Good post! Lots of people struggle with social media these days, and the pandemic only made things worse as it became the de facto method of staying in touch, and people had a lot more time to endlessly scroll.

Have you read the book Digital Minimalism? I listened to it on audible last year, and it's a great book that touches on some of what you talked about here. My core takeaway from the book was that social media has undeniable benefits, but it also comes with some costs. One of those costs is your sanity. You have to determine, platform by platform, if those costs are worth the benefits. One of the ideas the book presents is to take a month-long hiatus from all social media, and then slowly reintroduce it into your life.

I've never had a huge problem with social media myself, but after reading the book I completely bailed on a few platforms. It seems like you don't have a *terrible* relationship with social media, but it might still be worth a read!
