Expectations from Online Friends

 

Think like, “Don’t expect a lot from people – you’ll gonna get frustrated.” Yeah, right? Just do whatever you need to do. Treat people the kind of treatment they want to receive. Even if you fall short of their expectation – at least, don’t hurt their feelings. Don’t expect either that if you do nice things to other people, you’ll get a bonus. That’s not how it works.

Well, until you get a surprise!

TADA!

So, I was so surprised receiving this Burgundy colored tote. Yeah, love the color. I didn’t know that this color can fit as many other colors in my wardrobe. Nice pick sis!

I never met her personally, yet, those short chats on Facebook, few business dealing along the way – friendship grows! How lovely the social networking sites can do.

I even told her, I can manage without material gifts – just the booming friendship is a precious gift in itself.

So, I have been asking myself? What did I do to her? Nothing. As I said, I can offer nothing at this time. Only genuine friendship. Because even at this day and age, when the norm is having as many thousand friends on social media sites, it can never be a gauge to know who are your real friends.

I am just so lucky finding friends online. While there are few who, instead of making social media as an avenue to make more friends, they make enemies. Why this happens?

Because some people allowed themselves to get too emotional on say Facebook. Some people get to be too attached on what they share and what they see on the social media.

We can never please anybody. What one must do? Since Facebook has filter menu, let’s to filter our thoughts too. Don’t let the whole world know even the minutest of your thoughts. Reserve something for yourself. This is what I call respecting oneself. How can we expect others to respect us when we ourselves can’t spare a simple form of decency and respect in us?

And, when in fact,  some of our friends online are doing exactly the things we hate to doing – BE COOL. It’s their thoughts/acts. Again, let’s show respect. Can it do us harm if we opted to take a mum on what we hear or see?

Take this, most people in the online world only shows what they think is best of them- the rest is, we filtered. That only shows, people online aren’t what they really are. It’s only the good stuff we see. If they show the good stuff, would they be happy hearing the bad stuff about themselves? No.

So, respect. We can’t be happy with the thoughts of others. Think the other way around too.

Respect. If you want to receive the same thing. Be cool in profiling yourself especially online. Oh! I do not mean sugarcoating yourself. Just be true to yourself. Post/share whatever seems positive and something that can give inspiration to others. Those bad stuff – it can only effect bad mood all around social media – so better leave it all those to your “REAL” friends – those real people around you. Better yet, get out of social media if you’re too fuzzed about certain matters. Go check your family or friends – they’re your friends too.

We can easily find friends online – but as in any other social networking platforms do – we filter!

TOTE BAG PURCHASED ONLINE

BTW, this tote bag is purchased by my blogger friend at Lazada. See how easily one can find a gift for anyone these days, yeah? She ordered this from Dubai, perhaps paid using her Paypal money or other payment system, then wrote my billing address.

Sending gifts for your loved ones is easier nowadays, can’t it?
