Social media is like alcohol, enjoy it for what it is and don't abuse it.

If you become hooked don't be surprised when it's a net negative in your life.

I found my withdrawal from social media and alcohol was very similar. The difference is that there is no one tinkering with alcohol’s chemical composition to make sure it is configured just to fit my personal body chemistry.

Social media has a bunch of really smart people whose only job is to make it personally addictive to me specifically.
