What you scroll past says little. What you stop on says everything.

Scrolling is mostly automatic, but the stop is a choice your attention made faster than you could. Whatever you paused on hooked something real, curiosity, envy, worry, wanting. That makes your pauses a more honest record of what is going on with you than anything you would say out loud about yourself.

For one day, notice each time you stop and ask what pulled you. You are not trying to feel bad about any of it. You are collecting a surprisingly accurate list of what you currently care about and what you are currently anxious about.
