mm i feel u but i want a explanation
lmk what u think abt social media!!
My bitterness truly stokes from when smartphones first came and people around me stopped being social when we were together in recess and such, and then I jumped late on that wave due to my parents not allowing me any social media before I was 14, and it basically resulted in me being more online on games like these (they are like close to the same to me, don't explain my logic. Probably because many of us still played the same forum game and hung around the same stuff.) to try to overcome how lonely it had made me irl. So yeah. Most of what social media is now a day are just advertisements. I mean it makes me so annoyed when I see people I know IRL advertise things. Like if you're an "influencer," maybe it makes sense but now I'm like, this is basically what an influencer does, the only change is that it's someone I know. And I also am having a big crisis with my bookstagram - which features books - but it's basically one big book advertisement and I don't want to advertise stuff!! Like it doesn't work anymore. I don't know what to do.
