Why I Don't Enjoy Social Media

Hey everyone! It is Quinn again with another post. Yep...I don't really like social media.

Let me begin with a little disclaimer: I do not think social media is a bad platform or that people that use it are bad. In fact, I do enjoy seeing other people's content (for the most part), I just hate posting on it.

I am a pretty private person in my day-to-day life. I absolutely HATE the idea of having someone watching my day play out. I don't want people to know that I went to work, then to Target, and then hung out with my friend, Sarah. I would rather be the one to tell the story versus someone viewing it. I promise that when I say this, I am not looking for sympathy but I just don't feel that I matter in a way where someone needs to know what I did day in and day out. Think about it, do you ever get annoyed when someone is posting what they have done all day long and it is all so amazing?

My next point is I feel that social media is kind of fake (once again, no judgement towards people that use it). I get tired of the same stories over and over again about how amazing a person's life is. Of course, I am genuinely happy for people when good things happen to them. I am more talking about people who never let you see a negative aspect of their life. I'm not even saying they should share it, but it gets old when you are just hearing about how great their job is or what perfect shoes they just bought at Target yesterday.

Once again, I am not saying this to be judgmental of anyone but this is why I don't enjoy social media. Do you post a lot on social media? Let me know in the comments!
