We can’t seem to live without social media. We turn to it for every aspect of our life and while lots of the content is positive, there are also accounts that make us feel bad about ourselves and can make it a toxic environment. If you can’t turn away from social media, but don’t like the messages it’s been sending you, here are three tips for healthier social media use.
What You See Isn’t What You Get
People look perfect on social media and that’s because they use filters or position themselves in flattering angles. Also, the expensive clothes they have are often knockoffs or they’re returned to the store after the photo is posted.
You Don’t Have to Post Everything You Do
Sometimes it’s important to just live in the moment instead of trying to capture every aspect of your daily life. Really experience your life instead of trying to show others it.
Stop Following Negative Accounts
When you look at posts for a long time, the IG algorithm recognizes you’re looking at them for a long time, so you’ll get more of those posts in the future. Do yourself a favor and unfollow accounts that make you feel bad about yourself and think about unfollowing celebrities.
