Welcome back! I’ve been off that shit for over a year now and I honestly don’t miss it a bit. I feel a whole lot better without it. But I was definitely not using it in a healthy way.
PS I finished Lovely Things last night. Good job. My favorite side effect of sobriety is I once again have the attention span to read and I’ve been doing so like a fiend.
I think my "get in, get out" strategy regarding social media works pretty well. I don't really use it for anything social. Besides keeping in contact with a few friends. The feed is not for me.
There is some social media I absolutely cannot do. Twitter or whatever it's called now is poison. I felt so bad about myself and humanity during the extremely short time I had an account for the record label. TikTok is pretty awful too. Well, at least the algorithm. I never interacted with anyone or looked at the feed when I used it. I feel like the idea of TikTok is much better than the reality, but that's true about a lot of things.
Don’t get me started about TikTok. I ended up having a rando response to another’s video get almost 2 million views and it very quickly imploded from there. I don’t know how to ignore the trolls

I was using it as a journal. And forgetting the vast majority of people watching were not friends.
