Critique Your Social Media Use for Its Actual Effect

Most people use social media for reasons that have drifted from what they would say if asked. You start using it to stay connected and find yourself scrolling for stimulus. Or you keep a work account for visibility and spend most of your time comparing yourself to peers. This is a short audit that makes the actual pattern visible and suggests one concrete adjustment.

I want an honest critique of how I am using social media and whether it is working for or against me.

How I currently use social media: [describe the platforms, the time you spend, what you mostly do on them, and roughly when]
What I tell myself it is for: [describe your justification or intention]
How I typically feel after using it: [describe honestly]
What I wish I used it for: [describe, if different from current use]

Tell me: whether my stated purpose and my actual use match, what the gap between them is costing me, the one behavioural change most likely to make my use work for me rather than against me, and one sign I should watch for that would tell me it is working.
