Emma Watson stays away from social media for sanity

Actress Emma Watson says she tries to stay away from social media as much as possible to keep herself from going insane.

The 27-year-old actress says being in the film industry takes a toll on the mind of the artistes and therefore, she chooses to maintain a distance from the internet addiction, reported E! News.

"For my sanity, I cannot even go there (and read comments on Instagram). I have to create some distance because I'm human, you know?

"I think there is this way that, sometimes, technology can dehumanise and it's like they're saying something about someone that isn't there, but I am there and I am real. So yeah, I have to create some distance for sure," says Emma.
