Scarlett Johansson, one of the most influential actresses globally, consciously avoids social media despite having millions of fans and followers. In a recent interview with The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, the actress revealed the real reason behind her decision.

Too Fragile For Social Media

Despite portraying a tough and rough persona on-screen as Black Widow in the MCU, Johansson revealed that she is “too fragile like a delicate flower” to handle the harsh world of social media. She added that she cannot handle the pressure and trolling that comes with it, which can negatively impact her anxiety.

Experience With Social Media

Johansson shared that she secretly created an account for just three days, during which she was entirely consumed by it. However, she realized that she had wasted 20 minutes of her life scrolling through a friend’s colleague’s Instagram page and feeling bad about missing out on their life.

TikTok For Work

The only social media platform where Johansson is active is TikTok, but she admitted that she becomes like a 3-year-old with her mom’s phone, completely absorbed into it. She further stated that she knows she can’t have social media because it negatively impacts her mental health.

Scarlett Johansson’s decision to stay away from social media is due to her fragile mental state and the pressure and trolling that comes with it. Despite being a massive star, she prioritizes her mental health, and it’s something that we can all learn from.
