"Contagious" by Jonah Berger talks about how anger and anxiety makes people share memes. I find that Facebook and the organizations that use it are NOT interested in my mental health. They're interested in triggering my sharing response.
I quit FB and my mental health improved.
I don't mind using Goodreads because Amazon and I have the same goal: they want me to buy and read books, and guess what? So do I.
- tzakrajs 9y agoI also have experience a drop in my basal anxiety since cutting out Facebook. I also learned, since being gone for a month or so, that many of those people aren't really interested in talking with me if it takes leaving the Facebook ecosystem. They can stay. Good riddance to all of it.
