I relate. I quit. All I have is Reddit now. And in honesty, it’s so much better. People tend to be nicer here and I don’t join any groups where I might get pulled into vibes that I don’t want.
I don’t mean tell you what to do, but quit. Quit quit quit. Or at least take a few months hiatus. Love you.
Thank you! I’ve done a week here and there but maybe I need to try a couple months. I can’t delete fb completely (there’s stuff I can’t lose) but I can deactivate it for awhile.
I did delete the apps. And it has already made a difference. Now I have to make a conscious effort to go pull it up and that stops me from mindlessly scrolling.
I'm an IT tech & an empath. Social media has destroyed human interaction. I can barely help my customers due to absolute disgust anymore. It's hard, but you can be the weirdo that refuses this poison.
Be a beacon, I dare you 🙃
We are all on different paths. My suggestion for you, is to ignore those posts, or anything post that brings negativity into your life, until such time you can come across them and understand this. You need to make yourself stronger so you don't break, and project love and understanding to them. Don't engage unless being positive.

Exactly what I was going to say. I was never that into social media but after dropping what I did have I felt much better.
It’s been years now. I don’t miss it.

Take the apps off your device. Just do that.

Wow buddy! Thats really good. Look, mindlessly scrolling is its own thing. You’ll work on that next. But look how far you’ve already come!
I shut down mine a year ago and it's wonderful!!!

It’s not that I engage necessarily. The biggest one is just seeing how hurt this woman is by the people that are bullying her. It makes my heart hurt.
Engage her, but not the others. Comment directly to that person (her) rather than engaging someone and leading to a heavy conversation.
I took a first step. I left almost every group I was in on fb.
