My Social Media Lifestyle.

I currently have several social media accounts such as WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Messenger, Viber. These social media accounts are primarily used to exchange information. Let's study more about my social media usage through the following points.

Content Creation

                 I am most active on my WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok accounts. WhatsApp is mostly used for messaging and most of the content is created on TikTok and Facebook accounts. I also like and comment on various content of my Facebook friends. In addition, I am more interested in sharing funny content through Facebook. Also sometimes I share poems and motivations with deep meaning and the videos that I recorded and edited myself are published on my Tik Tok account. Different types of things are added to these videos without being confined to one chosen theme. Also, I repost various content that I like through this.

• Engagement

                 I am interested in responding to and sharing my favorite content (motivations, poems) posted on my most active social media accounts, as well as providing substitute answers to various problems of people I know or don't know in the various groups I am involved with.

• Networking

              Social media is a tool for expanding social networks. Here people connect and build networks for various purposes. I have been a part of several networks which have been set up to fulfill my educational needs (to get new updated information, photos, etc.).I am also involved in networks that contain movies, tv series and comedy content built to share entertainment.

• Trends & Influence

               Our daily lifestyle is often associated with fashion, habits, memes, etc. Accordingly, I like to try different habits and fashions that appear on the social media that I use. Also tries to experiment practically according to the trend.

For example, these days I often participate in the lunch buffet at Nittambuwa Pharo Hotel, which is reviewed by various content creators on YouTube and TikTok media.

 Also, through Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Tik Tok, Hasini Manamendra, a resident of Japan, is willing to try out the country's different food habits, cuisines and food styles.(Her content is best known as Ayan Putha's Bento Box)

 Also, I pay more attention to the latest fashion clothes, sandals, etc. that appear on Facebook's Market Place and TikTok and Instagram pages. As a result, I make online purchases at least twice a month.

• Time Spent

                 I usually use at least four hours of my day maintain my social media. There are times when the time spent in this way varies depending on other work. Mostly I am used to using social media to pass the time.

• Privacy & Boundaries

             I try to protect my privacy in my social media account and take the minimum to face various issues. Accordingly, most of my social media friends are people I know physically, or at least friends of people I know physically. Also, I do not accept invitations and messages from unknown people and groups.
