That's your gut calling, trust it.

Yes. Social media is purposely designed to be addictive and it messes with your brain chemistry.

In the absence of external validation apps, how will you gain internal validation?

Wtf is wrong with people these days using social media for validation? - thats what women do.

Use it like a tool the same way you would alcohol, caffeine or any other substances where it helps you or boosts your abilities to accomplish goals. Be conscious of yourself while you use it so if you feel like you are on it to make yourself feel better or validated instead of using it to increase your results you are like an alcoholic drinking to escape pain rather than some cool guy drinking to have a more fun life.

Fuck this bullshit hacker culture, shit like this is great at boosting validation once you are secure with internal validation but with out it you're building yourself up with no foundations and once you fall the contrast of going from high to low will be painful having nothing of real and logical reinforcement to land your worth and self esteem on.

Real men get validation from real shit like accomplishments and assets that hold value in society.

Yeah. That's me right there. I personally think social media brings anxiety and perfectionism in myself. It's fucking everuone up. Better self confidence can laid you faster than any social media.
