I ve been against social media since i was young but not because i had a certain awerness about it s effects. Ut s just that i never understood why people felt the need to post things to "let their friends know how they re doing". Couldn t they just text them?
Even with this confusion i still spent a looong time on social media, but without posting anything. I felt i had to, because all my friends kept refrencing things i didn t understand and i felt stupid. But after years following that mindset i decided it s better to not understand certain trends than to have my mind clouded by short form content. And i m glad i did and do not miss it.
Now i watch movies and read books, watch video essays on yt, listen to new music i stumble upon and it s more fun than scrolling for hours.
