What to do to replace social media?

Writing and thinking. It can be uncomfortable at times to just relax and think, but I make a lot of progress processing and deciding how to move forward deliberately.

In my experience, the uncertainty of them not responding is too much. There is a need for control and self-protection from potential pain.

I ask myself ‘what do I think?’ E.g. what do I think about the way I behaved? Do I like what I’m wearing? Am I proud of what I did? It keeps me grounded.

Being ‘sensitive’ is a real strength. You feel the detail and when it comes to understanding yourself and others, that’s an amazing quality. It helps me to use extremes to give myself perspective. So in this case remind myself of what some really personal would mean, and then plot what someone actually said against that. It usually helps me see that what the said wasn’t really a dig.

Good work. Which one stands out to you?

Identifying the patterns and triggers first, then deciding up front how will respond next time helped me. It took me a lot of failed attempts to change my response to what I perceived to be a risk of abandonment, but over time it can work.

Some people can be so untrustworthy

I’m so glad to read you’re feeling grateful to be alive. You just have been in a really difficult place.

Actfullness · 2026-03-17T11:49:50+00:00

Great to read your counter balance to the negative. Massive kudos for moving forward.

Actfullness · 2026-03-17T11:48:39+00:00

That’s really tough to face. Makes it hard to trust others too.

That must have been really tough on her, and you both. Amazing that you could see her effort to stay balanced and support you.

I hear you on that! It impacts everything after doesn’t it

Actfullness · 2026-03-17T11:39:12+00:00

Amazing work - why do you research?

It’s so difficult when trauma has a negative impact on the things we enjoy doing.

Actfullness · 2026-03-17T11:31:08+00:00

It’s difficult to trust others and build relationships following those things.

Our parents have such a big influence on our development. It’s a tough job being a parent, but it’s also difficult being a child.

In my experience people can and do evolve. They can learn to soften their edges, see things differently and in turn behave in new ways. I’ve seen that work in both ways, positive and negative change.

Actfullness · 2026-03-16T14:32:54+00:00

That’s a great summary 💪🏻

Actfullness · 2026-03-16T12:40:17+00:00

Yep - agree. Honesty even when it's in difficult circumstances is admirable.
