Human behaviors over the centuries have adapted to their environment and society accordingly. Today in the 21st century, life is tough, and communities expect way more from you than they expected a few hundred years ago. Naturally, you are drawn toward a few seemingly easy but destructive actions to escape the robotic life.
So, I have prepared a list of scary things destroying you emotionally and physically with time. Of course, this does not apply to everyone but is a lesson.
Loneliness
When I was in 9th grade, I used to write on my wooden desk. I was not cheating on my tests; I just wanted to scratch that wood. I did that, and I liked it.
Sometimes I was so busy in the act that I didn’t notice my teacher, who stood near me, observing. Also, I was good at my studies but never paid attention to my surroundings: I was always so focused on the present actions that often, my surroundings would disappear before me.
Was it a good thing or a bad thing? You must think about what this has to do with the topic.
Well, behaviour like that is terrible for your mental health and society and ends in a lack of communication.
On another note, being alone increases your stress levels, leading to drug use and other mental weaknesses.
Finally, you are away from people, making your own world in your mind and staying away from the real world. You do not have any friends or family close to you. You must know this; lack of communication destroys your present and is one of the most scary things that can happen to you.

Social Media
Where does a man of the 21st century spend most of his time if somebody asks you? What would your answer be?
Well, let me give you the answer to that. It is social media. It was made to bring people of the same interests closer and share their stories.
Now when you spend way too much time here, grooming your virtual image and showing them your superior self – It is not benefiting you in any way.
Furthermore, you are only trying to impress yourself and wasting precious time. It is a hard truth that more than 98% of humans tend to think only for themselves. Hence they are not really paying attention to you.
