&gt; measure what actions you take based on &quot;being connected&quot; that you feel improve yourself<p>I feel like, in general, something like facebook just makes my thoughts MORE negative in general.<p>For instance, I&#x27;m a member of some groups for different hobbies, and I&#x27;ve adopted a &quot;one strike and you&#x27;re out&quot; policy with regard to what people post to the group. If I find a post to be irrelevant to the topic at hand or in any way annoying -- boom, &quot;Ignore all posts from [user]&quot;.<p>I&#x27;m saying to myself, &quot;Hey stranger, you tried getting involved in the discussion by posting this, but it didn&#x27;t live up to <i>my</i> standards, and therefore I never want to see anything you say ever again.&quot;<p>While it&#x27;s relegated to facebook, I feel like having that kind of attitude in my life can&#x27;t be healthy.
