社交破产

    shèjiāo pòchǎn

    Meaning: "社交" means to "socialize," and "破产" is "bankrupcy." Translated from the English term "social bankruptcy," it refers to the condition of being so overwhelmed by social media that the only solution is to close all one's accounts." When you find yourself with hundreds of "friends," maintaining those relationships can feel like a burden. Maybe it's time to declare "social bankruptcy."
