Social media can be stressful...

...if you let it get to you.

The other day, someone commented that my Instagram feed was now very boring. Not that I need to upload pictures to "impress" people who follow me, but my social media, especially on my private account, is generally meant for me.

And so, I arranged for two, boring silver cars, for a quick picture.

Sick Supra.
Most social media people live a boring and crappy real life. They stare at their phones all day like an idiot and will develop hunchbacks quick. When you confront them in real life, you see how truly miserable they are.

Love that Supra. Was just browsing Supras yesterday.

Shocking to see how much a mint condition examples sells for.

Yes, social media can be stressful/competitive. That's why I don't put photos on FB, don't have a snapchat, and only post to instagram once every few weeks.

Last time I checked, forums like this fall into the social media category.

Is that a self description or did you mean social network? Social media and social network are not the same

I always love to read comments on here about how people don't do social media.

For my personal "social media" account, I personally use it as a way to track my life - places I've traveled to, restaurants I've visited, significant milestones, etc. Most of them have personal hashtags, so it's easy for me to search by tag and look back (especially useful when you want to have a look at all the places you've traveled to!).

I think social media is social media. Forums are perhaps an older, less direct/immediate variant of social media.
