If someone as accomplished as Scarlett is avoiding social media because of the feelings it generates, it's a lesson for the rest of us.

She nailed it, you feel like your missing out on something, you start comparing your life with total strangers or even jealousy creeps in....bad for your mental health.

[blurrcs]

Honestly, I applaud her for her decision. I avoid social media for the same reasons. It’s way too toxic, easy to get misinformed, and addictive.

[lttlbrds]

Relatable af. Saddest part, most of what people portray on social media is fake, that perfect life is always fake, yet people become jealous of happiness that does not exist

[lindsaymorrison]

We're all too fragile and anxious to be on social media. She just had the self-awareness, independence, and wisdom to realize it quickly and get off no matter the peer pressure

[mathewwright]

It's impressive that she had the self awareness and self control to contemplate all of that and stop it right away. Kudos.

Not being on social media is one of the best things you can do for mental health other than, you know, seeing a therapist and taking any meds you need. Would highly recommend.

[kristinrutherford]

always admire the ones who aren't on social media

That ladies and gents is called wisdom

[DoctorGalina]

I love how she says "I'm fragile" again and again but it comes off not in a negative weakness kind of way but more in a positive assertion way, as if between the lines what she's saying is: "I know my limits, I prioritize my mental health, and this is the boundary I have." What a smart and wise woman!

I gave up FB over 2 years ago.
It was a total waste of my time & my mental health was suffering because I was absorbing & internalizing so much controversial sh*t.
Now, I just watch happy stuff on Youtube every now & then😊
I feel so much better.🤗

Damn. Scarlett Johansson thinking this guy has it better, and "my life is boring/empty/unaccomplished compared to this guy or another" is just gold.

SCARLETT JOHANNSON dropping Wisdom in this Short. x!

[thetaxaccountant]

Scarlett is a real one. Imagine being her and feeling like this.

[dontgiveupplz]

The actors that don’t have socials are the real ones

[viperrecords]

As a person who’s never had Facebook insta or any other social media, I can see how toxic it can be for others and I’m so glad I never did that to myself.

[Goldengurl]

I did this 4 years ago and I'm mentally so much better!!! I agreed 100% with her. Social media is so bad. My only social media is YouTube. But I cannot take the other social media cuz I'm like her.

[denisecatlett]

I agree. I have anxiety as well and I worry that I don’t have a social media presence sometimes. Whenever I think about posting something I say to my self “ 20 years ago would I have shared what I’m doing with a virtual stranger” No, why would I do it now.

[beeshippiemusica]

Staying off social media is the best thing you can do. You're living in the present, living YOUR life and only living up to your expectations, not someone else's who is probably not even real.

Thank you for being so vulnerable!! I can't be on Facebook because everyone's life seems too perfect. It's very depressing!!
