Selena Gomez takes social media break
The most followed woman on Instagram. When you're ready, come and get it done. Is ready for a break. I'm going to be taking a second from social media because it's, this is a little silly. And I'm 30, I'm too old for this. Selena Gomez announcing on TikTok Live on Thursday, just one day after surpassing Kylie Jenner, as Instagram's most followed female, that she's stepping away from social media. I will see you guys sooner than later.
I just, I'm going to just take a break from everything. Smartphones are amazing. There's so many things they can do for us. But we need to make sure that smartphones are a tool that we use and not a tool that uses us. The Cleveland Clinic says stepping away from social media is good for our mental health and social health. But it doesn't have to be forever. The whole idea is that you're just more aware of it.
Selena's break coming on the heels of some perceived high profile cyber drama. In a silly, cute TikTok post, Selena shares she overlaminated her brows. Not long after, Kylie Jenner posts this screenshot to her story, essentially her and Hailey Bieber showing each other their brows, in an obvious attempt to mock Selena. Kylie Jenner saying in response, no shade towards Selena ever. Selena responding, it's all unnecessary. I'm a fan of Kylie. So how do you know when it's time to take a break? Well, according to the Cleveland Clinic, you'll know it's time to step away if you can't stop comparing, you start scrolling without realizing it, you notice you're annoyed by everything you see, you can't enjoy whatever you're doing without posting about it first, or social media just isn't fun anymore.
It might be time for me to take a little break from social media. No word on how long Selena plans on being away from social media. Perhaps she can join the growing trend of millennials and Gen Z are switching back to flip phones so that they are not constantly scrolling and they can detox a little bit. It takes a lot of pressure, I think, when people are constantly comparing themselves. Hey, we're doing something here. Oh, I'm sorry. But someone get this man a flip phone.
He needs the social media detox.
