Am I Too Social?

There a somedays where I feel like I have way too much going on.  Surely I am not the only person in the world who has days like this.  The problem is that I feel like I am the reason I have these days.  It’s like I bring it on myself because of all of the things that I get caught up in.  This got me to thinking and wondering if maybe I am just too social.  I mean not only am I active an social in the community, but also in online communities as well.  Is too much of a good thing a bad thing?  Or is it just time that  I learn how to disconnect for a little bit from all the things that I do including social media and other social things.

This morning I logged onto Facebook like I do every morning and I felt a heavy burden on my shoulders.  I was not too sure why at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized, Facebook is almost like a chore now.  It is something that I do out of habit not because I want to.  And that little red notifications reminder just stares at me saying, “look how many people you have to respond to or ‘like’ what they said.”  Ugh, can I get a break.

Just like Facebook, Pinterest is becoming more of a habit than something fun to just waste time on.  I see those craft and do-it-yourself pins that I pinned to a board and I realize how all I do is waste time pinning so I will never actually get those things done.  Nothing will get created, none of my recipes made, and it is just too much.

And don’t even talk to me about blogging.  Now it just seems like it is a chore that I really do not look forward to, and that makes me a little sad.

Maybe I am just stressing out for no reason.  Or am I?  I just think that all this social media has got all my time a energy tied up and I cannot get anything done at all.  It is time that I get my things in order and put off social media for a little while so I can find some peace.  After all, life is far too short for you to live with a burden like keeping up with all of your former friends from high school, right?
