Hey!!!😊 If you’re looking for extra guidance and support when it comes to all things social media, I have a bunch of resources linked in the description box!
I left for slightly different reasons. As a RUclipsr. I often posted when a new channel, or videos would take off to people I once knew. But, when the channels wouldn’t be doing as good, I would be reluctant to upload. I no longer had a safe space to fail (in my mind). I also travel and dress nice, and people get an image of me appearing rich. So I found it dreadful to go work and see somebody from the app irl. Not because I was trying to look rich, but because I felt the weight of the gigantic expectations people created from seeing my pictures, expectations I could never fill. Feels much better going under the radar, great video!
It's been a week a deactivated my insta account, and it's been pretty good so far... it looks like I have so much more time and focus to do what really matters in my life! I loved your content btw! Keep it up!! ☺
As a content creator for the last 2 ish years I totally agree! Instagram has always been my least favourite platform. It’s addictive but draining and never leaves me feeling good about myself. Plus as a creator, you have all the ‘normal’ struggles of using social media as well as the struggles of tying your performance to the numbers. I prefer RUclips a lot more because you’re more memorable to viewers and more likely to have impact. A reel might get 100k but not leave the lasting impression that a RUclips video with 1k has. Great vide, new sub
Thats inspiring, I too had deleted socials after your previous old video. Lately you logged in and again deleted which was my exact situation in last few days. I too deleted it recently to focus on upcoming exams. Keep creating such good content :)
Thank you for these kind of content I'm actually learning English your accent is great very easy to understand and the same time I'm learning about the context. Wish you more subscriber's 😊
I've been considering deleting Instagram. Too many hateful people and trolls on there. I can't delete my Facebook though because most of my friends/sober support is on there and as somebody who is disabled and spends the majority of their time at home and needs some sort of connection to people, that's what I use Facebook for but I find myself stressed out when using Instagram. Makes my blood pressure go up and I have high blood pressure problems and I'm trying to keep it down. Great video! Just subscribed!
I apprecciate your videos on this topic a lot. My dream was always to be a fashion content creator and it's difficult to let it go. I never liked the part on social media of being fake and commenting on peoples' stuff just for sth in return. It's a sad industry.
Hey Angelica 🙏 I definitely feel like you can become a full-time fashion content creator while still approaching social media in a healthy way! If you provide value, post selflessly, (without expecting anything in return), and create passive income streams you can 100% make your dream a reality ✨
Good for you, I hope it works!! This was great information for me as an older Millennial to understand what goes on behind the scenes of influencing. Also, don't feel bad if you relapse. These companies spend billions of dollars to hire people to keep us addicted!
I laughed when you said you created two Instagram accounts. I created two Facebook accounts. I had one from 2007 (maybe 2008)-2023 (january), deleted it. Created another one in may/June 2023, deleted that one january 2024. Kudos 👏 girl. Social media is all the same. You've got this.

My favorite part about deleting instagram was telling people that I don’t use instagram, lowering my screen time was only a plus 🤓

Yes!!! 🙌🙏 I totally agree with everything you said!! RUclips is THE platform to build a community and have a long-lasting impression on people!

Wow!! What a similar timeline 🙏 I’m wishing you the best of luck on your exams!!
Social media is our modern equivalent of Plato's cave (from his famous allegory of the cave, book 7 of the Republic).

Instagram makes me so depressed

I deleted Insta, FB and Twitter for many similar reasons. I was anxious about regretting it later. 8 months later I don’t miss a thing. Best wishes. 😊
Wow 8 months!!! That’s incredible 🙏😃

I could relate to most of what you said. My problem was with Facebook. I deleted it 3 months ago and it's been epic! I don' miss a thing.
I’m so happy to hear you took that first and really hard step 😻 continue enjoying the offline life ☀️😁

I’m happy you found value in this video 😁🙏 so far, I haven’t relapsed!!
If you’ve quit instagram but still spending time making content on RUclips or hooked on watching RUclips , your not getting it still….
I haven´t thought that for long time. I have to start put thumb up to content i want more.
You weren´t useless. Thanx.
❤❤ deleted mine years ago. No better feeling
Im so happy to hear that 🥹🙏
@@cassandraxpaz me too.. I'm happy you replied to me 💯
Were just here to look at the pretty girls and music videos
Just keep Instagram on your laptop and schedule the posts and don’t keep on instagram on your phone lol
great but what is your crutch now there is another addiction you are using to fill in what instagram satisfied
Writing, crocheting, and going to the gym has replaced that habit 👍 video on that coming out soon!!
Deleted it in October and my life is just more peaceful. I never liked being in the loop
Amazing. I left Instagram just under 2 years ago now. Never been happier.
I’m glad to hear it, I got kind of worried with that video of you saying you got back to Instagram 😅
😅yeah… that didn’t last long
WOW! This videa has opened my eyes. Thank u so much. I genuinely wish u the best in life.
Awww 🥲 thank you so much! I’m so happy it resonated with you!!
You're very beautiful.

Wow! I knew I wasn’t the only one 😅 yes, the effects of social media catch up to you no matter how you go about it.
@@cassandraxpazgood luck with your book. I wish I would have never been on any social media platform at all.
I'm psyched about your newly found freedom...
Create contacts not content
I have to consider that deleting !
