Tom Holland quits social media for mental health, fans laud actor for avoiding 'Ezra Miller situation'

He wrote, “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 myself online, and ultimately, it's very detrimental to my mental state. So I decided to take a step back and delete the app.”

Holland also noted that his brief return to Instagram was used to “shed a light” on a charity that is close to his heart, Stem 4. The ‘Unchartered’ actor also made everyone realize that asking for help while experiencing mental health issues is nothing to be “ashamed of” and people should take help whenever they feel like it. He added, “There is an awful stigma against mental health and I know that asking for help and seeking help isn’t something we should be ashamed of but it is something that is much easier said than done.”

As soon as Holland posted the video on Instagram, a lot of people came together to support the actor on his decision. Everyone believed that taking care of mental health is important and congratulated the star for taking this initiative. One of the fans wrote, “Protect your peace, love”. Meanwhile, one of the social media users noted that it’s good that Holland has taken the decision to step away so that he doesn’t find himself in a similar situation as Ezra Miller. He wrote, “Tom needs to do whatever it takes not to devolved into another Ezra Miller situation. I'm not mad at him for wanting to take care of himself.”

“Taking a break from social media is such a smart move. Dude’s mental health is way more important,” wrote another user. “As he should. Mental health is important. Especially being such a huge star. And young. Let him be,” tweeted another user.

Meanwhile, on Instagram, a person wrote, “Please take all the time you need. The thing that matters the most is your well-being. We love you”. Even Justin Bieber came to support Holland’s decision and wrote, “Love you, man” in the comments section.

Holland is one of those stars who don’t use social media actively and try to stay away from all the controversies. Although he is one of the most-loved stars in the world, Holland does receive negative comments on his portrayal of the iconic superhero. This might be one of the reasons why he keeps on taking hiatus after regular intervals.
