You feel independent and free but so quickly lose control

I feel that when you start using social media as a kid you feel independent and free but at the same time you so quickly lose control. I remember people starting to post pictures of me or send them on snapchat even before I had social media myself. They weren’t compromising photos and so it was not done with intentional malice but I remember getting extreme anxiety about the lack of control that I had over the situation. I wouldn’t have posted or sent those photos. When I asked for an instagram post to be taken down (just the photo of me) they refused as they didn’t want to loose the likes etc that they had on that post. I think people underestimate the impact of the anxiety on young people of using social media and having an online presence.
