QUITTING SOCIAL MEDIA IS BETTER WITH OTHERS

Love this from Reconnect Stanford, on the importance of community:

One member of our community put it this way: being around others while trying to get off social media made what once felt impossible feel attainable. Without social media connecting them to thousands of acquaintances and mutuals, they could focus on the people who truly mattered.

Deleting an app or doing a “detox” is a start, but being a part of a community trying to attain the same thing is super helpful. Social media seeks to isolate us, so we need to intentionally do the opposite, getting back in touch with friends, hanging out, talking on the phone, making small talk.
