I've been averse to trends like this, but I did get on Facebook and Insta this summer at the urging of some friends (I run a nonprofit so it's useful to network). By last week I had both apps on my phone and was just numbscrolling through Insta videos. Realized my mental health had gone to absolute shit in weeks. Deleted the apps andI'm feeling myself again.
It really is dangerous what they've created, if I didn't have ambition, I would be right there zombified.
