Yeah, social media can be quite toxic. Are you on it a lot atm? It might be good to have a bit of a break if you're feeling this way about it.

That it isn't all about followers and some of the people with the most followers spend the most time online and the least time with people in person and probably the loneliest ://

so true! it's good to be critical of what you see online. there's always a bigger picture. no-one has a perfect life!

Wish someone told me how addictive it is  I mainly use mine as a photo book for memories now rather than uploading for likes
