How To Reduce Anxiety on Social Media As a Creator
In this monologue, the creator shares personal struggles with anxiety caused by an influx of direct messages (DMs) that include pitches, requests for help, and constant noise from a vocal minority. The speaker explains how the loud, frequent complaints of a small group can distort perception, making it seem like the entire community is negative. To combat this, the creator outlines concrete tactics: muting nearly 2,000 accounts and blocking over 2,300, which they describe as "beautiful" for mental peace. They also recommend broader coping strategies such as turning off the phone, stepping outside, and remembering that online stressors are not real-life threats. The overall message encourages creators to set digital boundaries and use offline activities to reduce anxiety.
