Millennials when did you just stop posting on social media?

I'm noticing more and more of my friends are not posting on social media anymore. Friends went from posting at least a pic a month, constantly posting on their story to posting a picture once a year lol.

I usually post for a month to three months then just stop. Depending on what I have going on in my life, If I go on vacation, I'll make a post.

I had this conversation with a friend and tell me if you agree. He said that he thinks many millennials are depressed. If they had their life in order, they'd be confident to post their life. But many are living in their 30s, a life they didnt think they would have when they were teens/20s.

While I do agree with this to a certain extent, some people believe in "evil eye" and would rather just be private and not share their life because of jealousy.

What do you think?

edit: wow I did not think this post would blow up like this. I guess overall what I was trying to say was it seems we are the generation that watched the evolution of social media. Did we just get tired of it? Did we realize what it did to our mental health (comparing our lives to others) even though yes... you can never believe anything on social media. Do we just prefer to be private so no one knows anything about our lives?
