I’m just trying to vent because if i bottle it up, it’s worse.

I think speaking on the negatives of how social media can impact you are important to keep aware of, you can find it corny or whatever but you’re not exempt from the feelings of bitterness and exhaustion on how this affects you as you clearly have demonstrated right here with two posts b****ing and moaning that i’m b****ing and moaning.

It’s just as corny

i hate myself for not knowing who to believe and why without feeling like i’m demonizing one or the other

u should hate that youre paying attention and care at all, probably a good time for a break

agreed

before you get upset, or even happy, about something think about whether it actually effects you personally

99% of things on social media or the news dont, but they can still be good entertainment if you dont get caught up in it

I just hate how this s*** affects culture and people vilify each other over small s*** that they think is bigger then it really is

those people are stupid haha

Agreed and there is a lot of em unfortunately

A lot of people who live on their phones and exercise performative social media justice are total narcissists who don’t really care about the issue so much as appearing as if they’re good, well rounded individuals. One of my friends is exactly like this and they were obsessed with the trial.

It’s a chicken/egg scenario, but I think social media brings the worst out of people at least.

@op take some time away from it and try engaging irl activities

Last sentence is real.

Ijs you and so many others have found the problem, and the solution but keep fw the problem and it’s like why?

You know SM is “x” way, and you don’t like it. Why stay? Are you missing out on that much?

I mean, sorta. Kinda?

The question really would be is it worth being up to date on what’s going on in society and people’s reactions to recent events if it just starts to weigh on you overtime?

You’re right @op

s*** if u ask me, being up to date w society is a big piece of what weighs on me no lie

i think it’s better to try n educate urself abt stuff rather than try to take stuff in thru twitter or sm in general. a lot of the time they don’t know what they talking bout (stranger things ordeal) or the ppl talking not even real. Definitely worth being up to date, but other ppls reactions aren’t worth too much to me personally
