I Quit Social Media for a Year
I used to use Twitter. My country&#x27;s political news and related commentary usually got me into a mental state of frustration and misanthropy.<p>I deleted Twitter. Political news still frustrate me but I rarely see them anymore. Ignorance is bliss. I&#x27;ve effectively created a safe space where political idiocy can&#x27;t cognitively harass me.<p>Is it wrong to be so uninformed? I don&#x27;t know. I think a lot about it and I haven&#x27;t come to a satisfactory conclusion. By being uninformed I&#x27;m somewhat unable to fight against the &quot;wrong&quot; opinions, but maybe if I was informed my opinions wouldn&#x27;t change a thing anyway.<p>My mental health is better off just accepting any idiotic laws my country passes instead of trying to &quot;protest&quot; (in the most useless sense of the word: tweeting about it)  against them, for the most part.
