Thumbs Up Is Not Enough: A Humble Request to Friends and Well-Wishers By Dr. Sunil S Rana In today’s hyperconnected world, where a WhatsApp forward travels faster than the blink of an eye, I often wonder: Why have people become so insensitive even to their own friends and relatives? We are quick to forward jokes, memes, and “Good Morning” images, expecting a flood of thumbs up and smiley emojis in return. But alas!

The Irony of WhatsApp Appreciation: Let me take a simple example.

A large section of people today does not simply think, they overthink. They read meanings where none exist, they weave stories from gestures and postures, and they take innocent silences as confirmations of their own self-created suspicions. The cycle often begins with one dangerous seed: “What if…” “What if he ignored me deliberately?” “What if she has hidden motives?” “I am sure they said this because they don’t like me…” And thus, perceptions turn into conclusions, and conclusions into relationships gone sour. The irony is that the person being doubted often has no idea of the storm brewing in the mind of the other.
