Been off for 2 years, best thing you can do for yourself imo.

I never have to see people post pictures of their guns saying it didn’t go out and shoot someone on its own the day after a mass shooting 🙄🤮.

Yup, spending less time on social media is great. I've decreased my time spend on it, but I've already started to see the posts about how "if you're a trump supporter, then you can defriend me" lol. In all honesty, I pray for these people who think like this about Trump supporter's.

This isn’t constant political bs/ old friends from high school or college humbleflexing.

This is just constant bitching about your job, work memes, seeing what dumb stuff your company did today, and most importantly laughing at the singles bowl.

It’s still social media sure, but it’s different and less personal.

I have unfriended or unfollowed all the toxic people in my feeds and it has made such a huge difference. Now, I just see the content I want - Facebook is basically my friends who post kids or pets or cooking or travel stuff. Insta is the same except also famous people or accounts that post the same content (travel, food, animals). No politics. I just don’t want to hear it or see it. I honestly don’t care what Jennifer from 3rd grade’s views on abortion are. I really don’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I do go on twitter for political stuff but limit it and and in time out until well after election. It’s just nasty there.

Where will you learn about the news?

I deleted my Facebook around 5 years ago, but I used Instagram and Twitter daily up until a few months ago. Politics makes people crazy, don't they know the rule? It gets a lot better once you're not bombarded by people spewing the same talking points over and over. You still can't avoid friends and family though, I just keep my mouth shut and try to change the subject whenever politics comes up, or I just leave the room.
