Hi @abigail-dantes, Nice to meet you!!! I am a psychologist with specialization in clinic. I am not currently exercising because of the country situation I dedicated to sales. I am happy to have found this article. The great influence that social networks have had on society is well known; however, we seldom take the time to reflect on how these consequences have acted upon ourselves. I identified with several points of your exhibition, just a week ago I was thinking about how I was affected by specifically entering Instagram, where I had mostly followed product ads or artists; When I finished surfing for hours I realized that I was awakening in a state of frustration and dismay to see so many things that I could not have or food that I could not enjoy or trips I could not do, etc. Obviously these effects depend on the personality traits of each, however, we must accept that if you are not attentive and you are not "stable" emotionally, this can be a negative contributor. In my case, because of the crisis in my country and the limitations that most of us lived, I was mistakenly taking refuge in something that did not contribute to my health and following users who contributed nothing beyond superficiality or consumerism. BUT we must highlight something: It is a blessing social networks and the benefits they give in many areas, if we decide to use them correctly. It is our responsibility to know how to use it; For example, I decided to limit the time I spend there and use it to act and think about how I can advance in other areas; start at Steemit and invest my time and knowledge in something more valued and productive. Follow people who add and do not remain; and motivating others through publications, because more and more people are looking for a refuge in their cell phones in the face of the frustration of what needs to be resolved inside and that we can cultivate with face-to-face relationships.
Thanks for your contribution! God bless you.

This is a very insight comment @mela88 :)
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us here. I don't feel there is nothing left to be added here :) You said it all: It is our responsibility to know how to use social media in a way that make us grow and not in a way that causes us distress. Also, as you rightly pointed out here, there are other healthier ways to address and try to resolve internal and emotional issues.
Nice to meet you too!
That's right, @abigail-dantes, sometimes we must go back to the natural of relationships to cultivate our being. A pleasure also for me. I will continue reading you! a hug
