Metaversing as a confusing way of living

Metaversing is an instrument that we meet in our lives every day. We must admit that it’s really useful for many reasons: first of all, it gives you the choice to compare resources and to obtain something that isn’t immediately available to have. But we must see the other face of the problem. Like everything in the world, Metaversing could carry some problems, especially if it is not used properly.

Metaversing and the distortion of reality

How many times did we think about something that we want but we can’t have? Metaversing, in this sense, creates a sense of constant dissatisfaction. As we have the possibility to discover the world with just one “click,” we always compare our life with others’. This is a pivotal point: we have the chance to get our life better, watching good examples, but, on the other hand, not all the stereotypes are good to follow.

Moreover, the question to ask should be, “What we can see is the normality? Or are they too high standards?” and following, “How does it affect our mental health and our way of thinking?” It’s common to be sure that we’re just not lucky enough and satisfied about our life if what we see is “M is in Miami having a drink on his/her own boat.” What we can’t see is the fact that this “M” has his/her problems too. Nowadays people aren’t just used to sharing the bad part of their life too.

It's not just a fact of stereotypes and what we do have. It’s the impact that it has on our mind and psychological health. It affects our self-esteem, and if we’re living a difficult situation, we feel alone more and more, as no one shares the “less funny” part of his/her own life.

Metaversing is a really good discovery, but we should be careful about its use.
