When I encounter stress, it has always been so overwhelming and mentally exhausting. It’s often caused by a large amount of schoolwork and comparing myself to other people, for both real life and social media. I don’t have a solution for boosting my self-esteem, but I do manage my stress levels by just going out for a walk and listening to some music. It always calms me down since I’m by myself and rejuvenates my energy. On certain days, I just don’t have the energy to walk, which is why I enjoy reading Manga’s instead. All my thoughts about my actual life are washed away until I finish focusing on the story at hand. Therefore, I believe technology is beneficial to me coping with stress. It has a wide variety of different things online that can make me happy and less swamped. Even if it does cause me some insecurity, I think it gives me more positive feelings than negative.
