And one of my group chats is like of all my close friends who I used to follow on Instagram. But plot twist of some kind: the way that I stay in contact with a lot of my friends now is through group chats. And for me, it was like this, like effective, like, oh, my life sucks because look at these beautiful lives. And I feel like, you know, we've over time, we've kind of learned, obviously, about how Instagram and, you know, visual social media can do this kind of thing or have an impact in this way of.īen: Validation and self-worth, those kinds of things. And as I was sort of focusing on my young family, I started to find that Instagram was not that fun for me to look at, because what, what kept happening to me is I kept feeling kind of bad about myself because I was watching all of these amazing things that my friends were doing. ![]() You know, I stopped seeing a lot of my friends is often I stopped traveling as often. But what I did, you know, when you when you have kids, you go into this kind of baby bunker sometimes, which is kind of what I felt like I was in. That was a decision I made because I want them to have control over their own data. Instagram all of a sudden got somehow very sad for me.īen: So I decided not to put my kids on social media. And I'll say that like so when I had my kids. Sort of a normal, maybe slightly old fashioned, but normal social media instinct. ![]() And as we are all geographically separated, I will understand and know what they're doing and that will give me great joy to watch what they are doing and what's happening in their lives and stay connected. I will follow my friends on this platform. Quincy: So the reason I got off, and I was on Instagram a fair bit and I think it was like, you know, it makes sense that Instagram is owned by META now, because of like my sort of entrance to Instagram was very similar to my entrance to Facebook, which is like, oh, like I have friends here.
