      I completely understand where you’re coming from and it’s scary because social media outlets have become “high school” all over again. We take every measure possible to make sure we show ourselves in the best light, but so much of what we get on it is superficial. Face to face communication and true human interaction is dwindling by the day.

    I quit social media about a month ago...realized how alone I truly am. But guess what. It was 100% worth it. I became WAY more productive. Started doing things that I didn’t think I’d ever do. My mind just became more focused on my goals. My confidence BOOSTED in a matter of days. And it just gets better and better as the days go by. I started to see things more clearly and my personality became more vibrant in a way. Social media is millions of people living a fake life. And without it, I was TRULY myself.

    I was suffering from depressions anxiety due to bullying. On social media, I would see my bullies living happily after what they’ve done to me. I would see the political shit happening and get frustrated. I would see the riots that angered me. I would see people who I compared myself to. I could never detach myself from my electronic since I was always waiting for a text. I decided to delete all social media, and went back once. Then deleted and made sure not to go back to it again. I didn’t need social media. I was able to detach myself and find my inner peace. Of course there are many problems I still go through, but I’m getting rid of them one at a time. My stress levels are lower, and I have more time to do stuff. Setting my priorities straight allowed me to grow as an individual. I hope it can do the same for you too!

    The moment I deleted my facebook account, I suddenly became invisible and started living a mysterious secret life...no one knew where I was or what adventure I was on. My relationships seem more genuine now. When I got engaged I got to tell all my friends in person. I get to experience life more. While all my friends are trying to capture the moment to post on social media, I get to enjoy the moment instead. I don't know how to explain it, but my moments suddenly became more authentic....they belonged to me.

    I quit social media for a few months now and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. When I had it, I always felt there was a fog in my mind and it prevented me from thinking clearly. I also felt like the days were shorter and I got bored easily when off my phone. Also, my attention span was garbage because of social media. Now, I feel like I can really focus and get things done. And overall, I just FEEL better. There’s no way I’m going back. Do yourself a favor and live in the moment, don’t live to capture one for likes. You’ll enjoy life more that way. At least, that’s been my experience with it.

    I quit social media a little over two years ago. It was so difficult at first and I felt left out. However, the relationships I had grew stronger because friends/family would share pictures of their family/kids with me directly. I had to he intentional with my friends/family and they learned to be more intentional with me. There is no pressure from the outside world anymore. This is the greatest decision I’ve ever made and I encourage everyone to give it a try!

    I'm 13 and had a bad intention going into no social media. My thoughts were " I'll leave social media for a few months and in those few months I'll lose weight and glowup. Then when I post again I'll shock everyone." Now without social media I realize I had a toxic mindset and my intentions were bad. Now my goal is to improve myself and have a better mindset without social media.

      Social media does connect people, yet does the complete opposite, as well. In just one minute, thanks to social media, we can find someone that we would have otherwise probably never found. Whether it be someone we want to reconnect with, or someone whom we've never met and met through whatever app/site, but because of distance we probably would have never crossed paths with. You've got to appreciate that aspect of social media, where clearly it's brought people together and even created beautiful relationships. But like anything else in this world, it can be toxic if we use it too much. Moderation is key with anything. Don't spend too much time behind a screen, remember you are a human being who needs to, physically, interact with other human beings and not just text or make a phone call. 💓

      Its called being self aware and disciplined. also if you have a tough time getting started, make two short lists.
      The first list is what it would be like if you did what you are meant to do aka all the great things that would come out of it.
      The second list is what it would be like if you DIDN'T do what you were meant to do and what would it be like aka all the bad things (feeling like shit, unaccomplished, missing deadlines, failing, being homeless - if you go down the rabbit hole deep enough)
      This works most of the time as it really helps me put things into perspective

I want to spend the rest of my time with my friends and family that should matter the most that are within your grasp in real time not people who are thousands of miles away. I find it pointless to have to tell social media everything and every move i make. I feel people need so much approval or sympathy. You become part of people problems that they post, a part of their burdens. I started finding myself glued to my screen, litterallly an addiction and i started comparing myself to others. Social media is terrible for mental health! People that dont see any issue in it just havent awoken yet!!
    Ive had enough!! I want my life back! We were not born to scroll our lives away.

    I’ve been off of social media for 60 days and I feel pretty content. I’m not comparing other people’s achievements to mine. I still often think about where I want to be in the next 5-10 years but I think that comes with being in your 20’s.
    Social media will always leave you with the feeling of “not being good enough”, “getting to this point in my life and I’ll be happy” when really life and time is passing you. By the time you realize what’s most important it’ll be too late.
    Break the habit now.
    I believe in you.

But I could say that when I was subscribed to Facebook and Instagram I was sad all the time because of all the perfect lifestyle you see in those platforms. Now with RUclips it’s totally different, I watch science, self improvement, health, books and a lot of interesting channels not just people with their “perfect life”. And of course I am not a native English speaker, so I use RUclips to practice my skills, so double gain.

I usually use social media 2 hours a day for fun but as the time pass I`m feeling that I want to be more time on it. So according to your experience I have to control my time when using social media or better stop using it and use my time in meaningful activities. I know that at the beginning the backlash might be terrible because I have gotten accustomed to it but I know I could do it. It is a challenged for me.

    This video really hit home for me. Thanks to my English course, I've been thinking a lot about the benefits of stepping away from social media, and your experience truly resonated with me. It's incredible how much time we spend on our phones, scrolling through social media platforms. Your social experiment of quitting social media for 30 days was inspiring. I completely agree that social media can be a major time killer and distractor from our priorities. Just now, I lost 2 hours watching videos on TikTok.
    Your journey made me question the necessity of social media for people. Sometimes, we are so focused on our online world that we forget we are living in reality. Social media can make us feel obsessed and constantly terrified that we will be forgotten by the world if we stop using social networks. However, your video was interesting to see because even without actively using social media, your RUclips channel experienced exponential growth. It's a reminder that the world continues to move on with or without us.
    Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences. It's motivating to see that taking a break from social media can have such positive outcomes. I'm inspired to take a step back and reevaluate my own relationship with these platforms

But stepping away from the constant noise, comparison, and validation-seeking, I found a profound sense of peace and clarity. These my life is filled with genuine connections, meaningful experiences, and uninterrupted focus on personal growth. If you're contemplating a social media detox, I highly encourage you to give it a try. You might be surprised by the positive impact it can have on your life. Trust me, the freedom is life changing.
