Frankly, social media is too much work.
I went through a phase of "Facebbok addiction" back when it originally took off ( in 1st year uni we got those accounts we had to link to our uni emails. This was before I everyone was allowed onto FB, back when it was still a new and exciting tech), and I lost interest in social media just before the twittergrams took off.
That, and I've never been a photo person, I don't care if other people want to take pics/tag me in photos, but I can rarely be bothered to do that myself.
Yeah, I can relate to a certain extent, I think social media can feel very weird for people that aren't super extroverts. But I'm not sure that's it either. For me, the context of sharing something is a major factor. On Instagram it's only people I know that see my posts, and essentially I like that my sisters, that both live in other countries, can see my pictures. It really took a lot of 'practice' to get comfortable with sharing selfies for instance. I still feel uncomfortable doing that on other places, like twitter for instance. So for me there's a major difference between different social contexts. On facebook for instance I rarely post anything at all, but I'm active in groups more.
