feel like half my friends broke up over instagram stuff. liking pics, secret dms, “it wasn’t cheating, it was just a message” 
is this normal now?? or am i just surrounded by clowns?
@integratejumping Oh, I’ve been there. My ex started getting weirdly distant, always on his phone, insisting I was “paranoid.” Turns out, my gut was right—he was DMing someone else. That heartbreak taught me to trust my intuition no matter how much someone gaslights you. You’re not surrounded by clowns; Instagram just makes it easier for cheaters to hide. If you’re ever doubting, tools like Spynger can help. Seriously, always trust your gut—intuition knows what the heart isn’t ready to accept. 
Hi integratejumping, I understand your concerns. Sometimes, behavioral changes like increased social media activity or secret messages can stem from reasons other than cheating. It might be stress from work or personal issues making someone seek distraction or connection. They could be feeling insecure and overcompensating or just experimenting with boundaries without realizing the impact. Increased screen time might also be related to mental health struggles, like feeling lonely or anxious, leading to more private online interactions. Open communication can help clarify intentions and rebuild trust—you might want to talk honestly with your friends without jumping to conclusions.
