I use social media to connect with far away friends and make new ones. I don't work outside the home so it's my connection to the outside world.
I use social media to keep in touch with family and friends as well as entering giveaways and sweepstakes.
The only social media I use is Facebook. I feel like it's the most useful. It keeps me up to date on news and what's going on in the world and let's me keep in touch with friends and family who I don't get to see often.
I use social media to keep up with family members.
Social media and binge watching my shows on streaming sites has been the only things getting me through this.
I use social media to stay in touch with family, to find giveaways, and to find deals, recipes and information.
I use social media very little. Mostly I get inspiration for crafts and cooking using Pinterest.
I would like to improve how active I am and how I cope with stress (or don't). I find that having goals in things that interest me and meeting them are satisfying to me and fulfulling. I find reading very fullfilling too because it always teaches me something.
I look at social media as a way of knowing how people that are on my friends list are doing as many of them do not return phone calls or texts as they always say they are to busy. If I message my friends on Facebook or Instagram however I always get a reply. I am feeling lonely and depressed and always exhausted even if I had enough sleep the night before. I worry all the time about catching the virus as I have no one to help care for me and am afraid of dying and leaving my parents behind as no one will care for them once I am gone. I never in a million years thought that the United States would have to deal with a situation this dire and hope that the scientists come up with a solution ASAP.
I'd like to have more energy. Perhaps that will improve as I continue to recover from back surgery.
I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed nd just ready to get back to work and return to some normalcy.
I use Social media to pass the time, see what's current & be entertained
I use social media to stay in touch with friends and family and to stay up to date on whats going on in the world
I'M TRYING TO REMAIN HOPEFUL DURING THESE TIMES. THIS TOO SHALL PASS...
While I do have accounts on social media, I don't really use any of them much -- they're really so that I have an account if I need one. I have started a new Instagram account for a niche photography hobby that I'm hoping will get me moving and out of the house more.
