In a recent interview, Scarlett Johansson, a 38-year-old Hollywood star, revealed that she steers clear of social media as she perceives herself as delicate and vulnerable. She likened herself to a fragile flower, choosing to protect her mental well-being by avoiding the stress that comes with online platforms.
After experimenting with social media for just three days, I quickly realized that I was wasting a good chunk of my time scrolling through a coworker’s friend’s profile for up to 20 minutes. It became clear to me that social networking was not a productive use of my time.
I sometimes feel down on myself when I start comparing my own life to others, especially when I notice the freedom and spontaneity that seems to be a regular part of other people’s daily routines.
During a recent interview, the famous Hollywood actress compared motherhood to “being in a relationship that is emotionally abusive.” At 38 years old, she is the mother of an 8-year-old daughter from her previous marriage to journalist Romain Dauriac and a 2-year-old son with her current husband, comedian Colin Jost.
Scarlett Johansson shared how her perspective on motherhood shifted when her child reached the age of 3. Previously, she had a positive view of being a mother, despite hearing about the challenges from others. However, once her child reached 3, she experienced feelings similar to being in an emotionally taxing relationship.
