This was passed down to me by someone who lived a happy life to 98. Stay away from people who irritate you or bring you down. Even family members.

This includes social media. Unfriend if there is no redeeming value in the "friendship." If they're a relative or decades-long friend, unfollow and go view their posts from time to time if you get curious.
Same with reddit. If a group has too many annoying posts cluttering your feed, quit following it and just check back in occasionally. You can always re-join if things change.
Enough aggravation comes into our lives as it is. We don't need to invite it in the door.
