📱💭 Tip #4: Learn Scroll Control Let’s be real — navigating social media can be tricky. If you're not careful, it can start to affect your self-esteem, focus, and mental health. Here are the Seven Sins of Social Media to watch out for 👇 ❌ 1. Counting Your Likes Your worth isn’t measured in hearts or thumbs-up. 😕 2. Ignoring Your Mood Notice how scrolling makes you feel—then listen to that feeling. 📉 3. Comparing to Others Remember: people post highlights, not real life. 💬 4. Engaging in Conflict Online arguments? Not worth your energy or peace. ✨ 5. Airbrushing Your Life You don’t have to look perfect to be real. 📵 6. Using Addictively Too much time online = missing out on real-world moments. 📚 7. Neglecting Obligations If social media is pulling you away from responsibilities (or self-care), it’s time to check in. 👉 Use social media mindfully. Your well-being matters more than any app. May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
