Some content should be avoided or ignored altogether because it is blatantly false, ego-driven and or merely spam or click bait.
To protect your peace here are the 2 things to do
Avoid the Sensational and Absurd
The sensational headline or absurd video are rampant online. People generate bizarre stuff using pictures and sensational headlines to lure you. The “this will shock you about supermarket food” or “the real reason why people hate grapes” or the “why rich people hate banks” titles with a photo (using a famous person’s likeness) you will find are usually junk.
The internet is inundated with junk content that is designed primarily as click bait to get eyes on another page or handle where the person that generated this junk is selling his or her services and is using whatever trending topic to get the clicks, conversions, and sales.
Sensational headlines, weird and absurd looking videos, rashly put together summaries, automated slides of other people’s content and any such low-quality content wastes time and you will find offers little to no value at all. It is a distraction that does not do much for you.
Work On You
Not everything will go as you expect in your life but, keep working on you. This may be something you hear all the time and probably ignore often but, it is important. You will not always be at this point in your life. Things will change if you keep working on you. People do change. The timing may vary but it happens.
Social media will make you envy someone you should actually pity. Avoid trying to look and be like what you see online. That life or person you see online is probably miserable, broke and hate their real life. Learn to like you.
Normalize being nice to you by making you better. Invest in your looks. Do it for no one else but yourself. When you look good, you will most certainly feel good. Add value to your life by learning a skill and use it to make life better for you. If you can use the same skill to make money, well and good but, those small efforts you make might just be the ones that change everything.
