Muchos testimonios coinciden en que cerrar cuentas en redes sociales tradicionales ha sido la decisión más beneficiosa para su estabilidad psicológica en años.
- My decision to delete my twitter account after 12 years in 2024 was the best mental health choice ive made in the past 10 years. Its impressive that it continues to get more toxic.

4. El dilema entre la responsabilidad de estar informado y la salud emocional.
