Feeling detached from SNS
If you read that title and understood SNS, you live in Japan or Korea. For the rest of the world, SNS is social media.
In my previous job as an English teacher, I had ample opportunities to check social media. Between classes or sometimes during my lessons I used to take a peep at my phone. It was a nice dopamine rush and fueled my fear of missing out. It wasn’t because I needed to look at it, it was more because I had nothing else to do and was bored. Nothing else to do during the lessons I was in charge of? lol.
But in my current job, things are quite different. I am enjoying my job a lot. Being active and performing the best I can. So I never felt the need to take a peep at my phone. I haven’t felt FOMO yet. I am definitely missing out. But I didn’t care as much as before.
It’s been more than two months in my new job. The more I work here the more detached I feel. This is certainly not a bad thing. It is refreshing. I don’t want to be that attached to social media. I like posting but I despise scrolling.
I have been using LinkedIn a lot more than before because of my job. I will probably use my activity on other apps and shift it to LinkedIn. Let’s see how it goes.
