All these people posting filtered, angled selfies with “OFF” scribbled on their hand for this digital detox, do they not see the irony of what they’re doing? Letting another stupid social media trend dictate their actions and behaviour?
The healthiest thing would be to stop yourself and ask “why am I posting another picture of myself? Why have I spent 20 minutes choosing which photo I look best in? Why have I written the word off on my hand that I’m now awkwardly trying to scrub off with a nail brush alone in the bathroom? Why do I need to announce to the world and participate in some big overblown countdown that I won’t be on social media briefly?”
The more people participate in these trends, the more power they’re giving social media. I just find it all so eye roll worthy, self righteous and bleeping boring tbqh. The best thing for people to do would be to learn to do things quietly without needing their actions validated by likes.
