I don't post or scroll like I used to, but I still use it enough. Mostly, I scroll through my "most recent" newsfeed when I'm bored.Becky Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137408537369933534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-32492391224230678222016-05-26T07:21:24.566-05:002016-05-26T07:21:24.566-05:00I deactivated my Facebook a few months ago.

My pics are both boring and not professional in comparison to all those I follow.

I try to not access FB on my phone unless I'm completely bored in a doctor's office or something. I check instagram maybe once a day if that, and try to limit it to 15 mins. All of it can be very addicting and can pull you into comparison if you let it. I think you have the right idea! :) Cara (Kindly Unspoken)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05646839632185816703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-34073113939937724312016-05-25T15:30:23.935-05:002016-05-25T15:30:23.935-05:00i only have instagram and snapchat on my phone. i ...i only have instagram and snapchat on my phone. i don't really care for twitter, and i used to be obsessed with facebook. a year or so ago i deleted everything from my phone because i was always on it, and then i slowly added things back. i used to check my instagram every 5 minutes, now i check it for more like 5 minutes a day. i only have facebook to talk to my friends/family at home, i deleted everyone else. i don't touch my phone when i drive (i know i shouldn't have been before, but i did, so there you go) and never when i am with other people (unless it's to take a photo of said people). i think you have to find what works for you.<br />as for that group... i agree with you on the setback/fresh start every monday. that's odd. i do hope you find a better group for your needs or wants!Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-22301441848086820592016-05-25T13:05:38.527-05:002016-05-25T13:05:38.527-05:00I COMPLETELY agree that IG needs to have a "h...I COMPLETELY agree that IG needs to have a "hide" function. I mean, aren't they owned by Facebook? You can hide people's updates on Facebook, they should let you hide people from your main IG feed too. I've ended up unfollowing a bunch of people because I can't just hide them, and while I'm glad I don't see their updates anymore, I'd like to be able to look at their feeds SOMETIMES, when I'm in the mood.<br /><br />I'll join you in creating that support group...!!!Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-88088534752069002572016-05-25T12:54:30.191-05:002016-05-25T12:54:30.191-05:00I have my password for Twitter saved on my laptop ...I have my password for Twitter saved on my laptop so I never have to remember it. <br /><br />I like IG but keep all the other non-book related social media off my phone.

So if I'm not going through the app or my computer where it's saved, I'm not getting into it. <br /><br />I can always feel like I've had enough of a particular form of SM and I put the phone down. I don't have a time limit or a plan.

That sounds like what you are doing, which is great. I think we all have different joys, dislikes, tolerances for various media forms. Working out what works best personally is the best thing we can do for all of us.Erin of TexErin-in-SydneyLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744003004126232764noreply@blogger.com
