if you're into meditation, you'll probably enjoy this piece a lot.
if you're not into it, or you plan on responding below in a way that suggests you didn't read the article -- you'll appear somewhat as proof of what the article contends. but even if you don't meditate or even spend time on social media, you'll completely understand the weird physical feeling you get from a disturbing thought (a remembrance of a past embarrassment, for example), and the similar feeling you get when you are hit with a tweet (or whatever) that irks you.
the analogy fits: the feelings arising from thinking a troubling thought are almost no different than the feelings arising from reading an upsetting tweet.
the conclusion is to operate social media the same way you monitor your own thoughts - which is to examine what the thought might actually be, and then disarm and discard it. which is what one does often in meditation.
Join Greg, Tom, comedian Michael Loftus and Dana Perino June 7 in Charlotte, NC! Tickets still available.

Congratulations to @Fuezie and @NJFLA. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Fuezie What's the stangest thing you believed as a kid....?
@NJFLA Is there something you aren’t good at and wish you were?
I’m on my way to Arnhem this morning. I decided to take my rental bicycle along. I’ve changed trains twice and I’m waiting on the final leg to Arnhem. At my age having a WC on the train is a godsend 🤪
so hey… can we “talk about butts?” i loved Kat’s “butt- talk”… but i’m wunnerin’ (on accounta’ we are Polish (ah’m 1/2)):
Polish women are known for a few things (yes, Kat is gorgeous 😉); including big butts, BUT personally, i’ve always hated mah big butt. i wanna’ know if Kat was joking…my mum is 100% Polish. mah daddy always said she was “pulling a trailer.” i didn’t get it (they had me when they were kinda’ old.) ha ha 😝
