Hayley Williams shows why she takes social media breaks with one tweet
A week ago, Paramore singer Hayley Williams posted a workout video for fans to enjoy while stuck at home set to her new song “Over Yet” but today she’s showing an extremely negative reaction to that video explaining why she needs to take breaks from social media.
She posted a series of tweets that show someone’s awful take on mental health issues pointed directly at her.

Hayley Williams shared the workout video as a way to connect with fans while offering healthy and fun ways to spend your time isolating at home during the coronavirus pandemic.
In the clip, she tells fans “Here’s an exercise routine so short you don’t even need to put your hair up in ponytail.” You can check out the video below.
Now, she’s sharing with the world that after taking a break from social media for a few days, she’s coming back to show a crappy response she received to her video.
She says she’s been having issues with depression lately leading to her wanting a break from social media. Responses like this prove that it’s pretty necessary for her to do.
“i’ve been majorly depressed the last few days, so i took a short sm break. came back to see this real reply to the “workout routine” video that i posted (on a good day, mind you)… now is NOT the time to shame ppl for their fleeting(!) moments of joy.”

now is also not the time to be skeptical of anyone’s battle with their mental health – which i also see a lot of on social media.
just be a fucking nice person right now. try empathy if that’s not something you’ve given a chance. try activism… take your frustrations there.

for the love of god, do not seek out random opportunities to be a dick on the internet… maybe ever… but especially not in this critical moment.
i want to be able to read responses to posts. i want to be present. i want to connect. and i dont want to feel shittier for that.

This isn’t the first time she’s taken breaks from social media. Last June, Hayley Williams posted a lengthy statement to her Instagram, updating fans that she was taking an “extended break” from social media.
