Sekarang ini, zaman di mana semua orang menggunakan media sosial seperti Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram dan lain-lain.
Kita juga menyaksikan zaman di mana ‘keyboard warrior’ dan ‘makcik bawang’ merupakan satu pekerjaan kedua sesetengah pihak di mana mereka diberikan ‘tanggungjawab’ untuk menjatuhkan seseorang menggunakan sosial media.
Antara mangsa-mangsa golongan ini tentunya para ‘public figure’ di Malaysia. Berikutan itu, penyanyi, Aisyah Aziz mengambil keputusan untuk ‘berehat’ seketika daripada dunia media sosial.
Dia mengumumkan perkara tersebut menerusi laman Instagram miliknya.
“Sis is back and sis has decided to take a break from social media for awhile — social media hiatus. (Ceh).
“Albeit I’ll still be writing captions and posting pictures/reviews on my page, I won’t be handling the account.
“To all of sis friend, I’m on WhatsApp so you can find me there. And to all, ya’ll that can’t contact me via WhatsApp.
“For any job queries or anything at all really, we can still keep in touch via email at aisyahaziz@outlook.com (old skool, sis knows) but its refreshing, I guess. And I’ll try to reply to you guys there as often as I can,” tulisnya.
Aisyah sempat juga menjelaskan sebab dia mengambil keputusan tersebut.
“Just need to get my mind straight and my priorities right before I dive back into this virtual world.
“Social media has had a very negative impact on my being and I hope with me being away from it for awhile, I get to spend this time learning to live and love myself without having to prove myself to anyone.
“Like actually have a good time with my friends and not feel like I need to record the whole process and put it up online so people can see what I’m doing and how much fun I’m having when in actual fact you just smiling and dancing for the camera and after 15 secs you’re back on your phones again.
“I want to practice having actual conversations and discussions with the people present instead of physically being with them but talking to someone else online (#theanxietyisreal),” tulisnya lagi.
Tambahnya lagi, dia tidak mahu membiarkan toksik ‘dunia media sosial’ terus menggangu hidupnya.
“And of course, the likes and comments. It messes with you man. You see someone else having 30k over likes and you start questioning ur abilities, when deep down you know they’re just numbers. zeros and ones.
“It highlights the best of the best physical feats, the balling rockstar lifestyles, the funniest jokes. When in actual fact a vast majority of us are average people.
“And this need to be exceptional, more extreme or self-assured — so that we get noticed or so that we even matter to people — has taken a toll on me. No doubt the Internet has made it possible to easily attain information but it has also open-sourced insecurities and self-doubt. So sis is staying away.
“Live your life the way you want to live it. #esahstillsings,” tulisnya.
MH menghormati keputusan Aisyah itu, moga-moga dia berjumpa ketenangan yang dicarinya.
