This post might come off as a rant, or a complaint.

BUT…

Do you ever find yourself just constantly scrolling through Facebook or Instagram reels? Or even on TikTok? The odd video is always pretty useful, or a recipe I want to try. Or some mom tips. Some travel ones. But then eventually you come across some pretty dumb ones, or a lot of dumb ones.. and you literally wasted a chunk of time just doing nothing but being a scrolling zombie.

Same thing with just regular Facebook or Instagram posts. I mean, they aren’t all a waste, I do enjoy seeing what friends and family are up to. But, outside of that, I don’t need to see all these ads, memes, and videos. Again, I feel like its just a waste of time for me.

Not to mention that I also always judge my own life based on others. Like I see that other people look the way I want. Or get to live their life the way I want to. Like you don’t need to share with people that you spent $10,000 in one month, considering the economy is so crap and people can barely get by, and here you are gloating on social media getting ridiculous amounts of views because you have all this money.

Anyway. This is why I feel that social media is the enemy and a big waste of time. I try to unplug more often now (mainly on socials).

It would be nice to have a site where it can be just keeping up to date with your friends and families life, like TRUE family and friends (not necessarily the ones that don’t make an effort to be a part of your life).

Don’t get me wrong, I do love meeting new friends too, I’ve met quite a few people online, and they are great. That is a part of social media I don’t mind. But, there are also A LOT of scammers, bots and creeps.

What are your thoughts on the topic of social media? Do you find yourself feeling down? Or like you’re not where you want to be? Or overall unproductive. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
