Social media has made me tooo sensitive to depression and anxiety. Now i am calm in all life situation like talking, moving out, excercise, reading ,yoga ,meditation.
The “best” social media platform is TH-cam cause it s very educational. It doesn t feel like ur using social media when ur on TH-cam cause ur always learning
Without a doubt. With Instagram, u really have to try to not scroll passively. A lot of ppl just scroll passively. Also, providing value to the table is important on Instagram like leaving insightful comments
And the dumb thing about social media is that if you comment, you are somehow expected to keep track of the replies and like the comments, etc. Exhausting! Here, it doens't really matter.Not a social network. I love youtube. I've learned so much and my attention is kept longer on topics I actually want to know about and sought after actively, not by passively scrolling.
I laughed so hard when you said that you found there was extra hours in the day. It's amazing how beautiful the world actually is once we finally see it away from our phones
I've been off social media for nearly two years. Best thing I ever did. You don't have to see all the hate that goes on in the world, no fake news, no conspiracy theorists. It's heaven.
I've never had social media. if you want to find out more about me, don't stalk me over the internet, just come and have a chat. Isn't talking much better? Or give me a call. That's why this generation has decaying social skills, because they're not talking and interacting with each other.
I deactivated my facebook account last August and it was the best decision I've ever made. I realized that my facebook timeline was getting toxic everytime i scroll down through my newsfeed. And now i dont care what posts or events i missed from my friends because i feel healthier.
Me too, I have online friends who boasts too much about their daily lives. It's getting kind of annoying so I also decided to quit facebook. I'm now on my Fourth day, And I must say. It's the best decision I've made for a while.
Jeana de Guzman I’ve now deleted all my social media, never felt happier! Living back in the real world is very peaceful and empowering. Fb has just become a site of endless arguing, it’s a toxic scourge upon society
I stopped using social media 8 months back and life is so much better now, I'm a lot happier and I have a lot, a lot of time for other things which I wasn't able to do before. Life's better :)
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Idc what other people are doing and other people probably don’t care about my 10 hours a day on my pc so I don’t use any social media lol
Agreed. I got rid of my Facebook account a month ago. And it feels awesome. Sucks that I can't message my old friends anymore, but in all honesty, I just wanted off FB for good. Now if I could just get off Instagram since it's owned by Facebook as well. I keep it because of funny and cute posts I follow.
I quit Instagram and Twitter Only look at fb a few times a week for Ten minutes or so Not all day & half the night like I use to I have gotten alot done& feel better
What were you doing with your entire life where you would look on your phone so much that you never had time for anything else. I don't get these social media brakes or quitting social media like maybe just look away from the phone or delete the app and not care so much goodness
I quit Twitter 28 days ago. I just got up one morning and decided I'd had enough and deactivated my account. It became a "job", feeling obligated to tweet, like, comment etc. and I probably spent 4 hours a day on there. Plus I felt it was making me narcissistic, like I was so important that I actually thought people cared about what my salad looks like. First 2 weeks were hard because I was really addicted. But now I feel free! Never going back. I'm a lot happier and my brain feels clear and focused. Good decision.
Los Torres If you are still interacting _WITH_ others, regardless weather what platform you use. That in it of itself is considered _SOCIAL_ Media. If you are using or browsing the TH-cam comment section, then it is accepted as being social media weather you like it or not. The TH-cam comment section has approval mechanisms such as the like ratio, and also a subscription feature which people abuse as a substitute for "friending."
I feel really good knowing that someone is doing the same as I did. On the the 3rd of February, 2018, I'll be completing my " A year without social media" experiment; if we don't count TH-cam as social media. 😅 It's safe to say that the more you get away from social media the better life is. More productive, more happy, more focused, less drama, and more time reading useful things rather than filling our brain with junk. Really glad to watch this video. 💛
I also deactivated my all social media account and you know what life became more social and productive.😇 Everyone should give it a try it is damn beneficial.
Da Bossman without social media and not without phone mate. Social media is more time waste. Social media is an addiction which makes you feel that you are social but in reality it makes you more unsocial and far from society.
I did the same thing 8 months ago and now my daily schedule is changed, definitely recommend you to do it, whenever you will do that you will see there are just a few people will keep in touch with you which are real and you don't need to make everyone happy and satisfy!
Mrs. John i agree because i am kind of introverted, but when i deleted all of my social media i started to notice that I've had more time interacting with people
I only have snap and Instagram. I’ve been off both for 2 weeks. The benefits are crazy! My brain feels less all over the place I feel more focused when studying. I have more time so I’m more productive. And I don’t have the constant urge to keep checking for notifications, I feel so clear headed. It’s so great and shows social media is just a waste of time.
This video makes me realize that I need to stop this social media thing. I spend around 12 hours a day on Twitter.. which leads to weight gain due to stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression
I had over 1,000 Facebook friends, no longer use Facebook. No one knows I’m gone. People are self centered, it’s all about them! I have so much more time for me!
Permenently deleted Facebook, instagram & snapchat yesterday. The problem for me was i was looking on everyone expect my own self and it took me in so many directions in life. I was looking for validation becorse the back bone of my soul is weak. How pathetic!
Ignorance is bliss. The less you know - the less you've got to worry about. As that character 'Tyler Durden' said in the movie 'Fight Club' "The things you own - end up owning you". Get rid of the unnecessary shit, like social media, and just focus on living your own life.
I have fb and Twitter but haven't used them for years, just logging in a few times per year "just to see", and haven't even tried Snapchat, Instagram and whatever. Basically because I have very little social life (heh...), but besides that, if you don't have any of these it's like you don't exist for most of people. But when I see them opening insta and scrolling, liking, scrolling, liking... Seeing like 50 pics in 5 seconds and liking them almost automatically, mostly from girls seeking attention and stupid trends and filters... It's when I know I'm glad I don't have them, and don't feel like trying them at all
The main social media that I need to stop using so much is youtube I have already done this challenge with twitter, snapchat and instagram and I don't check or go on them so often anymore but darn youtube I cantttttt
I deleted my twitter back in 2011-2012; Instagram in 2015, and deactivated facebook since last November. Its been great; keep up the good work! #socialMediaisPoison
I deleted Twitter a few months ago, didnt realise how much of a toll it took on my life before I quit. I would spend so much time on it I'd get headaches, stay up all night and I genuinely believe it contributed to my depression. Quit it. Its not worth it.
This is so true, when i see waiting lines now a days. They look down and scroll on their phones. It makes then less creative in dealing with time in doing nothing. Ever since i quitted social media, life has become more meaningful, the point is that you are not needing all of the information people keep on posting. If they invite you to a party, your REAL friends will message you through your cellphone number.
last year I took a break for 6 months it was part of my new year's resolution and I realized how much stress being on Facebook caused me. I then got back on to try to get my business going but instead of getting business I got caught up in old friends and family all of the things going on in their lives without having them in my actual daily physical life. Yes it was nice for awhile but then yet again I have felt like it has become too much and taking up alot of time that i could be using on other things in my daily life that actually could use and deserve my attention so I have decided to not get back on for awhile if ever again because it is extremely exhausting. I miss the way things use to be where your friends are your neighbors and you actually know what is going on with your family and friends by actually sitting down and having a conversation,where you are not occupied by who liked or didn't like something you post,going outside for a walk is refreshing being glued to everyone's issues that you may or may not be able to control can become mentally and physically unhealthy as well as draining. i think sometimes a break is neccessary
We all know that we don't need social media because we have actually lived the majority of our lives without it unless you are really young. We just need to get out of this habit that we have slowly crawled into of going on it all the time.
It’s hard to quit in a sudden action. First you should turn of all the notifications. Then you will feel great. After 1 or 2 months it will be easy for you. Try it. It’s worked for me.
Being isolated in real life's better than being isolated in a virtual life. If you know what i mean, no matter how many "virtual" friends you have in the social media, you're still isolated from real life and not in touch with real people, plus you're wasting time for some unnessecary thing.
100%! I've been off my personal FB for over a year. Totally deleted IG today after not being active for a year. Deleted Twitter. Still on YT but that's it. It is fricken amazing what it has done to focus, energy etc.. Also, have you guys watched the Social Dilemma? A friend let me watch it on his Netflix (no tV for me).....you won't want to continue. TOXIC! Much love to you.
I also quit Instagram last month and facebook two and half year ago. I feel like I don't miss anything as she said. The only social media I use is twitter. But I limited my self and try to decrease scrolling
Yep, works well, I was using Facebook and Instagram, then shit happened in my life, well I basically made shit happen. So I decided it was time for a change, and a few months later, I can say I became way more productive, I've read a whole lot more, I've worked multiple jobs, I nlw do engineering school plus work at an engineering firm part time. I also used to play video games quite a lot actually, one day, a few weeks after I stopped social media, I decided it was too much of a waste of time, I sold/deleted everything. Steam account, Origin accounts, sold gaming monitor, now I don't even think about playing anymore. Also, all the shit caused md to lose the people I was closest too, I got to meet new people, I make more money now, I am becoming a much better person, I have goals, I've learned so much from reading/listening to books. Main person I think everyone should read is Thomas Sowell, amazing man
that's cool. i am quitting fb and i want to ig but part of me still wants to hang on to it. your righ theres no going back. does youtube affect you at all in wanting to go back?
I did that for a year only to stay focus on my school for final exams to go in college. The first one-two or three weeks are hard but you're gonna like. Try it just once. If you want. Quit it forever
i cut off all my social media a couple days ago, and it is the best decision ive made in a while too, i have time to finally work on that project ive been wanting to start and start new hobbies that ive been wanting to get into. Life is good, don't waste your life in social media where there is a false sense of accomplishment.
I deleted all social media’s, except TH-cam, (bc I still wanted to watch videos) for all of last years summer. It was worth it and a lot better than with social media. I really recommend people do this.
This is so true! As a teen it became so difficult to suddenly change my ways of fitting in and knowing everything at every moment. Social media was an excuse to relate to people and appear social but have no real relationship with true values, this easily became a visible problem as I began being more judgemental, depressed and lonely. I’m also a believer of Christ and I felt like social media had become an idol so I bravely decided to let it go and OH MY FRICKING DAYS MY LIFE HAS SO MUCH PURPOSE AND FREEDOM a lot of feeling delivered was actually on reasons I never thought that social media was the fault for, like my falling grades and insecurity. As a youth in the current age TRUST ME it’ll make everything change for the better 😄
I did a 6 month social media fast myself. The first couple of weeks were hard but after that it was smooth sailing. I ended up not even wanting to get back on but I did with new intentions.
After i quit social media and games addiction Now i have TH-cam and Google research addiction watching science history strategies learning new things like a college students now im always curious and learning on my own with confirmation in Google, Google and TH-cam is like a teacher better than a university Teacher and professors
I have found that social media doesn't really make us more social. but instead robs of us the better option of communicating in person. In my 3 weeks off of social media, despite my social anxiety, I am able to communicate so much better in real life and approach people without stuttering. I am now able to experience real human connection and as a loner, this is pretty exciting. Best decision of 20/20.
This is so relatable it's been a month i have deleted my Instagram account yes,it is so relaxing now my thoughts are unambiguous and I am more productive in my life than ever🥰 it feels great.
For me, youtube is the video equivalent of google search. You get to learn legit infos not rumors nor hearsay. (well if you're on the right place in youtube)
I came here because I know I'm an addict. I occasionally detox from facebook and omg its amazing. Unfortunately right now I'm back on it. Just wish I could delete my account completely because I don't bloody need it! I just posted a huge rant about social media/cell phone addiction and am totally sharing this. Thank you!
I tried it for a month but I felt very isolated from the rest of the world and my thoughts were killing me because I deleted it due to some personal conflict with a dear one. So it did not really work for me
I have already done it. It does feel like I changed. More determined to pursue my goals. Everyone should mind their own business and not seeing what others do. That’s why mental diseases appear in young people.
Really. That is just awesome. Live in real life, not virtually. If u don't have guts to quit it. Then u must watch: THIS IS OUR WORLD BY STEVE CUTTS.👍👍👍. Plz do watch this. This will surely help.
I am happy to see this video and comments that I m not in that few persons who quit social media..Two year before this Facebook is kind of addiction of mine..And now I am absolutely free from this all...💛💛
I like chess and all, but it’s a little too slow paced for me and I typically lose, probably because I’m impatient and make my moves too quickly. I love Video games.
I’ve quit FB for 2 months. It sucks missing friend events. You do get to see who your real friends are bc they’ll text you and send copies of the invites you’d normally get.
@@tylerhorton8537 good for you and same goes to me.seriously i dont care abt social media anymore(execpt yt lol)..i noticed my life more comfortable when i quitted social media
The best thing she says in this video is how mindlessly scrolling through social media makes us fail to deal with ourselves and our emotions. It’s a cope out from having to deal with ourselves. That’s gold
I just started yesterday/Saturday and I’m surprised I’ve gotten this far! I’m so addicted to social media, it’s all I ever do. I hope I can at least keep off until the last day of school (May 25th). My mind is trying to tell me I won’t be able to do it but I’m still going to try. Social Media is toxic and I don’t want to be apart of that, especially when my depression and anxiety has expanded over the years while using it. I hope that even if I do make it to May 25th, I’ll tell myself that I won’t need it anymore and stay off of it longer. I want to be happier.
I've been off Facebook now for two months. You may have urges to go back. I encourage people to just deactivate. Technology in general has taken control of us. I actually went old school and purchased cds. In some ways, its driving people crazy.
And I quit everysocial media for forever, and believe me it's so relaxing only use WP and Yt and it's almost an year now and it's peaceful and this "forever" will last for forever 😂😂😂,
I started in late mid-2016 but I made a few days of coming back and only came back for special occasions and when I took vacation out of town. I was happy with the decision but each time I had come back, my mood has worsened. Before late mid-2017, it was hard to stay off for a month and I had only stayed off 2 full months compared to now (More than 4-5 months straight). That time I still kept Snapchat, Twitter and LinkedIn on to keep in touch After a death in the family after my graduation from college, and making too many comebacks to social media, I felt after my Summer vacation it was time to get off and find some peace and establish myself by preparing myself for the world of work. Unlike the previous year I quit, I had stopped coming to all of social media including Snap, Twitter and LinkedIn continuously for months til Christmas and New Year and after that have not gone back on since unless absolutely needed. I cannot tell and agree enough on how peaceful it feels. Keeping in touch by email, call or text is the way to go for me mostly. I feel that if I install one app again I will be tempted to install everything again.
anyone else pretty much only use youtube?
Struggle 24/7

Craz Tech yessss. Please dont
Smart move
(I said the same thing, still don’t have it besides TH-cam)
I wish I were you, that's about the age I got addicted.
Yeah it happens to everyone TH-cam is my social media
Good choice! You’ll grow up wise 😉
I haven't had facebook since maybe 2011. Never had twitter/Snapchat or Instagram. People are boring and I don't care what they are doing.
“People are boring and I don’t care what they’re doing” 😂😂😂

If they invite you to a party, your REAL friends will message you through your cellphone number.
last year I took a break for 6 months it was part of my new year's resolution and I realized how much stress being on Facebook caused me. I then got back on to try to get my business going but instead of getting business I got caught up in old friends and family all of the things going on in their lives without having them in my actual daily physical life. Yes it was nice for awhile but then yet again I have felt like it has become too much and taking up alot of time that i could be using on other things in my daily life that actually could use and deserve my attention so I have decided to not get back on for awhile if ever again because it is extremely exhausting. I miss the way things use to be where your friends are your neighbors and you actually know what is going on with your family and friends by actually sitting down and having a conversation,where you are not occupied by who liked or didn't like something you post,going outside for a walk is refreshing being glued to everyone's issues that you may or may not be able to control can become mentally and physically unhealthy as well as draining. i think sometimes a break is neccessary
We all know that we don't need social media because we have actually lived the majority of our lives without it unless you are really young. We just need to get out of this habit that we have slowly crawled into of going on it all the time.
I just deleted all of my social media yesterday. I feel like I have so much time to do whatever I desire. Wish me luck on this journey guys!
I have gone from all social media (except TH-cam) to get life...
Really struggling to quit social media ......always failed to quit
It’s hard to quit in a sudden action. First you should turn of all the notifications. Then you will feel great. After 1 or 2 months it will be easy for you. Try it. It’s worked for me.
Just delete it don’t overthink
I never started social media so i never got any of the negatives. You should do it too. It is healthier and you don't feel as watched and judged.
I’m a week away from social media and I feel happier already to be honest
1 year has passed and I'm so happy but I became isolated but it was worth it.
I actually am liking the isolation. No one knowing what I am or what I'm doing...
Being isolated in real life's better than being isolated in a virtual life. If you know what i mean, no matter how many "virtual" friends you have in the social media, you're still isolated from real life and not in touch with real people, plus you're wasting time for some unnessecary thing.
@@lauriemahoney1935 Same here!!!
100%! I've been off my personal FB for over a year. Totally deleted IG today after not being active for a year. Deleted Twitter. Still on YT but that's it. It is fricken amazing what it has done to focus, energy etc.. Also, have you guys watched the Social Dilemma? A friend let me watch it on his Netflix (no tV for me).....you won't want to continue. TOXIC! Much love to you.
Who else are going to try this😂😂🙄😂
No One..
I am thinking
lol
aSh OfficiAl try dis? I've been doing this for the past year its the best thing eva
aSh OfficiAl I've tried this & it literally works
Me. What's your IG?
I also quit Instagram last month and facebook two and half year ago. I feel like I don't miss anything as she said. The only social media I use is twitter. But I limited my self and try to decrease scrolling
At least she's using an android.
Saif Tbh I never saw anyone comment this.
ikr
do u no da wae?
Aacro Partially does. The video is about her stopping using her phone
LOL yassss.
Yep, works well, I was using Facebook and Instagram, then shit happened in my life, well I basically made shit happen.
So I decided it was time for a change, and a few months later, I can say I became way more productive, I've read a whole lot more, I've worked multiple jobs, I nlw do engineering school plus work at an engineering firm part time. I also used to play video games quite a lot actually, one day, a few weeks after I stopped social media, I decided it was too much of a waste of time, I sold/deleted everything. Steam account, Origin accounts, sold gaming monitor, now I don't even think about playing anymore.
Also, all the shit caused md to lose the people I was closest too, I got to meet new people, I make more money now, I am becoming a much better person, I have goals, I've learned so much from reading/listening to books. Main person I think everyone should read is Thomas Sowell, amazing man
I've been living without Instagram for almost 3 years now and it was the best decision I've ever made. There's no going back.
that's cool. i am quitting fb and i want to ig but part of me still wants to hang on to it. your righ theres no going back. does youtube affect you at all in wanting to go back?
I did that for a year only to stay focus on my school for final exams to go in college. The first one-two or three weeks are hard but you're gonna like. Try it just once. If you want. Quit it forever
It's been 53 days since I have used social media. Feels great .
TH-cam is also a social media if you think about it
@@ujjwalmk ohhh...Accha...aise hi bhi hai kya
i cut off all my social media a couple days ago, and it is the best decision ive made in a while too, i have time to finally work on that project ive been wanting to start and start new hobbies that ive been wanting to get into. Life is good, don't waste your life in social media where there is a false sense of accomplishment.
I deleted all social media’s, except TH-cam, (bc I still wanted to watch videos) for all of last years summer. It was worth it and a lot better than with social media. I really recommend people do this.
Been away from facebook for years now, no instagram. My life is great, and more meaningful, with real people around me.
I'm two weeks into my cleanse and I feel great! 🤗
I deleted. Instagram, facebook,snapchat, twitter and bam i am done. Started to read alot and now i am making vision boards! I feel good🦋
Good for you! I did this four or five years ago and never looked back. I rediscovered books. I literally only use my phone for texts or calls
I quit social media for 1 year. I recommend others too quite social media. U guys will have more time to
Concentrate on ur stuff.
This is so true! As a teen it became so difficult to suddenly change my ways of fitting in and knowing everything at every moment. Social media was an excuse to relate to people and appear social but have no real relationship with true values, this easily became a visible problem as I began being more judgemental, depressed and lonely. I’m also a believer of Christ and I felt like social media had become an idol so I bravely decided to let it go and OH MY FRICKING DAYS MY LIFE HAS SO MUCH PURPOSE AND FREEDOM a lot of feeling delivered was actually on reasons I never thought that social media was the fault for, like my falling grades and insecurity. As a youth in the current age TRUST ME it’ll make everything change for the better 😄
I did a 6 month social media fast myself. The first couple of weeks were hard but after that it was smooth sailing. I ended up not even wanting to get back on but I did with new intentions.
Kinda ironic we’re watching this on social media
It's not actually a social media but a video creating platform 🤗
After i quit social media and games addiction Now i have TH-cam and Google research addiction watching science history strategies learning new things like a college students now im always curious and learning on my own with confirmation in Google, Google and TH-cam is like a teacher better than a university Teacher and professors
Calling it now...
Lets start a movement to quit social media the garbage of communication.
#BreatheAgain
I’m in 👊🏽
I have found that social media doesn't really make us more social. but instead robs of us the better option of communicating in person. In my 3 weeks off of social media, despite my social anxiety, I am able to communicate so much better in real life and approach people without stuttering. I am now able to experience real human connection and as a loner, this is pretty exciting. Best decision of 20/20.
This is so relatable it's been a month i have deleted my Instagram account yes,it is so relaxing now my thoughts are unambiguous and I am more productive in my life than ever🥰 it feels great.
already quit social media , just watching to stay on track ...😅😅
Day 1 without social media.
Focusing on good.
It’s only been a week and I already feel less anxiety 💚
Does TH-cam counts if I would try to quit social media for a week?
I second that! 👍
No
For me, youtube is the video equivalent of google search. You get to learn legit infos not rumors nor hearsay. (well if you're on the right place in youtube)
If you browse the TH-cam comment section, that is Social Media. But if you don't use it then you're free.
I mean I took a break from TH-cam but now I’m doing it for Facebook & Instagram I have Twitter & Snapchat but I don’t use them often
I came here because I know I'm an addict. I occasionally detox from facebook and omg its amazing. Unfortunately right now I'm back on it. Just wish I could delete my account completely because I don't bloody need it! I just posted a huge rant about social media/cell phone addiction and am totally sharing this. Thank you!
I'm gonna quit Snapchat; it's kinda crap😑
Micah Taylor Exactly.
I quit Snapchat 2 years ago. I still don't regret it.
I've been free and clear of all "social media" for over 6 months now and I feel so much better these days. This video is spot on!
I tried it for a month but I felt very isolated from the rest of the world and my thoughts were killing me because I deleted it due to some personal conflict with a dear one. So it did not really work for me
mysterious lass same thing happens to me right now ...
Then you probably shouldn’t go back
Aayushi Singh u feel isolated bcs you dont have a hoby or a goal you aim for in your life!
I have already done it. It does feel like I changed. More determined to pursue my goals. Everyone should mind their own business and not seeing what others do. That’s why mental diseases appear in young people.
Really. That is just awesome. Live in real life, not virtually. If u don't have guts to quit it. Then u must watch: THIS IS OUR WORLD BY STEVE CUTTS.👍👍👍. Plz do watch this. This will surely help.
I deleted social media around a month ago I fell so much better every body should do it x 🖤🙌🏻
Who needs social media when you have TH-cam
I am happy to see this video and comments that I m not in that few persons who quit social media..Two year before this Facebook is kind of addiction of mine..And now I am absolutely free from this all...💛💛
There is a college humor sketch designed exactly about people like you.
7 months on, i have deleted all my social accounts and now whats app as well since two weeks. And i am just living it.
Never downloaded Social media apps and don’t like videogames. Only chess...
Madness Jack what's ur rating ?
Kalpana Rajesh 1500 points average. Best of my highschool. Going in tournaments to get my fide. Hbu
lichess.org
Marti Mtz yes!You play?
I like chess and all, but it’s a little too slow paced for me and I typically lose, probably because I’m impatient and make my moves too quickly.
I love Video games.
I’ve quit FB for 2 months. It sucks missing friend events. You do get to see who your real friends are bc they’ll text you and send copies of the invites you’d normally get.
Day 5 of social media cleansing. Let's see how far I go.
Well done keep up the good work!
Congratulations
Myleen Pang I quit instagram because I don’t care about using it
@@tylerhorton8537 good for you and same goes to me.seriously i dont care abt social media anymore(execpt yt lol)..i noticed my life more comfortable when i quitted social media
The best thing she says in this video is how mindlessly scrolling through social media makes us fail to deal with ourselves and our emotions. It’s a cope out from having to deal with ourselves. That’s gold
i am 17 and i dont even have a phone,not that i cant afford it,just because i dont need it
Don't even have a Nokia?
@I miss Mama It's called a computer.
I just started yesterday/Saturday and I’m surprised I’ve gotten this far! I’m so addicted to social media, it’s all I ever do. I hope I can at least keep off until the last day of school (May 25th). My mind is trying to tell me I won’t be able to do it but I’m still going to try. Social Media is toxic and I don’t want to be apart of that, especially when my depression and anxiety has expanded over the years while using it. I hope that even if I do make it to May 25th, I’ll tell myself that I won’t need it anymore and stay off of it longer. I want to be happier.
Me : I will uninstall TH-cam
My Android phone : You ain't got the balls..
I've been off Facebook now for two months. You may have urges to go back. I encourage people to just deactivate. Technology in general has taken control of us. I actually went old school and purchased cds. In some ways, its driving people crazy.
And I quit everysocial media for forever,
and believe me it's so relaxing only use WP and Yt and it's almost an year now and it's peaceful and this "forever" will last for forever 😂😂😂,
I'm actually on my 4th day now and it still feel so weird but I'm loving it 😂
Sounds like a great idea tbh.
Yes it does but...
do u no da wae?
I started in late mid-2016 but I made a few days of coming back and only came back for special occasions and when I took vacation out of town. I was happy with the decision but each time I had come back, my mood has
worsened. Before late mid-2017, it was hard to stay off for a month and I had only stayed off 2 full months compared to now (More than 4-5 months straight). That time I still kept Snapchat, Twitter and LinkedIn on to keep in touch After a death in the family after my graduation from college, and making too many comebacks to social media, I felt after my Summer vacation it was time to get off and find some peace and establish myself by preparing myself for the world of work. Unlike the previous year I quit, I had stopped coming to all of social media including Snap, Twitter and LinkedIn continuously for months til Christmas and New Year and after that have not gone back on since unless absolutely needed. I cannot tell and agree enough on how peaceful it feels. Keeping in touch by email, call or text is the way to go for me mostly. I feel that if I install one app again I will be tempted to install everything again.
