Social Media Scares Me

I have been off of social media for about 2 months now (until today, since I made this account). I have found that Facebook and Instagram give me extreme anxiety and since leaving, I am feeling much better. Honestly, I’m kind of afraid to go back because of the amount of notifications and catching up I would have to do. Not to mention the ads constantly trying to get me to buy whatever I was browsing Amazon for the night before. 

Every like or share I would receive would unload dopamine into my brain, leaving me feeling on top of the world... but every high comes down eventually, leaving you wanting more. It was like an addiction to me. I spent hours upon hours reading about other people and their lives instead of focusing on what was right in front of me, my own life. 

Yet, here I am... posting on social media 😂😅 

With that being said, this account is mostly for fun, but also to scratch my social media itch. 🧸
