I quit IG and Snap for a year.
I started to disengage with Instagram, I just started hating it and would redownload it just to talk to my friends who didn't use iMessage. I then just quit it as a whole. Snap been dead since 2018, so I just really stopped using it and quit it as a whole. It was hard leaving, because it was a reality where I could post and do anything in my reach. I feel like social media is a step away from reality, and people become glued to it because its our everyday need. Youtube, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, millions of people use these apps to broadcast their "lives" and their "realities" and in reality, its just to show others how they want to percieve of them. Wlh, I got tired of just posting because I was like whats the purpose, whats the goal, and whats the point? I use Twitter, and I use iMessage, but I do not know if I will come back to those two apps. I feel like with IG and Snap you have to post or else your going to have this mindset that you didn't reach your goal of the day. Which sucks, because it happens to everyone, the views don't matter and I wish I could tell myself that before it was too late.
I would say, don't quit it, but just take breaks from time to time. Once you quit, and you delete your account, there's no way you will be able to get your account back, and you will regret it.
