Yep. The more I reduce using Instagram, the more I feel better mentally. Instagram has become a rat race for people to show who has a better life.
Haven't been on social media for years now. I feel so much better now, focusing on enjoying my life instead of convincing everyone I'm enjoying my life. Small but big difference.
I'm also a big digital privacy nut and I can't begin to fathom just broadcasting all my shit to the entire internet... Particularly through a company that is actively analyzing and monetizing it
And a large portion of that ‘good life’ is a complete fabrication. So it becomes a rat race to see who can fake it better.
