Healthy Connections In A Hyper-Connected World

I've spent most of my years in the online world while keeping good flow of my offline, I still remember the first time I got my first online account and the little knowledge I had about what I was getting myself into. It was exciting and promising to give unlimited new knowledge.

The online world is a forum for another form of connection and building relationships. Like I read in a post about two hours ago, relationship is a currency that will help whoever is keeping it and in a healthy way. Just as in the offline world, we also have to maintain good relationships online.

If there is something I do very well, is trying my best to keep good relationships online. It is where I spend most of my time on so keeping it in a state that would affect my mental and emotional health positively is a priority for me. In the course of doing that, I've learned a lot more.

Building healthy relationships in an online that is filled with different things, both expected and unexpected, it is important to be self aware that these things are happening and we'd be able to take precautions to not fall into the wrong relationships or gain only the negative sides of it.

Privacy is invaded: I'd say anyone who have decided to stay connected to the online is bound to have people prying into their real life but there should be the boundary set to this curiousity. We should decide just how much we want people in the online world to know about our real selves.

And while doing that, keeping our relationships online authentic, honest and slow should be paramount. There's no use rushing through a connection we are trying to build, it makes some important details skip through and we end up getting hurt if we fall in the wrong hands online.

Choose platforms wisely: You can't be in a dating site and except to grow a connection there that would help you grow your finances or find you a job. It's not impossible but there are platforms for that and distinguishing them, setting your profiles right to fit in is you choosing platforms wisely.

Watch out of red flags: The online world is a very busy one and so we tend to miss some signs showing us that we are not in the right place or there are cautions you need to take while you work in your different sides of the online world. Watch out for fakes and boundary disrespecters.

Take advantage of the strenth: The strength of online connection is seen when you build real ones amidst all the red flags, and invaded privacy, in the right platforms. What's left to do is maintain that connection in a healthy manner as they always come in handy when we are faced with difficulties in anyway. I can't count the number of times that my built connections online have saved me out of difficult issues I faced.
