You may think Twitter is only for posting what you had for lunch or Facebook is only for showing funny photos for your friends. They may feel they have even less time for a personal life, which compounds the stress. Don’t gossip at work. The one I have trouble with is Twitter. Embrace social media. Take the high road.
