غَالِبًا السوشال ميديا تِعْرِض أَشْيَاء مْفَلْتَرَة مِن الحَيَاة, لأنو الناس يشَارْكُوا الأَحْدَاث المُهِمَّة بَس.
وهَذا الشِي يِعْكِس صُورَة مِثَالِيَّة لحَيَاة بَعْض النَاس اللي هي عَكْس الصُورَة الحَقِيقِيَة.
بَس كَمَان هَذا الشَي يِسَبِّب ضَغْط عَالِي على هَذُول الأَشْخَاص لأنو لازم يِظْهَرُوا دَائِمًا بِصُورَة مِثَالِيَّة.
بِالمُقَابِل, الأَشْخَاص الآخَرِين يقَارْنُوا حَيَاتْهُم مَع حَيَاة هَذُول الأَشْخَاص. 
بَس لِلْأَسَف هذه المُقَارَنِة ممكن تْأَدِّي للشُعُور بِالإِكْتِئَاب.
لازم نِتْذَكَّر دَائِمًا إِنُّو الأشياء اللي قَاعْدِين نْشُوفْهَا على السوشال ميديا ما بِتْكُون الصُورَة الكَامْلِة, وكُل إِنْسَان عِنْدُه مَشَاكِل بِالحَيَاة والحَيَاة المَثَالِيَّة مَا مَوجُودِة!

Mostly social media shows filtered things from life, because people share only the important events.
And this reflects a perfect image of the life of some people which is the opposite of the real image.
But also this thing causes high pressure on these people because they always have to appear in a perfect image.
In contrast, the other people who compare their life with the life of those people.
But unfortunately, this comparison can lead to the feeling of depression.
We should always remember that the things that we are seeing on social media are not the full picture, and every human has problems in life, and the perfect life does not exist.

Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Ini adalah podcast pertama saya di Italki. Saya lumayan gugup atau “deg-degan”. Kalian tahu arti kata “deg-degan”? Di Bahasa Jepang artinya “どきどき、緊張する”、di Bahasa Inggris artinya “nervous”. 
Saya pikir kalian juga pernah merasa gugup atau deg-degan waktu berbicara di depan orang banyak. Kalau kalian deg-degan, biasanya kalian melakukan apa? Hmm.. kalau saya, bolak-balik ke toilet ^^;  “Bolak-balik” ini juga ekspresi ya, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “行ったり来たり” , di Bahasa Inggris artinya “back and forth”.
Ok, Hari ini sampai di sini ya! Sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya! Semoga hari ini kalian tidak deg-degan melakukan sesuatu ya ^^

Akhir minggu
