I think a lot of the issues are from consumption more than sharing.&lt;p&gt;That being said I use to have a lot of engagement on my twitter account and I got to the point that posting would give me anxiety because of the possibility of negative replies despite whatever I said being mundane. Also watching others get &amp;quot;exposed&amp;quot; for certain behaviors gave me anxiety as a somewhat popular person in my social network. I wanted the engagement, but after I got it I found out it wasn&amp;#x27;t what I was expecting&amp;#x2F;wanted and stopped.&lt;p&gt;I guess I didn&amp;#x27;t really have a secret as much as just learned the hard way.&lt;p&gt;edit: couple hours per week*</text><parent_chain><item><author>gordon_freeman</author><text>I totally agree and understand what you&amp;#x27;ve said but sometimes I have this urge to let other friends and family members know which books I&amp;#x27;ve been reading or places I am traveling to etc. I used to do this on FB and IG before I did digital cleansing.
