TFW (that feeling when) scrolling makes you miserable. Yet you can’t stop doing it. We asked the experts how to spend time on social media and come away feeling better...
A few years ago, TMI on Facebook meant you saw too many pics of someone’s avocado toast. If only! Now your news feed is rife with emotional land mines, big and small; mass shootings, SCOTUS rulings, and envy-inducing promotion announcements. “New norms have arisen about weighing in. People may feel like they’re missing out if they stay quiet,” says Susan Krauss Whitbourne, PhD, author of The Search For Fulfillment.

Deleting all your accounts is probably not an option, so use these hacks to keep Snapping and double tapping and not feel like cr*p afterwards.
