You don’t need to share everything about you all the time. There is nuance in privacy and intimacy between close friends and family.

Until we realize that, we will continue to learn this lesson over and over until it sinks in.

These are the steps we must climb.

You can have social media and still have a private life? Just don’t share everything on social media.

Wasn’t saying you shouldn’t have any

Outlined the current challenges we face, because the majority of people have not learned how to deal with it. Mostly because of difficult life circumstances and several addictive and mainstream implementations

we? i am fairly sure most people know how to use social media without being consumed by it.

Not everyone that uses social media is making a mistake.

Data brokers and people with experience with helping those affected by identity theft and cyberstalking will tell you otherwise.

Last, never said anything like that. You’ve completely misinterpreted and put in assumptions to my claim that there are problems and difficulties that many, if not most, still face regarding specific implementations of social media. That is, not social media purely as a technology or a concept, but as specific use cases, I.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (TikTok may be a stretch for social media in regards to traditional examples, but many still use it as such)
