    great video! I'm two weeks without social media except youtube, and the withdrawal is reaaal. It's crazy to me how these platforms can make you feel like you've made genuine connections with people..I had a lot of people from the community I'm in on there and it was like a relationship crutch to make me feel connected with others without even talking to them in person or hanging out. Now that it's gone, no one has reached out and it's so clear that these people weren't ever really friends - just acquaintances.
    The really positive thing I've already noticed from leaving is the privacy. It's no nice to know that no one is watching you from a distance on their phone, and they can't see how you're doing or what you're up to! It's really quite peaceful. When I would share things online I would have anxiety for about a week after. It's so abnormal when you think about it!

      Great insights, thank you for sharing. And I definitely agree with the privacy issue. That was one of my biggest motivators for dropping it. I'm glad to know you feel better without it. Awesome!

      lol hunny I come to the conclusion that we are all slightly touched in the head and we are lookin. For ways to express our thought s every day
      In reality and hunny I am totally honest. Media is people from all walks life and they live to watch and well some care sone jus passing the time. It is what it is do what best for you in thus life. Say poo poo and say prayers for better days all I know is we all on a journey I don’t care what others do or what they think at least I trying not to lol times precious and I want to enjoy life more period and let it be lol will I be back on media tomorrow maybe. But today what matters most and once more I repeat Serenity prayer and especially fir the wounded ones the stubborn ones the over thinkers the ones that can’t communicate 💙💜💙we are all in the same boat. Jus swim ! Well I am baking a pie rght now and Planting seeds again And I jus wanna day hugs to anyone reading rght now. Jus be. Do what makes you smile 🦋

    I met my husband in twitter and he is one of the best person I had ever met, I'm so thankful for that. But unfortunately twitter is not healthy for me anymore so I quit it a few weeks before. Its been pretty tough to realize how addicted I became, but actually I feel way better without it.

      That is so beautiful 😊 I am happy to know that people can use technology to find love. Now that you've found him though, I bet it will be more beneficial to take the time you would have spent on Twitter and maybe invest in the relationship and your own life as well. Good for you!

    "The weeds just remove themselves." I love that quote, Yesi! I don't think that people really get to know others online (dating or not). I believe face to face meetings and conversations via phone/video are more beneficial in getting to know others.
    The only social media account I have is Facebook and I only have it because a small amount of traffic comes from there to TH-cam. 😏 Eventually, I see myself letting it go.
    Most people will have you believe that social media is necessary to have a successful business, but I believe that social media isn't necessary. Its actually a waste of time. People who are truly successful in their business, do not spend a lot of time (if any) on social media. Cal Newport fan here!🙋🏾😊
    When I officially launch my business, I won't be using social media. I honestly believe I'll do well without it. 🤞🏾😊
    Thanks for the tips, Yesi! I'll check out the recommend books. 🌼 Take care!!

      It's certainly a lot easier to choose your words carefully when you're typing on a computer or texting vs. in person and in the moment.
      Your plans are really inspiring. I love your positive outlook! If you believe it will do well, then it will be so. Best wishes to you! 😁

    I rlly want to quit but I’m scared abt my presence but frank ocean has a presence and doesn’t use it but has a public account so I could do it again, also I want to focus more on my TH-cam content instead of scrolling on Instagram. I also want to write a poetry book and social media won’t help

    hello thanks for sharing this, im just wondering since im a small youtuber and wanted to keep posting contents, but i dont wanna use other platforms anymore thats why i deleted all of my social media. im just wondering how can they be updated if i dont have my social media to promote my new uploads, to begin with?

    • @stephanieocso
      @stephanieocso 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      i know that if they have their notifs on they’ll still be updated. but what helps me to gain heaps of views is by promoting it on my social medias. now im torn :( hope u could help

    • @YesiIbarra
      @YesiIbarra  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@stephanieocso I think it all comes down to what matters most to you. Some people can't control themselves on social media and they get sucked in easily, but one thing that someone else commented is that he uses an account specifically to promote his business. He says he doesn't add his friends on there or chat because it's strictly business. All he does is post some updates or content and then goes off. You don't have to leave it if it's important for you. For me personally, I had too many negative experiences with it that I am ok with taking twice as long to grow on TH-cam without it. Hope it helps!

      Yes, it works well for many people who have a good balance with it. This video isn't meant for those individuals. It's more for the people who don't "want" it in their lives and need an alternative. I know many people make a living from websites like Facebook and Instagram.

      I had actually never heard of it before. I think it all comes down to your experience with social media websites and wether or not you find them helpful for you. Some people have Facebook only for business and some have Whatsapp to talk to family in other countries. So I can't really say. It depends on what's important to you.

    i feel more happier without personal accout, i feel peace, comportable, i have business but when i posted to my account i dont recieve lot of likes comment. i need likes to prove im legit , i bake cakes, but i realize i waste time using personal accout, becouse my clients send me message personaly they are not reacting my posted cakes they giving me feed back thru personaly message, so i asking myself do i need personal accout? i think i can manage facebook page connected with private account that connected with facebook baker community group. so i can focus only managing my business.
    but using personal facebook i am not happy any more.. i feel anxiety loneliness, there are a lot of toxic people that they dont want to see you happy your achievements,your art , they do not care about your life , real friends real people who lovesyou will stay.
