Hahaha, not as deep as the title seems but yeah.
I live with my partner and I’ve been deep into making these changes to live a more digital minimalistic life for a couple of years. I don’t have the major social media platforms, don’t watch short videos, all that jazz.
But what I’m finding hard sometimes is that my girlfiriend who lives with me, still uses social media live everyone else, she’s constanlty on TikTok at home, when we’re watching movies she glances at her phone multiple times. You know, the usual from an average social media user.
That has been concerning me a bit, with all I’ve been seeing/doing against social media, how do I approach it to her without it feeling like I’m doctrinating or just lecturing her? I did try communicating with her about it in the past, but since the feeling to drop social media came from me, and it was not something that she naturally felt, her efforts in the past to drop it didn’t last long and she went right back at it.
Did you guys ever face a similar situation? Or have any advice on this matter?
