I think many of us feel more alone than we ever have in our entire lives. When you log onto your social media, you see all your friends and family spewing hate, posting NONSTOP outrage posts, CANCEL (insert person here) or trying to condescendingly educate you. No matter what you do, it sometimes feels like you can’t escape the negativity, high horse riding or nonstop virtue signaling. Outrage is the new norm. Every moment of every day our media feeds us more and more of it, pushing humanity into a frothing mouthed frenzy.
For me, I have been alone on a mountain with my husband since my surgery this past January. I haven’t seen a single friend or family member outside of my husband for almost 6 entire months. I LOVE my husband, but I have never felt such a need to feel connected with those I love. It has become increasingly more and more difficult to feel tapped into those I need most. I had to mute them all! NONSTOP political posts, NONSTOP spewing hatred at Trumpsters or Demoncrats. NONSTOP bullying and dispicable behavior as far as the eye can see. I miss the people I love very much. I miss us all behaving a hell of a lot better than this. I truly believe locking us in our towers and letting politics control our news has made society lose their minds. I used tweet delete to swipe my twitter clean and have no desire to engage in politics. In fact, I believe twitter is the source of the evil. Mentally, it is destroying me. I know I am NOT alone in this feeling!
I sell Avon. I use ALL my platforms to do so. I am a saleswoman and I enjoy what I do. I quit entertainment more than 5 years ago and I am not a celebrity political activist. I am an Avon Lady. I have no desire to condemn or preach to anyone, anywhere….EVER. I miss civility and sanity. I feel the meaner or more outrageous and destructive you are, the more you are publicly rewarded. Everyone is getting their fix from posting things and trying to go viral with nonstop outrage…instead of connecting with each other and showing love. I shut off all media. I refuse to have this narrative pushed upon me anymore.
You aren’t alone in this. I promise to make all my little facebook live streams as upbeat as possible and am committed to not preaching a single thing to anyone. I think we have all had our fill! Many of you tune in not to shop, but to just hang out…so I would like to remain steadfast in providing some reprieve to all of this!
Love exists….but for the most part, not on the internet! lol

I decided to do the same thing at the beginning of the year. I am devoted to just posting positive or funny things or thoughts on my social media. I’m willing to discuss current events with anyone in person, but my social media posts will no longer be used to make people unhappy.
Yep you’re right. Feeling alone and social media is insane when it comes to politics. I just can’t believe how much hate people have towards one person. I do my best to ignore it but it’s hard when I see so much violence and nothing is done about it. I feel I need to stand up towards these people but in all honesty they could care less about my feelings. Thank you for this post.

I thank you for your honesty… like you I agree social media is awful. I do not read comments unless it is positive. First sentence and I am peace out as it usually starts from beginning. Thank you for introducing me to Matt and his gaming stream. I am a nerd and he is a lot of fun to watch. Between the two of you… you have made this lock down more enjoying and love the fresh prospectives you two bring! keep being assume! 😊
This this this this this!!! Thank you for this!! I wish people could try to be civil and listen more, rather than just yell. It doesn’t help anyone. Conversations are supposed to go both ways, not be monologues used to harangue and beat others down. Everyone has a different perspective and different experiences.
I quit social media years ago. Can’t imagine that poison seeping into my life right now, on top of the nonstop media blitz. Thank you for your blog! It’s always nice to find likeminded people to help us feel a little less alone, and I’ve found one here!
I was stumbling around one day and saw you put on make-up. I had no idea who you were!!! I have tried to catch all you Lives and now am an avid Avon user.
I love your sense of humor, your outlook on life and there have been a few things that you have said that have really resonated with me.
I just started watching ATM!
You keep being you!!
Thanks! At least someone is bringing something positive online.
Hello, I sent you a message on Facebook. Now I am here commenting because you don’t like dick pics (I don’t fault you). Guess what? I don’t have a dick and just have a few questions about log home living.
I admire you so much! I’m so proud of you for putting together the right life for you that makes you happy. You deserve it!
Omg, thank you for this! I feel you in every fiber of my being. I think empaths like us are struggling right now. Our love tanks are dry arent they? Mine got a little fuller today reading this post. Thank you!!! ❤
I completely get what you’re saying here. It makes sense. Personally, I quit social media a while back in the same way and for some of the same reasons I quit drinking. We’re living in dogmatic partisan tribal mess. The question is, how do we talk to each other about the real problems that are all around us in a way that brings us together to solve those problems? And how do we do this while enjoying our lives, enjoying each other, and getting some laughs along the way? Whatever the answers, I just wanted to thank you for putting yourself into the public melee – you’re an inspiration.
I needed to see this post, I feel very lonely in my life and besides shopping for Avon and watching your technique, I also see a smiling face, one that isn’t afraid to speak their mind,I am too like that as well ive been ran over my whole life, not now! I look forward to you coming on , you brighten my day! You don’t realize this but you mentor alot of women to be as big In life as they want to be! I have great admiration for you ! Wishing you and Matt many blessings throughout this new year. ❤🙏
