#instagram #toxic #socialmedia - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I'm grateful for your love and thank you everyone who has shared their experience/views in the comments. It really does help me and makes the world seem less cold❤️
You're a very wise and an intelligent young woman. Good job!
Oh wow! That was straight up head core truth. I’m a Scorpio too and damn. That was good . ❤️
Hey Purvi! I've been following your content on TH-cam since the very beginning and I absolutely enjoy it since it very grounded. Keep making these since they make people like me feel more connected and homely to creators like you. Its true that Instagram is a toxic platform and I ended up in the hell hole quite a few times since it took a toll on me and honestly speaking, quitting it brought a positive change in my day-to-day life. You are beautiful and these everyday imperfections makes us more real somehow. Keep making these contents, love you!
Appreciate your honesty and realness, Purvi! Keep being you and you will definitely reach heights! I can already see it in you. ❤️
I used to follow you on social media as a fellow fragrance and beauty lover. and sort of wondered where you went but I think what you’re saying makes sense. For the longest time i avoided having a private account because I didn’t know what to do with it. Looking at everyone’s lives seemed pointless. but for me personally it became easier when I started seeing ig as more a content creation platform. Just to share my thoughts on stuff that I’m obsessed with. Also, I unfollowed a bunch of people who used to trigger a feeling of comparison or dissatisfaction in me. That helped.
It’s so cute how you say “really”❤️
I absolutely agree with you on brain being unable to distinguish between reality versus the perfectly curated virtual reality. I used to operate an Instagram account for my website and I constantly felt like I was living in a virutal bubble of reality within a reality. I always felt anxious as if I am purposefully wasting my present. Glad I left it and got my real life back yay!
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom here 🥰😘
Stay Blessed
I used to be very obsessed with getting a bunch of likes and followers, to the point where it was all I cared about. Likes, followers, selfies, travelling just for the pics. I wanted to be instafamous so badddd. But after some self reflection, I privated my account, unfollowed and removed everyone I don't care about anymore. I can't express how much that had improved my mental health because now I can focus on my goals and live a personal life without worrying about whether this moment is aesthetic enough for instagram. I 100% agree with every point you've stated! If it affects your mental health, then it is the problem.
I already had anxiety and it grew more..Taking a first step to deal with it,I deleted all of my social media. Life feels so much better now. It will get better. Anyway,love your content.More power to you❤️!
Kudos to you girl. Agreed with everything that you said ❤️ and it's actually true that each and everyone is attention seeking in this era 🤷🏻♀️
Tbh I didn't even care if the video had makeup or not because what you said is so true!!!. Would love to watch more videos like this . Also I found you on yt not on Instagram so I think it's rights that theres no need to have an Instagram account for that . Good going girl ❤️
I am very very jealous toooo! Oh, god. THANK YOU.
u r very honest and deep purvi ❤️ i totally agree with you everyone can live without insta .
Welcome to the club beautiful, life without social media is serene. You're not gonna regret missing out on pretentious crap!
New Subbie! :) I love your authenticity xx
aweee 💕 you know Purvi I am maybe one of your loyal followers, and somehow I relate to that topic, I got the exact feeling before not giving a damn on instagram and other social media platforms. I am just an ordinary person, no luxury life, no bunch of followers, no luxury travels and no perfect life to share. Before ,I was so confused about what to post, what's in it, and why am I here, since instagram looks like a world of perfection. Like you, I also asked myself what can I share to the world that people will like and love and will get peoples attention, do I really belong here. I always come to think of the others, forgetting about what I really want, who I really am. I've been very anxious about it. It makes me think a lot like, we always want to do something for people to notice, to get people's attention, but I got nothing, I only have my reality. But I realized it's not always about them, it should be about me being not perfect. So lately, when I was able to know exactly what I love to do in life what I enjoy with my life, that's what I started to share even at facebook or tiktok. I don't even care if it's an interesting content to others or not, but to me it is what's making me excited and happy to share, without me thinking if someone will notice and like. What I love about my social media is that, whatever it is there, I Love, whatever it is there are my healing. I got a lot going on there, different posts, it looks a mess but i feel joy when I post them, I post them without thinking a lot. And That's what matters. 💕 I wish you find your healing..
Thank you so much beautiful human!... ❤️
@@PurviUpreti Keep going beauty 💕
give me that dopamine!! wow so true..
This hit so close to home.. i started late with social media. I had my own fb account i think on 2011 or 2012 and i opened insta on 2014 i think. I did not know what to do with it and my posts were all over the place. 🤣 i even opened twitter which i deleted and never knew how to use... but anyway, didnt know what to do with insta and noticed that i posted selfies there coz i thought Fb was not the right plstform for it. Why did i post selfies, coz honestly i was seeking praise and attention coz i did not truly love myself. Cheesy i know. But true... so i finally decided that i’ll post more of what i though was beautiful and so it became a photography dedicated page. But even then i felt insecure compared to the professional and more talented photographers compared to my novice photos.. but then i just gave up with the thought of competition and leveling and just did what i wanted and posted what i found truly beautiful.. then i started Yt and i decided to open a separate insta page and girl i was lost YEt AGAIN ! 🤣 like what you said, dang it i am not a pro photographer and i cannot post adverstising-level photos... so it took me a while to find my olace and now i just post about fragrances and write what i feel about them. And i do not care about the NUMBERS. On Insta and YT, NUMBERS are everything and it can be anxiety-inducing.. but really like you said, ppl can be showing that tiny percent of perfect. I just stay genuine. Inuse the same sweater, have the same white wall background in our living room and film on our dining table 🤣 this was so timely Purvi... thank you!!!
You're such a beautiful soul Paola ❤️😊 your comment makes me happy everytime tbh and I'm glad we were able to relate with each other on this. As I said, the world seems less cold. 🙏
I recently deactivated one of my FB accounts that I used for my channel as I had a massive breach of privacy when a troll called my work company. Felt good to deactivate it but I am also waiting for December 22nd as my FB page itself will be deleted, theres a 2 week time span and when that gets deleted I will be deactivating my personal FB account as well. I don't use FB all that much right now so it feels good but I don't want that itch anymore and Facebook itself just promotes misinformation. IG I use but it doesn't bother me, I just post my photo, don't care about the filter or the likes and that's it.
Mashalllah purvi!!! If everyone stopped caring about you I am your online friend!! Loll
❤❤
Hello Purvi, random question- will you be pre ordering Minuit Et Demi from Fragrance Du Bois?
Hii.. would love to try that but unfortunately wouldn't be pre ordering.
Dive into Faouzia Music
I've a friend who is doing weird dance, stuff on instagram to get followers idk why i just feel pity for him sometimes 🤦♂
im on insta for the pupps n memes
I think that's the only way to survive on the app.
I still have instagram and I don't know what to do with it lol
Lol
But you’ll still be reviewing fragrances here on this channel right??
Yes! ❤️
If you're not gaining in your business or using social media to advertising your products then being on it is pointless. You just end up looking at other people's boring lives trying too hard to be cool and relevant or you'll succumb to posting cringey content just because.... It's an utter waste of time. Especiall people with depression should avoid all social media platforms and try to find connection in the real world.
Don't agree with you. But every one has the right to their own opinion. Instagram can be a good place too if you follow accounts which truly interest you. Good place to find local small businesses, art and photography.. book reviews.. people like Jameela Jamil, Melany Murphy, etc show their vulnerable side too. It also gives power to the public. Like anything else, depends on how you use it 🤷 not everyone is posting for attention. It's a way to express. It's not my place to judge what people can and cannot share on social media... my opinion. 😐
I completely agree with you. After a long tiring day when I scroll through my feed, I feel so inspired most of the time...I know about new things each day. Like few accounts that I follow led me to want a sustainable lifestyle, and now I am working on it. There are so many informative pages. I hardly follow any celebrities/influencers. To each his own but I think it's a very powerful medium if one uses it smartly.
