揭祕：使用社交媒體的七種壞習慣

社交媒體儼然已成爲現代人與親友、同事之間互動的重要平臺。但人們使用社交媒體的一些壞習慣，卻會讓你的人際關係受到影響。看看下面這些使用社交媒體的壞習慣，你也中招了嗎？

一頭栽進手機，不理別人

When a friend or loved one wants to show you something on television or play you a track, they probably mean for you to engage in the experience rather than focus on your phone or tablet.
當你的朋友或愛人想讓你看電視上的一些東西或是想爲你播放一段樂曲時，他們可能有意要你參與體驗，而不是專注於自己的手機和平板電腦。

It's distracting and a little upsetting for them to then find you flicking through your feeds or inbox rather than giving your full attention.
當發現你還在瀏覽網頁聚合內容或郵箱而沒有給予他們充分的關注時，會令他們感到些許的煩亂和沮喪。

If you're not that interested or want to watch or do something else, say so. Do one thing properly, not two things half-heartedly.
如果你沒那麼感興趣，想看別的或者做別的事，那麼就明白地說出來。專注於一件事，而不要一心二用，敷衍了事。

在社交媒體分享“戀愛三個半月紀念日”

Social media has bred this false belief that all your 'friends' and followers care about every moment in your life. What we used to just communicate to a select few now gets broadcast to hundreds.
社交媒體滋生了一種錯誤的信念：你所有的朋友和粉絲都關心着你生活中的每一刻。過去我們只和部分人分享的內容現在可爲成百上千的人所見。

That it's 67 days until your wedding or your three-and-a-half-month anniversary of relationship bliss is not an update that anyone cares about. Even your partner may struggle to muster enthusiasm for such a menial milestone.
但並不是所有人都關心你諸如“婚禮後的第67天”和“戀愛三個半月紀念日”此類的更新。即便是你的伴侶對這種微不足道的“重要事件”可能也難以激起熱情。

Less is very much more when it comes to sharing such matters.
當分享這類事情時，量少反而更好。

發“厚臉皮的工作貼”

Listen, we've connected with you on Facebook because we like you as a person and are keenly interested in you socially. QED: we are your friends, not your clients.
聽着，我們在臉譜網上和你相互關注是因爲喜歡你這個人並很有興趣與你交往。也就是說：我們是你的朋友而非客戶。

Using your social page to promote a new scheme is shameless and unwanted.
在你的社交頁面上宣傳你的計劃是厚臉皮、不受待見的。

Fine - post one missive inviting your friends to like your business page, but do not blur the boundaries and use your friends to shift your gear using your personal account.
發一個貼子邀請你的朋友爲你的工作頁面點贊是可以的，但一定要界限分明，不要用你的個人賬號利用朋友來讓自己的工作得益。

曬美食擺拍

Years ago, people said grace before they ate. Today, they take photos of their food.
多年前，人們飯前禱告。今天，他們爲食物拍照。

Then they have a discussion as to which filter best sets off the scones, and then they wonder why the scones have gone tepid.
他們討論用什麼濾鏡才能更好地展現烤餅，然後他們奇怪爲什麼烤餅已經涼了。

Just eat them.
吃掉就好。

在社交媒體“秀肌肉”，發健身照

I'm no fitness expert, but surely you should be using all your energy in the gym to actually workout, rather than use it to share with us the size of your muscles, or lack of hips, as an Instagram story?
雖然我不是健身專家，但我確定在健身房時你應該把所有的精力用於鍛鍊，而不是在Instagram跟我們秀肌肉，或不夠挺翹的臀部。

Think how buff you could be if you used the time and energy to lift that 24kg weight rather than stage a photoshoot of it.
試想如果你把全部的時間和精力都用來舉24公斤的槓鈴而不是爲槓鈴拍照，你的身材將會變得多棒。

It still counts as going to the gym even if no one else knows about it but you.
即便除了你之外無人知曉，你去健身房的努力也不會白費。

添加不認識的“朋友”

Older generations, who came late to the Facebook party, do have a tendency to add people they know of, but have never actually met.
老一輩人作爲臉譜網的後來者，傾向於將他們知道但沒有在生活中碰到過的人加爲好友。

Younger generations, who grew up thinking that a friend request from someone was a big deal, can find this a tad alarming; borderline intrusive.
長成的年輕一代卻認爲收到他人的好友請求是件大事，會產生一絲警覺性，因爲隱私可能會被侵犯。

All generations need to get some perspective, but a good rule of thumb is to never add anyone you haven't met in real life.
所有年代的人都需要做出正確的選擇，一條好的經驗法則是絕不將現實生活中沒遇見過的人加爲好友。

曬對鏡自拍照

Nothing silently shrieks loneliness more than posting a photo of you taken with a phone in your mirror.
沒有什麼比發一張你對着鏡子自拍的照片更能默默地體現出你的孤獨。

I do pity you, but resist sharing it. Ask a friend (you must have at least one) to take a photo of you rather than DIY.
我很同情你，但我不願意和你分擔。請你的朋友（你肯定至少有一個朋友）爲你拍照而不要自己動手。
