So so true, I'd come away from posting on my thankfully deleted instagram account with infinitely more anxiety, sense of worthlessness or not being good enough than when I opened the page. Would people like the pic I posted? if not, what did I do wrong, maybe I'm just not photogenic, what about the blue evil eye emoji people say you should post to ward of jealousy and envy, utter nonsense but at the time felt key to a good selfie or whatever else. It's a toss up between instagram or tick tock for the most psychologically damaging platforms imho.

I second this so much. I deleted all social media at the height of my depression, what a weight of unnecessary noise lifted of my shoulders. This reddit acc is new and I litterally follow books, bookshelf and I think 4 others book related subs.

Okay yes! See I'd watch this version, extended, directors cut...everything.
