Mute & Unfollow Buttons | Social Medias

Hye guys. Lately I've been overwhelmed with my social medias feed. I'm that type of person who will read every tweets, like every pictures in Instagram, read every captions people wrote, and watch every instastory people made. Phew. 

I know that most people will just skip their instastory and tweets and whatsnot, but I can't help it that I hate seeing those purple colour circle to people's instastory "You haven't watch me yet!" notification.

So I will ended up watching people stuck in the traffic, people having their mini cooking show, random selfies, and people showing off their foods, or sometimes boyfriend / girlfriend / husband / wife / children.

Don't get me wrong. I am someone who believes that social media is one of the way for us to share our feelings, keeping us sane or even a platform to train our creativity. I still believe in you are free to post whatever you want to post in social media. "If you don't like what I post, don't follow me."

That is true. However lately, these questions have been stuck in my head, "Do this information add value to my life?" And also, "Do I really care about this person?"

I know that sometimes we tend to follow someone in social media just for the sake of courtesy. Like what I did. Malays problem, I guess. Too polite to ignore. Just because that person follow us first, thus we need to follow them back. Or else, we are considered to be #sombong.

Nowadays, since I followed so many people, my feed is getting messier. I get overwhelmed with the people I followed. I barely know them. Maybe we went to the same school, or take the same course in university, but honestly, I never even talk to them in real life. #whybother So why did I follow them again? For courtesy.

Thank God I just discover the "mute post and story" button in Instagram and "unfollow but stay friend" button in Facebook. #lifesaviour I know I'm probably late, but I'm just thankful that I discovered those buttons.

You know as I get older, I'm looking for more content rather than your boyfriend videos or "I'm stuck in the traffic" instastory. If you are someone I care, of course I will not be that bother. But if you are someone I don't really know at the first place, why would I even bother to watch?! It doesn't add value to my life. But obviously I can't unfollow you in Instagram or unfriend you in Facebook right? #sombong

But I can also choose what I want to see now. #technologyimproved

Instead of talking bad about other people, "tu pun nak post" #membawang why don't we just save ourselves from these #dosakecil and just choose to mute or unfollow them. Remember, life is a choice. Choose positivity. Choose love.

Do yourself a favour. Start declutter your friends and followings. You'll have a simpler life. A happier life.

PS: I turn off my notifications button 3 months ago and my life is much more simpler!

Bye!
