Awhile ago I was trying to catch some sleep and I just had to check Twitter that one last time before bed and noticed that I was just putting off my sleep because of it and at the same time I was reading about miserable events done by miserable people, that made me decide that it was time to take a proper break from Twitter.
Month later I can say that it was a good decision, tho I miss some of the folks there I don't miss the misery of the world. I understand that there are issues out there that need to be heard but I personally got so numb that even the most prominent issues just made me harrumph. Social media is all well and good if you can still relate to the people and feel connected but after awhile it can numb you and instead of feeling connected you feel more severed from others. It made me think in more extreme terms and ways about people who didn't EXACTLY align with my thoughts and viewpoints.
Social media seems to eventually push people in to separate cells that can't communicate between other cells properly and I think it's one of the reasons things are spiraling out of control.
I'd like to hear if there are more people that start to feel disconnected because they are connected constantly.
