Tom Holland Is Distancing Himself From Social Media

Tom Holland is a young social Hollywood sensation, as evidence by the number of individuals that follow him on the internet. However, it appears like Holland is stepping back from the platform. Tom Holland recently stated that he is removing himself from social media because it is quite detrimental to his mental state.

Tom Holland said he’s deleting his social media apps, for the time being, citing a “detrimental” influence on his mental health in an Instagram video. In the comments area, Justin Bieber, Kyle, and others expressed their support for Holland.

“I have taken a break from social media for my mental health because I find Instagram and Twitter to be overstimulating, to be overwhelming. I get caught up and I spiral when I read things about me online, and ultimately, it’s very detrimental to my mental state. So I decided to take a step back and delete the app.”

“There is an awful stigma against mental health and I know that asking for help and seeking help isn’t something that we should be ashamed of, but it is something that is much easier said than done.”
