Social Media

As I explained in the dark side of social media, it’s very much a double-edged sword. It’s fantastic for catching up with news from your friends all over the city, country, and world. You can research tattoos, learn skills, join groups and read reviews.

However, it can also lead to you feeling anxious and depressed. Comparing your life to others and feeling it’s not as good and that you’re missing out. Please remember most people make social media their highlights reel, and no one ever has their lives as together as they make out.
