I am sure most of you may find their mood affected after the instagram or the socail media watching session. I noticed that watching travel or food or some of the similar glossy things would lead to depression.

Is it just me who experienced this?

I don't watch anything on any social media sites that's going to cause me any emotional or psychological problems. I try as much as possible to filter the kind of contents that I consume online for the good of my sanity.

I try as much as I can not to be affected by what happens on social media. I believe that time is coming when a lot of people will celebrate victory. This is something that keeps me going daily.

My mood have never been affected by whatever I watched on Instagram or any other social media. Whatever I don't like, I will not watch or follow the page. It gives me control over what I see. I've never been depressed with using Instagram.

I stay away from some social media platforms because I wouldn't want to be in that position where I am comparing my life with others. So, I try my best to avoid image based platforms such as Instagram.

Watching instagram posts almost always improves my mood because I follow comics and some funny videos. There is this one with a cat which is zoning out of existence. xD
It is looking at another cat. It is just funny..
Chatting with people also boost my mood because, surprise surprise, they also send me funny videos. xD

Yes, my mood definitely changes after scrolling through Instagram. Sometimes I feel inspired or entertained, but other times I catch myself comparing my life to others and feeling a bit down or anxious. It’s crazy how just a few minutes on the app can shift how I feel. I try to follow more uplifting or educational pages now to keep it positive.

Yes, many people find their mood changes after watching Instagram. Scrolling through polished images, ideal lifestyles, or negative content can trigger feelings of comparison, insecurity, or even sadness. On the other hand, uplifting reels, funny clips, or motivational posts can improve your mood and provide a quick mental boost. The emotional impact often depends on what you view and your current mental state. For example, seeing travel highlights when you're feeling stuck might bring frustration, while watching pet videos could lift your spirits.

All social media platforms where I am active, and not just Instagram, does not alter my mood negatively. That's because I stay away with negative news and posts. I use social media to lighten up. Yes, I do come across disturbing posts but I immediately scroll and avoid wetting my hands.

There was once a time where what i watch on social media tend to affect my mode but it doesn't anymore. I just watch it for fun and don't take it to heart.

I don't allow anything that I watch on social media to cause depression for me. I have known so much of social media to know that people wear a mask when it comes to the things they post on social media. Only very few social media posts are real.
