Social Media Stress

Post Reply New Topic

I don't follow people as I don't want to hear about their vacations and grandkids etc. I don't expect anyone to follow me except close friends or family.

I find social media sites like Facebook to be superficial. I have used Facebook off and on. I tend to take things way to literally so I learned that if you actually like something it may not mean that you actually like it. If the like button was turned to read that would be less confusing. However, people like comments and connection over the most superficial things. A day in the life of so and so is not that interesting if all one posts is hanging out with so and so, eating or drinking at blah, blah, what the kids did today.

Kiki, do yourself a favor and leave Facebook. That place is nothing but a stress inducing nightmare for so many people. I have an account on there but it is not my real name or background because I never thought of Facebook as being something to take seriously, or trust for that matter (I basically have a crank account). I've seen and experienced a lot of people trash relationships, jobs, businesses, and so forth simply due to Facebook drama. Consider the caliber of the people who post on Facebook and take a GOOD look at who you are dealing with. Are these people you would trust in real life? Honestly, most people on Facebook and such are nothing but jerkoffs and wastes of oxygen in real life. The level of fakeness and posing is unreal!

Social media stresses me out because It ends up with me listening to other's opinions on subjects which ultimately get me into a state of discomfort, anxiety and hatred. But I try to endure it, at least on here for the time being. My interaction with social media is very limited and most places, like my Twitter are private and the content on those are only accessible to friends. I don't care too much if I end up on Kiwi Farms again for the things I post here but I do keep secluded in my tight spaces for the most part.

Even online I deal with a lot of social anxiety issues, although it's easier for me to talk in text than it is to do verbally as I tend to stutter and flip flop my words.

Like others have mentioned,
WP is my only site.
Maybe because it's
(no offense intended)
sort of a comforting slow throwback,
and it's helpful.
But I can already feel the
presssssure
to get out.

I've started and deleted
started and deleted,
started and deleted
Tumblr and Instagram accounts
far too many times
to not feel crazy.

Even Pandora gets to me.
Every song any song
isn't quite right
doesn't fit my mood
or just doesn't fit.
Last time I closed it
I was up to 96 stations
in a couple days.
No relaxing there.

Give me white noise
in a dark room.
