jumpscare & 2024 update: I'm back on social media! 🤭
See why I made that decision here: th-cam.com/video/si_anWUiax4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QqhwS6L_LuxE0JMX
I haven’t had a social media in 3 years people think I’m hiding something. But the only thing I’m hiding is my private life that ain’t the worlds business
Right - if it isn’t a need-to-know, it’s not a need-to-know. Perioso!
🎯🎯🎯🔥
Currently 💛
Literally exactly the same as me 🙌 3 years without Insta and I don't even know how I had time for it, too busy living life and actually really enjoying it! ❤️
this is the one!
The relief of deleting Instagram cant be explained in words... You will find peace, get rid of insecurities, posts, likes, are quite fafing....
Love this video. A lot of my family think i dont do anything because it's not on Facebook or Instagram. Yes, im an introvert, but i do things alone mostly. I went to a Bourbon Festival and had a great time no one knew. I went to the No Limit Reunion in Norfolk and had a ball. Took 5 friends with me. I didnt put it online. Why because it's no ones business. Trips to Nashville and Myrtle Beach, and no one knew. I plan on going to Belize next year, and no one will know except my dad.
That’s how you do it! What ever happened to photo albums you keep in your house and you tell stories of all the places you been? Now that’s all online
love that for you if only everyone thought this way
Cool!
thats such a nice way of living. im trying to be that way too! its great so far
Lol I love this❤
Privacy truly is power! that's why I deleted my personal Instagram and just focus on the brand Instagram. This has been such a great insight because you can truly get lost with keeping up with other people, I love the point about the different emotions you feel while scrolling through your feed. You said it so well but can we also talk about how gorgeous you look? girl you are glowing!
Thank you so much Mea! Yes, getting rid of my personal accounts online have been amazing for my mental. Everything is about keeping up! even LinkedIn 👀
And you are so kind - I’m actually happy that not all my skin insecurities are transferring on camera, currently repairing my barrier as we speak 🥰
Yes, I just told a friend that I deleted my personal Instagram and now only have a page without any friends only to keep for brands etc only 😂
''Act like you been somewhere" i like that
I don't have social media and I'm in the most peace! People try to make you weird for not having it....smh
i’ll be the biggest weirdo for not having it … IN PEACE!
@@EvieAswitiamen ❤❤
I am no longer available interested or reachable virtually!
This is the one ☝🏾
Girl, I feel you! I deleted my personal Instagram a few months ago and I am only maintaining my brand instagram. That is going to be deleted soon also. I feel so free! I can enjoy my life without feeling like I need to keep up.
Oh the joy to be FREEEEEEE - congrats sistren. I love it here, and I'm glad you do too!
How are you going to promote your brand of you delete your brand page? I’m asking because lm thinking of doing the same but not sure how my business will run without my pages.
Being off social media and going to social gatherings made me more social. When I go out now I’m genuinely happy to be there bc 1st I’m not seeing everyone post about it, 2nd meeting new individuals without a knowledge of who I was or “who I am” online, and lastly there’s no identity of me online so if you want to build a connection you have to be serious by getting my number and texting me personally. Since I’ve been off social media I haven’t made any new friends which is kinda sad but good bc it filters out people that just went to waste your time or associate themselves with the person you are online.
I feel this way when I go out too. It definitely makes me more selective when meeting new ppl.
I feel like IG is keeping humans from really doing things of meaning. It’s keeping us in the dark. There’s so many negative things about it that I could go on about but you hit a lot of those points.
Do people even have a sense of “meaning” anymore? Or at least an awareness of it. That’s what I ask myself sometimes
“Granted, other peoples faces are beautiful, some are not….but that’s a different video” made me laugh 😂😂
🤣 I forget what I say sometimes
Only social media I have is TH-cam and I barely comment on videos unless it's necessary. Haven't opened my Instagram in about 7 years. Not bothered, not missing anything.
Thank you for commenting and you are right. You are not missing a THING
7 years! Wow !
Photo albums are so fun I just imagine my kid finding them when I’m all old and seeing how flossy they mama was🤣 and all the memories we captured of their childhood
I need to create a physical photo album with the old digital cameras for that film look
Another great topic. Social media can have these micro effects on your mental. Like you mentioned with cat analogy, you’re on this constant roller coaster of reactions and emotions and out of nowhere you can’t figure out why your mood is off. Another great video.
Yes!!! Like it isn’t normal to be having 15 emotions in 10 minutes. Thank you for always supporting and watching 😊
I deleted Instagram for good. Honestly I don’t have anything to post I’m not married I don’t have any kids I don’t have the highest paying job plus I’m not toting a YSL bag or a Louis Vuitton bag. I feel like that’s not reality. I rather follow people who are really living like me paycheck to paycheck or have real careers and really going through struggles. I just saw perfection on Instagram. I had to delete it yep. Plus I didn’t feel attractive at all with being a black woman. And I’m a pre nursing major yep. It was a lot. I just needed a peace of mind. Because nobody out here has a perfect life at all. It’s just a lot of people on there who are fake and trying to impress others that’s not me. Great video.
thank you!!
Right. !! That’s why i can’t wait to start posting on this new TH-cam channel i created I’m embracing slow & soft living and enjoying the mundane while figuring it all out well having God lead me
I had a habit of taking social media breaks from 2021 but somehow this year I’m just not interested in social media. I don’t want the validation anymore from people online. I feel like I’m LIVING right now. I’m in the now. I’m also mentally doing well and just able to progress in other areas of my life.
love this. keep living
I actually get your point and I believe in taking social media breaks at least once or twice a month, but the way we use social media matters. I use my socials intentionally, I follow people who add some sort of value to my life (people who share books and do book reviews ). I don’t compare myself with people on social media cause I know myself and I know social media is not a real place at all. Once someone’s account make me feel some type of way, I immediately unfollow. I also don’t follow influencers, celebrities, models and accounts like the shade room.
So in essence, social media has its advantages, use it intentionally ❤
very well said 💕
Looool @ “do we have to take a picture of the garlic bread 🤣
Do we? 😆
@@EvieAswiti I mean I do love me some garlic bread 😂 but I hear u lol
Same girl same
😂❤
I remember kodak era when we had to wait for pictures to be developed. When our picturss came out we were all excited.
I’m cackling bc at first glance of this comment I thought of Kodak Black 😂 but yes that was A TIME
I only use social media for my business. Aside from that I couldn't care less about it and have always been this way, it is an unnecessary distraction. My only focus right now is to become wealthy and to lead a better quality of life. If it doesn't pay me or enhance my knowledge, I'm not interested!
I’m here for that take - gotta do what is best for you and sometimes that means going against the grain.
Deleted my Facebook, Snapchat and twitter and deactivated my Instagram. Not sure when I would be back to IG but when I get back I am deleting it permanently. I feel so much peace without it
The peace is top tier
I’ve been away from Instagram for about a month. I’ve been thinking more and more about removing my account. Relationships mean a lot to me, and I haven’t had that reciprocated from the connections I’ve made online. The way we use social media and other things have hindered us from truly having connection. So, maybe it is time for me to bounce.
maybe it is! do what it is best for you
this is so true
Done I'm off the grid healthy happy & living my life likes it's golden ,😆
Heavy on the golden! 🏆
LOL the beginning had me cracking up because that's how I started feeling prior to deleting all my social media accounts- what is truly the reason for some of these pictures. It's been such a huge relief deleting it all
Yessssss. Free the garlic bread!
I deleted all my social media 3 years ago and I LOVE it!
veteran status 👏🏾
Yes, I deactivated my fb & ig and I received so many calls asking am I ok... why am I hiding. Weird vibes
😂 they’ll adjust
I deactivated my FB account 2 years ago I believe your “moving in silence “ video helped to maintain my absence.
It was so refreshing I was out touching grass and stuff but I relapsed last week because I was in a vulnerable season . My anxiety level went up. Now I feel it adds no value ,like why am I even on there? SM is tacky and childish .
Haha @ "tacky" I love that word (I have another video on that). Yeah when you go back you realize that whatever you *though* you were missing is a liiiiie lol - you'll be ok though!
Definitely speaking gems here! I am not ready to delete mine, but I agree with so many of your thoughts. IG is overwhelming and I feel like it has stop most of us from being present in the moment.
Yep! Take breaks it’s healthy
I had trouble with this at first but eventually i did and i felt so much at peace. No comparison. Great video ma'am. Love from Tanzania
I’m happy for you! Life is sweet ❤️ thank you for watching my fellow East African
So right sweetheart, thought I was the only one that thought it was a compkete drain on life
Proud of you sis. I’m so much happier off IG too!!
Thank you love! It’s so much sweeter in the other side
every point and you mentioned in your video, almost scarily resonated with me. It felt like you were reading my mind haha 😂 but it is really true social media, especially Instagram has been such a addiction to the most of us and actually I stopped going to Instagram for the past over one month although I haven’t deactivated my profile yet I’m really thinking about it since I realised I have no problem staying off Instagram and just like you mentioned I feel way better about myself about my image and I actually have time to do things I didn’t have time for before.
Yes! This, this and thissssss.
The same was people in the past modernised society with big cities, the super market, moving from news papers to phones and internet, is the same way modern people will want to eventually move back to a more simple life with less technology, more mindfull of the ingredients they eat and how its made, and just take life more simple. No rush, no stress, no pressures of life. The only pressure is to farm food in time for harvest and to get back home from being out in nature in time to start dinner 😊😌🧡👩🏿🌾
yep I see the growing trend of ppl wanting to grow their own food too
*do we have to take a picture of the garlic bread*
😹
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love this! I've used Instagram alot when I was a blogger, I quit just around the time the word influencer came about. Despite all that I've never kept up with what people do, I've always just been a content creator who threw stuff up there and was really preoccupied with my own feed. Since I stopped I now only go in there to keep up with news (politics and such). Life is better without these apps, it's good to see videos like yours
thank you! appreciate that
Amen best thing ever! Glowing as usual
thanks so much love - more to come!
I absolutely agree! I love this!
thank you hun
thank you, this video is the last push i needed
you’re welcome. enjoy the journey!
I hope this video blows up even more!!! Love your work!
Same… there’s so many gems 💎 in this video. Thank you so much!
@@EvieAswiti you're very welcome Evie. Love from Ireland x
I have found that my conversations revolve around what I see on social media and I don’t like it.
Finding your channel today let’s me know that I am on the right path. Social media detox starts on 8/1. I am looking forward to it. 💜💜💜
I came here after realizing I haven't seen you on ig for a min. I love that your page is thriving!!
Thank you! Yeah, I threw IG away. Been the happiest ever since!
It’s the facts your dropping and the glass skin for me 👌🏽
Thank you babes!
"Do we have to take a picture of the garlic bread" 😂this killed me. Awesome video, you literally hit on every concern I've had with Instagram over the last few months.
😆 The way I cackled bc the garlic bread comment kills me too. Thank you for watching!
I just ran across you and I love what I’m seeing and hearing stand firm the ultimate WOMAN!!! Reach out to me HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Thanks 😊 welcome to my channel
And happy holidays!
Howdy hey, baes! ❤ Here’s my 1 year update since quitting social media: th-cam.com/video/2Jd-X9fWpoQ/w-d-xo.html
New sub…wow this is sooo me and I totally resonate with it. Yes the choke hold is real…been really contemplating this as well. I truly believe my spirit led me here because of it. Glad to know as a video creator that I am not alone. I’m an introvert as well but I love to serve my peeps on the YT platform it’s so much versatility here. I am NEVER trying to keep up with anyone. Why fit in when you were born to was born to STAND OUT! Thank you for GLOWING and being LIT 🔥 (literally) from within!
Love the VIBES here! ❤
Aw you are so welcome. Appreciate you watching and the lovely compliments. NOTHING is a coincidence 😉
@@EvieAswiti facts 💯
Very interesting insight i am jumping on board I’m going to try 7 days and take it from there like she said she started
Agree with you so much!!!
Yes those filter faces are getting out of hand!! It wasn’t bad at first. But now it’s getting out of hand. I can’t get into that. It just a way to make you feel more insecure…..that’s my opinion. Spirit told me to take a break from instagram and I did.
Love this! ❤
thank you!
You’re my favorite TH-camr
Aw this means so much to me 🥹 thank youuuu
I’ve deactivated my instagram and Facebook in March of 2021. Haven’t been on twitter since I forgot my password in 2013. I find it to be a waste of time.
That was me to a T
New subscriber! 🌺 I deleted ig a week ago.. And i feel so ful of life...
Life is sweet! And awww welcome 🤗
“do we have to take a picture of the garlic bread” after I’ve just uploaded a video on insta of the food from my dinner outing honestly it was just chips and salad…it didn’t need an upload. Took that down swiftly!😂
😭😭😭
I appreciate you and this! Found you by accident but I'm here to stay haha
Yay! Love that - welcome to my channel 💕
Inspirational. Following.
I never had an IG account or TikTok account. Although I do have a Twitter account, I'm getting to the point where deleting my Facebook account for good doesn't feel like it's enough to make me feel better! The "Why doesn't anyone like my posts while everyone else gets over 100 comments?" or "Am I alone when I say that I'm a fan of certain actors?" thoughts when I'm on Twitter don't seem to want to go away!
New subscriber because of this video. I always deactivate my IG. I might keep or that way. I only made an IG to attract ppl to my TH-cam channel. Didn’t really work out how I planned lol
😂 yeah you gotta do what’s right for you - thank you and welcome!
Tic tok is 10 times worst if you rock with tic tok you aren't off socal media at all.
I feel the same way about the whole DM thing. It actually hurts my feelings when my friends only DM me and don't check-in. I deleted my Instagram & I've never felt more free
I feel the same Radiance. At that point just demote the friend 😆
100% agree with everything you said
Thank you, love!
Tbh I struggled for awhile deleting all my social media cold turkey but I grew tired of it overtime. Everything you are saying I relate to.
thanks for sharing - I just returned to social media. more on that in my next video
Loooove it!
New era alert!!!!
Purrrr! You already know 😉
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 652 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Congrats and keep going!
@@EvieAswiti Thanks! This channel also inspired me to upload my recent videos to share my opinions about the main things that truly impacted the way I live. They're a couple of my most vulnerable videos that I've been hesitant to post for many months because of the fear of being misunderstood but I finally decided to overcome that fear so others can learn from my experience so we can all grow together. They're packed with valuable information about the relationship between a job and happiness.
I been social media free for 2 months
good for you!
5:26 yes! I'm realizing how pretty I am also, since being off social media. Very unexpected 😅
super unexpected!!!
it feels like everyone is performing instead of living now
very much so
I levelled up by never opening an Instagram account. My soul told me ‘you don’t need this son’
I loved the intro 😂. Took me right out
haha thank you
“granted, some people’s faces are beautiful, some are not, but that’s for another video” 😂😂😂 i love it here!
I forgot I said that 🤭 yay! I’m glad you do
I was like ok tell me how you really feel 😅
LOL!!!!
Honestly! I can’t understand why I keep on reactivating my instagram, but I’m doing the work to find the root of it. Are you still off the grid sis?! Update us!
@moorelivinwithxbeautyy Ironically I am gonna film an update video so stay tuned!!! 😉
I agree with you except the taking pics part. I like taking pics for memories and aesthetics. I get that you should act accordingly however whether you want to keep those pictures private or share it, so be it. I do get what you're saying though.
thanks for watching hun. i see your perspective too. I love a pic, but sometimes I don’t wanna take 100 shots to get the perfect photo. It’s less pressure for me
Just deleted my Instagram 🙌🏽.
congratulations!!!
I just decided today to delete mine.
I’m thinking about it slowly because of my kids pictures.
But I want to be gone gone .
congrats! it’s a process
My phone came with ig ap but I have never set it up at all, just like I don't have Snapchat and a lot of other apps.
I had a dream of wisdom and she looked exactly like you
Hi! Ive been off instagram for a while! It became too much for me! On another note, I saw a funny meme that said: “the internet went down, so we had to talk to one another”! So funny but true!
😂 when social media crashed a couple of years ago i was like “life is great”
Left Fb in 2012,IG 2014 ppl keep asking me to come back but I haven’t it’s all good
Good for you ❤️
I think i actually struggle with deleting my Instagram even though it’s completely useless and exposes me to people I don’t even care about, mind you, I have less than 90 followers which are former high school mates, new and old friends. I recently realised that I might fear being forgotten, which is insane because who the heck is immortal?
this comment was deeper than rap
This is exactly how I felt but I’m like forget that….those who really matter the most will never forget us when we transition
It’s hard for me because I’m a musician - I’ll take a break though
Melanin popping... post more videos
Thank you love! More on the way - it’ll be a challenge but I’m pushing myself
wow what mask or product is on your face 😮
Sis.. yes, I had to take the picture of the garlic bread😩😝🤣
I deleted my Instagram. The audacity to make me wait 30 days until it’s gone! 27 days left..😮💨🙏🏽
😂 I still do just to keep it in my camera roll shh…
lol!!!@@EvieAswiti
👏
I have a problem and I'm not taking it anymore lol
ion think they hear you Evie!😩😩
also, i pray abundance and success onto your life. i can tell you’re gonna get so far with this. pleasseee be consistent lol.
Thank you! It’s a challenge but this is just what I needed to hear 🙏🏾
Hi Evie
Just wondering, do you still not have instagram? And do you think you would ever go back? 😅

@MissAngieA you’re welcome
If I didn’t have groups that use FB for classes/forums, I’d be deleting these apps!
Get the grades but as you should! Purrr
@@EvieAswiti I lost the plot.
No to keep it for school but if otherwise not pay it any mind
God bless you too
@@EvieAswiti Gotcha. 🙌🏻….
not gonna lie, it's painful to not get what you see on the internet ;-)
Quite the contrary, I’m not missing a thing. I love it here.
I actually prefer reading. I feel like I can get to the point quicker than watching a video.
Reading will never go out of style. EVER!
I can see my reflection on your forehead
as you should
I don't bother with IG as looked hectic. I'm thinking now that back before the net how housewife's consumed magazines for similar content on IG ! I use FB a lot though, I find that handy in a number of ways ☀️
The IG culture is not it for me. I can’t put my finger on it but it’s a no for me. My peace is better.
