What keeps you scrolling? Why do you spend so much time online?
in Psychology & Therapy ·
I’m leaning toward sitting this election out, mostly because I’m torn between pure apathy and genuine uncertainty. When I have nothing better to do, I end up scrolling online or chatting with people I don't get to see in person much—and honestly, some conversations are just easier that way. It gives me a second to actually process my thoughts before responding, rather than being put on the spot, and I don't have to deal with the awkwardness of turning red in someone's face when things get uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with my close friends in person, but life happens, and sometimes grabbing a coffee just isn't an option...
The internet lets you pretend to be whoever you want, but I don't feel the need to put on an act. I generally only talk to people I actually know, aside from the folks here on Reddit.
