Social media? I don't even.

"People posting about themselves on social media are pathetic... As I type out my thoughts on a social media platform because I feel like my thoughts are important enough to share with people."

God damn, how stupid are kids these days?

Social media is like a video game, at least it fulfills all the same internal rewards as a video game. Instagram is an MMORPG, you choose an avatar and create a persona loosely based on your own in order to win points (followers/likes). I think psychologically there's probably very little difference between people who use social media excessively and those who play a lot of video games.

I never post on fb or tweet. I post frequently on insta as a sort of photo portfolio rather than a "hey look at me!" type thing

This. I used to have the mentality of I need to post all the time, get followers, get likes etc.

I think having a social persona and only doing things for the gram and not because you actually enjoy doing them is detrimental to mental health.

I've found that the best way to use social media, at least for me, is to use it as a portfolio and networking tool. I've gotten rid of everything excluding Instagram and NS and I only post to the gram every month or so. I've also unfollowed everyone outside of close friends and companies/brands I support.

The only difference is this is a stream of consciousness style rant, and if you're smart enough (which I assume your not) you'd realise I don't care about validation/likes which was the basis of what I was talking about.

Exactly, what I was saying was targeted towards these mindless drones. You guys should know what I mean without describing these types of people.

The matrix

I mean if we are at a point now where games and shit are so realistic and alive, there is a massive chance that we are a character in a game slash simulation

Yikes. You've really gone downhill. You used to be entertaining. Now you're just kinda sad

I have more followers than Stacy. I am sooooo much better than she is. She's such a bitch like OMG

I've been thinking the same recently.

I moved out to Canada from the UK on a two year work visa in June to hopefully start a new life as I was fucking miserable back there. I got myself a job as a lifty at Panorama Bike Park and everything was going sweet for a while, made some good friends, my riding skills were sky-rocketing and was genuinely enjoying life. I made the decision to delete facebook and insta off my phone as I started to feel like that stuff wasn't important anymore.

Fast forward a few weeks, I completed fucked up my wrist in a stupid accident, broken in 4 places and required surgery. Unable to work, drive or ride and with not much else to do, I re-downloaded it all and now I feel hooked again. Especially now, as the summer season has finished and most of my closer friends have left the resort until winter.

Like I literally don't give a shit what 90% of the people I follow are doing with their lives, but I'm just so fucking bored I feel completely addicted to these stupid apps again now. I'm sure every time I scroll down facebook or Insta I just feel more miserable than before.

I just can't wait to get this cast off, skip forward to Ski season and move on with my life....

skiermanYeah you don't care so much that you felt the need to respond to mine and every other post in the thread. You're fucking pathetic.

Bad vibes
