Two more reasons to leave the world of digital appetizers
We shouldn't get tired of posts about resorting to a cave of solitude to escape the fast-paced life on social media. Reading on these topics should be a daily refrain, reminding the netizen that life on the other hand is slower, nicer and calmer.

| Abandon the world of digital appetizers |
Even if each post only offers a new perspective, or adds an example that made you believe in abandoning social networks, even if it offers a new elegant expression, it's all useful, it all reminds us that the life of digital velocity is a life not wanted. In this article I give two more reasons for this, which you may already know if you've always been trying to isolate for a while, but repeating them will make you closer to doing it again.
more bored
One of the advantages that comes with giving up social media is more time to get bored. boring? Isn't that a negative thing to escape from?!
no. In our fast-paced digital world, distraction has become the default choice for our time of solitude. Whenever there is a bit of a wait, we eagerly receive our phones, and no one is to blame. Millions have been spent on increasing the “craving of phones” through algorithms and digital appetites!
When the boredom dissipates from your life, you will lose that ability to sit alone and think, to think about yourself and your surrounding world, this thinking that makes you categorize your thoughts and experiences, arrange their good and bad, mix what you have been through in the recent period into something consistent with the values you believe in. Boredom and isolation make you a better human being.
The boredom I'm talking about is the one that comes when you feel a dose of fear of sitting alone with your head and thoughts, and I don't mean the boredom that comes after watching Episode 7 in a row of a series on Netflix! It is the original boredom that will push you to do new useful activities, as if you felt hungry, wouldn't you care about the increase that he fills?!
worry more
You think about what you pay attention to, and in the digital world, news spreads in one day that you may not be able to read even if you devote your whole life to it! What the algorithms do is they filter out some of that news for you, especially one that they know, through history, is of interest to you.
Your brain will try to understand what is going on around it, trying to understand the nature of the news and its background, it will consume part of its logical abilities in that, and then after that, do you want it to shut up about a story of injustice, a provocative event or a heinous crime? He will be emotionally involved in all of these events.
The result is that you will occupy your mind, your logical and emotional resources will be exhausted, and you or your family may not directly touch most of these events at all.
Twitter, for example, is a scary world. Do you pay attention to the culture of anger that escalates with the proposed trends? It is a scientist who chooses a criminal every day, tries him with the most severe punishments, and a group comes out from behind the criminal to defend him.
It is a world that celebrates a person every day, making him a symbol that roses are thrown without his sandal, then a group of people who hate him emerge from behind that hero, and they tell his old past and his heinous behavior, so the followers and supporters are killed, digital dust rises, and digital blood is shed!
Have you found a regular Twitter user who is happy with what's out there?
Ok, I'll come to a mountain without me, I'll come to Instagram, where the goats post pictures that please the eye of the melancholy beholder, and pictures of people's quiet lives are published and filtered.
Well, that also increases anxiety, when you see that so-and-so's life is coordinated and romantic and quiet, won't you worry about yourself, as you struggle even to adjust the ABCs of your life?
Neither here nor there, stay where you are, live your own world, the world of the people you know, friends who are busy with the upcoming exam, your parents who are preparing for the return of their relatives from abroad to celebrate them. Stay with them, this world is more predictable, slower, and definitely much better.
