I quit social media as a student. Why? I felt like it was wasting my life and wanted to see if I could make it without social media. Will it get me better grades? Will i be more happy?

The reality of social media today is a complex tapestry of connection, influence, and vulnerability. On the one hand, it has revolutionized how we communicate, allowing us to connect with friends and family across the globe, share our passions, and discover new horizons. However, beneath the glossy filters and curated feeds lies a darker side—a world of comparison, addiction, and privacy concerns. Many users grapple with the pressure to project a flawless image, leading to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Moreover, the constant barrage of information and the algorithmic echo chambers can skew our perceptions of reality and polarize our beliefs. In this digital age, understanding the nuanced facts of social media is essential to harnessing its benefits while safeguarding our mental well-being and privacy.
Navigating the realities of social media requires a discerning eye and a critical mind. It’s a place where authenticity can shine but often competes with carefully constructed personas. Users must be vigilant about the information they consume and share, as misinformation and echo chambers thrive in the digital realm. Privacy concerns demand a closer look at how our data is collected and used, prompting discussions about digital rights and online ethics. In this ever-evolving landscape, fostering a healthy relationship with social media involves striking a balance between staying connected and safeguarding our mental and emotional well-being, ultimately reminding us that the power to shape digital reality lies in our hands.

Dr. Andrew Huberman describes the dangers of social media on your brain. As a neuroscientist, social media is a dangerous tool to give you dopamine hits. But at the same time, how you can train your brain and mind to be more flexible and avoid the dangers. If you find you are spending too much of your day on social media scrolling endlessly, think about possibly doing a small dopamine detox.

Our New Year’s Resolution is to stop letting social media companies STEAL OUR DATA!
In all seriousness, we love social media for all the creative content produced and the democratisation of information, but these apps have been designed in a way that brings more harm than good to our mental and physical health.
So, what is the way to go? Should we totally stop using social media? Can we fight back against these platforms by being more mindful in our use, or are we too far gone with our addiction and reliance on them?
