Whilst I totally agree that the stuff you see on instagram and TikTok etc is terrible for you., I disagree that self improvement in itself is pointless.
You’ve hit the nail on the head from the aspect that watching hours and hours of social media content will do absolutely zero for you, it’s often vague, unrealistic and not an accurate reflection of the reality of life. However, if all a person is doing is watching videos, then they’re missing the point. Self improvement requires iterative, non linear action. It requires living, not observing, and the social media algorithm requires you to observe more and more, which prevents you from actually experiencing anything.
So yes, ditch social media, but don’t given up on self improvement!
