Hurts seeing people literally loosing their best years of life, the 20s on social media, simply scrolling and day dreaming and blaming their lives instead of building a solid career, building a class, getting your dreams checked, and spending their best years with their parents
Because of my exams I haven't used Instagram since 3 months and I have become mentally more calm. It really works when you don't use these apps. You become more focused, more calm, more disciplined etc. That's what I have experienced.
I left social media coz i was constantly feeling bad about myself, i was feeling as if everyone is ahead of me and i am not doing any substantial productive thing in life. Now it has been 5 months and can't express in words how happy and satisfied i am by not having social media in life
I havent used insta since 4 years. And i just made my profile on insta few days back because I was bored.... Seeing my own friends having a made-up image made me 🤮. Some of my friends who don't even reply to my texts on WhatsApp started commenting on my pics and liking my pictures 🤣🤣 matlab itna doglapana laate kaha se hai log? Plus my besties who are my jaan didn't even upload a single picture of mine on their insta grid ( I am not a fashionable person maybe) but they have posts of their acquittance who are kinda good looking but trash in real life. Itna doglapan deke mujhe gussa Aata hai. I delete my insta immediately seeing this fakeness.
I am a CA student , I have to sit down at home only and study ... And people are posting stories or post on insta of enjoying in club , going to hill station or beach ...and much more things ...make me distracted that what I am doing and make me unhappy also . So this is true , this distract us from our goal ... Now I have deleted my I'd and uninstalled insta ...now I am happy and busy in doing what I likes and doing hard work for achieving my goal 😁
Ya it happens often with me preparing for upsc. It give a lot of distractions and make harmless impact on health. I was quite disturbed for being studied a lot then I thought let watch some reels and make some fun. Then happen + - = -
Hailing from hill station (Darjeeling), I can say that people here are more or less the same, on the same boat...it's exotic and breath of fresh air for the tourists but not so for the locals...in fact many are suffering from the mental illness which is sad...in real life, everyone's got their own problems but insta helps create the illusion of living the life of success and happiness...no wonder we get miserable and left distraught at the juxtaposition...
I’m a company secretary & a teacher since 11 years, I so second you on this. I’ve seen students doing everything just because they want to share on insta. When we were in teens or early 20s we use to have amazing conversations, sports, so many other things, we were not even bothered about clicking & recording everything. Life was unfiltered & more meaning full. Spreading this message is so important.
Sir your advice is so good for that i Just want to say sir please have some research about purpose of life like which religion should be followed to me it's Islam because I've done a lots of research i request you to read holy Quran with good intentions like u really care for Truth and say oh my creator guide me my point is most of the humans living there life just like an animal doesn't matter what they are like doctor pilot all of us for an example animals life is eat sleep have sex make babies and then death so as a human we should be sincere about purpose out our life as a Muslim we believe this life is a test for hereafter and prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is the last and final messenger of Allah and holy Quran is the last and final messenger of Allah for all mankind sorry sir but i wanted to give a gift i think this is the most important topic
This is the same Chetan Bhagat who said “What do historians do? I am genuinely curious. This happened. Then this happened. Then this. Ok work done for the day”. LOL so just keep your senses and analytical mind in check while idolizing / taking opinions seriously of this ideocraticc man.
Hi, I am not on any social media except WhatsApp and TH-cam. But when I say this to anyone they're like ki tum Zinda kyun ho. But i think this video will act as eye-opener for those who are unknowingly addicted with these stuffs. Great work sir.
Yeah even now TH-cam had TH-cam shorts that's really addiction as reels. So I decided not to see any entertaining video , only self growth videos. Sometimes I don't like to use WhatsApp also, I just call and talk to person.
@@soundaryasrinivas3520 yeah, WhatsApp also acts like insta sometimes like checking your phone again and again to see if she or he messaged or not but for imp documents WhatsApp is imp
Thts exactly what I have.. TH-cam and WhatsApp. I got rid off FB and Insta long time ago due to fake and phoney perfect lives being showed by content creators. . I also dont follow ppl on YT that show nothing but perfect happy lives.. Its too good to be true!... I have a channel where I am trying to be grateful for little things in life amidst chaotic daily routine. But ofcourse my channel is progressing slowly... as I am not showing my face or wasting food or doing crazy things to attract people's attention.. But I will try to stick to my mantra of making videos on little things that can be joyful. I am glad you said this because I was told same and looked down upon by my close friend .. she said to me.. tere paas ab insta nahi hai... tu FB pe nahi hai toh tu karti kya hai? ... I am a mom of a 5 yr old... taking care of a child is so difficult without help. She knows this and she doesn't have a kid... so maybe difficult for her to understand. But kya yehi life hoti hai ? log bina Insta aur FB ke jaise jina hi bhul gaye ho. The friends that said to you ki tu zinda kyun hai... lol.. tell them because I know how to enjoy zindagi. 🤗
I left Instagram 3 months ago, and I can see the extensive progress in me. I admire the little things around me. And I'm moving closer toward my goals. I build a sense of self-sufficient attitude within me which doesn't require outside validation. It's healthy for us, try it.🌱🙃
Same here I also disabled my account 3 dyas ago and now I prefer to sit alone doings nothing instead of watching reels on Instagram. And it's also helps me in focusing in others things ❤️
Its been 2and a half years since I shunned all the social medias and I have achieved amazing result Im more focused now and also my mental health is much better Im a student BTW
It's almost been 9 months since I deactivated my IG account. Trust me when I tell you, I've been happier, more calm, started working out, gotten a job & stopped comparing myself to others
I deleted Instagram months ago since I am preparing for medical entrance exams And it's my drop year, It was just increasing my anxiety I always wonderd how pretty these girls are with perfect bodies, perfect life they got everything and here I am stuck in my room trying so hard to just be okay It affected me adversly but after I deleted it I am so much happier It was hard at first but I got used to it
@@drosophila510 don't worry ... Everything will be alright....But first thing .... believe on yourself... Reels are nothing but created reality that attracts us in a imaginery world 🙂🙂🙂
Off late I had been feeling extremely anxious, stressed and alone. While I was listening to you, it struck me that whenever I feel sad, I turn to instagram and endlessly scroll various videos. I feel nothing while watching them but I still do. Now it acts as a stimulator and my mind is conditioned to feel sad as soon as I open reels. I'm not going to mindlessly scroll videos anymore. No one else is going to do this for me. I gotta do this myself.
insta and fb caused my relationship with my gf to end. People she used to follow were overly and unnaturally positve, she wanted our relationship to be like what you see pictures captioned "relationship goals or Couple goals". those posts actually influence todays youth to a great extent. I wish relationships could be like it was 10-12 years ago.
I can relate this ... This has happened with me too... I lost my relation due to the influence of social media. But the fact is there are people who actually don't care anymore for the real life rather she is happy with the fake world she is living in now. Nothing can be done to people who actually are addicted to an extent that if you can ask them to quit ....it's like an impossible thing for them. Social media is just crap.
And that's why, I, a 25-year-old girl from Mumbai, took down all my Instagram posts 2 years ago, and uninstalled Instagram app from my phone a year ago. I can personally say that my time is better utilized and I have set my priorities right. I feel i don't compare myself with the parts of life that people share, and feel bad about my life or myself. I am so glad i decided to do this.
The time wasted on unnecessary and mindless scrolling over social media can instead be used for some productive work/self growth/doing something for the society, etc. I vouch for this since this is tried and tested by me. I have not been on any social media since 2 years. People these days have literally gotten addicted to post every damn thing on social media. As if the primary reason they travel, eat, wear a new outfit, attend a function, go for a party is that they can show to the world that they are living a life. One of the main reasons I quit Insta was because there was too much information to take in. Yes 'too much'! Read about dark web and you will realise how harmful too much information is for our mental health. And then there are also the so called social media influencers most of whom just keep spamming the news feed every now and then. According to me, if we really want our future generations to remain sane, we should strictly avoid the use of such apps which not only waste our time but also create inferiority complex followed by many other problems as rightly pointed out in this video.
Thank god someone has the guts to talk about it! I had deleted my Instagram and Facebook since 2018 and that’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken. Sadly I come across as weird 8 out of 10 times when I meet someone to say that I don’t have an Instagram account. Funny how we as a society are evolving.
I deactivated my Instagram account .. it really helped me to stay calm and focused ... But the multiple dimensions of consequences of addiction you told are really awakening... Thanks a lot 🙏
Absolutely right, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter all these can ruin our life and also youtube if it is seen unnecessarily. Messages from this kind of videos are very scientific and very close to messages from our real spiritual people, every video gives a stong message to change ourself and backed up with science that's why I really love to see these videos.
I deleted my Insta account back in 2018 as I was preparing for an exam and didn't want to get distracted. For a few days I felt a bit... Emptiness, as I had this habit of scrolling and reading the other writer's posts (because I had a writing account for poetry and short stories, never had a personal account). And when you're in creative realm, you tend to compare yourself with others, and I was into that realm. So, I quit insta. And believe me that craving of scrolling faded away in few weeks. Although i had some online writer friends, school friends connected with it, I realized, none of that matter. If you want to stay connected with insta friends, better have WhatsApp for that. 2018 and back to 2022, it's been 4 years and I haven't looked back. P.S. I never used Facebook, Twitter or any other SM app out there. YT and Whatsapp bhi kam hi chalta hai due to job. And I have more peace of mind. Om Namah Shivaay 🌺
I respect each and every word you said sir, it's the reality of life we students who are in our early 20s have so much to do with life but giving it away for what? In the end, we are left with only one thing: regret, the regret of wasting time and life, the regret of not being there where we deserve to be. I myself use insta and want to limit it. I will try my best
Instagram show off krne k liy hai bss hm compare krne lgte h apni life se, modals ki pic triggered krti h or mind me kafi negative thoughts aate h hmare target se htata h or waste of time h meri insta Id h pr me use nhi krta id b isliy bnai thi taki me 1 youtuber se personal life regarding que puch sku. Thanks sir hmesa achhi bate btane k liy🙏
Great video.. highly appreciate such a great wise advice .. really social media, useless videos and reals are taking our precious time and so our life. Thank You for sharing your thoughts and guidance to our youth and all 🙏
I unintentionally deleted and left instagram 4 years ago. and that is one of the best decisions I have ever made. downloaded once when I got into college coz everybody was following eachother and was nice way to socialize. but I deleted it in 2 days.
Well I feel that excessive usage of anything and everything is bad and not just Instagram. just like you, I am also very active on Instagram but I do go there with a purpose which is to help people either make money or stay healthy. I really dont waste my time mindlessly scrolling other people's content as its a vicious cycle as you said. So as long as we are just using it instead of being addicted, its fine. But a wonderful video and always love your thoughts Chetan. Regards, Piyush Gupta
The way you are picking up these much needed topics is a great service for this country. Even if 1% of the youth actually take steps to rectify these shortcomings, we can be a great nation.
What a wise advice! You are doing a daring job Sir! When such words are coming from person like you. It's definitely making an impact and sense. It's an eye opener and harsh reality especially for those who gets carried away as a result of which they are over using such social media platforms. Thanks Real Life Hero👏👏
@@parulsrivastava8202 No No, we can’t tolerate any more such Videos.😬😬 Motivation has simply became a greater business these days. A Person with Clear Vision, Proper why , a disciplined action Plan never ever requires Motivation. Motivation is mainly for the lazy people who’ve almost no interest and no vision in doing the thing what he/she is doing.
It’s been 1 year since i have deactivated my instagram Life has become more simpler , calmer & happy .I am not dependent on anyone’s validation ,like ,comment or Dm . I can see life more clearly n taking the imp steps for my career
Damn!! Was discussing this with my friend last week and a girl our common friend said this is not for people like us because we don't know what life is. And we felt really good about it to be honest.
I dont know about your goal or intention of making this video, But You are damn true man!!! I appreciate your thoughts words and views towards IG. You have awakened many out there with your fresh message, Greattttt!!!
I completely agree with Chetan Bhagat here. i stopped using instagram since the pandemic and i have never been happier. I Use it only for business and not for anything personal anymore. Because that is bullshit. Your personal shit you should keep it yourself. Why should i watch some photo of a guy or girl i dont even know, i am not even going to meet in real life and talk as real friends, instagram just makes you feel insecure when you look at other people's feed as if they are enjoying there life, going to Goa and Alibag but that's not the reality. These people are more fucked up in reality than you know, but they potray a complete different self on instagram. Staying away from that toxic shit will help you achieve your mental peace.
It has been 4 years since I deactivated my facebook account....and 2 years since I stopped using instagram. This has enabled me to watch 100s of movies and read dozens of books
Everything you said is so on point sir... I too have experienced finding a dull environment around and going back to the phone all the time which is a lie, which is not normal world. I have been feeling lost by this but was not able to release what is wrong with me. Thank you for opening the eyes of our society.
I feel one of the major reasons why we aren't able to quit social media is the inner satisfaction which we most often experience when get a compliment from someone whom we know we aren't going to meet in real. Then sharing our daily life is another major reason which I find is pretty addictive.
LinkedIn is no different. Probably a little better than Instagram. Wanna see real success? Just stay away completely from social media for an year. You will become better both professionally and personally.
Fully agreed. The random reels and most contents are very addictive and actually a waste of time. The blind rush to gain followers are ruining relationships.
I was one who spent hours scrolling through Instagram reels ,I gained nothing but deep dissatisfaction .I don't think I can limit the use of it .So I decided to quit Instagram. Now it's been a month and honestly I'm feeling so good with my life.
Thanks a lot Chetan sir for discussing this serious topic. Instagram was a good app but now it's ruining the youth,wasting precious time scrolling reels, feeds,feeding insecurities. The reels feature is the worst.Now you can't even open the explore page infront of your family or friends. No matter what you search ,It'll show the most disgusting post or reels on your explore page. You cannot unseen all these things. The best way to get rid of this addiction is to not posting anything online. People are running after instant gratification, 1 sec dopamine rush.Now a days kids have Zero or no patience to watch something good or listen something, forget about books(not all but 80%). Thats why this 15/30Seconds video apps are growing so fast and making billions.
Well, I did quit social media for last 3 years, and recently got back. Here's my take, Yes, there are negetives to instagram, but nobody asked you to follow certain things or certain people. People don't know how to use social media to their advantage, how to use it mindfully. You can bring alot of positivity and information into your life if you are following the right people and influencers. Nobody asked you to follow people you met 6 years ago. You can restrict accounts, you can always choose to take a break if you feel like you don't want to know what's up with the world. I was incapable of doing it once and quit media altogether. But now I see how it's important for me to have a social media presence. I share what I want to, don't give a damn about the trends. And not everybody is same or living the same life, so comparison is real but it's futile. Once you understand this, it won't bother if someone is partying and you are having a breakdown at 2 AM . And understand social media shows only the good part of someone's life. It's not real. It's a fantasy world with some fragments of reality.
hey! I have been thinking about deleting Instagram several times but I find myself download it again after a while like after some exam or when I feel like I have enough data left and this time I am gonna deactivate it for good . all I want to ask from you is will it help me in the long term like you know as you said we don't know how to use it to our advantage mind giving some thoughts?
u elaborate all so nicely....if we dont use our mind for create choices on social media ..than we can easily get manipulated by algorithms of mass choices
@@ManjotSingh-sf5qn well it seems legit, when you don't want distractions you simply take a break. If you seriously want to do a proper detox and get in touch with what's real. I suggest you delete your Instagram and don't install until all your urges are gone. Once you get comfortable with the realities of this world ( which insta definitely is far away from ) you will realise how fake everything is on Instagram. Instagram is addictive so it will be hard initially but trust me in a few months you will love not having a instagram. Come back only if have understood it's fake af and you have to limit your time it. Otherwise, you will fall in the same rut again. It's just take some time off and figure out what you want and don't give into your impulses. Advantages: Networking Finding like minded people Communities Informative content Humour Influencers for positive influences U can even build your own community These are few opportunities that instagram or other media platforms offer us. And put a time limit to that as well.
@@simrangupta1308I don't think I understand what these advantages were for like: will these be the advantages which I'll have when I come back to Instragram after a proper detox?
@@ManjotSingh-sf5qn well these are some pros of instagram that simply can enhance your overall being if used correctly. A person who know how to use technology for his advancement > A person who rejects technology> A person who is controlled by technology. You can always decide not to come back if that's what working for you.
I’ve already deleted instagram, Snapchat and Facebook yesterday before watching this awesome thing but I still thing that I am so blessed that I got this video to watch ,literally thank u so much for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Chetan, I nominated your name for having a Collab with Sandeep Maheshwari. I personally feel there is no person better than you to have a Collab with him. I really hope you meet him. You are genuinely one of my favorite TH-camrs who doesn't make too much noise and always sticks to the point and gives genuine advice and ideas. Thank You Chetan Bhagat for everything.
i was excited too but the recent posts by sandeep maheshwari regarding prashant and the way he dealt with the situation have really made me rethink my views towards him. i feel like we have given him a demi god status and maybe it has gotten to his head. i also cant forget how in one of podcasts, he said "he has stopped reading books" because it seems like he has it all figured out. that statement seemed very ignorant, to have someone of that position say such things was incomprehensible for me . i mean the most intellectual of people- bill gates, warren buffet, elon musk talk about the importance of reading. i believe we as people especially indians need to stop putting people so high up there and idolise someone. so yeah for him to have an interview with an author when he has made such statements would be hypocritical in some sense.
@@farihahkhalidshaikh1535 I agree to you in many ways and especially he is also deviating from his path of not inviting any celebrity on his platform or not going to any celebrities platform or media interview etc. But these days he is just doing anything to increase views on his channel. Also, he criticizes things with an arrogant perspective which is not good as you said even Elon musk and warren Buffett don't do that. So Sandeep Maheshwari's actions and choices and words have started disappointing the intellectuals among us but I hope he doesn't continue that disappointment and anyways most of the Indian public is just a blind follower and they don't have any thoughts of their own so let them do what they do and in our case let's just only follow him or anybody for that matter as long he makes practical sense. PS: I recommended Mr. Chetan Bhagat for the interview with Sandeep Maheshwari because he (Chetan Bhagat) is far better than any other Indian youtuber for me at this time from practical advice and time "well spent" perspective. But Chetan sir himself is very busy and I don't know if he is willing to do the interview but it will be so much better for Indians to get more exposure to Chetan Sir because he really makes a lot of practical sense.
@@realbobbyaxel well said, i really appreciate your unbiased views. i like how you said we should only follow him if he makes practical sense. i think the same too. everyone has good and bad sides to them, we can try to take the best from each person and ignore the bad. as intellectual and aware people, we should listen to everyone with an open and non judgemental mindset but at the same time think for ourselves too. we shouldn't blindly follow anyone and give them a god status. i dont hate mr. sandeep, i have admired him for a long time but ive seen him become more and more arrogant over the years, and history has been a witness that arrogance has led to the downfall of the greatest individuals. i hope he can realise his shortcomings and rectify. he has worked really hard to earn this reputation and support. it would be really sad to see it all crumble down because of his condescension and youre right, people need to get more exposed to mr. chetan's ideas, his perspectives are really pragmatic and can be applied easily and he talk about topics relevant to our youth. i think he would definitely provide great value to the viewers. so if more exposure means being invited to sandeep sir's session, it would be worth while.
@@farihahkhalidshaikh1535 having said that, Sandeep Maheshwari has accepted where he went wrong and he is still very very much better than other Indian TH-camrs who just want to make a very quick buck and just to fool their audience. Sandeep Maheshwari has very high standards and that is the reason why we trust him so much. I am sure he is still one of the best and mistakes happen sometimes. But 99% of India TH-camrs are frauds and we gotta be careful around them and their integrity doesn't come close to Sandeep Maheshwari and Chetan Bhagat.
even I am not active on Instagram from last one year and I never found anything is missing in my life😂. you know we scroll insta for 1 hour and found nothing productive but anxiety.
From many days i was thinking to delete my insta account, but after watching it I straight forward went and deleted my account... Bcoz too excess to information which could affect your mental health, gives you inferiority complex, those empty scrolling after sometime time makes you feel regret about losing your time...
Using instagram has not been healthy for my brain and I realize this even better after watching this video. It’s sad to see that many things which are now considered normal are actually not good for our health. Thanks for spreading awareness about something which nobody wants to talk about. ✨
Yeah, Instagram gives that obsession of counting numbers in terms of likes and views and it's very addictive. But i am happy,in my case, It embraces my work,as i upload my music videos and people likes it! And i use to be looking after numbers,but now i just post whenever i like and just leave it. And that makes Instagram not a addiction to me.
Your each and every words said in this video makes real sense sir and me too feel the same . These modern world apps actually making us living in a fake world in we don't know how to handle these apps . If we don't know the ways to use it , it can destroy our goal and our future . Be aware of social media . Use it productively 💯😊 . Thank you sir for all these real meaningful words . I truly admire you
Love you sir. Thanks for uploading informational content for youth like us. Every young person needs a mentor like you Keep going on sir hats off to you. I will try my best to manage everything and will not get addicted.
Thanks a lot sir for inspiring the youth like us because no one is there to guide the teenagers or those who are in age of 20-25 about these issues , if you all are not able to totally stop it then just have a simple app timer for it.
Great advice. Am not using any social media apps from past few years and really life and phone both have become so peaceful. Just ur daily targets, musics and occasional movies is more than enough for me.💙
I think this thing is impacting many lives nowadays! It is really a big concerning topic that everyone should take seriously! I m dealing with this addiction & thought that I was the only the one , but this is something kind of an alarming situation! Dhruv Rathee just made a video on it & then It's Chetan Bhagat here I mean this is really something very alarming!
Just a matter of time, when we will start seeing the negative effects on mass level, like short memory span and attention span, all different kinds of anxieties, etc. U better start regulating ur usage time
This is what everyone needs to understand, I did a case study on Instagram because I found myself spending hours watching fashion and architecture etc when reels came out! In fact every one in my house is always busy on the app ! I began monitoring myself and since I analysed , I feel more productive and alive. I use it but it’s very scheduled . Hope this video helps others too.
I'm not on Instagram. I'm not the kind of person who vouches for others' acceptance or compliments! I had a terrible time being on Facebook and Instagram. I'm so happy to lead a private, peaceful life and be the confident yet vulnerable one.
You don't have to make yourself into a "I am not like other girls" or a "Pick me girl". You literally have 'femina miss india' in your username. So much for 'not looking for other people's acceptance and compliments'
@@rohinimukherjeefeminamissindia i am not poking any nose into your business, i just pointed out your hypocrisy of saying that you don't need acceptance and validation from strangers whilst having "Femina Miss India" in your username itself.
@@elinadas74 : exactly I agree with you this girl preaching something which she can’t follow herself. If she was that great why looking for an attention by typing femina stuff of course she was looking for an attention lol.
Oh btw if you live private life then delete that femina thing from your user name if you are that great lol you are preaching something which you can’t even follow. So just shut up and think before you “speak” miss or mrs hypocrite.You yourself looking for an attention that is why you put that femina thing.What a hypocrite.
I came to my hometown to spend time with my parents they are retired by taking a week holiday and relax but whenever I see Instagram and see my friends travelling the world , laughing, eating , partying ..I get the feeling what am I doing here sitting idle look at these people they are travelling the world I should have taken a tour.. then I realise that this quality time with my parents won’t come again I should enjoy these small things ..rest can wait
Tip for those who enjoy social media but are addicted and feel like they need to delete their account: don’t. You’re taking the easier route. You need to learn self discipline. Figure out what about it makes you addicted. Then fix it. For example if you watch reels all the time you need to stop. Obviously easier said than done but literally stop. Do something else. Read a book, go for a walk, hang out with friends. Force yourself to be productive. As time goes on the temptation will become less and less. Obviously you can delete your account, but sometimes social media can be great if you use it to your advantage (as long as you enjoy the app).
Thanks Chetan thanks alot ...a message like this in the right time has awakened me ... although I consider myself as a mature person but still I was somewhere loosing myself to it ...n suddenly I just came across this ...thanks alot man🙂
An eye-opener for me! Thank you very much Chetan Sir. You are my life guide. I wish to meet you one day and hug you. Thank you very much for existing!!!!
I reduced my instagram screen time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes and will reduce it further. I will focus more on my studies towards cracking NEET PG. Thanks for this video.
This is the first video of yours I've ever watched!! And it's so simple yet informative.... I m so glad I opened it when TH-cam suggested this!! Even though I am not addicted to Instagram but after listening to you I'm sure I'm going to log out of it 🤣😛
Insta used to be my biggest time waster - but last 6 months I probably going on 1-2 a week and feel more in tune with my own emotions and not affected by other ppls opinions - I’m glad ppl are not being consumed and having this discussion
I deleted my Instagram account 2 years ago during my IIT JEE preparation. And the result is just outstanding. Now I am far far away from the people whose intension is to show up on the social media. At my leisure time I read good novels , meditate , walk in the nature and find myself more productive ever. JUST ONE SUGGESTION IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING FABULOUS THEN DO YOUR WORK IN THAT WAY THAT NOBODY ELSE COULD DO [e.g Deleting all the social media app]
Chetan bhai me khud is problem me fasa hua tha and mene permanent account delete kr diya ek month ho gya And i am lazy so ab account banane me aals aa rha hai and i am fine now without insta But youTube Short tack place of insta reel 😔😔😔 but not addicted of shorts ☺☺☺☺
Social media has both pros and cons; one should be mentally strong and clear enough to understand what to follow and what not to. If you focus on good things, social media will change your life for the better, else the opposite!
Great thought process....Truth of todays life. nobody is so honest to tell this..but you have done it !!! Hats off and keep spreading such thoughts so todays youth thinks better.
I’m a 25 year old and being exposed to social medi since I was 15-16 I can totally agree with you point. Getting a time off social media is so relaxing and calming. no fomo, no comparing of lives, better focus and I can go on and on. Although I feel social media is important but we all should know where to stop.
I have quit this apk 2 months ago still it's affecting me , trust me this generation will be the most unemployed and mediocre generation ever mark my words . The soon you leave the better it's for you
thanks for speaking truth how these social media applications are ruining everyone's life !! people normally envy of others on instagram or most of other social media apps for example twitter but there is too much negativity on it, that's the main reason i left fb, insta, twitter 2 years ago !

Hurts seeing people literally loosing their best years of life, the 20s on social media, simply scrolling and day dreaming and blaming their lives instead of building a solid career, building a class, getting your dreams checked, and spending their best years with their parents
Seems like you are talking about me !!
Time to get off the bed..
Absolute 💯
I was getting bored to se girls posting on Instagram themselves,, but nice to see a girl like u
Wow you said perfectly about me.
So true.......and most importantly we get to see such type of people everywhere nowadays!!!!
Because of my exams I haven't used Instagram since 3 months and I have become mentally more calm. It really works when you don't use these apps. You become more focused, more calm, more disciplined etc. That's what I have experienced.
That's good ..
Agree with your point 💯
i also deleted my instagram account now i am able to focus and work more
Agree👍
True ❤️
I left social media coz i was constantly feeling bad about myself, i was feeling as if everyone is ahead of me and i am not doing any substantial productive thing in life. Now it has been 5 months and can't express in words how happy and satisfied i am by not having social media in life
Same things happened to me!!
Same bro same
Same to same.....it depresses rather than make us smile 😱
What application did u deleted?

Sells softcore porn
Sells insecurities
Sells comparison
Eats up your time

Pros:

Instagram is a lie, it simply shows us the luxurious lives and all that stuff, it doesn't show us the struggles done by that person to make it happen.
And that leads to social anxiety
these influencers are full of fake lifestyle.. fake make-up fake face.... bullshit
That's such a dumb reason
I havent used insta since 4 years. And i just made my profile on insta few days back because I was bored.... Seeing my own friends having a made-up image made me 🤮. Some of my friends who don't even reply to my texts on WhatsApp started commenting on my pics and liking my pictures 🤣🤣 matlab itna doglapana laate kaha se hai log?
Plus my besties who are my jaan didn't even upload a single picture of mine on their insta grid ( I am not a fashionable person maybe) but they have posts of their acquittance who are kinda good looking but trash in real life.
Itna doglapan deke mujhe gussa Aata hai. I delete my insta immediately seeing this fakeness.

I am a CA student , I have to sit down at home only and study ...
And people are posting stories or post on insta of enjoying in club , going to hill station or beach ...and much more things ...make me distracted that what I am doing and make me unhappy also .
So this is true , this distract us from our goal ...
Now I have deleted my I'd and uninstalled insta ...now I am happy and busy in doing what I likes and doing hard work for achieving my goal 😁
Bhot bdiya londe 👍🏻
Exactly Bhai i am CS student, i did same things
Ya it happens often with me preparing for upsc. It give a lot of distractions and make harmless impact on health. I was quite disturbed for being studied a lot then I thought let watch some reels and make some fun. Then happen + - = -
Hailing from hill station (Darjeeling), I can say that people here are more or less the same, on the same boat...it's exotic and breath of fresh air for the tourists but not so for the locals...in fact many are suffering from the mental illness which is sad...in real life, everyone's got their own problems but insta helps create the illusion of living the life of success and happiness...no wonder we get miserable and left distraught at the juxtaposition...
Me tooo! All the good luck To you
I’m a company secretary & a teacher since 11 years, I so second you on this. I’ve seen students doing everything just because they want to share on insta. When we were in teens or early 20s we use to have amazing conversations, sports, so many other things, we were not even bothered about clicking & recording everything. Life was unfiltered & more meaning full. Spreading this message is so important.
I guess that era is gone forever. I cannot believe there used to be a time when there was NO social media at all.
Sir your advice is so good for that i Just want to say sir please have some research about purpose of life like which religion should be followed to me it's Islam because I've done a lots of research i request you to read holy Quran with good intentions like u really care for Truth and say oh my creator guide me my point is most of the humans living there life just like an animal doesn't matter what they are like doctor pilot all of us for an example animals life is eat sleep have sex make babies and then death so as a human we should be sincere about purpose out our life as a Muslim we believe this life is a test for hereafter and prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is the last and final messenger of Allah and holy Quran is the last and final messenger of Allah for all mankind sorry sir but i wanted to give a gift i think this is the most important topic
Still people from your time have destroyed our country...
Exactly, till now I cringe at my kid taking selfies & posting on Insta at evrey opportunity.

Same here
Yeah even now TH-cam had TH-cam shorts that's really addiction as reels. So I decided not to see any entertaining video , only self growth videos. Sometimes I don't like to use WhatsApp also, I just call and talk to person.
@@soundaryasrinivas3520 yeah, WhatsApp also acts like insta sometimes
like checking your phone again and again to see if she or he messaged or not
but for imp documents WhatsApp is imp
Thts exactly what I have.. TH-cam and WhatsApp. I got rid off FB and Insta long time ago due to fake and phoney perfect lives being showed by content creators. . I also dont follow ppl on YT that show nothing but perfect happy lives.. Its too good to be true!... I have a channel where I am trying to be grateful for little things in life amidst chaotic daily routine. But ofcourse my channel is progressing slowly... as I am not showing my face or wasting food or doing crazy things to attract people's attention.. But I will try to stick to my mantra of making videos on little things that can be joyful.
I am glad you said this because I was told same and looked down upon by my close friend .. she said to me.. tere paas ab insta nahi hai... tu FB pe nahi hai toh tu karti kya hai? ... I am a mom of a 5 yr old... taking care of a child is so difficult without help. She knows this and she doesn't have a kid... so maybe difficult for her to understand. But kya yehi life hoti hai ? log bina Insta aur FB ke jaise jina hi bhul gaye ho.
The friends that said to you ki tu zinda kyun hai... lol.. tell them because I know how to enjoy zindagi. 🤗
Insta has destroyed my early 20s...but now I am gonna make the best out of my remaining late 20s Liked subscribed saved ...what a video chetu sar
Uncle spotted
I left Instagram 3 months ago, and I can see the extensive progress in me. I admire the little things around me. And I'm moving closer toward my goals. I build a sense of self-sufficient attitude within me which doesn't require outside validation. It's healthy for us, try it.🌱🙃
I love the part where you said "I admire little things around me."
I glad I uninstalled Instagram and discontinued with it and that actually help me in build my focus
Also me 10 days ago
And I reel feel happy..
Same here I also disabled my account 3 dyas ago and now I prefer to sit alone doings nothing instead of watching reels on Instagram. And it's also helps me in focusing in others things ❤️
Also me 2 year & 4 months ago 😇
Realtable bro
Its been 2and a half years since I shunned all the social medias and I have achieved amazing result Im more focused now and also my mental health is much better Im a student BTW
It's almost been 9 months since I deactivated my IG account. Trust me when I tell you, I've been happier, more calm, started working out, gotten a job & stopped comparing myself to others
I was addicted to Instagram so I deleted it 2 years ago , and the positive impact it had on me makes me feel to not use it again in my whole life.
I deleted Instagram months ago since I am preparing for medical entrance exams And it's my drop year, It was just increasing my anxiety I always wonderd how pretty these girls are with perfect bodies, perfect life they got everything and here I am stuck in my room trying so hard to just be okay It affected me adversly but after I deleted it I am so much happier It was hard at first but I got used to it
Girls don't need to look perfect coz Even 82 yrs Granny can get date on tinder within a day! Proof : Search on TH-cam

Reels are nothing but created reality that attracts us in a imaginery world 🙂🙂🙂
Off late I had been feeling extremely anxious, stressed and alone. While I was listening to you, it struck me that whenever I feel sad, I turn to instagram and endlessly scroll various videos. I feel nothing while watching them but I still do. Now it acts as a stimulator and my mind is conditioned to feel sad as soon as I open reels. I'm not going to mindlessly scroll videos anymore. No one else is going to do this for me. I gotta do this myself.
That's a hard-hitting line - "No else is going to do this for me."
It takes a lot of time to realize that. Most of the time we are on autopilot.
And I am happy to report it worked for me. I don't endlessly scroll anymore. And I am feeling less restless and anxious.
insta and fb caused my relationship with my gf to end. People she used to follow were overly and unnaturally positve, she wanted our relationship to be like what you see pictures captioned "relationship goals or Couple goals". those posts actually influence todays youth to a great extent. I wish relationships could be like it was 10-12 years ago.
Glad she left 😂 enjoy the peace
I can relate this ... This has happened with me too... I lost my relation due to the influence of social media. But the fact is there are people who actually don't care anymore for the real life rather she is happy with the fake world she is living in now. Nothing can be done to people who actually are addicted to an extent that if you can ask them to quit ....it's like an impossible thing for them. Social media is just crap.
Yeah i lost too due to social media appearance and pages she used to follow becoming a hardcore fan of BTS and proud to be single type of things
#peace
Social media is fake. I am proud that I took a decision to delete this app from my phone and am happy and focusing towards my life ahead..
And that's why, I, a 25-year-old girl from Mumbai, took down all my Instagram posts 2 years ago, and uninstalled Instagram app from my phone a year ago. I can personally say that my time is better utilized and I have set my priorities right. I feel i don't compare myself with the parts of life that people share, and feel bad about my life or myself. I am so glad i decided to do this.
The time wasted on unnecessary and mindless scrolling over social media can instead be used for some productive work/self growth/doing something for the society, etc. I vouch for this since this is tried and tested by me. I have not been on any social media since 2 years. People these days have literally gotten addicted to post every damn thing on social media. As if the primary reason they travel, eat, wear a new outfit, attend a function, go for a party is that they can show to the world that they are living a life. One of the main reasons I quit Insta was because there was too much information to take in. Yes 'too much'! Read about dark web and you will realise how harmful too much information is for our mental health. And then there are also the so called social media influencers most of whom just keep spamming the news feed every now and then. According to me, if we really want our future generations to remain sane, we should strictly avoid the use of such apps which not only waste our time but also create inferiority complex followed by many other problems as rightly pointed out in this video.
Thank god someone has the guts to talk about it!
I had deleted my Instagram and Facebook since 2018 and that’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken.

Absolutely right, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter all these can ruin our life and also youtube if it is seen unnecessarily.
Messages from this kind of videos are very scientific and very close to messages from our real spiritual people, every video gives a stong message to change ourself and backed up with science that's why I really love to see these videos.

I deleted my Insta account back in 2018 as I was preparing for an exam and didn't want to get distracted. For a few days I felt a bit... Emptiness, as I had this habit of scrolling and reading the other writer's posts (because I had a writing account for poetry and short stories, never had a personal account). And when you're in creative realm, you tend to compare yourself with others, and I was into that realm.
So, I quit insta. And believe me that craving of scrolling faded away in few weeks. Although i had some online writer friends, school friends connected with it, I realized, none of that matter. If you want to stay connected with insta friends, better have WhatsApp for that.
2018 and back to 2022, it's been 4 years and I haven't looked back.
P.S. I never used Facebook, Twitter or any other SM app out there. YT and Whatsapp bhi kam hi chalta hai due to job. And I have more peace of mind. Om Namah Shivaay 🌺

In the end, we are left with only one thing: regret, the regret of wasting time and life, the regret of not being there where we deserve to be. I myself use insta and want to limit it. I will try my best

Well I feel that excessive usage of anything and everything is bad and not just Instagram. just like you, I am also very active on Instagram but I do go there with a purpose which is to help people either make money or stay healthy. I really dont waste my time mindlessly scrolling other people's content as its a vicious cycle as you said.
So as long as we are just using it instead of being addicted, its fine. But a wonderful video and always love your thoughts Chetan.

Damn!! Was discussing this with my friend last week and a girl our common friend said this is not for people like us because we don't know what life is. And we felt really good about it to be honest.
😂😂😂😂
I dont know about your goal or intention of making this video, But You are damn true man!!! I appreciate your thoughts words and views towards IG. You have awakened many out there with your fresh message, Greattttt!!!
I completely agree with Chetan Bhagat here. i stopped using instagram since the pandemic and i have never been happier. I Use it only for business and not for anything personal anymore. Because that is bullshit. Your personal shit you should keep it yourself. Why should i watch some photo of a guy or girl i dont even know, i am not even going to meet in real life and talk as real friends, instagram just makes you feel insecure when you look at other people's feed as if they are enjoying there life, going to Goa and Alibag but that's not the reality. These people are more fucked up in reality than you know, but they potray a complete different self on instagram. Staying away from that toxic shit will help you achieve your mental peace.
Thats the best advice for people addicted to social media.
Appreciated big brother 🙌🏻❤️ You’re amazing
It has been 4 years since I deactivated my facebook account....and 2 years since I stopped using instagram.
This has enabled me to watch 100s of movies and read dozens of books
Everything you said is so on point sir... I too have experienced finding a dull environment around and going back to the phone all the time which is a lie, which is not normal world. I have been feeling lost by this but was not able to release what is wrong with me. Thank you for opening the eyes of our society.
I feel one of the major reasons why we aren't able to quit social media is the inner satisfaction which we most often experience when get a compliment from someone whom we know we aren't going to meet in real. Then sharing our daily life is another major reason which I find is pretty addictive.
Being a CA Student,
I already left Insta 2 Years back,
Joined LinkedIn its helps in growing professionally.
LinkedIn is no different. Probably a little better than Instagram. Wanna see real success? Just stay away completely from social media for an year. You will become better both professionally and personally.
Fully agreed.
The random reels and most contents are very addictive and actually a waste of time.
The blind rush to gain followers are ruining relationships.
Im a Student sir, and as always you inspire and strive to a bring a change in the Indian Youth You are a True Nationalist🙏kudos to u👏
We need another social Media for Startup, entrepreneurship and learning New things.
LinkedIn is there.
One of the few honest, genuine and caring voices on the TH-cam. Grateful to have you around Chetan sir 🙏.
An honest mentor like a big brother , is what every one needs!
Please make a video on social detox.
I was one who spent hours scrolling through Instagram reels ,I gained nothing but deep dissatisfaction .I don't think I can limit the use of it .So I decided to quit Instagram. Now it's been a month and honestly I'm feeling so good with my life.
Thanks a lot Chetan sir for discussing this serious topic. Instagram was a good app but now it's ruining the youth,wasting precious time scrolling reels, feeds,feeding insecurities. The reels feature is the worst.Now you can't even open the explore page infront of your family or friends. No matter what you search ,It'll show the most disgusting post or reels on your explore page. You cannot unseen all these things. The best way to get rid of this addiction is to not posting anything online. People are running after instant gratification, 1 sec dopamine rush.Now a days kids have Zero or no patience to watch something good or listen something, forget about books(not all but 80%). Thats why this 15/30Seconds video apps are growing so fast and making billions.
*Either you are using istagram or instagram is using you.(understand the diffrence)*
Sahi bola
I second you!
Well, I did quit social media for last 3 years, and recently got back.
Here's my take,
Yes, there are negetives to instagram, but nobody asked you to follow certain things or certain people.
People don't know how to use social media to their advantage, how to use it mindfully.
You can bring alot of positivity and information into your life if you are following the right people and influencers.
Nobody asked you to follow people you met 6 years ago.
You can restrict accounts, you can always choose to take a break if you feel like you don't want to know what's up with the world.
I was incapable of doing it once and quit media altogether.
But now I see how it's important for me to have a social media presence.
I share what I want to, don't give a damn about the trends.
And not everybody is same or living the same life, so comparison is real but it's futile.
Once you understand this, it won't bother if someone is partying and you are having a breakdown at 2 AM .
And understand social media shows only the good part of someone's life.
It's not real.
It's a fantasy world with some fragments of reality.
hey!
I have been thinking about deleting Instagram several times but I find myself download it again after a while like after some exam or when I feel like I have enough data left and this time I am gonna deactivate it for good .
all I want to ask from you is will it help me in the long term like you know as you said we don't know how to use it to our advantage
mind giving some thoughts?
u elaborate all so nicely....if we dont use our mind for create choices on social media ..than we can easily get manipulated by algorithms of mass choices
@@ManjotSingh-sf5qn well it seems legit, when you don't want distractions you simply take a break. If you seriously want to do a proper detox and get in touch with what's real. I suggest you delete your Instagram and don't install until all your urges are gone. Once you get comfortable with the realities of this world ( which insta definitely is far away from ) you will realise how fake everything is on Instagram.
Instagram is addictive so it will be hard initially but trust me in a few months you will love not having a instagram.
Come back only if have understood it's fake af and you have to limit your time it.
Otherwise, you will fall in the same rut again.
It's just take some time off and figure out what you want and don't give into your impulses.
Advantages:
Networking
Finding like minded people
Communities
Informative content
Humour
Influencers for positive influences
U can even build your own community
These are few opportunities that instagram or other media platforms offer us.
And put a time limit to that as well.
@@simrangupta1308I don't think I understand what these advantages were for like: will these be the advantages which I'll have when I come back to Instragram after a proper detox?
@@ManjotSingh-sf5qn well these are some pros of instagram that simply can enhance your overall being if used correctly.
A person who know how to use technology for his advancement > A person who rejects technology> A person who is controlled by technology.
You can always decide not to come back if that's what working for you.
I’ve already deleted instagram, Snapchat and Facebook yesterday before watching this awesome thing but I still thing that I am so blessed that I got this video to watch ,literally thank u so much for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That is also the reason people have stopped reading which actually makes you a more rounded person and achieve great things.

Thank you for speaking from the perspective of girls in this video. It means a lot.
Hi Chetan, I nominated your name for having a Collab with Sandeep Maheshwari. I personally feel there is no person better than you to have a Collab with him. I really hope you meet him. You are genuinely one of my favorite TH-camrs who doesn't make too much noise and always sticks to the point and gives genuine advice and ideas. Thank You Chetan Bhagat for everything.
i was excited too but the recent posts by sandeep maheshwari regarding prashant and the way he dealt with the situation have really made me rethink my views towards him. i feel like we have given him a demi god status and maybe it has gotten to his head. i also cant forget how in one of podcasts, he said "he has stopped reading books" because it seems like he has it all figured out. that statement seemed very ignorant, to have someone of that position say such things was incomprehensible for me . i mean the most intellectual of people- bill gates, warren buffet, elon musk talk about the importance of reading. i believe we as people especially indians need to stop putting people so high up there and idolise someone. so yeah for him to have an interview with an author when he has made such statements would be hypocritical in some sense.
@@farihahkhalidshaikh1535 I agree to you in many ways and especially he is also deviating from his path of not inviting any celebrity on his platform or not going to any celebrities platform or media interview etc. But these days he is just doing anything to increase views on his channel. Also, he criticizes things with an arrogant perspective which is not good as you said even Elon musk and warren Buffett don't do that. So Sandeep Maheshwari's actions and choices and words have started disappointing the intellectuals among us but I hope he doesn't continue that disappointment and anyways most of the Indian public is just a blind follower and they don't have any thoughts of their own so let them do what they do and in our case let's just only follow him or anybody for that matter as long he makes practical sense.
PS: I recommended Mr. Chetan Bhagat for the interview with Sandeep Maheshwari because he (Chetan Bhagat) is far better than any other Indian youtuber for me at this time from practical advice and time "well spent" perspective. But Chetan sir himself is very busy and I don't know if he is willing to do the interview but it will be so much better for Indians to get more exposure to Chetan Sir because he really makes a lot of practical sense.
@@realbobbyaxel well said, i really appreciate your unbiased views. i like how you said we should only follow him if he makes practical sense. i think the same too. everyone has good and bad sides to them, we can try to take the best from each person and ignore the bad. as intellectual and aware people, we should listen to everyone with an open and non judgemental mindset but at the same time think for ourselves too. we shouldn't blindly follow anyone and give them a god status. i dont hate mr. sandeep, i have admired him for a long time but ive seen him become more and more arrogant over the years, and history has been a witness that arrogance has led to the downfall of the greatest individuals. i hope he can realise his shortcomings and rectify. he has worked really hard to earn this reputation and support. it would be really sad to see it all crumble down because of his condescension
and youre right, people need to get more exposed to mr. chetan's ideas, his perspectives are really pragmatic and can be applied easily and he talk about topics relevant to our youth. i think he would definitely provide great value to the viewers. so if more exposure means being invited to sandeep sir's session, it would be worth while.
@@farihahkhalidshaikh1535 having said that, Sandeep Maheshwari has accepted where he went wrong and he is still very very much better than other Indian TH-camrs who just want to make a very quick buck and just to fool their audience. Sandeep Maheshwari has very high standards and that is the reason why we trust him so much. I am sure he is still one of the best and mistakes happen sometimes. But 99% of India TH-camrs are frauds and we gotta be careful around them and their integrity doesn't come close to Sandeep Maheshwari and Chetan Bhagat.
even I am not active on Instagram from last one year and I never found anything is missing in my life😂. you know we scroll insta for 1 hour and found nothing productive but anxiety.
True
From many days i was thinking to delete my insta account, but after watching it I straight forward went and deleted my account... Bcoz too excess to information which could affect your mental health, gives you inferiority complex, those empty scrolling after sometime time makes you feel regret about losing your time...
Using instagram has not been healthy for my brain and I realize this even better after watching this video. It’s sad to see that many things which are now considered normal are actually not good for our health. Thanks for spreading awareness about something which nobody wants to talk about. ✨
Yeah,
Instagram gives that obsession of counting numbers in terms of likes and views and it's very addictive.
But i am happy,in my case,
It embraces my work,as i upload my music videos and people likes it!
And i use to be looking after numbers,but now i just post whenever i like and just leave it.
And that makes Instagram not a addiction to me.
You've hit the bull's eye, Chetanji... I totally agree with you 👍
Instagram lowers your self confidence because users post only selected pics and this leads to comparison of life.
Bitter truth but you present the reality well sir 💯 You inspire us to grow ☺️ Thanks much 💜
Your each and every words said in this video makes real sense sir and me too feel the same . These modern world apps actually making us living in a fake world in we don't know how to handle these apps . If we don't know the ways to use it , it can destroy our goal and our future . Be aware of social media . Use it productively 💯😊 . Thank you sir for all these real meaningful words . I truly admire you
I was studying rn but no sooner I saw the pop up notification of your video, I clicked.
Same :-
Love you sir. Thanks for uploading informational content for youth like us. Every young person needs a mentor like you
Keep going on sir hats off to you. I will try my best to manage everything and will not get addicted.
Thanks a lot sir for inspiring the youth like us because no one is there to guide the teenagers or those who are in age of 20-25 about these issues , if you all are not able to totally stop it then just have a simple app timer for it.
Great advice. Am not using any social media apps from past few years and really life and phone both have become so peaceful. Just ur daily targets, musics and occasional movies is more than enough for me.💙
How u r connected with your friends????
@@anamikaa021 I don't have so many friends just two or three so i talk to them occasionally on calls or via text🤗
@@TusharArya76 Ok....Thanks for answering 😊

I Agree
I think this thing is impacting many lives nowadays! It is really a big concerning topic that everyone should take seriously! I m dealing with this addiction & thought that I was the only the one , but this is something kind of an alarming situation! Dhruv Rathee just made a video on it & then It's Chetan Bhagat here I mean this is really something very alarming!
Uninstall the app.Then use it in browser of u want.The addiction will become less.
Just a matter of time, when we will start seeing the negative effects on mass level, like short memory span and attention span, all different kinds of anxieties, etc. U better start regulating ur usage time
Dhruv Rathi 🤮
He told something we all already know.. yet we refuse to give up on the addiction
Left insta and all social since last 3 years and i found i am more conscious ever before 💫🖤
This is what everyone needs to understand, I did a case study on Instagram because I
found myself spending hours watching fashion and architecture etc when reels came out!
In fact every one in my house is always busy on the app ! I began monitoring myself and since I analysed , I feel more productive and alive. I use it but it’s very scheduled . Hope this video helps others too.
I'm not on Instagram. I'm not the kind of person who vouches for others' acceptance or compliments! I had a terrible time being on Facebook and Instagram. I'm so happy to lead a private, peaceful life and be the confident yet vulnerable one.
You don't have to make yourself into a "I am not like other girls" or a "Pick me girl". You literally have 'femina miss india' in your username. So much for 'not looking for other people's acceptance and compliments'
You don't need to tell me what I have to do! Keep your long nose out of my business.
@@rohinimukherjeefeminamissindia i am not poking any nose into your business, i just pointed out your hypocrisy of saying that you don't need acceptance and validation from strangers whilst having "Femina Miss India" in your username itself.
@@elinadas74 : exactly I agree with you this girl preaching something which she can’t follow herself. If she was that great why looking for an attention by typing femina stuff of course she was looking for an attention lol.
Oh btw if you live private life then delete that femina thing from your user name if you are that great lol you are preaching something which you can’t even follow. So just shut up and think before you “speak” miss or mrs hypocrite.You yourself looking for an attention that is why you put that femina thing.What a hypocrite.
I came to my hometown to spend time with my parents they are retired by taking a week holiday and relax but whenever I see Instagram and see my friends travelling the world , laughing, eating , partying ..I get the feeling what am I doing here sitting idle look at these people they are travelling the world I should have taken a tour.. then I realise that this quality time with my parents won’t come again I should enjoy these small things ..rest can wait
Tip for those who enjoy social media but are addicted and feel like they need to delete their account: don’t. You’re taking the easier route. You need to learn self discipline. Figure out what about it makes you addicted. Then fix it. For example if you watch reels all the time you need to stop. Obviously easier said than done but literally stop. Do something else. Read a book, go for a walk, hang out with friends. Force yourself to be productive. As time goes on the temptation will become less and less. Obviously you can delete your account, but sometimes social media can be great if you use it to your advantage (as long as you enjoy the app).
Thanks Chetan thanks alot ...a message like this in the right time has awakened me ... although I consider myself as a mature person but still I was somewhere loosing myself to it ...n suddenly I just came across this ...thanks alot man🙂
That Last line: More than anything keep improving!
An eye-opener for me! Thank you very much Chetan Sir. You are my life guide. I wish to meet you one day and hug you. Thank you very much for existing!!!!
Sir you're one of the best gifts to youth from TH-cam . Thankyou so much for deciding to do TH-cam and change our lives 😄
It's my pleasure! Keep supporting!
I reduced my instagram screen time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes and will reduce it further. I will focus more on my studies towards cracking NEET PG.
Thanks for this video.
This is the first video of yours I've ever watched!! And it's so simple yet informative.... I m so glad I opened it when TH-cam suggested this!! Even though I am not addicted to Instagram but after listening to you I'm sure I'm going to log out of it 🤣😛
Insta used to be my biggest time waster - but last 6 months I probably going on 1-2 a week and feel more in tune with my own emotions and not affected by other ppls opinions - I’m glad ppl are not being consumed and having this discussion
I deleted my Instagram account 2 years ago during my IIT JEE preparation. And the result is just outstanding. Now I am far far away from the people whose intension is to show up on the social media. At my leisure time I read good novels , meditate , walk in the nature and find myself more productive ever. JUST ONE SUGGESTION IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING FABULOUS THEN DO YOUR WORK IN THAT WAY THAT NOBODY ELSE COULD DO [e.g Deleting all the social media app]
I am so agreeing with whatever you said sir! Amazing motivation, thanks a lot. This helps ❤
Chetan bhai me khud is problem me fasa hua tha and mene permanent account delete kr diya ek month ho gya
And i am lazy so ab account banane me aals aa rha hai and i am fine now without insta
But youTube Short tack place of insta reel 😔😔😔 but not addicted of shorts ☺☺☺☺
Social media has both pros and cons; one should be mentally strong and clear enough to understand what to follow and what not to. If you focus on good things, social media will change your life for the better, else the opposite!
Great thought process....Truth of todays life. nobody is so honest to tell this..but you have done it !!! Hats off and keep spreading such thoughts so todays youth thinks better.
I’m a 25 year old and being exposed to social medi since I was 15-16 I can totally agree with you point. Getting a time off social media is so relaxing and calming. no fomo, no comparing of lives, better focus and I can go on and on. Although I feel social media is important but we all should know where to stop.
👍
I have quit this apk 2 months ago still it's affecting me , trust me this generation will be the most unemployed and mediocre generation ever mark my words . The soon you leave the better it's for you
thanks for speaking truth how these social media applications are ruining everyone's life !! people normally envy of others on instagram or most of other social media apps for example twitter but there is too much negativity on it, that's the main reason i left fb, insta, twitter 2 years ago !
