Journal #9

I scored practically 0 on this social media disorder scale, my answers were no for everyone. I honestly don’t associate social media that much with my life that it is a hinderance. But to see that those are the questions and people do is scary. Because I don’t depend on the social media for comfort or to get myself out of a hunch. But I understand everyone has their ways of alleviating stress or things going on in the world. But social media is so toxic and negative more times than not it is best to not get too consumed in it. As far as gaming goes it is different than social media but essentially has the same affect. I saw it was mentioned at the bottom of the survey. It can be used as an escape and be categorized the same with withdrawal, displacement etc. Overall, I am a fan of social media in moderation but also I believe if mishandled or overused it is dangerous to anyone.
