Take a Break From Social Media

The first reason why you need to take a break from social media is that it can be very misleading. In the sense that you will think that you are doing something worthwhile while at the same time you are not doing anything at all.

2.      Mental health

Social media has the power to make you think that you are stuck in one place and that you are not moving forward in any way. With the many posts that you will see on your feed, it can be very misleading. People rarely post their failures and sad moments on social media, all that they post are their good times. Therefore, this can make you feel depressed.

3.      It can be very distracting

Most people will spend half of their time of social media living in virtual world and they will forget how to live in the real life world. That is why at times you will need to lay off social media so that you are able to appreciate the world that you live in.

4.      Social media makes you dependant on others

Social media also has the power to make you feel dependant on others for your happiness. Some people will start to focus more and more on what other people are doing and not on their own lives. Which can be very depressing as well.
