I'm 26 and I'm tired of social media. I was addicted to insta for a bit and I've teared myself away. Now when I go back, I can still feel the addictive quality but for the most part I look at people's posts and wonder how they aren't embarassed. Like why do I care to see this photo of you? Did you really just set your camera up in this complicated way to take a photo in your room? Isn't that sad? Do people actually get anything from these reels that are so vapid? The fact that one of my favourite songs is being used as background music to the most inane "comedy" makes me angry because it's ruining my experience of the art itself! All these things go through my head. I couldn't take myself seriously posting any more unless it was strictly for business.
