Instagram and Me: A love-hate story

  I've been in a love-hate relationship with Instagram for these past two years. I'll delete the app for  a week or t wo , then reinstall it .   The reason is always the same,   I feel like sometimes I can't control the way I use it.

At times ,  getting a glimpse of other people's lives through the app makes me   feel a kind of uneasiness ( anxiety or even jealousy), a lthough   I am well aware that we   can't   really judge someone's life through their Instagram posts. It can even be the complete opposite of how they actually live their life. But still... The worst thing is that it then drives me to do things just so that I can show them to the world through stories or posts. And as far as I am concerned, this has  to stop . So I did the only  way I  know how by  muting every story  and post of an individual account that I follow.

Those blue highlights are the feedback that we got from other people. Me trying to write in Korean. Took me more than 10 minutes. And about the notification, they'll send you an email a day. It is like the summary of what you did on that day, ranging from your post, the feedback you got, the comments, and all. I noticed that if you don't have any activity for that day, they won't send you an email. What's more on th
