I hate that I even have to write this.
How have we even gotten here?

How is it that looking at someones social media can actually do emotional damage?
Doesnt that seem silly?
But its not silly.
And it actuallycando some damage.
It can cause you to write stories in your head about someone else.
It can make you believe things that arent really true because you are fabricating reality with anxiety-driven thoughts.
I mean really, think about it, what are you hoping to gain from that experience?
So dont waste your time.
What will happen to you when you see theone thingyou dont want to see?
You know what Im talking about.
Seeing things that hurt you further or grow your hope are neither useful nor helpful.
What weight are you giving another persons curated existence?
They might not post these, so dont fill in the gaps with your own narrative.
Let their life be what it is now- separate from yours.
Are you willing to accept whatever you might see?
Heres the thing- nobody is forcing you to look.
So whatever you see, thats on you.
Clear your search history.
Stop looking at other peoples profiles that you know they will pop up on.
Delete your social media.
Do whatever it takes to break the habit.
Ask yourself these questions before you look at their profile.
Ask yourselfwhyyou need to look before you do.
And if, in any way, it feels like looking will upset you or set you back-
Dont.
