Never used it; based on my (admittedly limited) observations, it seems like most social media outlets encourage their users to engage in a lot of excessive comparison-making and to focus too much on the (deceptively happy) lives of others, to the detriment of their own. I can see how those networks would be helpful for making business and work connections, though, so I don't blame anyone for having an account; it's simply something that I don't want for myself, and that I'm not sure is healthy to use casually. Are there any activities you're willing and able to participate in near where you live? When we chase hobbies and interests that are important to us, sometimes we find we're able to start new friendships because we discover others who share our values and so have ended up in the same space as us. I realize that quarantines have shut down a lot of opportunities for social interaction, though; we are living through a time that is extraordinary, and unfortunately atm, it is not for good reasons. :(

so I gave it up for a month and now that i’m back on I see a significant spike in my OCD symptoms. I was recovering SO WELL and then Bam! I now see how it’s affecting me, I do want to use it for my career but I feel so torn.
