There was a time I used social media for one thing:
š validation
ā
Posting something and waiting for the likesā¦
ā
Asking questions I didnāt really need the answers toā¦
ā
Starting conversations just so someone would reply.
I remember once asking for hotel recommendations for a trip I was going onā¦
I had no intention of booking any of them š¤·āāļø
I just wanted the interaction.
To feel seen.
To feel like someone was thinking about me for a moment.
And thatās the bit people donāt always talk about.
Social media isnāt the problem.
š Itās how youāre using it to fill a void within you
Iām not saying ādonāt use itā - clearly Iām here too, showing up etc āØ
But if youāre constantly seeking that little hit of reassurance, attention, or approval from othersā¦
it might be worth asking yourself:
š what am I actually looking for right now? š¤
And, if youāre struggling to find the answer, my 1:1 āValidate Yourselfā sessions will help you.
More info coming soon š¤
