Reconsidering her online presence? Meghan King candidly addressed her complicated relationship with social media — and hinted at taking a potential step back.“I’ve been in a funk lately.

It’s a weird funk, I’m not depressed or worried or anything, I’m in a healthy romantic relationship, I’m loving being a mom more than ever, and things with work seem to be falling into place,” the reality star, 38, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, November 29.In the lengthy post, King noted how her kids affected her perception of the online platforms. “My funk has to do with my shifting role in the game of life, I’m so public all the time but lately I’ve been wondering if this is the route I want for my children?” the TV personality, who shares daughter Aspen, 5, and twins Hart and Hayes, 4, with ex-husband Jim Edmonds shared. “Social media can be so insidious and I find myself feeling inadequate when I look at it too long.”The former Bravo personality continued: “My mom recently asked, ‘Megh, would you like a keepsake box for your kids for Christmas?’ To which I responded something to the effect of ‘Damnit I don’t have keepsakes like good Moms bc I’m so distracted trying to run everything alone!’ (Sorry mom) but woah, seriously, when did I become so salty and self-righteous when it comes to keeping up with the Joneses?”According to King, her connection to social media is something she is still working through, adding, “I feel defensive even when it’s unnecessary and I knew I needed to look within.

That’s it. I don’t have answers yet, the funk continues.”Earlier this year, the Missouri native revealed that she no longer wanted to share details of her personal life with the public.“I’m done putting relationships on social media.
