This cannot be overstated. This is has 100% proven true for me.

I am not proud of this, and think this is one of my bigger flaws. I am an anxious person, I worry a lot. A man should be couragious, and sadly, I am not (yet..there is still time to prove otherwise.)

I can say with certainty that social media and more generally the internet 10x the amount I would wrestle with. The weeks after abandoning social media I noticed an huge improvement in my disposition.

I encourage my family and friends as often as I can, without being annoying, to leave these things behind (mostly social media, not the internet necessarily)
