Am I California Social Media Sober?

Yes, my mornings are noticeably different already without all the Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok checking but am I really social media free because i still watch some YouTube? YouTube is different because much like this blog, no one knows me there. I rarely post anything and only make occasional, non controversial comments that generally get a like or two, so there is no pathetic checking to see what random people approve of me or my comments. Certain skin treatments will cause bad things previously unseen to rise to the surface, scab and fall off. This social media detox feels similar. There are little uncomfortable things surfacing daily that the social media mask covered and supressed. Today's mole is a feeling of vulnerability surprisingly. It's as if subconsciously I believed there was an actual support system there and it is now gone. So the pimples and moles from that are rising to the surface and becoming uncomfortable. But the promise of glowing, healthy skin helps me to navigate another day.
