I've been thinking about it, and I don't think it's healthy for me. I'm not saying all social media apps/sites (like TikTok, Instagram, ect.) are inherently bad, but I think the way and reason I use them isn't healthy. I'll just be doomscrolling for hours upon hours, and for what? I'm never ever satisfied; it feels like just an endless void. I'm not sure if it counts as addiction since it's definitely addicting and an unhealthy coping mechanism, but yeah now that I just typed that out. Yeah. It is. God, that's stupid of me, addicted to social media? Yikes...

The funniest part too is I do prefer blogging and forum-based social media websites, but I just can't stop myself from doom scrolling TikTok.

I'm hoping if I do this my motivation and focus will start to come back. I used to love writing fanfiction and just writing my own stupid stories, but I get so bored after the first like 750 words, I stop and just leave it to rot in my documents. And I feel like that started when I first started using apps like TikTok.

I think Tumblr will be an exception for me though because I still feel satisfied and motivated to do things I enjoy on there, and it doesn't really affect my personal life. Twitter (or oh sorry, X :P) might go though just because ion like the community on there.

But yeah, I want to give it one more day to let my mooties know I'm leaving and say my farewells to my followers on there, and then boom. I'll delete TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. I feel much happier and actually do shit I enjoy on here, LJ, fanfiction sites, fp and spacehey, and forums. So long doomscrolling addiction.
