It highlighted something that I have seen in my family and also in myself: shaping of our feelings based on social media.
Every time that social media, specifically what is written by strangers, affects my mood negatively, I see the need to disconnect myself from it.
I’ve gotten pretty good at ignoring negative influences but I clearly see that being exposed to those influences is tiring.
I’ve oscillated between only checking X to continue dialogs via DMs with people that I’ve gotten acquainted with, only checking the timeline of people that I follow, and reading what is written by who X recommends.
I also use LinkedIn, but reading the output of the guarded personae can be tiring too.
I force myself to get out, touch grass, literally through gardening, and I’m heavily involved in family life pretending that I’m retired when I’m away from my work desk.
I appreciate the attention call of this article of what can affect me and my family by being exposed to technology and, specifically, social media.
I wish you the best on your new endeavor and look forward to reading more from you.
Thanks for this article SMA!
