I think it's important that you recognised what made you feel the way you did about social media. You took the break needed. Recognising it was the pressure you put on yourself. Very honest blog.
I have to say I enjoy social media. I have made connections, and some friendships with some great people and has been a great asset for me where my work as a PR Specialist is concerned. I have shared posts or put up content that I know has helped change people for the better. But maybe I like social media because I joined in my 40s when my personality/character was fully formed so was not too dependent on likes and affirmations from my social media friends/followers. I believe that social media can be a force for good, especially re sharing the gospel and providing opportunities for those not able to get a platform in traditional media, but I am concerned for the teens and young adults who have grown up on social media. It's not always a good place for them to be whilst they our journeying from childhood to adulthood - especially if they are one of the 'unpopular kids' or are bullied.
