A few days ago, Vice Indonesia conducted a survey on their twitter account page [@VICE_ID](https://twitter.com/VICE_ID). Most millennials also enliven the ‘youth style’ tweet.

One by one the replies of the millennial child appeared to the public.

Millennials reply with a joke style, some reply by even turning back at themselves, some reply with confidence, all the reasons what they love about themselves. However, mostly due to physical factors.

And, worse than the many replies, quite a few returned their ignorance of their self-love, in a cynical tone, they tweeted:

I’m confused as to what to answer? | Do I really love myself? | I love me, because I’m just the back of the family.

So, why of the many millennials who reply, most of them do not know what to answer? They don’t know their advantages? They’re not sure about themselves?

SOCIAL MEDIA

Is social media a vital factor in getting to know millennials? What happens if they live without the digital age and never touch social media?

Social media is often the main motive for the causes of young people easily depressed. Why do millennials delay more often? Lazy to do the job? and more often fall while scrolling the homepage on their social media?

Some time ago also from the facebook party that also embraced Instagram frankly admitted, that teenage children, especially women more often compare themselves with influencer artists in the virtual world.

most social media users are under the age of 22 years.

TOO IGNORED

Why do they become too unconcerned just asking about their abilities?

For what is made complicated. Life is just in harmony with reality.

They live more with what is in the world than they are more willing to create something.

These millennials, whose models will be like people who prefer to spend their income in cafes, just hanging out with friends, are engrossed in wasting money just to love their hearts.

No wonder you’re asked what do you love about yourself? They’re all confused. Because he lives the will of the outside world, not the will of themselves. They don’t have time to create space for themselves to take over.

So, why is it important to know our abilities, as well as our strengths?

If there is such a question that arises again in our face, we know what to answer. Instead of questioning ourselves.

Is it enough just sitting back, sitting in front of an electronic-based screen, that can make us know better what we want to do in this world?

What is our response when we see the news here and there quickly and easily on the screen of our smartphone? Do we just be silent, and just nod our heads, acting as if we don’t have to bother in the real form of handling.

It’s enough to sing on the sofa with a device, while scrolling. It’s time to figure out our potential by digging deeper into ourselves by reflecting on ourselves. Ask the question:

What do you want to achieve in this world?

Is popularity?

Have a lot of money?

Getting successful in young-married couple goals?

There are many options in the way of achieving our achievements. Stop consuming compulsive news.

Don’t even question that question again to ourselves. It causes our sense of self-distrust to grow even more.

Let’s ask back what makes your value rise?

Build your muscle?

Become an expert in a field?

Chasing the best grades in school?

If so, millennials/gen-z should blame whom? Should we blame? Don’t we question that to ourselves?
