I have come to the realisation that all social media is just a massive circle jerk. Reddit is 90% reposts of twitter,Instagram and tiktok etc. Also I am seemingly addicted to doom scrolling.

How do you stop? What do I fill my time with gah.

I used to doom scroll mumsnet, but it got too quiet. I m guessing I need to delete everything. How to fill time though?

I deleted all my socials. Don’t miss them tbh, was sick at looking at the same crap everyday 😂

Watch a series/films, gym, walks, chill, plenty to do

I don't know what circle jerk means

But for me the main thing is don't take it seriously

Come off it by all means

I don't do Facebook

I think it can be good for a laugh, for useful info etc. But I am careful as I am lazy and it's easy to look at something, think it's important because people are going on about it...then you go out in the real world and realise it isn't.

Maybe a hobby would be good?

Oh and it's nice to just sit and listen to an album.

I am quite happy doing not much though.

Maybe OP wants a chat, which is cool, though I do have to help assemble dinner soon.

There are 138,000 subreddits. You have not used it correctly if you think it’s just reposts Grin

I thought OP meant it was the same stuff doing the rounds as well though. I don't know.

Remove the apps. Delete the accounts.
