I personally have never been engaged in a ton of social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat. Truthfully, no time. I have a Facebook account, but I do not friend a lot of people and I try not to scroll often. I tried to get into it, but found especially during the pandemic that I got more annoyed by some of the postings I saw rather than feeling a sense of belonging.
If we expand what the term “social media” means I love HBO Max, Netflix, and Hulu; however, lately I have found myself looking to binge watch old sitcoms more so than new videos. Why? It sure seems like King of Queens is a lot less stressful to watch than some newer shows that want to tackle every controversial topic. I tend to go onto Peacock for simple entertainment. I don’t feel the need to go to the movies, although I do love watching movies (especially classic movies). Right now my husband and I are watching 2nd Season of White Lotus.
I mentioned in a former discussion my youngest daughter surprised me by saying she has quit her snapchat and Instagram account. She asked me to find her a therapist a few months ago and would not speak to me about what was going on, but her behavior was changing. She apparently couldn’t take the bullying from an old boyfriend or former friends from school. She was tired of watching other girls get shamed for their bodies. She is only 15. I have tried since my kids were young to be careful not to get too hung up, but being home for COVID made it worse and I apparently failed to warn her.
I have found myself feeling jealous of others in Facebook posts regarding their pics from Italy and Hawaii when I’m working three jobs and my husband two jobs. We’re lucky if we order in from twice a month and watch a flick on a streaming service, but we’re together. Once a month I make homemade pizza and air fry wings to watch WWE. I found that looking at social media made me more anxious and at times has made me question some of my friends who were posting constantly of family or husband/wife pics only to find out someone had an affair and the pics covered up what was really going on.
I haven’t canceled my Facebook account, but I try not to look at it too often. I watch CNN and CNBC and look up news media sites, but I feel by at least doing that I stand a chance of finding legitimate stories to work with. I am very worried about the online addiction in general. I don’t how anyone can regulate it at this point, but we definitely as a society need to slow down and figure out what our priorities are. The TED talk was so spot on. The people that are making money by influencing or gaming (don’t quite get those videos) is giving young kids the wrong impression of quick money with non-sense videos. I believe with all the talk about bots and Twitter, those hard conversations may be around the corner before our mental health crises explodes even further.
