Been off social media for 2 years now. All socials are either unused or deleted. Since getting off social media I've felt more peace of mind, less depressed and anxious, less comparison to othets & more privacy of my life. Social media should only be used as a tool and not for personal use or your personal blog. Get off social media and I promise you, you wont want to go back
I completely agree with your comment. I'm trying to get my children mother off of TikTOXIC and InstaFAKE. Every since she's been addicted to these social media sites, her life has drastically decreased in less than 6 months. She was completely unaware of the dangers (seducing spirits) of social media and the opening of demonic portals that leads to ruin. As The Holy Scriptures states "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron (1 Timothy Ch 4 verses 1-2 KJV).
I gave up Facebook 10 months ago and will never go back. It was nothing but a bunch of gossip and I was doing nothing but comparing myself to other people's good stuff. Now I feel better being at one with my own way of thinking!
I want to quit TH-cam too, but there is a lot of educational/professional content too here, and that's what's hard for me. I believe will find a more balanced, productive way I've tried website blockers, but still find myself watching more suggested videos, after watching the informative one. Relying on the Will power isn't good enough I suppose
Exactly Frank, there's a lot of unique and helpful content here on TH-cam and that's something! Understand your phase by appreciating that you're trying and you're learning along the way :) Website blockers and reminders are supposed to be helpful but as you said, it ain't enough unless you're fully disciplined and committed. Goodluck in your journey :))
The challenge here is to only watch what's beneficial for you. Try watching informative videos that are helpful and educational let alone it being just entertaining. And one more key trick, try hiding TH-cam on your phone and try to put it on a folder or 2nd page where you can't see it easily. I'll create a video about how to not check your phone all the time ❤️
@@rishamarcellana the annoying thing about TH-cam is as soon as i open the website or app i am bombarded with suggested videos on my feed. is there a way i can turn my feed off and only see my subscribers videos?
Great video! I've been questioning my relationship with social media for a long time now. Sometimes I'll quit for like a week and I just feel so much better about myself but then I end up going back and feeling miserable all over again. I admire people who have a health relationship with it but somehow I haven't figured out how to do the same, so I'm considering quitting again and maybe journaling about the experience to understand myself better.
I also thought about that many times before - I lack discipline at most times so you're not alone :) As I was saying, you don't really have to quit but maybe you need to take a quick break from it and monitor your offline hours. Rooting for you Júlia ❤️
I quit social media 5 days ago and I could focus at my job I could focus on my workout my sleep is better and my laziness is reducing cause social media make me feel lazy my well being and mental health is improving and I feel better and happy without social media
Kudos to you, I have also felt things similar to you and honestly deep down wish to live a simple life, I don’t need validation from others and I don’t care what others are doing all the time either, it’s better to live in the here and now.
That's something we all learn overtime through commitment and discipline. I wish us good luck in this journey of finally not seeking validation from others :))
very well said! i've been thinking about quitting social media but i'm also a content creator lol, so i cant fully quit. but i'm working on establishing a better relationship with social apps, and limiting time spent on them.
Thank you so much for this! I quit social media about a month ago. And I can say that I'm never going back. Being away from social media helped my mental health. 💪🧠 #new subscriber here!
I watched it from start to finish. this video have informative content. this past few days i feel depress and loneliness, anxiety too. i will start quiting social media.
I personally could relate almost everything that you said especially body shaming. I managed to quit social media when I converted to Christianity few months ago😊 I was powerless by myself. I wasn't strong enough to quit by myself but with the help of Jesus, nothing is impossible. He really cares about me and He expects me to be better😊
you are very relatable! thanks for making this video... the more i see these things, the less i regret cutting my ties with social media, so glad to hear from another filo
I still have my facebook on, but I don't open it. I attempt several times to deactivate my fb acc. for a long time. But I can't, because my family used to look up some memories I've posted in my account. What I did is knowing and mastering the art of discipline on how I'll used social media. And I thinks it works for me now. I'm happy and I feel the peace. I'm now out of the pace of my life in where I need to follow trends. I'm sure, to say that I'm living my life better and happier. I live in reality. I became more productive, I read books, do journalling, going outside every afternoon or morning, being more organized, and many more. I also start the thing, I wanted to do a long time ago. And that's to cook for a meal, for our snack, and more. Before I thought I don't have so much of time, but as I distanced myself in socmed, I've realized that I have so much of time. 🥺💗💗
This is so inspiring in so many different ways. With a similar phase as you are, I can relate with all of the dilemma that social media contain. Will quit this week. Wish me luck xoxo!!!
It feels a lot less heavier when you realized that other people could relate to that dilemma! Thank you so much Dave, and I wish you all the best! Good luck 👌
I left social media because of all the rude and negative people I felt like you’re not free to post whatever you want anymore. Great 😊 video ❤😃. Everyone journey is different
I appreciate all the wisdom you've shared in this video. I find it informative and inspiring at the same time.😊💚I agree with all what you've said. I'm quitting social media too , but except TH-cam.😊 I'm new subscriber here!😊😊😊 God bless you always ❤❤❤
does anyone have these issues with TH-cam? i see myself watching content that i find triggering or depressing out of sheer boredom. usually it comes up on my feed and i just end up clicking.
Somehow it's recommended by TH-cam since it's linked to previous videos you enjoyed watching. If the contents being suggested are pretty depressing, I encourage you to take a quick break and not indulge yourself too much in watching videos. If it gets triggered while watching it already, remove yourself from the situation and know that you can do better :)) Hope that helps, Jackson!
This video seemed very genuine, it was nice. I need to quit social media.. I think I'd be a lot happier. Out of curiosity, do you script your videos? I'm also a small youtuber and have many ideas but I'm not the best at talking on camera. Would love to know how you plan out your videos! Maybe do a video on that? Good luck with your channel, I subscribed :)
At the same time it's a great tool to share the gospel with many unbelievers, I think it's more about strict time management than deleting it completely, what do you think?
_I left Snapchat on Monday and I'm doing a detox for two weeks. It's quite hard not thinking about it but I know I'm not going back early. How do you overcome FOMO?_
Hey, I love your question. Actually, I read (both fiction & non-fiction), I spend time with my family more, I bond with friends, I exercise and I just do a lot of things that will not remind me that I'm missing out because I'm not. Having done and discovered interesting things, I know I'm up for bigger things. Hope you'll feel the same over time, you'll get there!
The best thing you can do!!! Because there is absolutely nothing social about social media. The word social media is totally misleading. What is supposed to be social about it?
You made great points about the reality of social media. I also decided to delete my social media (Facebook and Instagram) 3+ months ago. I just got tired of it. That's all. Deleting my socials have definitely helped to improve my social skills. Question. If what you said is how you really feel about social media, then why did you link your socials on the description? I also saw a pop-up of your Instagram on this video. Can you kindly explain this to me? It seems that you eventually plan to return to your socials, don't you?
Of course, I'm back like what I mentioned in the video. But believe me when I say that I have extremely great relationships with them. I know how to manage my time well, I use it to my advantage as I do inspiring things, and I love the community that I surround myself online. There are just some changes I altered today and a two-year break was long enough for me to reassess my relationship and purpose online ❤️
I deleted my Facebook a decade ago because of that stupid real name only policy which caused my account and millions of others to be suspended for a short time.😑
Not gonna lie but I don't see anything wrong with you. You're such a beautiful girl, the way I see it... Pinay beauty. I don't know why people nowadays are toxic. I know to myself that they will not be changed by the act of your kindness. Sad but true! Sorry for my bad English. I'm not as good as you are. 😊♥️
Best decision I ever made since 2015! I was in the right place at the right time in that moment. I quit social media bcuz It doesn't give me anything or satisfaction to make me feel better. Tbh, I am feeling much better now since I quit a lot of bad things just like video games, social media, fappening, poor diet, lack of sleep, getting too emotional. Don't forget to avoid all of the people who are toxics in your life and willing to hurt you without any reason. There's only one thing that I will never leave and that would be TH-cam for sure!
.....I just couldn't help but feel like you're contradicting yourself by posting your Instagram in the video + Linking other social media in the description?? Wasn't this a video about how you quit and deactivated your accounts?
I’ve been seeing a lot of these videos lately Isn’t TH-cam considered social media thou 🤔 But dead ass i agree Social media is a waste of time Unless your a content creator getting paid
@@rishamarcellana it’s a waste of time! People are more depressed and lonely than ever before. Some of this is because of social media! I don’t miss it! I don’t care about what people are up to. And I don’t want people knowing about what I got going on in my personal life either.
The person who really quits social media would never make an effort to spend so much time editing video. Indeed, she is looking for more subscribers .. it's just another tactic to promote her videos to get more views and, eventually, more subscribers.
I completely agree that taking a real "break" is a way to reset and further define your boundaries, Steven! I know you're so much stronger now, keep up!
I use only watsap, youtube, telegram and messenger. I have instagram and facebook but i dont never use them. I made tik tok account also but it is total crap and waste of time
It's been 5 years since I quit all the social media except TH-cam. It has been liberating
Happy for you!!
Thank you 😊. Happy to get your like.

The power it has is what you give it. Ground your spirit
Absolutely! However, the bad part, I gave so much power to it so I had to detach for a while ❤😅
I watched it from start to finish. this video have informative content. this past few days i feel depress and loneliness, anxiety too. i will start quiting social media.
Omy thank you! For sure, you can do this, you're better than those feelings👌

When we can't anymore handle the pressure, pain, and just the entire situation, it's so vital to just surrender everything to a Higher being, Andy! 🫶🏻

I'm not using it because of my mental health . Drinking made me realize this and I decided to quit it ...
Left social media and came to social media to spread the learning. What a paradox 🙂
Will consider that as a compliment 🤗
Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Worth watching!!!

You are just like me sis
My view is just screw people. I do my thing and you do yours. I'd be an hypocrite if I did social media.
Hello you telling us that you didnt open any social media app for 2 years 😱
Surprisingly yes!!
People were buddy shaming you? Who is your buddy and why are they so shameful?
Sorry young Lady..may I know where country u come from?😊
I’ve been seeing a lot of these videos lately
Isn’t TH-cam considered social media thou 🤔
