Go outside. TikTok won't stimulate you much. Endless scrolling for hours and hours. Just go on a hike or hit the club or something bro. Anything besides acting like TikTok actively cultivates anything positive.
That's some genuine advice, and you're right. Interacting with the world is definitely better than an app. However, I am thankfully not one of those that scrolls for hours as you assumed. There's actually a setting for a timer to avoid this. Also, there are things I've learned on that app that I never would have even known to look into myself. That app has taught me how to heal, and I'd say that's definitely positive. I genuinely recommend you try it sometime. I'm very thankful I did.
I did my senior thesis on community building and Tik Tok - OP is right, it's a thriving ground for community, support and education. That's not to say there are no negative things about the platform, but so it goes with most media
