Sienna Miller found Instagram "addictive".
The ‘American Sniper’ actress spent five days on the photo-sharing website and though she enjoyed an initial outpouring of "love" from other users, she deleted her account because she worried she would be left feeling "incredibly lonely".
She said: "It was the most addictive thing. Every morning I’d wake up and there would be a thousand more followers or whatever and there would be these amazing greetings like ‘Welcome! We love you!’ I’d be inflated by this nonexistent, intangible love. I was like, ‘I need to get off this.’"
"Ultimately it leaves you feeling incredibly lonely,. I know friends who are prolific on social media, and it gives them a lot of anxiety. That level of exposure…"
Though the 32-year-old actress – who has two-year-old daughter Marlowe with partner Tom Sturridge – enjoyed her brief stint on Instagram, she insists she would never join Twitter because she wouldn’t be able to resist responding if anyone on the microblogging site criticised her.
She added in an interview with the new issue of Vogue magazine: "It would be a minefield. If someone attacked me, I definitely would retaliate."
