[Heatman]

Social media anxiety can be a very serious problem for most people. It's something that's capable of making someone not have anything to to with using any social media platforms. It might be as a result of being abused online by toxic people or any other random things.

I don't even know about social media anxiety let alone having such. Nothing on social media can make me anxious as they are a lot of fake things on it

I've decided to reduce how much I use social media because I find that toxicity can get to me. Since I’m not constantly feeling my best mentally, I should avoid toxic stuff.

Frankly speaking, I don't get social media anxiety. Sometimes social media content influences my mood an mental state but I usually avoid negative content and also do not allow social media to influence my purchase decision.

Well, I don't get social media anxiety. I find social media usage relaxing. I browse the feed and try to bloc all negative content and watch and interact only with the positive content. I don't get FOMO feelings by using social media.

Quite easy, by just staying away from social media. I am not an avid user of social media in the first place, so it cannot have that kind of effect on me.

To manage my social media anxiety, I focus on quality interactions rather than quantity. I make it a point to engage only with content that aligns with my interests and well-being. If something triggers anxiety, I mute or unfollow it, and I schedule offline time regularly.
