The 30-year-old actress told the Sydney Morning Herald, in an interview published on Saturday: 'The way you are bombarded with random people's opinions is very difficult.'

Expressing her cynicism for social media, the Transformers star explained that being absent from such platforms allows her to remain 'unattached' from people's opinions of her.

'Everyone has a voice now because of the internet and social media. The way you are bombarded with random people's opinions is very difficult. 

'You have to be able to become unattached, not detached, but unattached to what that could possibly do to your sense of self. You have to just be centred and maintain a clear bird's-eye-view of who you are and why you're here,' she said.

Back in 2013, Megan decided to cancel her Twitter account. 

In just one week, she had raked in more than 250,000 followers since starting, but couldn't see a good reason for keeping it.

She wrote at the time: ‘5 days on Twitter and I have yet to discern it's purpose. #WhatIsThePoint ???’

A day later she penned a Facebook post addressed to her 33 million subscribers that she can’t keep up with something she dislikes so much.

She explained: ‘Some of you may or may not have noticed by now that my Twitter account has been shut down. I thought that 2013 might be the year that I finally blossomed into a social networking butterfly, but as it turns out, I still hate it.’

Meanwhile, though the Jennifer's Body star filed for divorce from her husband in August, they have apparently decided to try to mend their relationship now that they're expecting a third child together.
