to you? My one like isn’t going to change how I value our friendship or you as a person. 
Do yourself a favor and stop allowing social media to be the determining factor or what friendship and commitment means. Take it from me…I don’t always like everything, because I don’t always see it. I pride myself in not being a social media junkie. Believe me i’m a great friend and the value isn’t in the strength of my pointer finger that pushes the like button, but in my actions to make me a great friend.
mOOd: Unplug! Likes don’t equal LIKE!
