Are You a Social Media butterfly? 10 Signs That Tell The Tale…!

The moment you become a mother, your friend circle waves a hearty goodbye and a kiss to you. Along with the baby come bouts of solitude that become a little too much to adjust to. So, ‘desperate-times, desperate-measures’ method of coping leads you to social media. From seeking help to providing it, moms connect with other moms online, which becomes a consuming activity in their life. Thus, from being a social butterfly, you metamorphose into a Social media butterfly!

Now there’s a difference between an avid social media user and a Social Media Butterfly.

Sharing here are some ‘signs and symptoms’ that tell you, you are definitely one!

1. Your friend list keeps growing phenomenally – 4oo/500/600 don’t seem huge numbers to you.
