How to have a good relationship with social media

Does social media fuck you up the same way it does for me? And yet, like drugs, we still use. You and me, let’s get to the bottom of it.

For me, social media is one of the most difficult activities to engage in.

I’m more of an introvert but I see the value in opening up myself.

But social media takes that to the next level.

You are always under other people’s judgment, and it shows up with the way they interact with your content.

It’s hard not to take it personally. Most of the time, probably, most people don’t care.

The inherent nature of social media makes it a necessary evil that we must manage so that we show up best for ourselves.

Honestly, I get super anxious using social media. That’s how I operate.

I start thinking about this or that, and my brain can’t help but run the analytics.

Rumination. Reprimanding. Rage. Rinse. Repeat.

I am convinced that it’s not the most healthiest thing to think about all the time. But we still do it.

It’s straight up obsessive.
