what do you do when emotional FOMO returns with a vengeance / feeling i'm not as involved as i was when i was in school, and flitting through social media (that one photo app particularly) distractedly has me wondering whether i should seriously take a break from it cold turkey
i've mostly been off of social media since 2010 but i've drifted in and out of the bird app and the photo app a few times trying to "market" some of my things. generally when i get into a spiral of more and more use of social media, abandoning it completely lets me realize after about a week how vapid and unfulfilling it really is, and how nothing that "happens" only on social media really matters, like at all.

If you want to deter yourself from something, focus on the negatives.
