And people look at me weird when I say I don't like using Instagram much. It's funny how a lot of my friends don't like facebook, generally anti-corp, pro-privacy but have no problem being on Instagram all the time.
a friend of mine once told me that it's hard for her to keep in touch with me because i don't use instagram. i told her i do use whatsapp and i know she uses whatsapp. she then explains how it's easy to tell everyone what's going on in your life by just posting it on instagram for everyone to see. there i realized we weren't really friends, but merely just drinking buddies. made me hate ig even more than i already did.
It makes sense if that's the level of contact ypu want, but yeah I would rather talk to someone one on one, or like my family has a group chat through text, I'd rather communicate like that than post my life on IG. The things I want to tell my friends about my life I don't usually want to post publicly.
