Yes social media is very toxic nowadays. I almost wish those early days of social media with the ‘fake positivity’ (my term not yours) would come back!! The gratitude and love and “blessed” etc It seems these days those are just hashtags for social media influencers. Ugh
I mean, or just some empathy, consideration, or a moment of pausing before responding. I saw a guy attack a friend of mine today, someone who spends her time calling out false claims made by “wellness influencers” about what some of their essential oils, supplements etc can or cannot do, and he blasted her because she had the words “wellness” and “influencer” in her bio, and that’s all he saw. He said “I hate wellness influencers” and meanwhile she’s trying to hold these people to account for the things they’re saying. People are just triggered and they attack and it’s exhausting.
