Monday everybody So I have a question. Do you guys feel that taking a break from social media? together is You know good for your mental health. I think yes I feel like there's times where I don't know for me. I feel like the only social media That's really toxic is Instagram because everyone puts on this, you know fake show that everything is green and blah blah blah But I just get so tired of seeing the fake fake smiles and all that stuff or me myself even trying to put on this fake smile that everything's fine but Yeah, do you guys take breaks? I know we do This isn't the first time either. But yeah, let me know.
Oh my gosh yes this is a necessity social media will suck you in and there's no need for them it easy draining place at times when my partner just go on to post on are they talking truthfully a hop right off because there's a lot of more important things to do than just be scrolling
Not bad, I thought I responded to this one and I just hearted it. But um, no yeah, absolutely, absolutely absolutely agree. Um, I feel like it's just, yeah, it can be very very draining. It's definitely, it's nice to take a break, so yeah, I agree for sure.
Yes we do take breaks we're getting better about it I'm currently addicted to looking for furniture on Facebook marketplace but don't tell anybody OK and that doesn't see it but then we also are like obsessed with the chickens in anyway so yeah but it's really easy not even as and it wasn't really even like social media we were like playing games on our phone you know Put the damn phone down right
Okay now honestly like to your point, looking at furniture and like stuff like that on Facebook Marketplace can really be addicting. I've gone down rabbit holes myself so you're not wrong is what I'm trying to say. But no I get you though it's so hard like trying to put down my phone and it's hard but absolutely trying to at least just disconnect from the social side of things.
Yes I agree and I now have to ask how close to Joplin Missouri you are because if you find a bad ass furniture You need to let me know because if it's you know like I will drive for a good deal on furniture united mean like I got this free 1950s wouldn't take her desk that is actually going to be converted into a kitchen island I'll send you the video
I am literally on the west coast, but I did get your message and I still definitely be looking into that. It's been such a crazy day. But no, I'm actually Cali, Cali girl. But yes, I for sure, when you sent me that message I was like, ooh, okay, I saved it. I took notes in everything.
Awesome sens I love California sidenote and I'm so ready for the warmer weather here in Missouri and I miss the ocean ha ha I'm so out of it today cause I did take allergy stuff last night so I'm having a reaction to my chicken shavings
I really want to go to Missouri. There's actually a podcast or podcasters that I listen to. It's called Let's Go to Court. It's two females and they basically just like talk about like murders and other like interesting cases and stuff but they're so fun. I love it. I love Missouri and thank you. Callie loves you. It's hot over here so yeah.
Personally, I've been trying the past few years to try and cut down social media as much as possible, not just breaks, but like in general, because I do think at the end of the day it doesn't give me that much and I'd rather have like my friends sent me something personally than to see on social media. Obviously, you can get so much more out of social media than that. But I think in general, like...
I absolutely felt this in my core. Um, I feel like... Well, yeah, no, I agree with you a thousand percent. Um, I feel like social media was used initially to, like, really connect. But now I just feel like it's being used for all the wrong things, and so... Obviously I'd love to use it to laugh, um, but it's so much information, like, information overload too and that's a lot.
And I also agree with like the FOMO and like anxiety, like it's just ugh. I, yeah, I've had to definitely cut down on it. I feel like it's such a responsibility to try and keep up things too, like trying to maintain this image and no, no fuck all that. I definitely, yes, I've put time limits on my Instagram specifically, but yeah, I agree.
sure agree with you. I feel like it's so crazy. I read a study about the psychological effects of social media and even the creators of these social media apps and stuff, hopefully they had good intentions of it, but little did they know the actual, I guess, repercussions that it would Actually
Sorry, I work at a call center so I get hillocalls but I was gonna say we as humans though are wired to become addicted to something. So you know it's almost like maybe they're into I don't you know people's you never know people's shoe intentions on what they were trying to create out of this. um you know so yeah that's oof
Social media is basically my second job. Even being on this app is kind of a test thing. So I spend a lot of time posting stuff. I don't spend a lot of time actually on it, like taking in stuff. So yeah, it's good to take breaks for that. I take breaks on weekends, most of the time, or like trips. I was just in Colorado, my one vacation a year, year and I didn't post anything all week which is not normal so
I got you, I got you, and I completely get you. But I mean, well okay, so you must be like a content creator, even with like Instagram or even TikTok too. So I get like taking a break for you would literally kind of be like losing out on money, right? But I get what you're saying too, where it's like, yeah, you just post, post, post, and you don't really, you interact, but like you're not doing it for the aesthetics, like how some that people do, you know?
Yeah, exactly. You're 100% right. And actually, like my personal Instagram, I try to kind of stay off because it does get me depressed sometimes. I mean, he's just this sometimes you get that feeling of missing out and stuff, you know. But yeah, so I mean, and I, most of my friends are on my, my like, my content creator creation channel anyway. But you know, I kind of save it for one day, you know, like one day a week, like catch up on everybody, see how they're doing. But yeah, breaks on taking in what's going on around you is necessary, yeah.
Personally, I haven't been on social media for like two or three years now and I've never looked back. Whereas my partner, she's still on Instagram, Facebook, I mean each to his own right. But yeah, I've definitely seen the benefits being off there.
Definitely teach its own because some people are able to do it for sure And then you know some people they're I mean when I mean like some people are able to just take a break some people they aren't I mean some people it's literally how they advertise their business It's how they make their money whatever the case is so I get that portion of it But I guess just trying to find a healthy balance or do you find like an assistant to do that for you? You know?
My partner and I were coming on two years and we definitely do take breaks from social media. And not because of like, we don't let it run our life, but it can just be so draining and it takes up a lot of our time and we know we have other stuff to do. And so we do take breaks to just kind of be more productive and focus on our mental health than other things that could be more beneficial to us.
