I’ve thought about deleting my social media’s for a while, but I’m hesitant to make the jump.

A lot of my friends and I DM each other on Instagram, but don’t text, and use other social media’s to share similar things.

I don’t want to just remove myself from all social connections with my friends, but social media is really having a negative effect for me.

My pictures never look good enough to me. I never am satisfied with the amount of followers or likes. I’m constantly disappointed and I am pulled into being a “therapist” for others meanwhile I can’t even keep myself afloat. It’s overwhelming, and I can’t keep myself afloat.

How can I delete my social media accounts with out losing all connection? 

I figure I can at least start by deactivating, but I’d like to find some other apps that are less toxic that I could use to get a similar effect.

Any ideas, advice, suggestions, thoughts? Thank you!
