I’ve spent too much time on Instagram just doom-scrolling. And really, I’ve tried multiple ways to stop this. Instagram time limit, an app that locks your phone, even tried deactivating the app — you name it. But over time, I realized the problem isn’t social media itself. The need to connect, share, and express ourselves is deeply human, and social platforms do fulfill that. The real issue is the overload. Every day, we scroll past thousands of posts, tweets, videos, and stories. Some make us laugh.
