One of my favorite but it hasn't been updating but still good
hey guys so I left social media (Instagram + Snapchat) on a whim around last year just bc I was really depressed at the time (not bc of social media just a lot of other things and i’d heard social media could be like a drug for your brain and make things worse so I decided to drop it) and at first it really sucked bc I felt really out of loop and disconnected from other people but eventually over time i realized how freeing it was. I didn’t have to constantly feel this pressure to update people on my life and post a picture if I was doing something cool (basically flexing on them). I didn’t have to follow 300 random people whose lives I didn’t really care about. And I didn’t have to get caught up on a bunch of exaggerated news and politics. Instead of scrolling through Instagram in my spare time in a waiting office my brain would be forced to think. And I think it was really good that I did it.
But now it’s a year later and I’m past my depression and have put away a lot of unhealthy habits. I (think?) I kinda want to get social media again. A lot of my friends talk on Snapchat and stuff and ik it’s lame to but I feel kind of left out. I also like staying in touch with people from my old school and childhood, who I’ve been cut off from. And I like sharing my life. So I think I do want to get it again.
My only concerns are:
1) am I just getting this because of subtle peer pressure?
2) I think I’m healthy but am I going to downspiral again if I get it?
3) if I do chose to get social media again should I get either insta or snap or both?
If you’ve read this far thank u sm. If anybody has advice or has gone through something similar I’d really appreciate hearing second opinions!
Hi there I read it all!
First of all congratulations on getting through this harsh period! I am myself not really found of the social medias and realised I tend to spend a lot of time on Instagram for example. What I chose to do is not posting anything, because I have never like the concept of bragging whenever you do something fun. But I do use it to keep in touch with friends and even family since I travel and move a lot. You could maybe do that? Keep one account, chose one social media and don't force yourself on posting?
I think that sounds good, it’ll keep from being too involved and falling down that rabbit hole. I agree abt bragging! I always felt this pressure to show off the rare times I did something cool and that was really unhealthy so I think not posting at all will keep me from doing that. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and give your advice!
Hey! I think it's great that you've been able to overcome your depression, it's really difficult.
About being taken in by peer pressure, I don't think you are! You've avoided having social media for quite some time and since you've stated that you wanted to get social media again because your friends have it, it's more of your own decision than giving in to peer pressure. But if you're still unsure, maybe ask yourself if you want social media because you want to blend in with others and be considered "normal" or you want it because you want to be able to stay in contact with your friends.
To be completely honest I don't know about your second question. It all depends on how badly social media affected you when you used it last. However, if you feel this pressure to update constantly and the need to show off how well your life is to others social media could be the cause for a worsening psyche. If it feels like social media controls every aspect of your life, maybe avoid being on it or only check on it occasionally. But if you're updating because you honestly want to connect with others and be able to see how your friends are doing, I think it's safe to get social media! Maybe keep your friend group small at first and then gradually expand it once you get comfortable (and you don't feel this pressure).
If you are getting social media again I suggest you get Instagram. There's less of a pressure to update constantly (some accounts only have a handful of posts) and the pictures help you connect with others. However, if you simply want to stay in contact with friends maybe get Snapchat as it's easier to stay in contact with others on Snapchat.
I really hope I helped... Maybe what I said doesn't help you at all, but either way I really hope that I've been able to shed at least some light on your problem.
It's okay, let's all be possive and live out what is keeping us from achieving that.
Fighting Ikigai !
Thank you for your advice! I think just having a small group of friends follow me first is good advice bc I tend to get stressed when 500 people who I all kind of know follow me and it feels like there’s so many eyes on me/judgement.
Thank you sanaachan05!

These will definitely make you feel better. They’re nice and slow, and slice-of-life sci-fi. If you’re not against kind of old school shoujo,
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kanata_kara/ Is a pretty good one with.
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/binbougami_ga/ is really good too.
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_magical_girl_and_evil_officer/
This one is incredibly cute, fluffy and funny.
I give you my top 5.
Except for “Hunter X Hunter” who is, and will always be, number 1, the rest of the mangas are in no particular order.
- “Hunter X Hunter”
(The beginning is light and a little childish. But as the story goes on, it became one of the deepest and most intelligent manga I have ever read in my life. I love the art and he does it all by himself with ink only. No assistants, no computer! My all time favourite manga.)
- “Haru wo Daite Ita” Series
(An old-school slice of life yaoi about two av actors who become movie stars. There’s funny moments, cute moments, smexy moments, sad moments, there’s everything you could wish for in this Classic. There’s also a continuation manga.)
- “Bi no Isu” Series
(Yakuza yaoi with drama, action and suspense and romance! It started with a one shot and people liked it so much that she had to continue the series! I think there’s 3 volumes. The art is really beautiful in this one.)
- “Hidoku Shinaide”
(A very cute and fluffy slice of life yaoi but with some drama too. Be warned though, it begins with a rape. Later in the series it will be addressed and talked about.)
- “Kuroneko Kareshi” Series
(A funny and sweet slice of life yaoi with very nice smexy scenes, about a werecat and a wereleopard. One is this super mega movie star and the other is a decor builder. There’s multiple volumes and a spin-off with a few volumes too.)
I hope your life will be better soon!
And that you will find something that interests you and that you want to read in all the suggestions people will give you!
Stay strong! (●'◡'●)ﾉ

7.9 rating here. It's amazing, I think. http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/happy_ending/
Thank you all for your recommendations!
it’s summer break, I’m procrastinating on summer homework and I’m feeling like reading a long one(▰˘◡˘▰) ~ folks recommend me some good ol shoujo to read which has drama but not too much (bc I want to live vicariously through the characters much more interesting lives instead of my completely drama free one) (but like also not have an aneurysm yelling at frustration at characters), kinda long, maybe makes you feel nostalgic or just a really good story you read ! thx in advance
this one has a decent amount of drama, it’s not very long and it also has an anime if you want to watch it
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/buddy_go/
this one doesn’t have any drama at all I believe but it’s has a good plot and nice art. It’s pretty long too
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/horimiya/
the second one also has an anime
hey guys so I read http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/hanakoi_tsurane/ and it really made me crave longer manga (づ￣ ³￣)づ. I’ve read too many 5 ch yaois. Does anybody have any reccs (bl) for longer manga where they have sex but like not in the first couple of chapters and the characters’ relationship is explored more before getting to that? thanks in advance! (▰˘◡˘▰)
whoaa what’s with the new feature with comments where you can sort popular/newest/etc. it’s super cool!
I’m on my phone and I can see it tho? Maybe it hasn’t updated everywhere or smthn
And they still won't let us like replys...
I'm jumping out of a microwave.
Anybody know any solid mangas (doesn’t have to be bl) with a generally decent plot that’s kinda long-ish but doesn’t have too much drama/misunderstandings and isn’t too cliche? I’m stuck at home for 2 weeks and am quickly running out of things to keep me occupied lol.
Examples of what I’m looking for would be something like Hidoku Shinaide, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Rutta to Kodama, Doukyuusei, Sign, Hibi Chouchou, etc. Something that will take my attention but not my energy. Thanks in advance!
The author Scarlet Beriko has a few really nice ones!
Jackass - being in a school setting
Tasogare outfocus
The shoujo i reccomend always is - Ao haru ride - and say i love i find the vibe similar to kaibutsu kun both completed! I also have a list with more if you like these!
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/my_id_is_gangnam_beauty/
It's completed, ML is very simple, FL is not annoying, bitchy villain but no misunderstanding and satisfying ending. Has k-drama too which is a bit different from the manhwa but still good
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Ohh I loved Jackass! I’ll check out her other works tho. Also loooved ao haru ride, I think I’ll reread it :)
