Social media has changed the way many of us roll with the days' news, personal events, entertainment, religion and politics. Have you ever unfriended someone on Facebook because of a political point-of-view post or comment? Facebook users have unfriended, unfollowed, unliked and even blocked close friends and family over political posts. "There are times when I deactivate my social media or delete or block a social media 'friend' due to divisive, negative energy," said Vena Heiskell of Central Florida. "Also, when a social media 'friend' repeatedly posts political content that can be hateful, polarizing and judgmental of those that may have different views, I won't engage with them. Barnes, who holds two degrees in psychology said, "While I don't believe you should unfollow anyone simply because of differing views, I do believe that it is emotionally unhealthy to inundate yourself with posts that cause you distress. If that means unfriending, unfollowing or muting the feed of someone who you know personally, so be it!" An unfollow on the Internet doesn't automatically mean that you are discarding the person in life, stresses Barnes. "It is simply exercising your right to protect your mental health by choosing what you ingest on the Internet. Many people successfully preserve certain personal relationships by distancing themselves on social media."
