Being off Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter sometimes makes me feel like I’m missing out on something, like being there would make me happier or more connected. But then I realize that I’m not feeling unhappy or disconnected. Even more, I feel much, much better after getting rid of things that made me glued to my phone. It just feels too good to use them; they can’t be beneficial to my mental health if they feel so dopamine-inducing.
