At some point there was some fake news about gas prices rising above 10lei (about 2€) when at the time it was around 7-8lei.

People got crazy and started buying diesel and benzine en mass (in bottles, canisters, even plastic bags, literally every vessel they could find).

Increased demand led to increased prices - in the end resulting in diesel prices above 10lei.

This is called self-fulfilling prophecy - a prediction that comes true just because people believe in it.

We had talked about this phenomenon in sociology class just a few weeks before (and my sociology professor explained it on national tv a day later), so it was kind of interesting, but also kind of scary.

I often feel exhausted after using social media and reading news, but the best piece of advice I got for approaching news is to always think what emotion it evokes in me and who benefits from that emotion. Only then I make decisions regarding that news I read.

It honestly stresses me out but I can't stop using it because it's one of my only communication possibilities for me and my friends

Unproductive and unhealthy, drained of energy though not achieved anything

To much happening, which makes me pull the plug and go for face to face instead!

Overwhelmed with all the information

I usually feel fine and I like it, however, it concerns me how addictive it actually is

# data[].attributes.body
I feel lost without an actual goal. There is too much information given to every person each day.

Sometimes, it's like a posting is a chore or a competition, when really, it shouldn't be that way.

Some days are good some days bad it's never in between and that's what's scary

# data[].attributes.body
Some people are too fake, I feel there's a lack of genuine posts and stories

I know the risks but it feels like your being left out when you don't use the internet

I feel that I was able to change my algorithm to good content, and I did it

# data[].attributes.body
I feel ashamed because I have the impression of losing my time and I can't help it.

Informed but also bombarded with sad news and info that affects my psychology.

Social media is a useful tool that can turn nasty. Spend too much time on it and you can miss-out on fun times.

# data[].attributes.body
After using the internet, I can't remember what I saw and then when I think it makes me sad.

# data[].attributes.body
I have the need to check for new messages and social media content so I don't miss out 😔

# data[].attributes.body
Lately I feel really drained when I hear about the state of the world.

# data[].attributes.body
The truth is that social media makes me feel overwhelmed and even hopeless about the future

# data[].attributes.body
When using social media or checking the news, I either feel happy and motivated or sad and lost, depends on my feed at the moment.

Sometimes I feel like I don't know what is right and what is wrong

Social media is overwhelming, yet so addictive. The never ending stream of news from the world...

# data[].attributes.body
I feel disconnected from reality.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel anxious because world leaders are starting wars instead of doing anything about climate crisis.

I feel that when I'm on social media, time passes by, and I haven't done anything I wanted to do during the day. Suddenly, it's past midnigh,t and I have to go to work the next day, and I will be tired.
