Unfollow as Self-Care
In 2025, your feed isn’t just a timeline — it’s a battleground. Every post demands attention, every story competes for emotion, every scroll invites judgment. Noise has become a constant, and participation is no longer optional.
And yet, the most radical act isn’t posting or liking. It’s stepping away. Unfollowing, muting, logging off — these are the new forms of self-respect. To disconnect is to reclaim space, time, and mental clarity.
Self-care has become performative online, but refusal is deeply personal. When you unfollow, you are not apathetic. You are protecting your mind from manipulation, your energy from extraction, and your attention from being commodified.
In a world where visibility is demanded, invisibility is the ultimate act of care. Sometimes, saying nothing, seeing less, and withdrawing is the loudest, most radical statement you can make.
