I think a lot of people lack the ability to just walk away from things that involve their ego. Giving up on social media in the midst of an argument or an emotional battle feels like an admission of defeat, both to ourselves and to those with whom we are struggling. Walking away, however, reminds us that everything looks small when viewed from a distance. Removing ourselves from social media gives us perspective on what we once thought was so important, which in turn unburdens the ego from having to worry about it.
