Whats everyone’s relationships with social media right now? I just started an internship and am really loving to learn how to cook and read. I honestly think I’m closer than ever to being able to just delete instagram. It’s the only social media I have left. I love this app because it has character and whimsy that reminds me of 2000s era internet where profit wasn’t the motive of everything on the internet but rather just sharing experiences.

It’s allowed me to reconnect with a lot of parts of myself that I’ve turned away from in pursuit of practicality, and it’s nice to feel seen and appreciated! Instagram/Tiktok/Twitter/obviously Facebook give me the ick; I haven’t been a regular user of any public social media site since about 2019 when I stopped using Tumblr, which was my main outlet before. I have a lot of fun connecting with people and seeing the things that are important to them :~)

Honestly deleting social media (especially instagram) has widen my capacity for new Real world things in so many ways. Being more creative, having more original ideas, honestly just more time To think!!! I think the first month was an adjustment because it was like a dopamine cleanse, lots of overthinking and feelings of intense boredom
A lot of the things projected onto me I realized were not even insecurities of my own but harbored in my brain because of tiktok/instagram
I did worry about having FOMO and not seeing what my friends were up to but I can also just text them and ask ??? I feel like instagram especially is a very PASSIVE and superficial way of connecting with people. I definitely feel like my social circle decreased exponentially without it but for the better 🧍♀️

Curious, social media is just a bunch of useless content. Is anyone trying to get away? I’m taking the hid the app approach. For now.
