What do you do all day that is so different? I use social media (and this website) to kill time. I have too much time as it is to do nothing/nothing to capture my attention, I don't need more of it just wishing I was doom scrolling on Instagram.

At least on this website I learn stuff periodically throughout the day.

I read (paper books) more, exercise more, started doing yoga more frequently. I've made it a point to call friends more too. At this stage in my life, time is at premium so I think we're in very different situations.

50%+ of my friend interactions are me staying in touch (text/ messaging) by sending them a funny meme from Instagram
