What is your own relationship to social media apps like TikTok? For

”
).

point form
(not full sentences; use key words)

integrated quotation you include to support your points.
Write your full paragraph here:
My relationship with social media apps like TikTok is very simple.
Because currently I
am working in technology, these platforms do not hold an important role in my life.
I usually use social media to reduce stress, make have fun, and update trends, and
developments in the tech job. TikTok has quick access to information and the ability to
connect with friends and everyone in the world.
However, I think the captivating content on TikTok and other social media apps can be
enticing, and if not managed properly. TikTok can take the time of mine, and it slows
down my development. I feel I need to control a balance to ensure that they do not
interfere with my job and personal life.
In summary, I usually follow social media apps like TikTok for leisure and industry
related updates. But it does not hold a central or important role in my personal life.
