Jennifer Aniston just gave a few reasons why you will never ever see her on the social media app TikTok.
“I don’t have TikTok, nor will I ever. I just won’t,” Aniston told ET’s Deidre Behar, before admitting, “I’m not gonna subscribe to one more thing that is gonna ruin my life or somebody else’s life.”
Despite the joke, the star noted that she keeps social media ‘at arm’s length’ for a few reasons.
“It could suck you in and you’ve wasted hours of your life,” she said. “I can’t believe sometimes when I found myself in an absolute wormhole of dog, puppy videos and rescue animals, and babies, and cats. That’s the stuff I enjoy. But then there’s some stuff online I just don’t wanna see.”
Aniston also said, “I don’t think we are were designed to take in the amount of information at the speed and the rate that we do these days. I just don’t think it’s good for us. I don’t think it’s healthy.”
The star went on to mention that social media is the “the mental illness that kids are suffering from because of the compare and despair.”
“It’s so hard to be a teenager these days,” she said. “We are so hard on ourselves, and kids are so mean too.”

Aniston has joined Instagram as of late but does not post a lot of her social life online she admits.
“I just think it’s best to just be who you are,” she said. “We’ve got good days. We’ve got bad days. We have good hair days. We’ve got s**tty hair days. We’ve got good skin days, bad skin days. It’s a mixed bag. It’s also just so unrealistic to try to sell something that doesn’t feel authentic.”
Aniston has been trying to feel better about her active routines and more. She recently gave her commitment to Pvolve, the science-led workout that combines low-impact functional fitness with resistance-based equipment.
“I feel like I’m stronger from the inside out in ways that I’ve never quite been before, because this method works out deep layers of muscles that you didn’t even know you had,” she said. “… There’s muscle definition that I didn’t know I could have.”
The star has been focused lately on her health and believes the workout as well “helped so many people.”
“It’s like I found a precious stone of some sort,” Aniston told ET of the female-founded company, which she joined last year. “It’s just changed my whole outlook on working out. It’s something I look forward to.”
