Is Information Overload Affecting You?

In this era of networking, experiencing unwanted pressure of sharing content or making yourself following the same path is being encountered by most of the internet users.

We come across such a great extent of content, either it be memes, stories, life facts or hacks, relationship issues or life goals. We take in so much content that we even don't need or have nothing to do with it, just gulping them as a matter of general knowledge. Now when we have such a huge collection of information, we tend to relate our slightest change in behaviour to the process or narratives of lives of people undergoing massive changes like breakup, loneliness, depression,etc. This exaggeration of thoughts or say streamlining them to a particular way just increases the pressure of our social life.

We tend to relate ourselves with them; we go on to say 10/10 me without even giving a thought on the context and depth of the content.

Now it may seem what is so big about this issue. The greatest issue is the change in psychological understanding of the world and human behaviour. When we get a story that is emotional, it somehow makes an impact in your mind because of active neurons and their interaction with the secreted hormones. Now the content you took in has the probability of 9/10 that you haven't experienced it for most of the cases. But now when your subconscious has received an information, that becomes the base for a new paradigm in your mind and soul. Repetitive intake of same topic related contents create basic plots for such unique experiences.

Now when in practical life you encounter or undergo such situation, inspite of acting the way that belongs to you or your natural or unexplored behaviour that comes whenever we come across a new condition or situation, your mind will start making you act or behave according to the basic data that had been fed in your mind before. Now it might seem a microscopic fact.

The human brain keeps learning every second either you are aware of it or not . It keeps on recording observations and stacking and piling them in different streams so as to make itself more reliable to the individual. Now in this continuous pictures of learning whenever you encounter a situation that is entirely new for you, brain starts searching different answers that would suit it or relate to it. Since no observations fit solidly to your situation as it is completely new, the brain has to work hard now. It goes on to mix different combinations of observations that would bring up a new idea that is all yours and unique and that makes a special quality of yours and is entirely 100% yours. This is what makes an individual special and stand out from the crowd. Taking in unwanted content is just sucking the uniqueness out of you and this what that needs to be minimized to preserve the individual's identity.
