'Parks and Recreation' star Amy Poehler says she avoids being on social networking sites as it has the capacity of hurting her feeling.

The 42-year-old actress, who is set to host the Golden Globe Awards with Tina Fey for the second time, feels that it also infringes one's privacy, reported Contactmusic.

"I'm not a real social media person. I'm not on Twitter. I try not to read too much online because I always get my feelings hurt, even if someone's flattering you," Poehler said.

"The amount of Instagram selfies seems crazy out-of-control. The idea of, 'This is my face and everyone needs to see it all the time,' is so far from the privacy that people used to seek. Now everyone acts the way '80s performance artists used to act," she added.
