To post or not to post? The real question is: How do you feel about it? Author Naomi Shimada reflects on the anxiety-inducing aspects of social media, sharing advice on how to step back from the shame, optics and echo chambers of the internet and untangle your self-worth from follower counts, likes and the unattainable perfectionism perpetuated online. (This conversation, hosted by TED curator Cloe Shasha Brooks, is part of TED's "How to Deal with Difficult Feelings" series.)

Don’t get your news from people who make a lot of money selling the news.
This will lead to you getting half-news, and look naive… also, focus on a hobby, and not internet nonsense all the time. A little bit is okay, but many people today are forgetting to get a hobby and live a life of fun interaction with the real world around you.

I love your videos! They’re amazing. Stay safe out there everyone!!
Most things are private… most things don’t need to be shared… why does your neighbor who has never been over for dinner or coffee to chat, need to know literally anything about you?
Just permanently delete your social media accounts. People ruin beautiful things. Make your life and love strictly private in order to stay happy. I’ve deleted my facebook 8 months ago and Instagram account in April 2021. I’m feeling good and I’ve found that I’ve plenty of time to look after my loved ones and take care of myself. ❤️
yup
I just took a social media cleanse and it was GLORIOUS. Sometimes you just need a break from all the noise online.
Sweet ❤❤❤
