I haven’t had personal social media since I deleted it all 7 years ago. It was giving me anxiety to post anything, ruining my mental health due to FOMO and comparing myself to other people, and I had concerns about privacy.
However, now, with all these social media companies imploding and new ones starting, it kinda makes me want to rejoin social media again. I do feel out of the loop quite a bit not being on it. I often can’t view posts linked in articles and other places online because I don’t have an account. And I also think I’m way more equipped to handle it now that I’m a stable adult and not a teenager with an identity crisis lol. But I wonder if it’s worth it or if I’ll just regret joining again.
Do you have personal social media? What are your thoughts on it?
I only use Facebook because family and friends do. I rarely post. Mostly an address book. Well LinkedIn too but even less. I do not like Twitter at all… it is basically either people who want to be the person or who want to follow the person… I am niether. So I think personal social media is not very important. Forums on the other hand that are topic based, not personality, based I like.
Edit:. As far as not annonymous. Who wants the trolls and the hassel.
