Block or Mute Stressful Accounts

It's one of the simpler solutions, but if you find a specific account to be particularly negative, there are ways to avoid seeing those posts in your feed. As a part of her work, Dolly Klock, MD, helps families navigate technology, and her advice is to do what makes you feel best. "If the posts you're seeing are making you feel bad about yourself or making you feel stressed, then think about temporarily blocking those accounts," she told POPSUGAR. On sites like Twitter and Instagram, you can also mute individual people without them being notified, which might be helpful if someone you follow is posting things you don't want on your feed.
