Rec | AVOID SOCIAL MEDIA

😃

Was going through instagram stories for the first time in months. Nothing wrong with using social media in the right way or really however you want to. I just really don’t miss it when I avoid it and when I go back I like it less and less. PI feels like an exception- it’s a much purer form. Not trying to kiss ASS here, but it kinda just feels like old twitter which was a happy place in the timeline of social media…

I feel that social media (at least the big four or five) has become a place of friends. It’s basically become “how many people can I collect to watch my follower count go up”. It’s created a toxic environment that creates competition in all aspects of life. Which is unfortunately all too prominent

Not-so-social media

PI is different because you’re not trying to impress anyone or present a carefully crafted persona. You can be away from this site for days or weeks and come back when you’re in the mood. You won’t miss out on anything viral or some big news. That said, if you don’t need this in your life, go free!

Deleting instagram and tiktok and twitter and others

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 🧍‍♀️

Relationship with social media?? :)

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.
