Social media has made me feel even more depressed. Since childhood, I have faced rejection, isolation, and humiliation. This pattern continued through puberty and into my adult life, affecting me both socially and professionally. As a result, my mental health has been suffering greatly, and I have often felt incredibly lonely.
I turned to social media hoping to find a sense of acceptance and belonging, thinking it would provide a great opportunity to socialize. However, I noticed that people I interacted with online would unfollow or unfriend me without any apparent reason. This made me realize that I will never be liked or accepted. This realization has had a horrible impact on my mental health.
The constant cycle of gaining and losing connections has left me feeling more vulnerable and less understood. It has become a painful reminder of the struggles I've faced all my life.
