I don't fukk with mainstream social media either unless it's in a business capacity, never had a Facebook MySpace none of that shyt. I don't get the run and tell the Internet mentality that the majority of people share.

When I met my girl and she told she hates social media I knew I had a real one :mjcry::banderas:

I have Tiktok; IG, FB, and Twitter but don't really use it. I lurk on Twitter, and occasionally lurk on TikTok

I have a Snapchat and Instagram, because I was bullied into getting it this year by my neighbours :mjlol: they're all in the 18-21 age group so it blew their mind that there could be someone who doesnt have social media.

I hate it though and never use it. It's bad for my mental health. I see people stunting and showing off on it, people I know or used to know, like people I went to high school or undergrad university with. You see them showing off their possessions and their lifestyles and it leads to feelings of underachievement and inadequacy, like why isn't my life like that?

The answer is that I don't actually want it to be like that, I'm happy living a scholarly life focused on learning and writing. I don't really need to be buying the bar out at the most expensive club, taking overseas holidays, or buying expensive material possessions. I wouldn't enjoy it anyway, even if I had the money to do all that. So why bother with it? Frankly the fact is that what I love doing the most is going through dusty old history books and then writing my research papers about them. That's just who I am. It isn't something that's appealing or marketable, especially not on social media, but who cares about that? We should all do what makes us happy, fukk what society thinks is important.

The problem with social media is that it makes me forget the fact that I wouldn't actually enjoy any of that. So I see people stunting and feel bad about myself not being able to do the same things, even though in reality I know deep down that if I did those things I wouldn't have fun anyway. I'm happy with who I am and comfortable in my own skin. Social media makes me not happy with myself and not comfortable with where I'm at in life. So I think its evil, it's not a good thing.
