I quit most social media (I'm still here, aren't I?) and I found a lot more peace. I ended up working a lot more, which stressed me out, but I finally identified my lack of work-life balance, and now I'm back to a healthy state. No outrage at irrelevant trivia, no other people's lives being a distraction in mine. If anything I just have too much personal stuff to do now. Life feels a bit more meaningful, healthy. I recommend it.

This discussion reminds of this brilliant quote by Strongbad (back when the internet was still a cool place to hangout):

James, the Internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens. You need to take advantage of that.
