I deleted all Social media on my phone.

I have done this many times, thinking this time's it, only to bounce back. The problem isn't the social media. Even though it actively tries to push us into low consciousness, it's also a great tool to maintain or push you higher. For a social person, it is also essential for contact as virtually everyone is on one of these and many times they don't like giving out there actual number.

The responsibility is on the user's shoulder to be strong enough to resist the bad use of social media. When you open Instagram Reels because you're bored, it is more a function of your own internal conflicts than of Instagram. It's like giving a mentally insane person a gun. If he murders someone with it, was it the fault of the gun? Would we blame the gun to have not restricted itself to be used only in self-defense? We're practically insane and full of fear and these social media apps exploit that heavily. However, if you are able to be intelligent about it, you can use social media for growth in a very efficient manner.

However, when it comes to short form content, I think it's more trouble than it's worth. If any part of social media deserves to be completely cut off it's that aspect.

You know I love you. You can never offend me. You're the light that brightens my day when I come on. I think of you as a cute little cuddly teddy bear. Please don't break my heart by thinking you offended me. Doesn't even matter what you say to me. I can't get mad at you. You're my cuddly little Prince. Now that Bazooky is gone.

I think social media breaks can be good for a few weeks. Not learning how to use it for your advantage leaves you really vulnerable in today's world though. I think anyone that's not actively working on making Instagram work to the benefit of their dating/networking/business life is crazy. I use it for business and pleasure daily.

Too extreme IMO and probably unsustainable. The wise thing to do is finding balance.

Make your life so interesting and fun that you are genuinely not interested in spending a lot of time on social media.
