I deactivated my Instagram about a month ago and I am now considering getting back on it. This time, however, I am deciding to unfollow everyone I do not know or haven't met before and only follow those that I do know. Before I would care about my follower count and how many likes I received on my posts as forms of social proof. I now realize that these views I had stemmed from insecurity and a need for validation. Is this the right way to go about it? Or should I just abstain from the app completely?
