Everyone uses social media in their unique way and there is no shame in evaluating your relationshi...ps with it. And it is also important that as you work through these questions, you are kind to yourself and understanding of how outside stress may be impacting your decisions online. If you find that your use of social media is making it difficult to carve out time for real, deep conversations and connections with your partner or loved ones, it may be time to get curious and explore why.
