For me, I realized that social media really messed up my tiers. I’ve been off IG/FB/Tiktok since early November and I think I had lots of people that I was TRYING to fit in the jacuzzi (or any higher tier) because of seeing their posts and stories. Now being off social has made me realize that there are plenty of “friendships” that really aren’t what I thought they’d be. Not in like a hard feelings way, but if someone is not interacting with me in some way outside of Instagram & I don’t have the strong urge to do the same thing, it’s helped me more appropriately categorize them. As much as I’d like to, I don’t actually have the time/energy/resources to be a really amazing friend to everyone I know. Same for them. And that’s totally okay! It’s been a big relief actually.
I have been thinking about this episode A LOT.
