Anyone been avoiding social media lately?

I have enough to deal with at the moment and hearing about all these mass shootings and stuff makes me even more anxious 馃様.
I have been too busy with work and socialising to use socials and it has been amazing . Life feels so fulfilling and as it was before the pandemic ,but better since I have changed a lot of things for myself

@empanadas Puedo hablar Espanol pero no lo hablo fluido.
@Ducky Hay demasiada negatividad en las redes sociales.

Less time here and I don't seek out a lot of news that is intended to be what we see and hear.
This is a three day weekend and when it's done, deleting my account. It's too much negativity.

I have been avoiding it for the simple fact there is way too much drama in the world today. We need peace and good news. Social media just reanacts nightmare s
I only ever come here, but I鈥檝e definitely been avoiding the news.
@Fluffybull Same here. I've rarely looked at the news in depth since May 2020. When I do look at it, it's just only briefly.
@latinbutterfly @Fluffybull I sometimes check local stuff, but that鈥檚 it.
@bijouxbroussard I browse the news on the internet. I haven't watched it on TV in ages, lol.
errr ive been binged watching true crimes on YouTube so i don't think that makes any difference since there's also those kinds of stories there

Yes big drama stuff sadly, trying to tune out all the heartache got a kid and family to worry about.
@OceanRoses Same.

Just boof it all away.
For me the effect is cumulative. So even if I avoid news and media the damage has already been done and any future exposure only makes things worse. For me there is no healing.

Yep. I don't need any more negativity in my life right now.
Not intentionally avoiding it, just too busy to be on it

Only here and sparingly at that

Not avoiding it. Just not absorbing the negativity anymore. It's all about how you use it.

I stopped watching the news in around highschool, it's nothing but negative stuff and half-truths
