I definitely understand the negative effects of social media. I don’t like that people tend to present such a false side of themselves on social media. But I also wonder if my frame of mind influences how I might feel about social media on any given day. When I’m feeling down I find that I feel sad when I see how happy everybody else seems to be except me. I build that up in my mind. When I’m feeling good I enjoy interactions on social media. I guess this is the same in real life, only amplified on social media maybe. I took all social media off my phone except PC. That seems to help limit my activity so that I feel more positive about it.
