Elizabeth Olsen explains why she deleted her Instagram

My first time looking at Instagram, and I was like, this is kind of fun. Like, I think I could figure out how this is fun. And then you get more people, and then you're like, oh, now I'm not having as much fun. And now I'm second-guessing everything. And then it's like, why am I even trying to create a character version of myself and put it out in the world? And the whole thing just made me uncomfortable. And it's not even like I was really paying attention to comments or anything. I just felt weird how it organized my brain. Like, if something happened in the world, I would say, oh, do I have to post about this? I think it's very dangerous to think, oh, something just happened in the world. I am an entitled person whose voice must be heard on this issue. And I just think that is such a narcissistic viewpoint that we're all a part of. Like, it made us all live in this weird narcissistic cycle. I do think it's important for people who want to be voices and have platforms and who care deeply about issues to do that. I am terrified of that kind of pressure. And so that's kind of where I was like, oh, right, so I'm just gonna back up and do my things that I think are important for the things that I care about and try and be kind and good and learn and listen. During the pandemic, I was like, oh, well, you know what? This just is not for me. And I just got rid of it and I won't go back. No regrets? No, I'm never going back to social media.
