Showing Original Post only (View all)My doctor asked me if I was on social media [View all]
Yesterday, I went for my yearly checkup.
After the med stuff, my doctor asked my what I do in my spare time
I told him about exercise, reading, etc, etc. And then I mentioned I spend time online.
His reaction was "Social Media?"
I told him I never go to Facebook, Twitter, or any of the social sites.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Although an MD, he went on to give me a short lecture about social network sites and mental health.
It was a lecture I didn't need. My feelings/beliefs are the same as his.
So what's my point?
If you're on social network sites, get off. Stop telling the world about yourself, and stop listening to or reading about crap that may or may not be true.
Social media could have been a blessing and a curse. Turns out it's more of a curse that anyone could have imagined.
I know that I'm going to take a ton of crap for this post from many people for many reasons.
Nonetheless, please allow me to say this to you. Get off of social media. And stay off. Forever.
