MindOomph Shorts No. 67: Social media isn’t the way out!

How much do we actually register from the constant scrolling on social media?

I mean, think about it. At the end of a long day spent scrolling through social media or binge-watching TV shows, how much do you really remember? For me, the answer is usually not much. And what’s worse is that all that mindless scrolling leaves me feeling even more drained and exhausted than before. Instead of feeling relaxed and refreshed, I’m left feeling overwhelmed and restless. It’s like I’m trying to distract myself from something, but I’m not sure what.

I’ve noticed that I’ve become increasingly uncomfortable with just sitting and doing nothing. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be bored and how to let my mind wander and explore without the constant stimulation of a screen. And yet, despite all the time I spend consuming content, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing out on something important. Like there’s a void inside me that I’m trying to fill with likes, comments, and endless streams of information.

It’s a vicious cycle, really. I try to distract myself from my sorrows by immersing myself in the world of social media, but all it does is leave me feeling even more empty and disconnected from myself. But I’m determined to break free from this cycle. I know that true happiness and fulfillment can’t be found on a screen. So I’m making a conscious effort to spend less time online and more time engaging with the world around me. It’s not easy, but I know it’s worth it in the end.

Until next time, Adios amigo!
