- I chose to delete all of my social media, in the beginning it was supposed to be for only a month but I ended up extended it and I don’t regret it one bit. Here’s how it’s going so far…
I resonate with this. I permanently deleted everything four years ago and haven’t been back. Since then I’ve relocated to a new state, went back to college and got my degree and accomplished so many other things. I’m at peace now and I’m never going back. Thank you for sharing ❣️
I’ve never seen you before and didn’t search for this but I agree. Social media is poison to our society. Life was much better without it. I promise! I’m 40 and grew up as social media was evolving and entering society. It single-handedly destroyed society.
I don't know. Social media is a tool of sorts, an inanimate object. What people choose to do with it determines the outcome of social/societal norms.
It's like saying guns kill people when, in reality, people kill people. But, you are right about the devolving of society. It's easier to connect via an app versus face to face with someone.
@@laterinlife0904 if it were only used for good things, then it would be okay but it isn’t. It does far more harm than good. You never had to worry about anything you did as a teen ending up online for everyone to see to embarrass you or make fun of you or tell you to do horrendous things to yourself. Teens and young adults today are living in a toxic environment with the internet and the mental health issues have skyrocketed in our country. It’s truly sad and I feel bad for teens and young adults today. It’s not a way to live life. Being truly free was what was great. No need to worry about your wild night out with your friends ending up on Snapchat, or IG shorts, or anything like that. We could just live freely. Making our mistakes and learning a great deal from them. Now, people almost seem as if they cannot function normally and having social anxiety in droves. It’s so sad to watch 😢
It is definitely changing us, I agree. Every time I post a comment on a subject, there's always someone who finds fault or offense in what I say. It's like social media has opened that door for people to be ruthless with their words, and not practice the wise saying "think before you speak". They just speak (type)!
There are certain people in my life that I say very little to because I know that their mouth is dirty like a sewer. On social media, I feel I am starting to not want to comment on anything at all because it brings so much confrontation that I truly never involve myself in in everyday life. LORD help us!
I 100% agree without you.
Yes social media is so boring and very draining I’m always finding myself loggin in and logging out I can live without it thought definitely .
I totally agree with you. I’m 24. I deleted all my personal social media accounts off and on since I was 16. Literally the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Social media definitely affects how people think and perceive reality.
Sameee girl i took them down a little before Covid time and I’m so glad ❤️❤️
I can empathize with you. I’m there too with social media. Life is better without social media
Do it!! I been off social media for 6 years , im a fresh 25😬😬 so around 19 I had to leave that shit… a part of it had to do with getting pregnant and then splitting with my babies father and needing a clear mind. We went to high school together and knew everyone like hella mutual friends, etc and it was just TOO much to heal and focus on just myself and my baby but yeah … I haven’t missed it for that long 😂😂 just here to show it’s capable and WORTH it!
I appreciate it! Life has been way too peaceful without it, I’m definitely done with it.
Did you just delete the app or deactivate as well? I’m so exhausted. I’m ready to leave the social world. Even TH-cam after I get my detox Inspo lol
I did the same. Too many of us are becoming believers in the screen being "real life". I couldn't allow myself to become fooled by that lie.
I deactivated my twitter and since then I feel calmer and more secure in myself (life decisions, thoughts, etc). People on Twitter are way to open opinionated and I get that that’s the whole point of Twitter is to tweet out your thoughts. But it is really toxic when you constantly see people insulting or attacking people for having different experiences, different thoughts, different feelings, about random stuff that doesn’t even affect them. And overtime I realize that I was internalizing this.
Everything you said is spot on. All my interests as a kid came back all over again. I’m 32 but I feel like that high school kid again back before all these apps took over
I’m tired. I do t want to be an influencer. I don’t want to keep endlessly posting videos to Get ppls attention and make them feel like they need what I have . I don’t want to have an aesthetic apartment luxury apartment. There seems to be no space for ppl who don’t want these things
No space to be regular, average, or ordinary. I was over it
Girllllll that's crazy cause I'm feeling the same way and on the same wave. I'm over it. Life is way more peaceful without it
Sigh, it’s definitely controlling the people. I feel like everyone is the same and nobody really has a mind of their own. Because some people are public figures & such, some people feel as if they’re entitled to know what’s going on in their life & they’re also demanding. Also, lots of women are changing their looks based on what they see online
I’m always deleting my social media now. It doesn’t even feel like it is used for what it was intended for. Like when IG first started, it was really a social platform where people would just post with more authenticity. However , now it feels like everyone is just watching other peoples perfect lives . Tiktok is more addicting imo, because of how it’s set up. Thats where I get the most information overload. It’s all mentally exhausting & when you delete it , you become way more productive & at peace
I enjoyed this video a lot. I can relate heavily to the part of feeling more mental clarity and having way more time for hobbies!!
I deleted my Instagram at the end of the year in December and it has been like The Most High has opened up a whole new world to me! People don’t realize this but social media can truly impact them in ways they can’t explain! Mentally it can truly take up so much head space
I couldn’t have agree more! I deleted all my social media apps two weeks ago and don’t plan on going back. It’s been so refreshing
For you to realize this at your age is very impressive.
As far as social media, I only use Instagram. I recently deleted the app because it is extremely distracting both consciously and subconsciously. I agree with you, it’s just information overload and it can be overwhelming. What’s annoying is I find myself going back to it via the desktop version if I need to look up a restaurant I want to try or a quick piece of info. When I do that, I make sure to be intentional about how much time I spend on it.
YES! The business sector now relies heavily on social media sites instead of websites or other things so, it's like you have to have one for certain things. I like to limit my time on it, as well.
Keep your business away from
The media at all costed today world is no fun be careful out there
Maybe that’s what I need, to cut down on my phone! I swear all I do is think and ruminate all day and I don’t even want to mention how many hours I’ve wasted on my phone some weeks. It’s horrible. I miss those days where I was just in the moment and not thinking about anything besides what I’m doing. A blank mind sounds so peaceful, I miss it
I resonated with this so much. I deleted facebook and deactivated Instagram and haven’t been back since like August. I do not think I will go back. I was never on Twitter or Tiktok. I agree about the information overload and the overthinking. I definitely think social media contributes to that regardless if we realize it or not!!
I'm 50 years old. I've only had facebook. I deleted that in 2016. I always thought, why do I need 20 apps to follow the same people doing the same shi. My daughter is 27, she told me she deleted her i.g., facebook etc. She said she finally realized how much time she was spending on these apps. Social media is meant to sell dreams.
This video for some reason popped up on my feed and i felt i had to watch. Mainly because i am someone who uses social media in such a minimal way so its interesting to hear the perspective of someone who did a social media detox.
Im 40 and have seen the growth of social media for the past 12-15 years and i honestly do not get it. I did twitter and literally got off of it after ten minutes. Facebook ive only ever used it to keep in contact with family abroad. You cannot get me anywhere near instagram and tiktok.
The best thing you said and it is something i tell my siblings who are on social media all the time. It is not the real world.
Cheers!
Its been 2+ (3?) years for me. It really does have drastic impact on your mental health. After a few months I didnt miss it.
This is Amazing! I’ve been thinking about doing this to! I want to get back to myself like the old days with no social media 😩 Congratulations on your social media detox!!! Keep it up 🙏🏻
This is where I all at right now. Habits changing, cravings are different.
I’m currently doing 6 months to reset and focus 100% on my goals; 1 month down, 5 to go . I don’t miss it and get so much more done now
It’s been 2/6 months for me since I’ve deactivated my account so far.. and honestly social media is sooo pointless and fake…To try to pretend to live this “perfect happy life” is so exhausting.. scrolling on there for hours makes me feel brain dead.. but when I free myself from that I feel free from comparison, procrastination and worries.. I might delete my account I’m not fully sure yet…
good for you baby girl! staying off of social media keeps you focused on whats truly important! its a huge distraction.
I haven't had social media in over a year and it's the best thing I could have done!
Cool
Yes life is so much peaceful and better without social media I wish I did it sooner..
“When you take a break from social media and you go back you realize how many dumbasses there are online” girlllll there have never been truer words!! I’m dying. Influencer culture is the worst 😂
I recently deactivated all my accounts I understand. I’m taking a long break!
I agree. It also feels like social media lacks personal art, like everyone is discussing one thing or everyone is just following the trending topics to get views. I cannot explain it clearly. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong and why social media feels off. But I feel often bored using it right now... And sometimes it feels frustrating that I have to use it for my music, as you must be active for your music to be heard... So it's like you're combining two jobs at the same time, and you don't like one of it. Idk, your video made me write this comment. I just feel like I'd love to spend more time in reality, although every time I post sth myself, I scroll through other stuff. Just tired
I relate to this so heavy. It’s crazy because I was just having a talk with my mom about how I’m ready to meet more people who don’t constantly obsess over social media. But it’s difficult to find others like you at my age. I’m 20 btw. Idc what people think, but when I say I don’t do social media like that, I get called boring 😂
i agree the people on social media are just over whelming all they do is argue, have these dumb debates that continue to divide people im just over it i get so irritated with the amount of dumb a** people i miss the days of not knowing how ignorant people are which is why i’m tryna disconnect im just tryna find other things to do to not be bored cause no matter what i get bored lol that’s my issue but i’m working on it 🤣
I deleted my social media a month ago and life then been great . It’s a sheep controller, on my momma.
You spoke the whole truth! I take the whole month of January off Facebook. And yes it's definitely a vibe, it takes you back to reality.
great thoughts and self examination, you made some good points
I did a three months fast wince ready to do it again
This is why I fell back for awhile. I understand where you coming from
I hope it's a positive change for you. Being able to recognize negative stimuli in your life and then to step away from them either temporarily or permanently takes strong cognitive skills and self-discipline. I'm sure that has, and will continue to, ring true for people in every age, past, present, and future, with abundant access to whatever the popular technology and social practices are at the time.
Dropped Facebook in January not feeling social media anymore 🍇✌🏿 thanks for the video
I relate to what you're saying because i been doing the same thing
I feel the exact same way
Only thing i have is youtube. Even that is social media lol. I find myself communicating alot on youtube.
If more people were using social media for the good than you’ll see allot of good things from social media. I been posting videos 3 years I’ll say if I was posting beefing with somebody airing dirty laundry year I’ll be noticed more. It seems like that’s what most people on social media is searching for who’s doing who wrong who’s cheating who who don’t care anymore. Or who looks better with nicer things yeah that’s what gives social media a bad name. If you think about it you have power too be a great influencer, motivational speaker on social media than tryna get on the tv or radio too talk. Me though I just wanna be a blessing to a person behind the screen often times our videos can be the closest to a friend a person has behind the screen. It depends on the persons intentions, motivations that make social media a good thing or bad thing. I added this video to my real talk Christian subject playlist I get a blessing each time I listen to them 😇
Facebook,Instagram,Twitter and Tiktok... i deleted it a years ago.... never regret at all never going back to loggin in again.
You're speaking nothing but facts 💯
BRuhhH yes tho organic timeline
best decision i ever made 😂 life feel likr butterflies
Meditation helps us to appreciate that feeling more
Loved this ❤would love to see more videos like this to keep us from relapsing back into social media lmao would also be great to see some of the books you’ve been reading
You’re so right 🙌🏼
This is me rn
Everything you said is sooooooo true.
Hi. Your channel was recommended to me. I'm interested in knowing what kind of writing besides journaling do you do?
sometimes I write poetry or I’ll write short stories to pass time.
@@kekelatrice2 Are you interested in publishing? My goal this year is to revise a book I wrote that has been collecting dust for about 10 years. If I get that done, I'll self-publish.
@@laterinlife0904 I’ve thought about it but it’s honestly just a hobby for me at the moment. Maybe in the future my mind will change however I definitely think you should publish! Is it fiction or self help?
@@kekelatrice2 It is fiction. I have a lot of poetry and short stories written as well. I just haven't done anything with them.
I deleted mine for the last almost 3 months.💯🙃
Yes androids do the same
Felt 💯‼️
Curious, what do you use on your skin?
11:19 Flamin' Hots Cheetos?!?!
Since you rejoined Tumblr, how has that been? I've been thinking about getting back on there
it’s been cool honestly. I get a lot of inspiration and ideas from there for the most part. Not a lot of interaction is happening there either so it’s pretty peaceful
@@kekelatrice2 tight! I love that. Do you get many follows or is it really lowkey?
@@Faaade_ it’s pretty lowkey.. I get follows here and there but it’s like one or two ppl at most.
@@kekelatrice2 Sounds good to me, I may get back up there
U super cute 🥰
