"My new way of using social media is to post less"
My new way of using social media is to post less. I guess where in the past I would post frequently, either on my own pages/groups or on a post I would be judged or spoken to in a way that made me feel small. I think in limiting my “interaction” with others I won’t put myself in the same position again… I decided I was going to interact less and be more purposeful in my interactions. I also think given the negativity that was thrusted upon me before I left social media and the head space I was in, I never want someone to feel that way like I did, so I want my interactions to be helpful. This is what I want to see more of, people building each other up and helping one another, not belittling each other and being unhelpful. For me, it was change or don’t come back to social media. – Male, 25, TAS - Owen
