Anxiety
I am new to 7 Cups! I am nervous to join this community, but also very excited to just be better in tune with my emotions and understand what I’m feeling. I’ve had a very anxious feeling over the past week and I think a lot of my Anxiousness stems from a lot of things, but I think mainly this week was social media. I think at one point being heavily invested in it took over my life. Just the other day I found out that a celebrity couple that I adored for the past year broke up and it felt like it had personally happened to me and I think that’s what made me snap into to reality and say this is getting to be too much you need to put your life first, re-invest this energy that you’ve spent into social media and keeping up with other people back into yourself. Today is day 2 of deleting my social medias and trying to reconnect and I just feel super anxious like I’m missing out on something. I find it hard to concentrate. I hope this community can help me grow and reinvest back into my own life.

Welcome to 7Cups!
It really is amazing how a person can become so emotionally invested in the lives of those beyond our the reach of our personal lives. Yet it's understandable too, especially if you find them or the challenges they're facing, either IRL or in the roles they play to be relatable. Still, consider that even if closely following the events as they're posted in their lives, it's still not possible to really see what's happening in their lives beyond what's being posted by publicists. In other words, in best case scenarios, it's a good bet that 90+% of their lives remains invisible to us.
With that thought in mind, maybe it can be easier to let go of something that's impossible to keep up with anyway.
I'm glad you're choosing to invest your energy into your present moment experiences.
