    I feel like Instagram is where the most narcissists and insecure people reside and create the life they wish to have and want people to perceive them as. If you satisfied with your life, you don’t need that validation and attention.

    When it comes to youtube you can learn so many things and motivate yourself. I believe it's the best platform but sometimes you can fall to the trap of watching "informative" videos that it's not even relevant to your goals and just waste of time. Like "TOP 10 SECRET .... " "fastest workers compilation" " FACTS ABOUT ... " and that's unhealthy too..

      I tend to use TH-cam to learn stuff. For example, my phone screen needs replacing and instead of paying someone lots of money to do it I just watched tutorials on TH-cam. TH-cam is bad when you are just watching it because you have nothing better to do. You end wasting hours filling your brain with useless information

      One more point to make on this. All the experts agree, learning without action is almost useless. You can learn about how to make more money, but without action it does nothing. You can watch a video about how to play a song on guitar, but without practicing you won't really be able to perform it. You can watch a video about the perfect push-up technique, but untill you get down on the floor and do some, you wont get any stronger.

    Social media is nothing, but memes, and jealousy of other people’s lives. Let me ask you this. What will you do when your youth fades? Any new skills learned? Or will you just get on your phone and tell us about a meme page? Lol

    • @MaestroJericho
      @MaestroJericho 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      It's cool to follow pages with really cool photos and goofy memes but I think it's more productive to keep your personal life out of it. Maybe promote/collaborate on any kinda hobby like music or something. At least with memes you're taking nothing personal.

      For me, it depends on how they use it. I myself don't have any interest about "popular" "celebrity" things..
      And you don't have to look for that thingies..
      You can build portofolio, personal branding, sharing stuff what you like _(marine biology)_ , knowing some kind of "fun facts" with others, open commission, marketing, small business, etc.
      Yea..it's become sort of "escapism" from stressful days. Just keep the balance when using it. Don't become their puppet. That's it.

I’ve been getting more and more followers, but I’m starting to be more and more stressed... Instead of just stop with using Instagram, I’ll use the advise given in this video and start carefully to have a focus on my life and not others. I love taking photos, but comparing is not going to help me. Therefore, I’ll be 100% original and do what I want and not what I think others want...

    - Take breaks: like one month off.
    - Use a second phone or laptop to access social media, dont have it on your main phone, where you have easy access all the time.
    - Follow accounts that you like, and you don't find your self judging them or feeling off by viewing their feed.
    Control and mastering social media is key.

    18 year old here. Never had Snapchat or Instagram. Only Facebook and use it once every 3-4 months.
    The amount of time my friends and classmates invest in these platforms, I invest in learning psychology, philosophy, theology and science by extensive reading and using TH-cam to my advantage.
    Thank you IP, you were the one who convinced me on not using social media with the last video you did about it (probably 2 years ago now). Been here since 80k subscribers. Stay strong!

    The timing of this video is so crazy for me, personally. I just deleted Instagram the other day after my depression came back after years of not having a hint of it. I'm probably nearing the top of my workplace's social hierarchy, I have many friends and I make music as a hobby which I love, and still under the lens of the drug that is Instagram, I believed I'm some kind of under-performing uninteresting dude and started feeling bad.
    This video raises many important points, don't let social media dictate how you evaluate yourself - if you feel like it does than delete it instantly.
    Thanks for another great one, Improvement Pill.

    Instragam is all about trying to get noticed. You have to constantly post and meet certain social requirements to get noticed.
    I only post art and animations on my account. Because I don't post often, I'm a nobody. I'm average. Normal. In a word. Instagram is bull.

    I totally agree with this video's message. I think it's kinda scary how negatively we're affected by social media. However, I believe this doesn't apply as much to people like me.
    You see, I'm an aspiring artist. My Instagram feed is filled with great artwork from amazing artists that I look up to. Whenever I open my instagram and see all of the cool drawings and art studies, it fills me with motivation. I'm also following my high school peers, most of whom put up drawings regularly. Seeing what they've drawn makes me fired up, I want to become better than them. :D
    I believe as long as your feed isn't filled with happy people (or people pretending to be), you can still gain at least some benefits from social media.
    But yes, there are definitely other downsides such as addictive algorithms etc. I just wanted to put this out there, I know it really only applies to the art kids, but hey at least it' something

    The thing about instagram is how it rewards unfair advantages such as looks, I've seen people especially girls just get what they want like attention because of their looks, not because of their talent, charecter, intelligence. I know a girl who flaunts with pictures of other people , but when i got to know her she told me that she disliked most of them and those friends didn't influence her in anyways. So yes in theory people can be seen holding hands , smiling where in reality they pretend like they dont know each other. Remeber don't compare yourself with others , just compare yourself with you. You are enough.

    The key is to minimize your usage of them especially Instagram and Snapchat which are vanity blackholes. Go days and weeks without logging into them. The problem comes when you're checking it everyday and logging in constantly because you're bored and instead of doing something productive it leads you down this blackhole. Also if deleting them is necessary and you find no value in them you should.

    When I was in high school, 2005-2009, Facebook was pretty limited in nature, and Snapchat, Instragram, and Twitter were in the future. Looking back, I'm glad! I don't envy today's teenagers being so helplessly latched onto media like that and getting nearly ALL their self-worth and perception of others from it. I did everything face to face, and IMO there's no replacement. Today, I hardly bother with Twitter and I never even downloaded Snapchat or Instragram, because I simply don't need nonsense like that!

    I’m glad this video exists because it brings awareness to a disease not many people know of yet feel almost daily. And although I do get feelings of inferiority, I start to learn how to use social media to my benefit rather than use it to compare my life to someone else (ofcouse it may come natural to sometimes do that but it just lessened)
    It’s ironic that I have instagram as one of my social apps other than youtube, facebook and tumblr (...and thats it lol, I’m sure others like me have less) but none of them affect me negatively. Rather than using instagram or fb to compare my life to someone else’s, I use them to know what’s up with the people I’m interested in knowing or people I look up to so I can either feel inspired or just see something aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. (Insta and tumblr are heaven for aesthetics)
    Followers and likes don’t mean anything to me, and although I’d be happy to know someone liked, comment or reblogged what I occasionally post I... don’t put emphasis on that experience. Rather, I treat any of the apps I have as either for entertainment purposes or a ‘diary’-like purpose to express how I feel or what I feel like showing anyone. So more emphasis is put into these two categories and are very self-indulgent, as social media apps should be. However, many people don’t know where to draw the line and overlap their status in the community they live in to their status to the people worldwide, which is sad.
    Eye-opening video, I hope people who’re dealing with this problem will learn to think for themselves in a way that isn’t harmful.

    I usually use instagram as a source of knowledge.. for example workouts, there is a TON of tutorials there you don’t even have to purchase a workout program anymore. Its a matter of doing what you can and making sure you can use Instagram or social media as a source of inspiration and well maybe a motivator.
