Why Not to Give Up on Social Media
For the Love of Your Mental Health
It's not like we're saying you're addicted or anything. Okay, fine, maybe we are, but it's for your own good. Think of all the:
- Friends you've made who are secretly judging you for your cat's Instagram aesthetic
- Family members you've learned to avoid during holidays for the sake of your sanity
- Strangers who have given you unsolicited advice on your life choices
And let's not forget the:
- Endless memes and GIFs that have brought you joy, even if it's just a fleeting moment of "same"
- The thrill of watching your favorite streamer play video games for hours on end
- The satisfaction of posting a witty remark only to have it ignored by everyone except your aunt
So, don't give up just yet! You can still:
- Take a digital detox, but only for a week or two
- Limit your screen time to 12 hours a day (we won't judge)
- Unfriend everyone, but only after a 3-hour scroll through your friends list
