 Just deleted my comment idk why…unless youre addicted to a particular person (which I can get) I guess maybe you’re just feeling you want more social interaction? I use social media/nostr more on the days I don’t feel like going out or have been too busy etc with work at home. And barely use it when I am busy

 But I don’t think it’s too unhealthy in fact the opposite really because it might help people feel less isolated and bored sometimes 😊 but always good to have a balance and if it’s stopping you being productive or you freak it’s an issue, it’s good to be able to recognise that and make the steps to limit social media usage. The nostr meets ups are a good way to do some irl things

 One of the best things I can think of is getting stuck in to a project or hobby (one of mine currently working in music) so you have something more to discuss with people when you come back to a social media platform. Cos it’s more exciting to have something complete instead of half finished to tell people about 👏

 Also it’s positive that on a social media protocol, you’re less likely to be a target of toxic data harvesting etc and more likely to be in a naturally cultivated positive environment of your own making. With a variety of forms of communication to stimulate you eg  in posts/links/discussions and ability to communicate with people you might not have done before. So not all bad!
