One of the most amazing technical advancements in recent years has been social networking, which has benefited many people around the world. However, there is also a negative side, and because social media nowadays lacks any type of filter, anyone can be attacked, even if they are completely innocent. Tom Holland appears to be the newest high-end star to join the list of celebrities who have stopped using social media to take care of themselves. Hollywood superstars face a lot of criticism and trolling on social media, causing them to take a break from all the negativity.

The ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ star said he will focus on self-care and take a break from social media as he finds all social media platforms to be ‘harmful’ and needs to take a break for his personal well-being. The actor said in a video uploaded to Instagram that he finds social media “too stimulating” and that reading about himself made him quite uncomfortable.
For the sake of his sanity, he said: “I took a sabbatical from social media because I find Instagram and Twitter to be too empowering, overwhelming. When I read stuff about myself online, I get caught up in it and lose control, which is really bad for my mental health. So I made the decision to save and delete the program.
Holland added that he briefly returned to Instagram to “shed light” on Stem 4, a cause close to his heart. Plus, the ‘Unchartered’ actor helped everyone realize that asking for help when it comes to mental health issues isn’t something to be ‘ashamed of’ and that the help should be accepted whenever needed. He said: “There’s a terrible stigma associated with mental health, and I know asking for help and asking for help shouldn’t put us to shame, but that’s a lot easier said than done. TO DO.”
Many people rallied to support the actor in his choice as soon as Holland shared the video on Instagram. Everyone applauded the celebrity for taking this step and agreed that mental health needed to be taken care of. “Protect your peace my love,” one of the audience members wrote. One of the social media users remarked that Holland’s choice to step down is good as it would prevent him from finding himself in a similar situation as Ezra Miller. Tom must take all necessary precautions to prevent the Ezra Miller incident from happening again, he wrote. He wants to take care of himself, and I don’t blame him for that.
“Turning off social media is really a wise move. Another person said, ‘Dude’s mental health is far more essential.’ As it should be. Mental wellbeing is crucial, especially being such a big star. and young. Leave it alone,” another user tweeted.
Meanwhile, someone said on Instagram, “Please take all the time you need. Your health is the most important factor. We cherish you. Even Justin Bieber voiced his support for Holland’s choice by leaving the comment, “I love you, man.”
One of the celebrities who avoids controversy by not actively using social media is Holland. Although Holland is one of the most popular celebrities in the world, his portrayal of the enduring superhero sometimes draws criticism. This could be one of the causes of his continuous after-hours breaks.
