I have been very connected over the past 2 years, growing a coding focussed Instagram to 100K followers. The past 6 months I have radically stepped back and boy do I feel better.
For me the issue was the drip, drip, drip of every social cause there is. I care and an empathetic about all of them but seeing a mention of x, y and z every few minutes gets wearing. You feel like you can't enjoy things.
My over active brain churns on the topics constantly, looking at all sides and view points regardless of if I want to think about the topic.
Far from being a highlights reel of other people's lives social media has become a reel of everyones opinions (positive and negative on every topic and social cause/injustice) and it's exhausting.

- theGnuMe 3y agoRight but you are on the sell side and not on the buy side. Growing your 100K followers requires work and requires you to stay up to date and follow the market. But you are right, the buy side of it can be exhausting outside of your niche. Especially if it isn't giving you anything back.
