I think I use social media pretty similarly to a lot of people my age. Most of the time, I find myself scrolling and watching what everyone else is posting instead of actually creating anything myself. It’s easy to fall into that habit because there’s always something new to look at—whether it’s videos, photos, or updates from other people. Before I know it, I’ve spent way more time consuming content than I originally intended.
I do enjoy seeing what others are doing and keeping up with trends, but sometimes it makes me realize that I’m more of a viewer than a creator. I’ll have ideas for things I could post, but I don’t always follow through with them. Instead, I just keep scrolling. I think social media can be a great space for creativity and self-expression, but for me, it often turns into more passive entertainment than active participation.
Overall, I’d say I use social media mostly to relax and pass time, even though I know I could probably get more out of it if I put more effort into making my own content instead of just watching everyone else.
