Scarlett Johansson revealed on a podcast that she avoids using social media because she feels too fragile and addicted to it. The actress admitted that she gets absorbed into the platforms like a three-year-old with a phone. She recalled wasting time stalking someone's Instagram page, which frustrated her and made her want to change her life. Johansson has never had any social media accounts and doesn't feel the need to brand herself. She prefers to keep her personal life private and has asked for respect regarding her privacy in the past. Growing up in the spotlight, she feels the need to set boundaries and reclaim her own identity.
