I'm worried about how social media affects my mental health. Is social media bad for you?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Social media can be both good and bad. It's a way to connect with friends and family, but too much time spent on it can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and low self-esteem.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. What are some ways to use social media in a healthier way?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can start by setting limits on your screen time, taking breaks from social media, and following accounts that promote positivity and self-care. It's also a good idea to focus on real-life connections and activities that bring you joy.<|im_end|>
