Hozier Quotes

Social media can be so damaging.

Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home, and that's where the problem starts - because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them. They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views.

Don't take social media seriously. Don't buy into the hype.

I love social media. There are a lot of benefits, and it gives us a platform for what we want to become, but there's always such a negative tone to it. You see a picture, and the first thing you see or think is a negative comment.

While I am very grateful for the role social media plays in my ability to interact so personally with my fans, I also see time and time again how it negatively affects social relationships of the younger generation.

This whole social media scene makes me sick.

I deliberately decided not to go on Twitter. I've read about how much stress it can cause. I don't think it's healthy.

I never finished looking at Twitter happier than when I've started looking at Twitter. And it's not because of abuse or anything. Even just refreshing what people are saying about you, I don't think is a healthy way to kind of perceive yourself.

I've seen the negative impact social media can have, particularly on younger players, who grew up with Twitter and Instagram as an integral part of life.

Social media can really just be a terrible thing sometimes, and people don't really understand that.

Social media has been such a big platform for my success. But it can also be a toxic place.

I try not to read the social networks too much. I find that way madness lies.

With Instagram and Twitter, you're constantly looking at other people and comparing yourself to them, and it's just not beneficial. There is always going to be someone skinnier or prettier or with better skin, and that same girl you're looking at is comparing herself to someone else.

When I get online, there's this cycle of anxiety and narcissism that takes over, which is the part of me that I like the least.

Facebook and Twitter are like a horrible digital plague.
