Reasons for deleting insta

When I do delete insta, the only social media I have, it's always out of a couple of reasons.

1. Avoiding people on there (scared of what they'll text back, if they even will, or their stories/notes etc).

2. Avoiding people on there-

   1. -but in a different way

   2. their presence is physically hard but necessary to endure (unavoidable)

   3. and I don't need the constant reminder of them

3. Life getting a little hard, and don't need the distraction

   1. more peaceful that way

   2. feel free

   3. not obligated

   4. not tied down by it

   5. just freeing myself of extra worries so I can focus on things/the problems

4. At least for me, Instagram always created the effect that I felt like I had to stay updated, FOMO.

   1. And I wouldn't, and barely open the app. Maybe once a day, or a few times, for a few seconds. Or I would get fed up with it and not open it for days.

   2. I don't know, I have a love-hate relationship with it, which I will write about in another blog post.

Here are examples of each case:

Case 1. Risky text situation, scared what they'll text back/if they responding. Waiting for their texts. Fed up with the situation, so delete instead. This situation caused a lot of emotional turmoil. Needed a break from it, as well as anything that gave a reminder of them (that's how much it/they messed me up). Happened around October/November 2024.

Case 2. Can't not follow them, but they make me so mad that the reminder of them is horrible. Happened around December 2024/January 2025.

Case 3. SCHOOL AND PROGRESSION. April 2025.
