Ugghh I feel like a complete bitch posting this but I can’t be alone in this. I know somebody who has completely subscribed to SNL and I can now see it in her posts. She has become very similar to her in how she posts what she is talking about the whole “woe is me” attitude. Anyways they just reposted today’s post saying how beautiful it was and all this shit and now I am having a hard time not being disgusted with this person and I really want to unfollow them. (I went to point out too I have NOTHING against people speaking out about their mental health issues and what not but when it starts to feel like they are only talking about it to justify their behaviours and almost get sympathy it becomes super cringy for me. One can talk about it but I don’t need to hear all about what your therapist, midwife, doctor said or see pictures of your crying about something)
Has anybody else had this? Sorry for the rant, I might just be PMS bitchy today
Are you close friends with this person? If you are, perhaps you can kindly point out the pitfalls of influencer culture. If not, it may be best to just unfollow. If it’s an acquaintance, you’ll still see em when you see em - they probably won’t even notice. If you don’t even know them personally, just unfollow without remorse. I’m finding it’s better to be ruthless in curating your SM feeds because it can be a tricky slope from mildly irritating to daily rage lol
This is the way. Curating your feed to weed out the bad noise is liberating. I have a couple of cousins on my IG that I cannot block but I can’t stand the annoying posts they make, multiple times a day. I put them on silent, or whatever that feature is and it’s wonderful not to have to see their ridiculousness while they are none the wiser lol.
Yes! This is the way. I’ve snoozed a lot of family and ‘friends’ for various reasons
If it’s on Instagram, they have a “take a break” option that mutes/hides a person for a certain amount of time, so you don’t have formally unfollow to get some immediate relief. 🩷
