A Break From Social Media

Personally, I cannot a break from visiting my Facebook. Most of my friends, relatives, and family members are so active using it. The rest of my SocMed (social media) is not being visited because they are not useful for me now. Actually, I decided to take a break from them, except Facebook as mentioned. Thus, a moment of digital detoxifying. Are you having a break from your social media? Image Credit: miro.medium.com

I have a Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp that I used daily because of my online store business.

That's nice. I do not have any business online. If I were in your shoe, I will do the same thing.

You said it right. We can do this to stay away from being stressed out.

My only social media is myLot. I get a break about once a month when I have allergic reactions that keep me from being able to see. You aren't talking about taking a break from here, are you? If you do that, who will I tease and stalk... I mean, have fun with?

I can't remember the last time I visited Facebook. I have an account but I'm not active there. But I often use Instagram just to read the feed on interesting news.

It is inevitable not to check FB since we often communicate with people close to our hearts here. No Instagram account here.

The only use I make of social media is to share my posts where views matter. I use only the message section of FB

I think some people are like you. I don't have Instagram despite being encouraged by friends to have one.

I don't usually check the posted things on Facebook. I just check my Facebook messenger.

I am more active here so to speak. I just check my Facebook messenger often because they usually message me on this app.

Yes, I am not involved in many sites. Sometimes it's best to stay off the computer a awhile. Life was just as fun without the computer

Not really but I access Facebook just to get hold of things happening in the world so I am making myself aware of things and using it effectively

I can agree with you more but we still need to be vigilant with the posted information there

Social media is really toxic nowadays. I usually unfollow pages or leave groups whenever I feel negative about them. I also watch movies/kdramas so I can take a break from scrolling my social media accounts haha.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to unfriend those who are not active. My mom and I also watch Kdramas on Facebook.

I can generally stay away from social media sites when I set my mind to do so, but I have to admit there is a social media app I discovered last year from which I can't stay away a single day, and the main reason for that is that, unlike Facebook, I get paid on it for the content I post, so for the time being I am not going to take a complete break from social media.
