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. I can waste my time scrolling through my feeds for hours, but at the same time, I got easy access to beneficial information. 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.
