It Could Make Way For New Friends
Some people have over five hundred friends on Facebook.
The likelihood of connecting with all of them is low.
Most people only connect on a regular basis with people who are in their immediate social circle.
Many connect only with family members, colleagues, and acquaintances.
You’ll also make way for potential friendships with people who share the same values and interests.
By focusing on creating quality connections in your life, you’ll start to focus less on quantity.
And that is more than okay!
They may start talking to you when you don’t want to talk.
While being curious is a normal human emotion, it may not be a healthy thing for your well-being.
You could also become tempted to compare your unadventurous life with theirs.
Things we see on social media are not always reality.
By focusing on living an authentic life, free from social media show-offs, your mood could improve drastically.
Some people spend a better part of their day looking at random posts from friends.
By cutting down on social media friendships, you’ll also put an end to distracting posts.
