How are you different from when you first joined social media?

Is it in a positive way or negative. What have you learnt?

I am more mellow, and less engaged, than before. I don't take things too seriously anymore. I do not get attached to people like I used to. Also. I tend tune out the problems and drama of others on here nowadays, more often than before. I still care about old friends but less about strangers, I confess. Oh, I wish them the best, but it is just too tiresome to get involved. I am more apt to just move on. Maybe I am just jaded. But I am not as depressed and emotional as I used to be, so that is part of it. Also, I am six years older!

@JoyfulSilence well it all sounds fairly positive so that's a good thing! Just for the record I think you're one of the nicest guys here..☺

@Primnproper Thank you, my friend. I think you are nice, too.

@VioletRayne don't be disillusioned, just be wise and use what you've learnt to be more confident..

I was so caught up with being validated I recklessly overshared and made friends with the wrong people because I was simple too excited and naive, but the negative experiences have made me really distrustful and skeptical, and I realised how pointless social media is so I only express myself on places like this and I’ve stopped caring about what people are doing with their lives for good

I'm basically the same.

@SW-User lucky you, so you haven't grown in any way or learnt anything from it.

@Primnproper Not really. I feel like I was already educated in internet safety when I was younger. So when I joined social media, I wasn't very surprised. I've learnt things from people I've met on social media, but not anything from social media itself. I guess the only difference is that I'm slightly less naive, but I think that naturally came with age.

@SW-User maybe but also it can come from experience..

Not to give out too much information because so many people are dishonest.
