...Socials?

Social media is part of our daily lives...
...and comes with many advantages...
...like staying connected, sharing experiences, and discovering new ideas.
But sometimes...
...it’s important to pause and...
...ask youself:
Is social media really healthy for me and my relationships?
Don't misunderstand us: We’re not sick of social media itself!
We are sick of the toxic elements it amplifies like...
...the racism disguised as opinions...
...the relentless hyper-sexualization for clicks...
...the glorification of harmful lifestyles...
...the endless promotion of platforms like OnlyFans...
...and the manipulative algorithms that keep many of us scrolling...
...far beyond healthy limits.
So Sick Of Socials isn’t about banning social media...
...it’s about encouraging a healthier usage.
Because sometimes...
...it's better to be Sick of Socials than...
...to get sick yourself.
