How do you use social media?

View all responses

I used to use social media… Wait, social media used to use me!!! It was content after content, just doom scrolling and keeping up with friends. An entire hour would go by, and there I was, zoned out from doom scrolling. Well, this had to change. I stepped away from social media for a bit, and when I started to get back into it, I changed how I use social media.

Currently, social media is geared towards what I allow myself to see. If the content does not resonate with me, I unfollow or hit that button to remove ads. As I use social media to brand myself, I ensure my brand reflects the content that I am seeing. Also, with my phone settings, I give myself a time frame to limit usage. This is where my phone shuts down all my social media accounts until the next day.
