If you are scrolling on Instagram (or any other social media platform) and thinking that your life sucks, you should remember that you’re not a kid anymore.
Your life doesn’t suck. You should be grateful for your life.
I wouldn’t say “Stop using Instagram” because it is useful in some ways.
For example, instagram can be entertaining and informative.
Instagram can keep you up-to-date with trends.
Instagram can keep you busy and stop boredom and negative thoughts temporarily.
But using Instagram or social media in general is a less efficient use of your time.
If you manage your time effectively, you can stay away from your phone and other devices and work peacefully.
And by work I mean activity that makes you productive or gives you joy and pleasure.
Also after I use instagram for long periods of time, I feel exhausted and irritated.
I’m not saying that using Instagram makes you a kid.
I’m saying comparing yourself to others on Instagram is a mistake that usually grown ups don’t make.
I’m glad you read this line. Thanks a lot!
