Lady Amelia Windsor Quotes

Can I bond with people and live for 39 days without my Instagram account? Probably! But the real question for me is this: can I be happy doing that?

I think we are becoming more obsessed about getting a certain amount of likes on our Twitter and Instagram accounts rather than actually living a proper, real, honest and organic life.

Facebook is not the world.

I don't have a Twitter or a Facebook, but that doesn't mean I'm any more productive than the rest of the world.

I know what Twitter is; I don't use it. I don't use Facebook, so luckily, it does zero to my ego.

I think the whole aspect of social networking is vulgar and repulsive in a lot of ways. But I also see why it's appealing - I've had that little high you get from posting stuff online. But then you think, 'Did I need to say that?' I've explored that enough to know to stay kind of quiet these days.

If I had my way, the woman I marry, she wouldn't be a part of Twitter and she wouldn't be on Facebook.

On my Instagram, my boyfriend will take pictures of me, or someone else will take a picture of me, and they're like, 'What is wrong with her? She looks sick.' And I'm like, 'No I just don't have two hours of hair and makeup, you guys.'

It's not all Instagram worthy!

I take breaks from social media periodically because I think it is healthy to walk away and focus on the life that's in front of you instead of the life happening on your screen.

You go on Instagram, and it's just not a real reflection of what people do and how much pain people are in every day.

The kids are fixing their eyes on social media, and the stories they're looking at may not be the most important things. I'm guilty of that, too. Do you want to look at Instagram or the news? It's a difficult, and weird, situation.

Social media - It's not real life. I only caught the tail end of it in high school. It can be good, and it can be fun, but you can't let it get toxic.

Instagram influencers project a specific, highly crafted image of perfection - one that is largely white, thin, and psychologically Zen. Critics argue that this boom, in turn, has helped fuel excessive self-promotion in which we post about only the good moments rather than reality - essentially, a distorted echo chamber.

It's important to remember that what you see on Instagram is not reality. I find it hard to not be on my phone the whole time comparing myself to what I see on social media.

I think it's good to not edit your life too much, or you give people different standards.

Now that I have joined Instagram, I think I'm on it less than before. Earlier, I used to be there all the time. I'm enjoying it because it's where you have complete control on what you're putting out, as you want it. I don't feel there's a compulsion to be active.

I do have Instagram, but I try to avoid going on it too much. Some people are very good at how they use it, and they enjoy that interaction, but I want to be very careful.

Social media is always a highlight reel. I think it's about finding the right accounts to follow. There are so many refreshing ones out there to follow that will inspire you or make you feel better.

I see some kids whose social media is their whole world, and I actually think it's good to disconnect from that.

Especially with Instagram, I feel reluctant to make all the photos beautiful because I don't necessarily want to send this message that life is perfect and your avocado toast is always going to be beautifully lit. I want readers to feel like the Man Repeller page is real and kind of dirty. Messy.

I share a lot more than I ever really thought I would with friends, let alone millions of people, and it really started surface level for me: beauty, fashion, lifestyle, whatever.

I just don't do much social media. No, it is more important to strike a balance between ballet and real life.

I am not so old, but when I started out, we had none of this. We did not have the need to show the things we do and the good life we lead. That is dangerous. Social networks can be very positive because it's a great vehicle to communicate, but perhaps things need to be done in a different way.

Anyone close to me will be familiar with my frustrations with certain aspects of social media: the behaviour it encourages and attitudes towards the self it can breed.
