A realization about being overwhelmd with social media messaging, where even pebbling has felt increasingly difficult

I realized that the worst of my social messaging overwhelm has coincided with the general transition from images to reels for posts that people send to each other. 

      I am someone who already for my own social media use, rather than watching a million short videos, would rather watch one short video a million times. 

      Even if just three people send me a reel in a day, that doubles how much time and attention I would have spent on social media that day. 

      No wonder this is stressing me out and making me feel concerned and strained in even some most treasured relationships.
