Social media has also influenced radiology and health care by facilitating patient outreach, advocacy, and widespread dissemination of research and educational material (1,2). Despite its undeniable benefits, social media has also produced unintended consequences—an important one of which is burnout.How Social Media Contributes to BurnoutBurnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased feelings of personal accomplishment, affects almost half of practicing radiologists and more than half of radiology trainees (3). Social media can contribute to burnout in several ways. Indiscriminate use of social media, for example, can detract from required tasks, self-care and mindfulness activities, and other meaningful pursuits. Frequent social and professional comparisons can erode self-esteem and feelings of accomplishment (4). Finally, bullying and other negative interactions can have lasting effects on well-being. However, thoughtful social media use can help prevent and even potentially reverse burnout symptoms.Strategies to Avoid Burnout in Social MediaTime is a zero-sum game. Time spent on social media is less time spent on other professional pursuits, less time spent with family and friends, and less time spent on self-care. This is not to say that one needs to completely “unplug” and go offline. However, to maintain balance, it is best that social media use be intentional and time limited. Setting objectives (eg, check notifications, reply to comments on your posts, leave thoughtful comments on others’ posts, post original or curated content) and setting a time to complete all activities in one sitting can reduce disruptions throughout the day and facilitate more effective use of time on social media. Curating content (eg, retweeting other people’s posts or collecting and reposting content relevant to your audience) is more efficient than creating original content and can be equally effective if done aptly. Repurposing content (eg, turning cases from previously created lectures into once-a-week posts) can also save considerable time while maintaining engagement. Original content made for social media can later be repurposed as part of one’s teaching file.Social media is rife with social comparisons. The effects of upward social comparison, thought of in psychology as comparing oneself to another who is perceived to be better, can vary (4). While some may feel motivated and inspired, others have amplified feelings of inferiority and insecurity. It is important to remember when seeing others’ seemingly endless triumphs and accolades that there is a tendency for people to present their ideal self with their “greatest hits” on social media and to keep failures and challenges private. Adopting a grateful attitude by counting (and making a list) of one’s blessings has been shown to improve well-being (5). As we celebrate other people’s accomplishments, we must also learn to celebrate our own.The relative anonymity of social media can embolden “bad actors.” The mute, unfollow, and block features allow users to hide, reduce, or eliminate unwanted messages or posts from certain users. Depending on the platform, users may also have the option to “flag” or report posts or users that violate rules. These rules can be variable, but abusive and harmful messages are generally prohibited. Internet “trolls,” those who post deliberately inflammatory or disruptive messages for attention or reaction, are best met with silence and not engagement. On the other hand, bullying, racist, sexist, and other discriminatory remarks should not be tolerated. When such instances are witnessed, consider speaking up and being an “upstander” rather than a bystander. After all, fostering a supportive virtual community is vital to having a safe and inclusive environment and ensuring everyone’s well-being while online.Although bad actors are occasionally encountered, it is important to recognize that social media is also filled with great educators (and students), excellent mentors (and mentees), and potential collaborators and friends. Seeking connections, both personal and professional, is made easier by social media. Reviewing others’ profiles and posts allows a quick compatibility check for shared interests outside and inside the professional arena before establishing a more personal connection. When seeking these connections, formal introductions from others are rarely necessary, and directly messaging individuals is acceptable. In some ways, the openness of social media makes distance irrelevant and allows individuals to seek connections with those at other institutions regionally, nationally, and internationally.Finding BalanceWielding the power of social media to one’s advantage and understanding the potential pitfalls are key to finding balance in its use. Keeping social media activities purposeful and time-limited, celebrating personal triumphs and those of others, and making connections while building inclusive communities are some ways to find balance among the incessant buzzes and pings of social media.Disclosures of Conflicts of Interest.— P.M.B.
