    The way I handle my social media is by unfollowing the "unnecessary" accounts which serve no useful purpose. I've decreased my following down to double digits to which I know if I impulsively check my social media's I won't find anything "entertaining" to really look at. Make sure the accounts your following are those you plan to make conversation with or for work/school related accounts. Hope this helps some of you social media addicts.

I haven't posted or used the private account in well over a year but I keep it logged in so that I can see my old posts every now and then. For the longest time I have been getting notifications when I go on that account about what other people posted and how active other people I follow are. I always thought it was really weird because I never get notifications like that on my main.

    I use a type phone which doesn't let me do anything other than communicate and I frequently switch it off just to see if I can be anti social I'm a very extroverted person. I have a Samsung tablet and I use my socials on there sometimes I just see the notification bar and be sad that no one texted me its so sad that my happiness depends on the amount of fucks people give I find it hard to study something I dont like and I just failed my 12th class board exams and I have to reapt the year I had a lot of stuff planned about what I'd do with my skill set online now I just don't know where I stand in life I'm confused and its sad that I have to reapt something I don't like that much but I would for sure study hard this time and try to put my content out there while doing it. All the love in the world to you man great work. Love from India. Have a great life ❤

    The hard thing for me when it comes to distancing myself from social media is that I don't want my friends to think I'm ignoring them or don't want to talk to them anymore. I don't know how to balance my social life and my work/personal life.

      They shouldn't be a problem if they are close to you and understand you. I'm 21 and only use WhatsApp and UA-cam as social media. As long as your friends can reach you (text or anything) you're fine
