Social Media is toxic

As you all know, social media isn't the best and most reliable source of information and it definitely isn't nice. So much hate is posted on social media and it disgusts me. The things people can say online but don't have the guts to say in person; the posts that people post that are either self-degrading, toxic, or just downright disgusting, and people like it- It's all so chaotic and I can't handle it.
Instagram is one of the most toxic apps I've ever seen, and I haven't even used it. You see videos of despondent influencers asking for help, with tons of likes but nobody willing to help them. You see people lying about literally everything: their bodies, their looks, their houses, EVERYTHING. It's just an app of lies and some people ACTUALLY believe it and end up thinking that they're not good enough because they saw some other people on social media LIE about how PERFECT their lives are! And even if you want to dispute the fact that it's a place of deceit, there's still so many other things wrong with it: one of the things being the people that use it aka GenZ.
I know it's kind of weird that I don't like my own generation, but I just don't like their attitude and the way they find weird, disgusting and disturbing things funny, or the way that they love to disrespect things that they don't personally find important. Of course not all GenZers are like that, but a lot of them are and they commonly have social media so I see them a lot.
It's obvious that social media can be corrupting, but these are just some of the reasons that I hate it. Of course there are some good things about it, but it's hard to find those good things. You can still use social media but please be careful when you use it and also be careful of what you post because it will always trace back to one person, you.
Thank you for reading and God Bless x
