Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Mehret! This part made me go "yes!":

"In reality, even beautiful people are just people; doing the same thing as you— waiting for the train, adding fruits to their baskets, walking down the street. They don’t just exist in a perfect pose in aesthetically pleasing backgrounds."

I didn't answer the poll because I am on social media, but only because I practise extreme minimalism and there's nobody else like me IRL (believe me when I say it, lol). I have minimalist friends, but they are not "extreme" like me. So Facebook has groups, and I'm part of an extreme minimalism group there, which for me is a haven amidst this chaotic, consumeristic, filled-with-things society. But other than Facebook, I do not use social media - not IG, X, TikTok, whatever else.

I've been off of social media for 3 months now and I cant say enough about how well I've been doing. But i find myself fighting the urge to re-download cause I feel like I'm missing something.

Then I remember that through all the years I have been on it , nothing has really happened.
