- Social Media has been a part of my daily routine for 10 years of my life, but earlier last year i've decided to dial it down a bit and quit instagram, one of most used platforms. Fast forward to the end of last year I permanently deleted twitter, my favourite and most beloved social media account. When i realized how much weight that had lifted off my shoulders I decided to go full force and completely off all of my accounts. Its a decision that to this day i do not regret:) !!
hopefully this video helps you out a but if you're in the same boat, it'll be tough, but its definitely worth it!

hi everyone hope your weeks been going well
Congrats!, All I used was facebook but I have been gone since December 2020 and have no plans to return!. Peace of mind, living in my own skin with my own thoughts , in touch with my surroundings and myself is what my life is about today versus living for likes,comments and validation also. It's just not worth it anymore, it's so addictive because it was created to be!...I still use messenger but the fb app is deleted!. I honestly can't picture or see myself coming back because my mind is so clear and I have time to read,exercise,write about my life, and enjoy the real world around me. You are on the right path and your personal life will get better!
wise beyond your years :)
I could relate to every single thing you felt. I deactivated Facebook 6 years ago & never gone back. Idk how to use TikTok or SC but I use IG off & on but it sucks you in once you start posting stories everyday & keep scrolling through explore for hours. Trying my best to stick to 1 or 2 hours per day as I keep up with my close & not-so-close friends ON Instagram. Limiting social media has saved me a lot of time for myself, to think, to do better things & to make more meaningful real connections in real life. But anytime you wanna go back it's fine too. :) As long as we do not let it consume our lives. Good for you
@@shenquanrui_ricky520 thanks for this🫶🏻
You do realise RUclips is social media?
"i quit social media and i regretted it" - said no one ever
Facts!!
me. i regret it.
The fact that social media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat never troubled me cuz i never had any of this.
RUclips, my biggest addiction and RUclips shorts added to it. I was introduced to youtube when i was 14 and now 17. In the past two years i didn't realised i was stuck with RUclips. I'm glad my parents didn't introduced me to socials at an early age like 10 but still it's tough to overcome this.
@@Izzy- Me too! People don’t really talk about RUclips addictions, or how frustrating shorts are :(
@@Izzy- dang I was introduced to RUclips as a baby...

Amazing comment
hits right at the spot
Love this❤️❤️❤️
Yeah so true!
For me RUclips is the best form of social media right now. It isn‘t that popular anymore so content creators are serious about it rather then trying to become famous by going viral. That‘s the big issue with Tiktok and Instagram. Everyone is following trends so they are recommended to more people. RUclips became lowkey wholesome and much more inspiring.
Wow I didn’t realize it until i read this. This is so true
Yess!
i save a lot of videos to my 'watch later' playlist. resisting the urge to scroll on instagram, this means i'm only consuming the things i'm interested in and are beneficial to my life, rather than consuming everything and harming my own mentality by scrolling on instagram and tiktok all day. i'm taking control of my own life by curating what it is i give my attention to and why i give it
Yes that is exactly why I honestly mostly use RUclips I'm in a process of healing I don't open any socials for days now
This comment 💖
I felt happier when I had no social media. I felt more peaceful. But being on social media and being a young adult, I’m constantly seeing people having fun, going on holidays, getting into relationships, getting engaged and then I feel like well what am I doing with my life. Social media causes a lot of comparison
Then, why not be that person? Going on trips, getting into relationships and such. Instead of just watching them.
More power to u 💪
@@maxbokol not everyone has the funds to go on trips or go out every other day !
I very much relate to this 🤧
@@maxbokol just talk is easy. All that need money and time. If you work in a company it's hard to take vacation
Deleting social media makes you very wholesome tbh
& I agree 100%🥺
It's like living back to the 2000s
Because of social media you say “wholesome”.
How about deleting social media makes you normal. As people lived all this time before 2007/2008
I can’t delete RUclips , that’s the one thing I will always use , everything else can go 😅
@@r.9251youtube is honestly a safe place for me now. There's literally everything i can watch and keep myself in track with. I also do think that yt is the most less toxic media platforms out there when compared to instagram, twitter, etc. There's no drama here but just me and my comfort channels and videos that i love lol
social media for me has trashed my mental health. what i thought was “confidence” was posting every selfie where i thought i looked perfect and working out just so i could show my body off to everyone else. looking back, i wasn’t confident. a confident person doesn’t need others to validate her every photo. this may not apply to everyone, but i truly feel the more people feel the need to post to show off their physique, their money, their good news- the more insecure they probably are.
you’re better off without it.
You're so right
💯💯 true people project their insecurities via there posts
Trueee
Very true
a confident person doesn’t need others to validate her every photo , I like this words
Social media has turned humanity into a bunch of cowards. People say things on Twitter or Tik Tok that they wouldn't dare say out loud in public or to someone's face.
literally!
so so true
Mike Tyson said that social media has made people too comfortable saying things and not getting punched in the face for it. (paraphrase)

To anyone who can see this:
This is not related to the post or comment.
All have sinned against God. All fall short of his glory. No one is good, not even one. The wages of sin is death. The soul that sins shall die.
God is holy. His forgiveness demands the shedding of blood. In His mercy, God gave up his one and unique Son, Jesus Christ, to be hung on a cross to satisfy His wrath for all our sins. God so loved the world, he sacrificed His Chosen One, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus is the revelation of God's righteousness and justice. He is the way to God. No one can be justified in the sight of God by their own good works or character. Jesus gives salvation to anyone who comes to him. He only calls you to repent and follow him.
Life is not about money, reputation, status, possessions, achievements, comfort, pleasure, having fun, or relationships. Life is about God, the author of it. Turn back to him, and you will be forgiven for He is merciful. I was a sinner like everyone before, but God saved me through Jesus. Jesus has given me peace, joy, contentment, and everlasting peace with God. Life is short, and no one knows when Jesus will come back. May this day be the day you repent and believe in the Son of God. God loves you, but he is holy.
Jesus: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
Jesus: "The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day." (John 12:48)
Quitting social media is a good way to find out who is a real friend and who isn't
What about online friends? Your comment is quite pathetic.
This and that's how I realized that I rlly have no friends I just know lots of ppl
insta made me feel like i was popular and known (and cared for) by a lot of people, when it was just an illusion. None of them cared or remembered about my existence. Social media is a lie. @@_lsvornics920

i actually dont believe that if u quit social media u become an introvert, but u appreciate more other stuff like spending time out or reading a book. best decision c:
couldnt agree more🥰
Idk why people even think that. The counterpart would mean that you become an extrovert if you use social media which is where it becomes clear how absurd it is🤡
Also enjoying alone time is not dependend on wether you are extroverted or introverted, it's something everyone can learn to enjoy for themselves :)
@@Babyy_girl Exactly! smh
I honestly think when you quit social media you become more present cause your not looking at your phone 24/7 with the exception of texting/calling/video chatting with people
I just really don't care about anything that's happening outside of my life and the lives of the few people I love the most . social media is just like politics it is a distraction from your own life .
I'm military and I got rid of social media right before I left home. Here's what happened since:
1. I don't care about being "popular" anymore. I'm embracing being an introverted loner.
2. I've stopped comparing myself to others.
3. I'm forgetting about the toxic people I've encountered back home.
4. Drama has been significantly reduced.
Yess, I can relate to every single one of those! I am so happy for you to have found peace in being off of your socials, it can definitely be a hard step to take, but its so worth it in the end:)) Wishing you well in the military😊
@@MichelleGia omg same :)
same
We're completely the same
5. You didn't get rid of social media because you literally posted this on social media!
Disclaimer: If I quit social media, I’d definitely think I’m better than everyone.
Yeah girl ❤❤❤
Honestly same
me too and i don't feel wrong for doing so
So theres a lot quited social media including me. ✨️
Yes you are ✨
Maybe I’m not an ass, but I get so excited when I meet ppl who don’t use social media cuz it increases the chance of them actually having a personality and having hobbies/passions/ and self-respect/dedication
"you're gonna lose a lot of people"
this is a hard truth to accept, but i think of it as something that needs to happen. i quit social media back in 2018 and haven't used it since, and the only people who i've stayed connected with are my best friend and significant other. and when i say connected, i mean connected on a deeper level that transcends any superficial relationships that i would have attempted to maintain had i kept my social media. i might have lost "friends", but i gained stronger relationships with the people who mean the world to me, and there's nothing better than that.
This hit me so hard, i think i’m in transition with this. Scaryyy but i think it is necessary for my well being.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
But those who wants to be a part of your life will find a way to stay in touch
It is a NECESSARY part of life for people to go in an out of your life. There is a natural ebb and flow when it comes to relationships that cannot happen effectively when you have social media to constantly remind you of people from the past. As you get older you will enter and exit different eras of your life where certain people will be closer than others, some will be there short term, some will be long term, but their roles will make sense and nothing will feel forced. In my opinion social media and dating apps force inauthentic connection, which leaves us feeling empty and lonely. You're seeking out something to happen, when you don't have to. The right people will be put in your path, the information you need will come to you, the experiences you need to grow and evolve will be there. You dont' have to *make* anything happen. I think this is something that has been lost as social media has taken over relationships, communication, and interactions in general. Reflecting now, my closest friends and the people i talk to regularly aren't even on social media, or we don't follow each other. LOL!
@@knickandknac absolutely you’re correct ,just because we follow each other’s in social media doesn’t mean we are friends in real life
As a girl you won’t compare yourself with nobody else anymore. It helped me a lot
That's what I have been doing on social media.... being depressed and sad while comparing myself with others... deleting the apps feel so good
Ikr I'm 17 and I hate the way I look, I'm nothing
@@jamelahallsdyer nooo I didn’t mean this, I just wanted to say that social media is fake and no one is that perfect how they showing up themselves by fake photoshoped pictures. Everybody is pretty in their own way, and I am 100% sure that you’re so naturally beautiful 😻 Please love yourself because you deserve it ❤️
@@jamelahallsdyer What you are saying right now is extremely wrong. I used to be there, but it'll be okay!
Thoughts mess us up big time. It's natural to trust your mind, but your mind really can lie to you.
I used to think I was absolutely hideous at your age. My physique is not small and delicate, my face isn't like that either, I have quite small hooded dark brown eyes, a big AND fleshy nose (like an ACTUAL big nose), with a pretty small mouth, a blunt jaw and I could go on.
(Wow, sounds much worse than it actually looks.)
I did not look like the stereotypically feminine look, the delicate pretty doe-eyed girl.
On top of that, I also had some really toxic people around me, but I really thought that I deserved all the criticism and passive aggressive comments. I did not.
You know what opened my eyes? Kibbe body types. Look it up, even if you don't immediately figure it out it will change your life. Aly Art explains it well.
There are so many types of beauty out there, as many as there are types of flowers.
Not to mention, to someone who isn't used to being on instagram, the plastic surgery "enhanced" and edited photos look at best uncanny, at worst disturbing tbh.
true, and im happy for you! but this doesn't apply to girls only ^^"
The amount of time I have wasted on Social Media makes me feel embarrassed.
I have gotten Instagram addiction and I think I am going to deactivate right now.
Mine is like 1000 hours ☠️☠️
@Peace is Worth it 1000 is actually good..That's like a month..In 24 hours people spend like atleast 15 hours on the internet and that's a normal person..Imagine someone addicted
Honestly! enough is enough
ikr whenever i open instagram then boom 3 hours gone . pure evil
relate🤎
"I was more focused on what the memory would look like online than what it actually feels like to be there." THIS. This is THE line.
Thanks for sharing your insights!
That's sooo relatable
HELP. I JUST FEEL SO ANXIOUS IF I DONT USE APPS LIKE SNAPCHAT INSTA ETC TO COMMUNICATE, IT FEELS LIKE IM MISSING OUT, I WILL HAVE NO FRIENDS, EVERYONE WILL FORGET ME , I WILL END UP TOTALLY ALONE IF I DELETED MY SOCIAL ACCOUNTS , IDK IF THIS FEELING IS RIGHT OR WRONG!.
@@gaurimishra8917quitting social media does not mean you literally throw away all your communication. You can keep using your phone, your other apps for communication like messaging app. The social media app people talking here about is Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok, Snapchat etc.
Take for example me. I quit FB, Twitter, Instagram. But I still have youtube and reddit.
after deleting social media i definelty lost a lot of “friends” it’s amazing how after you delete socials how few people check in on you
At least thats better than having an addiction on social media. Because social media is like drugs
I understand what you mean. Many people you have on social media are not real friends because they have not been to concerts with you or seen you succeed with your job or your running goal. People how to call you or SMS you to ask honestly how is it with you. Do you want to take a promenade and talk about life in about everything? That really cares. Not those who have to fake a selfie and say now take a picture and see how many likes we can get on Instagram that example they are unmatured people. Better to dance with your friends that are mature people. If I would take a picture with a friend I do not need to put it out on social media, If I had it in a photo album or a wall I have made it to get positive and think of such good friends I have. I should have done that with some good friends and think good friends are not easy to find and that stays genuine to you.
@@ninjapirate123 wow you doesn't have hobby ?
@@sarahrean7174 I play games than to use social media,
LITERALLY THIS! i haven’t deleted any of my socials yet but ive significantly not been on them as much as i used to, and u really realize how little of the ppl u surround urself with r ur real friends. but also bc i’m homeschooled probably😭 either way my mental health is so much better.
Quitting social media feels like leaving a toxic relationship. It's hard at first, because you are used to living in that toxic loop, but after a while you feel liberated and happy you finally did it, because it wasn't giving you anything of quality, only cheap validation, temporary ego boosts and fake safety. For me it's the dopamine I am craving, but I feel awful everytime I catch myself posting something and waiting for the likes. The last time I snapped was when I realized that instead of cherishing those unique moments with my baby niece, I was filming her or taking pictures of her/us to post and now I don't remember very well our time together. I deactivated my accounts and felt so present and free. After that I activated them again, on and off for some time. This time I was walking through a beautiful scenery and felt so calm and peaceful and happy and instead of soaking in that moment, I thought to take a picture of it to post it and make my feed more beautiful. That moment I realized how we 've imprisoned ourselves in a little screen. We try to fit and limit our whole existence in that little screen and if it doesn't or it doesn't look beautiful to others, then it's not worth it. How sad is that?! That was it, I am going to make this be the last time I do this. I was the same with coffee, on and off, until one day I got mad at myself and decided I can do better. Social media is just another sneaky addiction. We give our precious time so that some strangers can make profit out of it. It's pathetic, actually. We can definitely do better!
So true! Wonderfully written
You can’t describe it better 🙌🏼 I’m going to be a month without social media and it has been difficult to me but I keep going

@@gaurimishra8917 you’ll probably make more genuine friends as you’ll be able to give them real time and attention. Time on social media really doesn’t bring a lot in to your life that is beneficial.
Honestly deleting social media is amazing. I left all social media almost 3 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I never got into TikTok and I feel like that was a blessing. My self esteem is too low to be on social media. It was the best thing I did for my mental and spiritual health. So if you’re considering it, do it. You won’t regret it❤️❤️❤️
RUclips IS social media...how is that confusing?
@DA not really 😂 because it just. Videos and you comment it not like ig
@@Northstarboysvsp yes, RUclips is a social media platform, one of the largest ones. That's not even debatable.
@spacediinoyea
I hate when people think I’m lying or making it up when I say I no longer have social media.. like how sad is it that people are so accustomed to EVERYONE having it :/
samee, when i say “sorry I don’t have IG” their faces are like this 😲. its crazy that having social media is so normalized to the point that if you don’t have it, you’re the weird one.
I deleted social media around like 3 to 4 months ago due to feeling just overwhelmed and constantly comparing myself to what my friends were doing. Despite having followers and talking to people almost every day I still just felt alone. Fast forward 3 to 4 months I’ve seen a great improvement of my mental health I’ve started picking up old hobbies such as chess again, I’ve never been better ! :)
Good thing, I deleted them because I spent a lot of time. Like 3 hours just on IG
Same reason im deleting it now
l recently deleted mine because of the same reason .l started feeling like l was losing myself to people as l was not paying much attention to myself . its been a week without social media and l have been sooo happy . spending time with myself , paying attention to myself has been very nice . and l regret all the time l wasted doing things for and living for others
Wow thats great .... keep it up
I did this earlier this year and I was literally at my happiest and my mental health was great, but I went out of the country on vacation and I came back just to post stuff, but eventually I got back into the bad loop and I can no longer delete it completely again
As a fellow Gen-Z I agree with all the points you've made. I've been off my socials since 31st July 2020 and it has changed my life so much. It's the best decision I've made in a while
yess! im so happy for you:) I honestly thought I would miss out on so much, but it has honestly made me feel so much better! Wishing you well❤️
@kitycats you do anything you want, drawing, writing, seeing friends, having a project, taking up hobbies, the list is endless 😊
the only thing is that I want to share my art with others and for that I need a social platform but I also do find using social media really tiring. So I am confused what should I do?? lol
@@metishan-9ol656 you can try only using IG on your computer to post stuff. I think the pc version is much less addictive since it is so annoying.
@@daniquevaneijk1863 hahaha same my dm's dont work properly so i give up after 2 tries
The crazy thing with social media, we percept our beauty from our faces, bodys, hair etc. We forget that real beauty actually comes from inside.
that's right
Well said!!
I decided to watch this video right before deleting all of my socials. I've already tackled Facebook and all that's left is instagram. I feel almost insane to want to delete instagram, but that's how it feels when you're getting ridding of an addiction to something. I really loved this video and I can relate on the cons SO heavily. I'm almost 23 and I've had social media since I was 11. Those years that I was supposed to take to get to know myself turned into me constantly stalking super pretty girls on social media and trying hard to be and look just like them because I never felt good enough. Idk if anyone else can relate but I sometimes feel like I barely know who I am. I've been on this journey of growth since 2020, and I still don't know what my best self looks like, but I do know that I can find it if if I remove the unnatural distractions. Thank you for this video and I'm sending love to everyone that is quitting or thinking about quitting! You've got this!
It’s like you’re talking about. Every single detail from the age you started and your age now to how you don’t really know yourself.
I felt supported by everyone else in the comment but the support from this comment hits different 😅 Thank you and I hope you know yourself better and start the change you need :)
i feel like social media was toxic for me, i just finally found it pointless and exhausting seeing other people lives and thoughts. i just kept comparing my life and trying to portray something. it feels good to not lurk and compare anymore
I agree. I got marketed a bunch of racist reels on FB and I felt really sad that nothing changed, and that Meta wasn't doing anything to mitigate this type of content creation.
@@trevorhoneyman7220 in no way do i mean this to brag, but i've been lucky to have a family that can take me on holidays and things like that. but ive never felt the need to post about it because why the hell would anyone care? i don't care about someone elses life, so i can't see why anyone would care about mine yk
@@trevorhoneyman7220 “Social media just needs to die off really” says the one who’s using RUclips
It's so refreshing to see a young person be a critical independent thinker.
no social media or less social media is key for a more peaceful and meaningful life
After reading the comments, this makes me really happy I've never used social media before. My friends have tried to motivate me to get on social media, and I almost wanted to because of peer pressure. I'm so glad I didn't.
Its good for keeping in touch, but it is addicting and you can consume a lot of unnecessary content lol. People who need to reach you can and will do it with ur phone number or seeing you!
So right you’re being monetised and your misery is making someone very wealthy.
You did the right thing. I got it because of the reason you stated and I wish I could go back in time and just ignored those so called friends telling me to get instagram. Those same “friends “ ended up leaving me hanging and I had to cut ‘‘em off and I’m deleting instagram off my phone and going one year without it. Something i should have done years ago
My biggest regret is listening to my friend freshman year of hs and getting insta. Ruined my self esteem and freaked me out to see everyone’s lives IVE never thought about. Deleted it a month in.
Got it back for college, and after 2 months deleted it again 😂. I’m just not interested and you are forced to lose yourself to fit in with the majority
I haven’t deleted all of my social media , but quitting tiktok was such a great decision g and I never regret it
yes fr. scrolling tiktok is very exhausting for me. tiktok's fyp is random (which means I have to see many ppl story, sometimes happy - sad - also depressed) so it drained my energy..
Xoxo girlie,best decision ever
@@nurintanawal6443 I’m so annoyed that insta and yt now has the same system😭 but glad I deleted it anyways I wasn’t getting any work done😑
Join it back again ur usless without
I'm so gald my country banned tiktok otherwise I would be giving it so much of my valuable time. Even though insta has that feature now. I'm glad I limited my use (I don't use it more than an hour) and it feels so good tbh. Another thing I stopped using my phone after waking up..
Gen Z here...I deleted my socials sometime early last year after watching the Social Dilemma (I only use Pinterest for inspo, YT and WhatsApp now. I also have a blog as a creative outlet since I love writing and photography). It was hard at first because I was addicted and I needed the dopamine fixes but eventually my mental health got so much better. I'd highly recommend a sm detox to anyone. I honestly do not see myself getting back on there. Like most things, social media isn't all bad but for me, the negatives of it far outweigh the positives and I'd just rather not. My life has for the most part been peaceful since. I've gotten closer to God and I've gotten to know myself more. I don't feel like I've missed out on anything that's important to me. We tend to forget that SM is a relatively new thing and people were doing just fine without it. Do what you feel is best for you though.
Lovely video❣
Loved your comment 💕
Same here. I've been without social media(except for messenger) a couple of weeks. I'm starting to feel more present, but I'm not gonna lie, it is a bit of a challenge to keep myself from downloading the apps. But then I remind myself that the negative of it outweighs the positive. I'm one of those people who's prone to depression and negative thinking, and using these apps hasn't made me feel any better, so I don't think I'll ever download them again.
ooh do you mind sharing the name of the blog?
Where do you publish your blog if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been wanting to make one
the social dilemma is very impactful and an eye-opener. I've watched it at least twice
Quitting social media in 2022 would be one of the best decisions I've ever made. However, it does not guarantee that toxic culture wil be erased but the best thing to avoid that is by ignoring it.
We are in this movement together as brothers and sisters united. I've quit since last year and I've realized that it's important to not let society control our lives ✊

I have never thought it in that way, great point it makes so much sense !!
@@user-ft7gs9xd5e thanks ! :)
"You lose the people you love because you are looking at your phone." Preach!! :)
I quit social media 6 months ago and had a horrible wake up call when I expressed to a friend how much I had been comparing myself to others online and she said she had been comparing herself to me. It made me realise that all the fabrication and filters, the perfect little world I'd created, was having direct negative consequences not on "randoms", but on people close to me that I love and care for. That was enough to convince me not to go back. Being off it 6 months, I can see how contrived and self obsessed it makes us all. I'm still healing from the social media addiction and compulsion to compare myself, but it's honestly relieving to be able to live my life knowing people who care and want to invest in me will pick up the phone and call, and I'm not feeling constantly watched and monitored. I like that people don't know where I am or what I'm doing - I can live my life.
But the fact I Think the problem Is the comparing mentality, because if someone has this mentality It Will find Always a reason to compare, i Think a mature thing Is to understand that comparing in a negative way to someone else have no sense because we Need to compare only about the Person that we were Yesterday and improve ourself not thinking about what others have.
I hate social media with a passion and deleted it about a 3 weeks ago forever. I have never ever been better. I’m so happy now it’s hilarious. I feel the most in touch with me and what makes me a different person. I’m chasing who I am now and I shouldn’t of had to do that at all. Social media is horrendous and causes all the problems surrounding mental health and your own image issues. People don’t realise the drastic negative impacts it has until you slowly and surely question everything about yourself and your morals and your status in life. Please, quit it now before it’s too late. I’m so proud of myself and I refuse to ever get it again. Never ever again
Amen to this I’m deleting it off my phone for sure and never installing it ever again. I been there too and when I’m not on social media, I’m much more at peace and a lot more happier cause I’m living in the moment and taking it a day at a time. I miss how life use to be before social media came about, especially instagram. It once made me depressed but now I don’t even care for instagram anymore honestly cause it’s nothing but highlight reels of peoples lives and not the real thing. I would not be surprised if social media no longer existed and we go back to the simpler times we had
I only do direct calls, texts and FaceTime ever since I quit social media. If somebody is not comfortable with that, it’s their problem :)
I love that for you and I think that’s honestly the best way to do it!!:))
I wish I could do that but my service is so sucky I’d be horrible to rely on 🙁 once I move I’ll do it!
Exactly 💯! I started doing this too because previously the only way to contact some friends (and receive a quick response from them) was to DM them on IG bc chances are they would be on IG (and 99% of the time, they were!) It worked but I hated doing that and being a slave to DMs just to contact people 🙄 No more!
@@laceyr_8322 They are not your friends if the only way to “contact” them is through social media. Focus on yourself and the real world. You will see things improve.
@@bravo-93 Thank you! Things are already improving 👍
I get a little more hope for humanity when I see a Gen Z coming to these realizations despite not seeing the world before social media. I'm an older millenial (borderline Gen X) and I was an early adopter for all of it and just realizing how toxic it is now, I thought at least I have perspective of a time before. I thought younger generations have no hope of seeing it. So seeing this gives me hope.
Your comment really warmed my heart:') It must have been so crazy to see the turn in people mindsets and lifestyles during that time. I don't think anyone during those days could have ever imagined it to become what it is today, and it is really scary. I'm slowly seeing waves of younger people taking the same path, so I try to stay hopeful as well! Thank you for your perspective, wishing you the best
I’m from gen z, I’m 21, and I saw the world before social media, a lot of us older gen z did, we grew up during the transition but a lot of us remember iPads not existing, going outside, walking around and doing things during commercial breaks. I miss those times.
@@adaeze4873 totally!!! Having a glimpse of the "before" makes it a bit easier to get rid of social media and live that simple, tech-free life that we all crave. I think it's especially difficult to quit social media when you started it very young - it almost becomes a facet of your personality that you have to unlearn and break up from! The overall peace and happiness you achieve by getting through the initial lonely days is SO worth it - and you get so much more time to just actually chill or spend time doing things that make you happy, for YOU (without doing it to share it with others)
@@trevorhoneyman7220 THIS. As a mid-thirties something, I feel this comment fr fr.
not really though..social media began in the mid 2000s (like Facebook, My Space) when half of Gen Z wasn’t even born yet, since that generation goes from 97 to early 2010s.
So unless you have a lot of memories pre-2005 you haven’t know a world without social media. Maybe you’ve known a life without it because you weren’t exposed to it , but it existed.
It wasn’t as ubiquitous as in the 2010s but it was a thing.
I'm from Gen X so it was easy for me to quit. I'm from a time where we existed without it, so it was a easy transition.. It felt natural, like going back home. Best decision ever! My time & energy is now put towards me & my family. 😊
I’m a millennial and I still remembered a time when I still played outside and I had to write down and memorize my friend’s phone numbers so I can contact them. All of this was before social media took over. I’m 31 years old and I finally realized that this whole social media thing isn’t for me anymore. I offered to leave my number to the people who I talk to the most on Facebook, but all of them were being wishy washy about contacting me outside of Facebook. I just said “ok fine very well” and just unfriendly everyone before deactivating my account. I was a little bothered because some of those people I were in contact with for a decade… but it’s good to know that they don’t care because it confirmed the reason why I need to get off of that crap in the first place. I know RUclips is social media but it really isn’t entirely the same. Anyways I’m glad I’m off of Facebook now. I love my privacy.
I always come back to this video every couple of weeks/months because I always have the urge to delete my social media but at the same time there’s also a little part of me that’s always afraid of missing out on something important. Every time I watch this video I kind of feel safe to go ahead and take a break and remind myself that I can come back whenever I’m in a better mindset. I feel very appreciative of this video, and all the content that you put out, Michelle.
do it. you have no idea how much confidence i have without social media
Don’t be afraid. I was too, especially with TikTok. But then I started of by deleting it for 3 days of the week for a couple weeks, then 4, then 5, then I did a detox. And when I came back after over a month, I realised that I just don’t need it and deleted it completely. Now I’m doing the same with Instagram to see how that goes. But honestly, I feel a lot better since I don’t have TikTok anymore
When I deleted all my socials on March 13th of 2021, I felt more in power in what I was doing, I was less distracted and became and even more discipline person.
I am so happy for you!!! I felt the exact same way:))
Life without social media is pure bliss. The pull towards social media as times goes by is harder to delete .. you have to do it cold turkey. I love and value social media free life 😭💕
Yess I agree with you 100%, I havent felt this much peace in years😭!! I wish I was able to cold turkey it, my willpower was too weak but Im glad I was finally able to eventually off it
It made me feel better and more peaceful. Every time my mental health is going bad I take a break from social media for 2-5 days, it helps me focus better, I don't rely on entertainment on social media, I envy anyone or anything less, and I really have the time to prioritize myself. As a people pleaser, I rely on what others think of me, so it doesn't help with my well-being.
Deleted Facebook in 2016, Instagram in 2022, Snapchat in 2022, Twitter in 2023 and WhatsApp today. Now, trying to get rid of this RUclips (this is only remaining rn)
you know that social media has ruined your attention span when you struggle to sit through a 14 minute video and only focus on it :,) - great vid though!! I've deleted all my socials apps except whatsapp, pinterest, & yt and i'm just going to see how it goes
how did it go
I’ve only got discord, RUclips and Pinterest and honestly it was very hard for me to pay attention at first but I’m a lot better now.
@@b.dimitrieski9642 they're still currently deleted but I did download twitter. My phone is just super dead haha, it has been helpful in some moments a little
@@jasminewhitehead1752 that's great :)
Oh I’m sorry but you can’t be biased and say social media has ruined our lives because you didnt delete ALL your social media platforms. If “social media” has ruined your life, why not delete WhatsApp, Pinterest and RUclips? Why are you keeping them?
Yes! This is so good! I deleted my instagram and Facebook this year. I've been six moths without it and I am so excited to be more present in life. I quit alcohol, instagram, Facebook and I am moving into my van this year to travel and work in film and TV.
omg i am so proud and happy for you, i know how hard it is to quit❤️🥰!! & yess! you are literally living my dream, i am obsessed with van living and i hope it all goes well for you:)
Wow so happy for you congratulations!!
@@MichelleGia aw thank you so much Michelle!💜🌻🦋
@@CookWithStephh aw thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
Very wholesome, much needed. My first day not using social media. I’m addicted and it’s so hard, but it will be so worth it.
I quit booze on last year October, I left my narc Ex this year January, I deactivated my Instagram, deleted my twitter, deactivated my Facebook in February. I changed my number and I have less than 10contacts now. Diverted all calls to anyone who might potentially get my number.
I'm only consuming Tiktok, and RUclips as my socials now.
I disappeared from everyone and gave no one a notice.
I'm happy, free and healing.
i got into social media way too young (like in 12-13y) and looking back now as a 21 year old, man i admit that rlly ruined most of my teenage years. i was addicted to social media as a teen, and i relate to you so much about posting every single thing about yourself and seeking validation from others to the point where i don't know who i am anymore. personally for me, instagram was the most toxic app and i'm so glad i got rid of it permanently in 2020. i also met a lot of toxic ppl through social media that rlly ruined my mental health but atleast they don't exist in my life anymore. deleting social media is rlly one of the best things you can do for yourself. it just needs a little courage and once you overcome that part, never look back on it and trust me you will see the difference!^^
I started using it when I was 14 I think. Over years it got worse. I hope to not go back to it again); currently taking a break from it
It's so weird to hear people were using social media at 12 or 13 ...bro I didn't even have a phone...my parents were very strict on that type of stuff
I completely agree on the part that instagram is the most toxic platforms out there. It srsly is. I was 14 when I got on there. I was so excited to create an account, post myself, connect with frnds and stuff like that. I am glad to say, that excitement died off in few months itself bcs of how toxic it was. I started seeing all these perfect ppl on my feed, all these ppl hanging out with their frnds, having their lives together. I started believing that and overtime became really negative abt myself. I soon deleted the app, it's been 2 yrs since then, I've never went back and I am honestly doing so much better now, physically and mentally.
@@C0smicun1vers3 yess it's a process. i started initally with taking small breaks from socials too and slowly i got rid of it completely. hope things work out for you as well! :)
Even I started using social media at a very young age .I’m an introvert most of the time I feel lonely.I don’t talk to anyone on any apps but I keep scrolling spend time watching reels or tweets.twitter was v toxic for me .now I have reduced using it .even insta .but I’m trying to stop using it .I try I fail and again try ,now I have reduced being on social media.I feel like all these years I’ve done nothing in life and I’ve forgotten basic things.feels like I’ve lost connection from real world .i don i it’s very hard for me and I feel dumb also sad for all the times I waste in mindless scrolling and not focusing on building my career .
Removing social media out of your life is like going to old days where we use old phones before without access yet to the internet. I was born in the 90s and life back then was for me, simple and peaceful.
I enjoyed this video. I deleted social media because I realized that people were not truly ginuwine. People were not only stalking me on sm but in person as well. I enjoy my privacy and Im an overall happy person, and I realized that my so called friends and family couldn't stand it but they couldn't delete me either. They don't deserve me. It's time to start living life in privacy, flourishing in privacy. I love it❤
❤❤❤
I think it depends on what you use social media for. I stepped off for about 2 years because I found myself living in fear and comparison. When I got back on (because I felt the lack of connection to my community and work purposes) I cleaned out my followers from 1,080 to 65. I also went from following around 300 to 65 as well. I made it about friends sharing our lives. And using it in this way I have found a lot of joy in it. But I do think it's necessary to take a break, like I did, and reevaluate. After that break, I no longer cared about followers or likes. Just wanted to share pictures with those closest to me.
I love this ❤
I remember when I first told a friend that I was taking a break from Instagram and they told me “you can just have self control and keep it on your phone”. It’s then that I realized social media affected me more than it affected my peers. So I understand you completely!! Stay bold❤️
Trust me, they say that and then keep clicking on the app. Most of us are addicted… notice how quickly they grab the phone when they hear a notification, how scared of being bored without a phone they are, how much socially anxious they are in rl because it’s way easier to talk online.
@@Diana__Simion not necessarily, i have a timer on my apps and i use ig for only 15 mins, and thats cuz i live alone abroad id like to keep it in touch with family and friends.... moderate use of social media is possible
@@yadinoori7372 I'm gussing that she was speaking more generally....there's an exception to every rule, but most of the people telling OP to have "self control" were probably still addicted to social media themselves
Interestingly, more and more people seem to get attentional deficits, sometimes even ADHD from social media use, both children and adults. The only way to prevent this is using it less than one hour a day or quitting it completely. I'm proud of everyoe who manages to keep up with this. Your doing something amazing for your overall health and future ♡
Hi, i agree!!! but i feel like i have to clear our the ADHD part. You can have ADHD symptoms without having ADHD. You can't get ADHD, it's genetic. But i agree with you, people get ADHD symptoms more and more, our attention spams are getting shorter which is super scary. I also think about quitting social media, i think it will help
@@kardelenaydogan3793 Thank you for clarifying it!!
It's an interesting question because indeed, more and more people get diagnosed with ADHD, even later in life, but maybe they don't necessarily have the condition but simply an attentional deficit that is similar. Sorry for being misleading like that
You cannot „get“ adhd wtf
When I was on social media I found it hard to get off, or watch anything that didn't immediately capture my interest and I thought I had ADHD. I actually found out I do, but after quitting social media -- the attention issues weren't as prominent, but still come up in other ways. But, I don't agree with saying you can get ADHD for excessive social media use. There's more to ADHD than that... memory issues, executive function issues, emotional dysregulation. I just wanted to say it took me a long time to accept my ADHD because of the myth that being on social media all the time can cause it and therefore it's not a real disorder. So hyperfocusing on social media content doesn't mean you have ADHD.
ADHD is congenital. It's symptons can be confused with other things that may hinder you.
I thought social media was my safe space but it was actually my biggest enemy.
I've never seen a video of yours before, Michelle, but I really loved this. You're honest, which is refreshing. I hope you're doing okay.
I am glad that this popped up on my feed. I am on a social media break. It’s no coincidence. Its God telling me that there are ppl out here like me. Other socials were easy to quit. Instagram was - toxic cycle for me comparing myself to others.I’m trusting, God in this process n knowing that His love fulfills me more than my self love ever will. I love you all and God loves you too! I am praying for y’all, we got this!
Omg I'm planning to leave social media too and this came in my recommendations
When the actual fuck did I ask
Ok
But when did I ask
God bless 😌🙏🏼
I deleted all of my social media after a breakup and as sad as I still get at times, I feel better knowing that I’m not self sabotaging by checking his activity or location and I’m learning to just be more content with myself. I also have anxiety and I feel myself being more calm without all those apps. I plan on reinstalling eventually because I’m going into college and want to get connected with people, but I don’t think I’ll be addicted like I was before. Deleting social media gives your mind a good cleanse and even though I don’t have complete peace of mind, it definitely helps :)
I've had this video in my watch later for a couple of months now. It's been 2 weeks since i quit social media and even though sometimes i do get really bored, it's so much better than being on apps like Twitter where i felt like i was losing braincells, or instagram where i was comparing myself to other people. You get to appreciate the world around you much more and feel more peace with yourself and it's a breath of fresh air. I love it
ive been a month off socials and it is genuinely changing my life and making me return to someone i never thought i was. one of the best decisions i made this year. the lessons are really well encapsulated too. great video!!!!!
I always debated the positives/negatives of having social media. One big thing I noticed was those who would check up on you without using any apps, just either texting or calling. Also the amount of birthday wishes you get from the people who actually care vs getting a notification so you can remember. From one member of Gen Z to another, thank you for putting this video out👍🏽.
i love the vibes, it feels like you're just completely present and focused
Thank you so much for this Michelle! Love your editing style and the surrounding, so chill and calm~ 🤍
I really needed this thank you. This is encouraging me to delete my socials and instead, experience REAL LIFE. This really puts into perspective the value of “living in the moment” and how sometimes social media takes away from that. I agree that social media is very toxic and can be damaging to ones mental health. I wish to do this, to become more content in the near future
I would say i REALLY need to delete TikTok as it is very addictive
This is so underrated! As a fellow gen-z Getting off social media is the most beneficial and healthiest thing to experience, especially in this generation. I wish more people would realize and understand this, social media has embedded itself under out skin emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually that its affected and changed how we are, how we think, and who we are.
Your video needs to be spread everywhere for everyone!
Proud of you for this! There are people who couldn't do this no matter what but look at you ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I have been on the fence about leaving many of the social apps I use and honestly this video is pushing me toward that. You were so insightful and well spoken. Really enjoyed your perspective!
ive been off social media for about a year or so and it has honestly boosted my self confidence and attention span greatly.
Dang, losing people over not having social media, that’s harsh. Friendship in this time is very interesting. I’m happy that have such lovely friends 💕
Have you quit socials to see what would happen with those friends?
@@jarenfromvenusnon of my so-called friends gave a crap that I left. I left my contact info to the few people on there that I talked to the most. They never cared for my contact info. Well that’s good to know
i didnt think ill finish this video in one time but here we are. your story and ur voice are comforting as i was listen to it while studying. got a lot of new insights and yeah totally relate to most of the thing you've said here. thank u for sharing this beautiful story, i hope u will have a nice day ahead ♡
I have been off social media for 2 years👏🤗 and I agree and relate with everything you've spoken about...Its literally been a BREATHE OF FRESH AIR for me...I'm happier and I'm not looking back. I just wish everyone the best..but I had to let it go...so glad I did!😊...Love the video!❤👏👏!
You can actually deactivate Facebook and just keep the Messenger app. So you can call your grandma without having Facebook.
Omg! I did not know that, thank you, you are a lifesaver
This is what im doing its awesome!
@@MichelleGia hehe 😊🤲🥺
Ohh!! Thank you! That settles it then. Bye fb
@@MichelleGia this is so cute for some reason ahahah i think this is really how it goes when you "are out of the loop" 🤣💕
I left most of social media last year. Now it's been a year that I left most of social media I will say my life has been more productive like I can focus on my life, work, hobbies and working out. I only use Instagram now but don't post much on it. Life without social media is much better.
I agree with you so much😭 I never realized how much more focused on my life I was until I deactivated and once I realized that, I could never go back!! I'm so glad you found what works for you:))
Let's be real,. Nobody "needs" any form of social media. Just because everyone else is on the train doesn't mean u have to be. But it being very addictive doesn't help anyone get off, so when/if you do let sm go...DONT COME BACK....just stay off and your personal life and peace of mind will improve dramatically over time!...I'm 15 months in without Facebook (the only sm I used) and I simply can't imagine coming back
Great video, Michelle! Just the right bit of inspiration I needed. God bless🙏🏽
I really resonated with almost everything you said, you have inspired me to at least reduce my social media use. More power to you!!!
It’s been 626 days since I quit social media. To be honest my life has changed drastically. It’s not that easy to switch off completely from social media and stay self. One needs to be really strong to do so. Solitude is blissful. I’m investing more time in myself, it’s a wonderful feeling.
I think the main reason I use social media is to gain emotional validation rather than physical, I think that it benefited me in the way that I knew that I wasn’t alone in things. Plus it fills my social battery, I’m so anxious in real life that I’ve never been good at talking to people, but just reading comments on posts and texting people makes me feel less alone. I really do want to use it less tho, I’ve wasted so many hours of my life just scrolling..
I rarely comment on any videos, but your video made me realise so many things! That our life is so bland when we spend so much time on social media, that instead of wasting time on it, we can live our life to the fullest and appreciate every moment. And also that we become more confidents when we don't compair ourselves with the idealized portrait of other people. Thank you 💗
This was a amazing watch! 💖
"Comparison is the thief of joy" -Theodore Roosevelt
Good decision. Even social effected my mind alot. I became so lazy.... Just needed my cellphone ani watching others happy life.... And do nothing with my life. So even i stoped using it regularly... So i only use them once in a week or a month. You took a right decision. We need to think about your future too.
thank you Disha:) i was the exact same as you, i was so lazy and sad about myself but i just kept on using social media to distract myself. Im glad you realized the effects it had on you, and you were able to take a break🥰thats not an easy thing to do, and i think you definitely made a great choice:)
I deleted instagram for 8 months, but those 8 months were the best of life. I picked up figure skating, I was more productive in my studies, I became more confident in asking friends to hang out, I was happier, sleeping better, my mental health was good. I redownloaded it after those 8 months during summer holidays (southern hemisphere), and deleted it again a week ago. It was really tough this time, especially because I have an addiction to short-form content (which is why I stayed away from Tiktok, I knew what that would do to me), but I think with some time I'll be ok. Unfortunately for university events, projects and group work I still need my facebook but I can deal with that better if that's all there is I think. Waiting for some good change in my life.
I truly loved this video 💕 Keep up the great work!
seeing you step into yourself as a person is so lovely, I genuinely enjoy your content Michelle
thank you so much girl🥺i cant tell you how thankful i am to have you supporting me
@@MichelleGia 🥺🥰
As a older millenial a 90s kid I grew up without social media but adopted it later on in my life, I have to say I'm impressed, what I realized the most is how different people I knew in real life where on social media. It was sort of shocking because these are people I've known people my whole life, and it's weird. It can feel out of the loop.
Same
i think you might be my new comfort creator. i just looked at a lot of your content and i feel very welcomed in a sense. keep on doing what you’re doing! :)
This was so refreshing to watch… I feel The exact same way you do! It made me feel so much better!
There is a certain calmness in your voice that shows how content you are right now. Thankyou for sharing this video. This has helped me tremendously!
I’m so glad it helped❤️I really appreciate your words, thank you!
i really needed this.Thank you
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience! I quit social media 8 months ago and I can’t imagine going back. Just like you, I have grown so much more confident and I also feel a lot lighter. I don’t feel the pressure to be up to date 24/7 on my friends’ lives. And most importantly, I don’t feel like I have to post everything I do or how I look to fit in or to impress people. 8 months ago, I couldn’t have imagined living without instagram or TikTok but it was a great decision for me.
I'm currently off my socials right now and it honestly makes me happier.
I can't delete RUclips because I use it to study
love this for you❤️ and same😭
yeah same i only have youtube
Bruh how y'all live without sm for months, whenever I do sm detox I end up downloading those apps again after 2-3 weeks even though I deactivated my accs
@sailor b yeah thanks for your comment tho, I'm on 27th day of detox lol:)
@sailor b thank you bro, same to you☺️🙏
Thankful to be here & to see how I relate to sooo many other individuals.
The way you encourage no one else to delete social media but saying the sides of it is SO PRECIOUS.thank you so much for telling us all the things you faced 💗love u💗
I just deleted instagram and I now have no social media. I posted a goodbye thing and my phone number on my close friends story, but I feel like I shouldn't have, because I have nobody texting me after that and I'm expecting people to! It's only adding to the weirdness that I feel right now, though its only a few hours of not having social media. Your video is really helping me and telling me I'll eventually get used to this new lifestyle away from toxicity!!!
Awe don't worry love
I absolutely agree with you! As I deleted my social media such as Snapchat, I felt so much lighter nowadays.
The first sentence literally gave me LIFE lmao, mood forever. Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing your experience, comforted me a lot knowing that there's people who have these realisations! :)❤
One thing that anyone trying to quit social media is to remember that it’s fine if u take it slow, u don’t have to go completely cold turkey, take your time start with one app don’t rush/ force it.
Needed this! Just deactivated my insta account a few days back. Also i have a quick question, i'll be joining uni soon and i have fomo because of this. Like what if i have no friends like idk how do i put it.
@@anonymous.7363 when I first quit instagram it was in the beginning of my 12th grade so i sorta just told people i need to do exam prep hence im not using it, and yes the fomo is real when i used to see my friends talk about something i would hv no idea of but believe me it all dies down, if u have good friends they'll fill u up, when i started uni i reactivated my acc for the first month but i hardly used it and when i settled into my routine and found some nice friends i again deleted it, the thing is in the end of the day when u come back home at 3am after doing somein scandalous and ridiculous, the full college experience, u overcome the urge to want people to know and sort of thrive in the mystery, maybe its my obsession with the 70s and pre digital era but i do enjoy when people widen their eyes when i tell them i dont use any social media, also like its MUCH LESS STRESS, i remember i used to get so sad in highschool when i used to see some kids hanging out knowing i wasnt invited and i would just sit and stare at their stories, i dont do that now i live my life in my own pace and im happy,
long read but i hope it helps :D
That’s what makes people fall back into it , going cold turkey . It’s over time that we develop said addictions , so it will take time to break them as well . Pace yourself and step realistic goals , I had to learn that for myself I would set these high expectations and get upset with myself for not meeting them . That was only because I was expecting too much too soon , I just deleted Facebook today I’ll work on Tik tok next those are the two I feel I struggle with the most .
i deleted everything a week ago and tbh now i feel much more motivated tu study and do my homework and i feel much less stressed tbh it’s only been pros for now
It’s been almost a year for me and it works wonders. Your just more focused. Hard part for me was seeing who really reaches out to you including family but also knowing everyone is still connected but me. Makes you feel “ left out” but best decision ever made.
Keep up the work! Glad it’s working out for you!
