Whenever people would often say that social media is negative or harmful, I’d say “but it has it’s positive resources too”. I’m pretty sure I’m seeing more and more of the side where the harm is becoming more normalized and less fun.

You just have to let people be who they are and control what you can control. Scroll past the negative and remove people who spread negativity. It really shouldn’t be our concern how others conduct themselves, especially if it doesn’t affect our lives.🙂
Nah I think it’s time to do some serious thinking about things and ask myself if some things really are worth it anymore even if there are benefits to it as well.
That’s an option too. Whatever reduces anxiety & unhappiness. Protect your peace. Even if you scale down to just the accounts that make you happy, whatever it takes. It’s all about controlling your environment. We have the power to control this aspect of our lives so do what gives you peace.
I guess I struggle with the notion of taking SM so seriously. It’s an escape that might be punctuated with legitimate connections, but they are few and far between. It certainly isn’t life…it’s a distraction, an amusement.
It’s not that I take everything seriously but to me, if it’s an escape and so much of it is negative then it’s not as much as an escape as an additional form of negativity. I find zero joy or escape if it’s all criticism & disagreement then real life is similar too.
It really sounds like you need to tailor your account. mute and unfriend everything that makes you unhappy. Private your account from trolls! You can tweak to make things better.
