The oversaturation of average social media.

Finding SpaceHey has been one of my biggest relief for me (so far).

Don't misunderstand me. I'm still using social media, mostly cuz my work is about using a phone. however I'm so overstimulated and overwhelmed by so much on the web that I can't even think stright anymore. 

Don't you think social media can affect or distort your thinking?

Well, that's one of the things why I'm trying to gradually reduce my social media presence.  

Lately I've noticed that mi IG account is showing WAY TOO many news, mostly tragedy. I remember using IG for posting pics I find cute and personal and watching others, but now everything, suddenly is evolving to a newspaper.

I am one of those people that don't like seeing or watching news, cuz let's be real: 

Watching too many news is counterproductive and harmful.

While having acces to different perspectives is good in one way, I simply don't want it anymore.

And of course, you would tell me we're living hard times and chaos and it's real. But facing with the choice between staying and losing what little sanity I have left and preserving it, I prefer to preserve it. 

I can't even stand how people are writting these days! 

I don't know if it's just me, but I barely understand most of the comments on a comments section. It gives me mixed emotions: Am I losing my capacity of thinking? How can others understand this? Am I dumb? 

I also have noticed that some formats makes me feel anxious (Tktk).

And here's another problem I'm watching: More and more people are gaining access to electronic devices and the web, but not to education. PROPerly education.

A world where information is almost everywhere, but also, distortions everywhere and formal education is not that accesible to.

Idk, I just want to not touch that topic right now, not deep. This is not a blog for educational purposes, just my feelings talking for myself.

I'm anxious to see how it goes my "social media detox"...
