I do not agree with Susan Greenfield’s position in  The Something About Social Networking  on how social media is leading to an impact of the sense of a true self, by how people feeling more lonely and not as connected to the world while online using a form of social media. Greenfield states that “people who report feeling lonely also apparently are most strongly emotionally attached to Facebook,” (101). Basically, Greenfield is warning that lonely people are more likely to be connected to social media than other people and become emotionally attached to it.   Greenfield complicates matters further when she writes, “avoidant individuals are more likely to be socially isolated and to attempt to shut down their emotional needs in relation to others,”(102). This means that people who are more avoidant to others are increasing the chance of themselves shutting down from the rest of the world and disclosing relationships with others in the real world. I disagree with this for the sense of that some people are not closing themselves off from the world, but actually connecting to others even more. I agree more with the concept of what Katelyn Mckenna is saying in Social Networking and Identity. She states “ Using the internet as a social substitute involves establishing new relationships with strangers and having internet- only friends. Such people are more likely to develop a compulsive passion for their Internet activities,” (114). Here she explains the concept of social media helping to create more relationships with people, which are not isolating a person to loneliness.
