If you are trying to quit social media, you have to find something more interesting and engaging to do so that social media becomes the gorilla that you fail to pay attention to.
Thanks for the advice. I think you're right. I've been trying to "white-knuckle" it for the longest time, and it just hasn't been working. I find myself staring at the wall or the train, spiraling into a cycle of intense boredom. Well, I might as well check Instagram, is what I tell myself, but that isn't good for me, because I end up falling into a different sort of vicious spiral.
