I agree with that. Three years ago, when I didn't have any social media accounts, I was quite an elated and cheery person, and studying was not really a burden for me. But now, I am no longer that person, and I think I have wasted all my potential, with social media and smartphones being the primary reasons. However, I will find the old me within myself and will struggle to get out of this loop step by step. Even in the darkest moments, every step forward is a victory, no matter how small. 🙂

Studying was not an issue for me before. Partly because school was a lot easier back in year 8 but now I’m going to my GCSE year and I haven’t properly studied for exams in 2 years. I need to lock in to get maximum amount of 9s
@@edgeribble Bro, You still have a chance. You can still turn the game around if you try with the right intentions. Focus on your goals and dedicate yourself wholeheartedly. Best of Luck for your exams 🙃✨
3 years back, studying was never a burden for me, its an enjoyment for me(i used to skip some games period too for studying, its fun) now i am here, struggling to read a single page with constant concentration :)
@@mshklh2099wth has that got to do with anything? You jumping to conclusions lol when the answer is in this video of social media short form content killing students attention spans
Difference between studying for 4 hours straight and being on your phone for 4 hours straight is absolutely insane. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck when I do the latter. If I game for 8 hours, I feel less awful than if I stare at instagram for 2 hours. I think social media is truly destroying peoples brains. I’m happy to be stepping away from most of it. I use RUclips for informative material, that’ll be all I consume for a long, long time
I can sit 10h on my phone no problem but studying even half an hour kills me. Wasn't much different when I was a kid tho and there were no phones or other digital stuff.
@@kingdragonthefirst4686 Video games and building PC’s are my hobby. It’s where I socialise with my oldest friends and have the most fun. Not a chance I’m only doing that for an hour. There’s also nothing that’s proven video games to be bad for you.
@@danielkelsosmith your telling me playing video games for as long as a shift at a 9-5 job doesn’t affect you? It’s definitely not healthy staring at a screen for that long, it fucks up your posture, and is not the same as socializing in real life.
This is so real. Most of the time when you want to make real memories the people you're hanging out with just fuss over which photos will be posted to Instagram. Frankly, I don't want to be around people like that but don't know how to find people who just live
My mom saved me from brainrot, now I have an proper gadget schedule, from now on. When my mom comes back from work I'm not allowed to use any gadgets but until after I shower, but still I get to only watch Television, thank you Mom. Your the best in my life. ❤
Gen z faces a real challenge of brain rot in this era. I'm having a semester exam in less than three weeks and I'm trying to catch up with my studies I left behind. Because of mindless scrolling through RUclips shorts and reading manwha, I feel so guilty for not stopping myself sooner. But this video really helps me out, I'm happy for the RUclips algorithm to make this video appear in my homepage 💌 Love from Malaysia
i always study 2 days before exam idk why but im just too unmotivated whenever i want to do something productive my mind just kills me and make me thinks something to become unmotivated i tried working out but after a month i stopped i tried doing productive routine i stopped again after month like this video right here i stopped everything unproductive and again my mind makes me think that does it matter anyway?😊
Reading manhwa is what got me. The most irritating thing for me is the fact that I can spend hours on end reading them even to the point of getting headaches but still continuing. It's so unhealthy but I still do it anyway...
At least you’re motivated. My problem is that the real world is just so depressing that I don’t really have a choice but to distract myself by scrolling.
I started practicing mindfulness to fight with mindless scrolling, for example when I'm eating, I focus only on the process of eating, I don't scroll on Instagram while eating. one task at a time. I've felt more connected with myself and with the world since I've started practicing mindfulness , definitely recommend it
I always eat breakfast and other meals with no phone or at max some music in my ears which actually is radio. I also always concentrate on the taste and quality of the food cause thats how i grew up and i am grateful for that. School has banned phones but i also feel gratefull although also its much different cause i cant look at my day and the lessons and everything is ofcourse digital so switching to analog is kind of bard but its doable
I'm suffering from intense imposter syndrome after getting admitted to a top university despite dragging through high school. I've been rotting away on my phone this entire summer, worrying about the next four years that lay before me. This is THE wake up call I needed to hear and I truly appreciate it.
it won't be easy take that for granted, fails will come along your journey. you may want to quit, probably even several times. but if you keep consistent and learn how to surpass the difficulties, i can assure you you’ll do it succesfully. plus, if you were admitted then you are capable to do so (and you won’t be alone!)
I'm in 10th grade and I had an exam coming up for which we were given 4 whole damn days to prepare but guess what I did? I wasted all those 4 days in scrolling or just binge watching NETFLIX when I was in the examination hall I wanted to kms but atleast I had a reality check from it, it's just the starting of the academic year so rather than scrolling in my free time I would go for jogging w my classmates. Tysm Growth Lane for uploading this I really needed this. U earned a new subscriber
Class 10th is not that difficult. But you should be concentrating on ur studies more. Trust me, the regret that you didn't study earlier is just too much. I have a frnd who couldn't even get admission in our school due to her low marks so she had to change schools. Pls make sure you don't get into the same situation. Netflix isn't worth all this.
yeah insta netflix takes your time, but remember even if you realize how things go wrong, there will a high chance that you will again start watching that, so pls make sure to avoid phone. have a nice futue...
Speechless. There's literally nothing to comment about this video. It's good as it is; things have spoken for themselves throughout this video. All I can do is share and express how good this video made me. Exceptional!
Social media has a lot of information, and it's too much. As someone who loves to learn everything, i love social media but it made me have short attention span and FOMO. I didn't take care of myself anymore bcs I spent my time on social media, everytime I see myself on mirror, I feel bummed out so much
I go back in one day for my sophomore year, and I really need to click this in my head. I deactivated all my social media accounts this summer. I feel like I wasted my first year. I was so excited, and I ruined a good relationship. I'm just trying to pick myself up and do better in relationships and school. This is it.
my three rules for healing brain rot : 1. use pen and paper as your primary tools, computers as secondary 2. have longer seatings (1hr+) 3. nofap until you get the results
You described my whole schedule in video, Once I was topper but after this social media addiction i become a looser . I am getting very low marks but now i am fighting this addiction . My half yearly exams are arriving next month and I want to get my status back . After watching your video I am feeling very motivated.
real, i was viligant enough to realise this change in my routine and thank God i took a strong action on time. i deleted my instagram account, i ain't on whatsapp or any other social media apps (i'm still a student and i communicate by my mum's phone). trust me, life's much better now and i'm constantly improving my ability to focus every day by studying without even the slightest distraction.
@@shayanshetty9556 for me videogames kill my desire to do anything. I start thinking about playing that videogame for the rest of the day. It's crazy. If you play a videogame that fills a hole in your heart, such as social connections through mmos, it will very quickly become an addiction. Be careful.
One of the main reasons I turned off the notifications of these social media apps when I started studying for entrance exams is brain rot. It's slow but I'm starting to regain the focus I used to have. The attention span I have is increasing. It takes your own will too, if you want to overcome this brain rot
This channel deserves far more recognition. While I’ve been contemplating expanding my presence on social media, I’m truly relieved that I’m not involved with platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat. There’s a certain satisfaction in avoiding them. Recently, though, I’ve started watching RUclips Shorts, and it’s troubling to witness how such mind-numbing content is impacting today’s youth, especially considering I’m only 17 myself.
15 year old here, I too have been going to RUclips Shorts recently, but in a few day I noticed I've been have problems with pronouncing words and having a hard time looking for a specific word. If anyone is reading don't watch Shorts it's bad for your mental health by giving you too much dopamine thus turning your brain to mush in one way or another. Anyway have a wonderful day guys, stay safe everyone.
@@GITAisBASED I'm aware I'm a child, also I don't have friends because my parents don't allow me to leave our property (I'm homeschooled) and as I have said I'm not on any social platforms, people could easily lie there and mostly everyone does not show their true everyday colors. Anyway take care stranger, I hope you have a nice day and may God bless you ❤️, thanks for reading.
This video helped me realize how much a problem scrolling on social media is, not i am even more determined to focus and stay away from scrolling on the internet as much as possible thank you
This video perfectly sums up my day... I know the Impact, I take action.... But this scenario replays itself everyday. I feel lack of discipline and need of cheap dopamine is the root cause of this. Working on this will hopefully make me a better person. Thank you for reminding me how much time I waste in a day, And how much time I can utilize to improve my self.
Try meditation. You can see results in just a few days. Delete social media apps Create a new youtube account, and only watch videos that are beneficial to you. The youtube suggestions will be full of good videos instead of the shitty ones.
Don’t be too hard on yourself though- the entire point of these billion dollar industries is to figure out how to keep you hooked on them as much as possible. It isn’t because of a lack of self restraint- it’s literally designed to do this to you. It’s a failure of a system
You went through all of this chaos straight to the point like a guided arrow, cutting through every obstacle with precision. Everyone has been waiting for someone with courage like you to speak up like this. I really appreciate this man I'll change my life from now on!
To be honest, my social media activities are under control. The main problem is this screen. Being connected to it for so long makes everything else feel useless and vague. Even though I feel most alive when I have my coffee, journal, and music with me, those kinds of free activities only last for 1-2 hours before I'm back to my screen (for my lectures and RUclips sometimes). When I'm listening to "Blonde" and staring at the ceiling, I realize life is more than just my screen, but I don't know what else to do. I have no friends in real life or on social media .... So in the end it's back to my screen
You're right. It is a digital era. I would love to hang out with people I love but all of them live atleast 20 kms away (and that's the lowest, some not even in city). I love to connect with them and it is through calls and chats. If not that, I'm either studying and working, guess what, on my laptop. I couldn't get most of these offline or I would. Books are super expensive compared to my courses. And after I'm done with my productive part with screen, I turn for my enjoyment to screen again. Different devices but still screen. Deleted all socials except whatsapp and telegram and I'm tryna connect more with myself but screen is an inevitable enemy. Just wanted to rant about my frustration. If you read completely, sorry & thanks!
i’ve noticed after deleting most of my social media i was able to read and concentrate more now. i’ve deleted youtube for a short period then got it back and im just not fond on youtube shorts anymore, which helps me a lot
I have experienced something even more scary, I don't know was that depression or not,but I couldn't focus on studies, whenever I tried to study offline there was a slight pain in brain,it felt heavy,I tried hard but failed after 2 years now I am recovering at a good pace now
Yeah if your sturting something completly or almost new its always like this. My brain was tingling almost every day in first 2 - 4 months when i was learning english cuz ive really been studying very hard. But without hard learning you cant achieve fast results. This pain is worth of results. But its only for the start. Second and third will be easier.
For some reason, so resonate with this video a lot, says a lot of what I do and what’s destroying my brain. Thank you Growth Lane, for making this video. It helped me realize how much of a dummy I really am.
I have my chem exam tomorrow and I wasted my whole day by scrolling through insta. I can't focus on anything no matter how determined I am, it's so scary how rotten my brain became
Did you get scolded by your parents? Parents were always right, it's these damn gadgets. Not even that, nowadays kids don't use them right most of the time. Braindead, brainrot...
(I'm sorry if its too long i just had to say to somebody about my situation) Hey guys as a currently disabled guy I'm no longer able to strike up to any real world hangouts or anything that my friends do so I just spent most of my free time on my social media cause i can't even sit in a chair cause of the tiredness that I have to suffer after a Full day school paired up with a 1 hour physiotherapy excercise & I'm still in highschool whilst most of my old friends are half way through there college & Travelling around the country,I feel like being not able to much rather than just study,excrecise & Hope for a better future for me as a Cancer survivors whilst my body is constantly deviating towards a Life threatening surgery that i eventually has to do Although everything may seem a bit too dark in my life I am blessed with a loving family & some down to earth friends that really help me with overcome mooost of my things . I hope everything is happening for the better
Could anyone suggest me anything to do, cause besides Watching anime , Reading manga & Doomless scrolling on my phone I don't do anything else these days I'm pretty much bored of it cause it's been like for multiple years ⊙.☉
Switch off all media devices and try sitting in silence ,start slow then increase the time . Try spending time at the library or at the beach or park just sitting or doing nothing the goal is to get used to being with yourself for a while then later you can start doing activities to fill time .start writing more and instead of consuming content create
delete your social media accounts, maybe start watching series which might be more educational to you. try reading self improvement books. dont ever compare yourself with others. everyone has their own time for everything. one might be a millionaire in his 20s and broke in his 50s while another might have been broke by 20 and a millionaire by 50. hope you have a really well recovery and will be back to your best soon !!! god bless you.
Hey, i love this guy! because he has a better understanding and its easier to listen to someone that truly understands. our parents have no idea what brain rot is fr because they be like: "you dont listen do you?" its because you dont understand and have no idea whats actually the problem. i actually blamed this on adhd (i thought my attention span was low because of adhd) but this helps fr. ❤
I've been struggling with a cycle of alternating between being highly productive and then falling into periods of binge-watching or mindless media consumption. For instance, last week I stayed on track and didn't waste any time, but in the past 24 hours, I've spent over 19 hours watching movies and short films. Despite wanting to stop several times, I just couldn't pull myself away. This pattern has happened multiple times, where I stay focused for 3-7 days and then slip back into excessive screen time. I'm really concerned about why this keeps happening and how I can better manage it.
You need to analyze what productivity for you is. If you just trying to do something without any goals. its really not worth of it. Try to do something with real purpose
When I was younger, I used to find the idea of phone addiction hard to believe. It seemed almost unreal. But today, I took a step towards change and deleted all my social media apps
Remember guys the whole practice of cleaning your brain and starting to focus on productive things. It will take a lot of time and patience. So Don't lose hope if you see that even after not using your phone, You're not Doing well. Take your time as much as you want.. Keeping yourselfe busy in things that you can pass by not doing it.. Believe it will be the turning point of your life.. Phone addiction is like cancer to teenagers who are most likely students Edit: please consider English is my second language.
This what i felt during pandemic. Just scrolling in fb or twitter to see something interesting but over the time i cant focus much on studies. Even still this day i still have the effects on it but i try to limit myself on social media. Great video btw.
I love how my addictive personality can be such a double edged sword. I’ve struggled with porn addiction, substance addiction, scrolling and such. But when it comes to studying and when I get into the groove I literally become addicted to it as well. When I’m locked in I AM LOCKED IN. My phone isn’t even able to distract me.
Just thinking that I spend the whole day WITHOUT going outside, doing sports, hearing or seeing friends, or just chill but rather spending time on playing solo video games, or on RUclips watching Shorts and sometimes long-form videos. My attention span got significantly worse over time, my eyesight is, too. I started this video in 2 times speed while rushing through the comment section. I didn't even think through what was being said, neither in the video nor in the comment section. It's been a long time since I've read a book by my own. I remember reading it with my brain, emphasizing with the characters, and trying to find meaning behind the language used. Now, I'm just reading with my eyes, letters after letters, texts after texts, etc. Everything I hear and read appears so fake to me. As if no real person is behind it. 1:05 "You glance at the clock and realize an hour has gone by." I took a quick look, past 8PM, noticed the sun setting down. >>Hm, Another day is over
Just randomly i came to this video now i am going to scroll through your channel a little bit. I didn't comment on any videos but now i have to do so. Really thanks a lot i will definately try to avoid instagram as much as i can . Thank you once again ❤
There are people who get depressed and they tell about it on social media instead of telling people irl and getting physical help from others. No one will help you if you tell your depression in some random youtube comments. 5:06 Is a very valuable quote.
... I relate to the part where hours go by and I havent even done anything productive. Not even edit my videos, or check messages. I just genuinely cannot accept my life. I started by being just aware and trying to be conscious of what I do every waking moment, it was very tough at first but then gradually i got the hang of it and watched as if I was watching someone else's life. I felt the need to detach myself, from myself. I have the tendency to distract or escape reality if I get bored, or become lazy. Every. Thing. In this video hits, and I will treasure this video. It helps when there are fewer words on screen, and as they flash by, I notice underlying meanings and thoughtful messages behind every word. Maybe thats just me being naturally introspective, but I really like the editing style. It makes me feel like someone is genuinely trying to talk through the screen.
I totally agree... I'm a drop out student next year I wi appear in some competitive exams with the hope that I'll clear one of them... But I do nothing to make that happen. I can't even study for straight 2 hours cuz of my distractions. I'm too tired of myself. I just keep lying to myself that everything will be alright with time but deep down I know that's not gonna happen if I continued with this pace.... I wish that soon I'll be able to increase my study time 🌸 and thankyou for your video... It gave me alot of courage and I'll try my best from now on 🌸THANKYOU
The same shit is happening to me too....... I'm far behind from class because of my laziness and lack of attention span like I can hardly sit for 1 hour or so. I tried deleting Instagram but I downloaded it again every time 😮💨
Great video, dude. Ik most of us will want to say brain rot doesn't exist but it does and it's affecting alot of us. Most people just don't wanna admit.
In today's world people make friendships with their technology, not people. No one talks to one another. Walk into a restaurant or take the subway and everyone is looking at a small screen. These same people go home and look at an even larger screen, their computer, and end their day with an even larger screen, their television. Growing up in the sixties, coffee houses were the best places to meet people. Coffee and a good conversation - there was nothing like it. And I loved the poetry slams.
Absolutely, your words resonate deeply. It’s all too easy to become complacent and overlook the opportunities that lie before us. Sometimes, we get caught up in the routine of our lives, forgetting to nurture our own growth and well-being. But recognizing this is the first step toward positive change. Let’s strive to embrace discipline, seize those hidden opportunities, and cultivate a life that brings fulfillment to ourselves and those around us. 🌟
This video is a lifesaver because each time I'm on my phone or my PC I tend to get distracted easily even when I put my phone on Do Not Disturb I still get this temptation to do it Also, this brain rot had seriously affected me negatively at school because before I used to be good at subjects, and very social in class but after it affected me I became less social, and not very good at performing subjects. I would sleep very late because of this. but the only way I overcome this brain rot was that I just have to put off my phone away, meditate and focus
Lol, it's tuesday 10th of Sept and next friday i have an exam, I've studied a little bit, but not enough, so... great timing from yt recommendations, thanks and specially to "Growth Lane" and, well, I am going to study and then go to sleep. Hope everyone can focus on their priorities, I believe you are capable of it, don't surrender and keep trying, you'll get it. Be well :).
You guys just aren't watching peak brainrot, I could never imagine watching low quality brainrot, I myself am I person of refined taste. edit: idk how this silly joke got this many likes, ty though I appreciate it 😄👍
Thank you for this video. I didn't think this fully related to me, but the more I watched the more I resonated with it. I also appreciate the visuals. Keep it up 👌
This video is sort of a starting point on detaching from heavy social media usage. The information feels basic but the delivery is pretty solid. Personally not a fan of the old anime and vhs recorder style animations, but I think this is a good example of what to do with it.
I used to be addicted to social media but now, some reason, I'm addicted to educational RUclips videos. Is this good or bad? (I only spend around an hour watching these per day because I'm always busy)
@@gamerdam3024 lol, I've been watching youtube for years, but now, I've moved on the more useful videos. Like self-improvement, videos about reality, nostalgia videos, music, and hobby educational videos
It’s good that you’re talking about this, while making a video format that these people are geared towards: a rapidly changing picture and short subtitles on the screen
I've had so much brain rotting in the past 10 years and corona made it worse . im literally 18 and ive come to the point that i feel nothing from the internet no laugh no smiles just emptiness and my brain is just keeps rejecting the entire internet and i still watch it even though i hate to do it. And im just doing it for that little kick of dopamin, but no its empty. So imma quite this hell hole and not gonna watch any mind numbing shit for 1 month as a challenge
I feel very much motivated throughout the day when im. At school, studying or even durinv sleepy afternoons but the moment i open Instagram or any other social...idk how it goes down the drain...i tried deleting all of them and switching just to games and reddit and it has worked a bit...been a few days so the real effect will come in a few week so lets keep this going...tysm for this video
This is why I’ve started to drift towards longer videos on RUclips. Specifically ones about topics that I want to learn about; for me it’s film or art. It feels like I’m actually spending my time well because I’m learning new meaningful things. Watching one long video seems “more productive” or “shorter” (and maybe better for my attention span) than if I watched multiple shorter videos, especially ones with brainless entertainment. (This is a shorter video of course but this is the exception haha, great valuable video)
honestly I think brain rot memes are funny, but I wouldn’t want to make it a life style. Honestly, it makes me feel horrible that people these days are getting so affected by it. Like. I get the memes, but at the same time I don’t??? Like the aura meme where you basically get deducted points if you do something “EMBARASSING”???? Like I don’t know. I don’t know what’s the point of that. But I feel happy that I’ve ended on the better side of the internet, I always see wholesome videos and kindness on shorts, reels. I wish the internet was used properly, for the good. I totally admit that I’ve been a victim of brain rot but I try to work on it. I don’t want to live this way. I wish I had more opportunities to go out.
same some specific memers like kraccbacc,memezee and few times ago memes by cowbelly and many similar memers. they make brainrot stuff that wont understand no one does while everyone pretends they do, no even points out how brain rotting their content is, they all pretend its funny.
Thank you! I didn't even know I needed this, I came across this randomly so I clicked on it, and now I'm glad I watched it till the end ^^ It's 5am for me right now so this was probably a reminder to live today in a productive way.
Bro u r really a life turner for people like me mentioned in the video. This is truly inspiring and motivating people to wake up to reality. Thanks for this, made me realize that this was the reason I fret when i start studying. Usually i study for more hours but now i feel like watching yt shorts whenever i am free and it has also decreased my productivity. Thanks a lot!
@@Sarthakbro12i hope it helps💖 1- Go to your avatar 2- on setting 3- click on general 4- click on playback in feed and turn it off 5- come to your home page 6- tap three dot and select not interested in some shorts until it ends 7- now exit RUclips, clean all the tabs or just RUclips ones 8- open your now without short yt
@@Sarthakbro12you should click not interested on home page then refresh it will be gone. You should not be feeling guilty for using social media, you just need to limit it. All good!
I’m just starting Uni and man I need to lock in. This is the final step of my life. I’ve been at school for over 15 years for this exact moment. my addiction to my phone has really been fucking it up. I realized something: no one can help you if you don’t help yourself. You need to be the one waking up every morning with the drive to perform. The only reason I haven’t thrown my phone out the window is because I need it for my friends and to call my parents. Anyways thanks for the wake up call. Sometimes when this pops on my feed it motivates me again. Tomorrow we kill everything.
Yes I realized this problem 4 years ago. So I started a dopamine detox. I muted all social media deleted some apps and only left my phone notifications on if it was something important. Many days I don’t use social media, play video games, or listen to music. I sit in silence for 10-20 minutes without doing anything just sitting down and let my brain/mind get rid off all the chaos that’s going on inside than I concentrate on my work until I’m done or at a check point
Thanks for the awesome video. ❤Brain rot destroyed me during middle school and to a lesser extent during high-school and I didn’t even know it. I hope someone like me watches it and gets a new perspective on life.
i don't use social media but from few days i don't know why i cant stop scrolling youtube i really feel bad for this but then also i can't stop scrolling i feel like this end of my life ( i am done ) the only app used in my phone is youtube

You are an amazing guy. Loved this content in particular about Brain rot. It describes my life perfectly 😢
Oh! how I love this video to watch it so profound and interesting at the same time.

I agree with that. Three years ago, when I didn't have any social media accounts, I was quite an elated and cheery person, and studying was not really a burden for me. But now, I am no longer that person, and I think I have wasted all my potential, with social media and smartphones being the primary reasons. However, I will find the old me within myself and will struggle to get out of this loop step by step. Even in the darkest moments, every step forward is a victory, no matter how small. 🙂

Studying was not an issue for me before. Partly because school was a lot easier back in year 8 but now I’m going to my GCSE year and I haven’t properly studied for exams in 2 years. I need to lock in to get maximum amount of 9s

3 years back, studying was never a burden for me, its an enjoyment for me(i used to skip some games period too for studying, its fun)
now i am here, struggling to read a single page with constant concentration

Difference between studying for 4 hours straight and being on your phone for 4 hours straight is absolutely insane. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck when I do the latter.
If I game for 8 hours, I feel less awful than if I stare at instagram for 2 hours.
I think social media is truly destroying peoples brains. I’m happy to be stepping away from most of it. I use RUclips for informative material, that’ll be all I consume for a long, long time
I can sit 10h on my phone no problem but studying even half an hour kills me.
Wasn't much different when I was a kid tho and there were no phones or other digital stuff.
Studying, Workout, Go outside and meet people, playing story rich video games and avoid online games, it's ultimate life.
Even video games are really bad you should limit yourself to only an hour or two
@@kingdragonthefirst4686 Video games and building PC’s are my hobby. It’s where I socialise with my oldest friends and have the most fun. Not a chance I’m only doing that for an hour.
There’s also nothing that’s proven video games to be bad for you.
@@danielkelsosmith your telling me playing video games for as long as a shift at a 9-5 job doesn’t affect you? It’s definitely not healthy staring at a screen for that long, it fucks up your posture, and is not the same as socializing in real life.

I am also searching same as u ? How about we both become friends...
OOF that’s sad, I’m sorry
Maybe try to help them out by suggesting cool stuff to do?
This is so real. Most of the time when you want to make real memories the people you're hanging out with just fuss over which photos will be posted to Instagram. Frankly, I don't want to be around people like that but don't know how to find people who just live

Gen z faces a real challenge of brain rot in this era. I'm having a semester exam in less than three weeks and I'm trying to catch up with my studies I left behind.

But this video really helps me out, I'm happy for the RUclips algorithm to make this video appear in my homepage 💌

Samee gurl I'm literally so addicted to these manhwa and manhua and I just don't feel like studying anymore 😢
i always study 2 days before exam idk why but im just too unmotivated whenever i want to do something productive my mind just kills me and make me thinks something to become unmotivated i tried working out but after a month i stopped i tried doing productive routine i stopped again after month like this video right here i stopped everything unproductive and again my mind makes me think that does it matter anyway?😊
@@Helloyoutube790i know it happens all the time :(
Reading manhwa is what got me. The most irritating thing for me is the fact that I can spend hours on end reading them even to the point of getting headaches but still continuing. It's so unhealthy but I still do it anyway...
This is so real. Among other things, brain rot genuinely made me fail my second year in college. Im gonna spend this next year becoming better.
At least you’re motivated. My problem is that the real world is just so depressing that I don’t really have a choice but to distract myself by scrolling.

I started practicing mindfulness to fight with mindless scrolling, for example when I'm eating, I focus only on the process of eating, I don't scroll on Instagram while eating. one task at a time. I've felt more connected with myself and with the world since I've started practicing mindfulness , definitely recommend it
Eating without doing something is craazy... which is alarming to think. So I'll try this. Thanks
I always eat breakfast and other meals with no phone or at max some music in my ears which actually is radio. I also always concentrate on the taste and quality of the food cause thats how i grew up and i am grateful for that. School has banned phones but i also feel gratefull although also its much different cause i cant look at my day and the lessons and everything is ofcourse digital so switching to analog is kind of bard but its doable
I'm suffering from intense imposter syndrome after getting admitted to a top university despite dragging through high school. I've been rotting away on my phone this entire summer, worrying about the next four years that lay before me. This is THE wake up call I needed to hear and I truly appreciate it.
all the best for uni buddy! u totally deserve it! i hope u make a lot of friends and have the best life !! love u
be glad you got where you are bro the world is ours let's do this!
it won't be easy take that for granted, fails will come along your journey. you may want to quit, probably even several times. but if you keep consistent and learn how to surpass the difficulties, i can assure you you’ll do it succesfully. plus, if you were admitted then you are capable to do so (and you won’t be alone!)
I relate so much, and yes, good luck!

I love how the subtitle and the background videos are changing every 2-4 seconds to get our attention that got destroyed by brain rot .
I'm in 10th grade and I had an exam coming up for which we were given 4 whole damn days to prepare but guess what I did? I wasted all those 4 days in scrolling or just binge watching NETFLIX when I was in the examination hall I wanted to kms but atleast I had a reality check from it, it's just the starting of the academic year so rather than scrolling in my free time I would go for jogging w my classmates.
Tysm Growth Lane for uploading this I really needed this.

So you have never started to study
You still didn't got any reality check
Class 10th is not that difficult. But you should be concentrating on ur studies more. Trust me, the regret that you didn't study earlier is just too much.
I have a frnd who couldn't even get admission in our school due to her low marks so she had to change schools. Pls make sure you don't get into the same situation. Netflix isn't worth all this.
yeah insta netflix takes your time, but remember even if you realize how things go wrong, there will a high chance that you will again start watching that, so pls make sure to avoid phone. have a nice futue...

One of the main reasons I turned off the notifications of these social media apps when I started studying for entrance exams is brain rot. It's slow but I'm starting to regain the focus I used to have. The attention span I have is increasing. It takes your own will too, if you want to overcome this brain rot
This channel deserves far more recognition. While I’ve been contemplating expanding my presence on social media, I’m truly relieved that I’m not involved with platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat. There’s a certain satisfaction in avoiding them. Recently, though, I’ve started watching RUclips Shorts, and it’s troubling to witness how such mind-numbing content is impacting today’s youth, especially considering I’m only 17 myself.
15 year old here, I too have been going to RUclips Shorts recently, but in a few day I noticed I've been have problems with pronouncing words and having a hard time looking for a specific word. If anyone is reading don't watch Shorts it's bad for your mental health by giving you too much dopamine thus turning your brain to mush in one way or another. Anyway have a wonderful day guys, stay safe everyone.

I know the Impact, I take action.... But this scenario replays itself everyday.
I feel lack of discipline and need of cheap dopamine is the root cause of this.
Working on this will hopefully make me a better person.
Thank you for reminding me how much time I waste in a day, And how much time I can utilize to improve my self.
Same but I am also trying my best to avoid those distractions
Try meditation. You can see results in just a few days.
Delete social media apps
Create a new youtube account, and only watch videos that are beneficial to you. The youtube suggestions will be full of good videos instead of the shitty ones.
good luck friend
Don’t be too hard on yourself though- the entire point of these billion dollar industries is to figure out how to keep you hooked on them as much as possible. It isn’t because of a lack of self restraint- it’s literally designed to do this to you. It’s a failure of a system
You went through all of this chaos straight to the point like a guided arrow, cutting through every obstacle with precision. Everyone has been waiting for someone with courage like you to speak up like this. I really appreciate this man I'll change my life from now on!
To be honest, my social media activities are under control. The main problem is this screen. Being connected to it for so long makes everything else feel useless and vague. Even though I feel most alive when I have my coffee, journal, and music with me, those kinds of free activities only last for 1-2 hours before I'm back to my screen (for my lectures and RUclips sometimes). When I'm listening to "Blonde" and staring at the ceiling, I realize life is more than just my screen, but I don't know what else to do. I have no friends in real life or on social media .... So in the end it's back to my screen
It's the hit of dopamine that makes us come back to it. It took me years to get off of it.
Me as a Developer can't get rid of it😑.
You're right. It is a digital era. I would love to hang out with people I love but all of them live atleast 20 kms away (and that's the lowest, some not even in city). I love to connect with them and it is through calls and chats. If not that, I'm either studying and working, guess what, on my laptop. I couldn't get most of these offline or I would. Books are super expensive compared to my courses. And after I'm done with my productive part with screen, I turn for my enjoyment to screen again. Different devices but still screen. Deleted all socials except whatsapp and telegram and I'm tryna connect more with myself but screen is an inevitable enemy. Just wanted to rant about my frustration. If you read completely, sorry & thanks!

I have experienced something even more scary, I don't know was that depression or not,but I couldn't focus on studies, whenever I tried to study offline there was a slight pain in brain,it felt heavy,I tried hard but failed after 2 years now I am recovering at a good pace now
Yeah if your sturting something completly or almost new its always like this. My brain was tingling almost every day in first 2 - 4 months when i was learning english cuz ive really been studying very hard. But without hard learning you cant achieve fast results. This pain is worth of results. But its only for the start. Second and third will be easier.

Could anyone suggest me anything to do, cause besides Watching anime , Reading manga & Doomless scrolling on my phone I don't do anything else these days
I'm pretty much bored of it cause it's been like for multiple years ⊙.☉
Switch off all media devices and try sitting in silence ,start slow then increase the time .
Try spending time at the library or at the beach or park just sitting or doing nothing the goal is to get used to being with yourself for a while then later you can start doing activities to fill time .start writing more and instead of consuming content create
delete your social media accounts, maybe start watching series which might be more educational to you. try reading self improvement books. dont ever compare yourself with others. everyone has their own time for everything. one might be a millionaire in his 20s and broke in his 50s while another might have been broke by 20 and a millionaire by 50. hope you have a really well recovery and will be back to your best soon !!! god bless you.
Hey, i love this guy! because he has a better understanding and its easier to listen to someone that truly understands. our parents have no idea what brain rot is fr because they be like: "you dont listen do you?" its because you dont understand and have no idea whats actually the problem. i actually blamed this on adhd (i thought my attention span was low because of adhd) but this helps fr. ❤
I've been struggling with a cycle of alternating between being highly productive and then falling into periods of binge-watching or mindless media consumption. For instance, last week I stayed on track and didn't waste any time, but in the past 24 hours, I've spent over 19 hours watching movies and short films. Despite wanting to stop several times, I just couldn't pull myself away. This pattern has happened multiple times, where I stay focused for 3-7 days and then slip back into excessive screen time. I'm really concerned about why this keeps happening and how I can better manage it.
Take a joke lil bro 🤡 brainrot is more like a joke to be laughed on but weaklings like u cry on it
You need to analyze what productivity for you is. If you just trying to do something without any goals. its really not worth of it. Try to do something with real purpose
When I was younger, I used to find the idea of phone addiction hard to believe. It seemed almost unreal. But today, I took a step towards change and deleted all my social media apps
Remember guys the whole practice of cleaning your brain and starting to focus on productive things. It will take a lot of time and patience. So Don't lose hope if you see that even after not using your phone, You're not Doing well. Take your time as much as you want..
Keeping yourselfe busy in things that you can pass by not doing it.. Believe it will be the turning point of your life.. Phone addiction is like cancer to teenagers who are most likely students
Edit: please consider English is my second language.
I hate this video for the sole reason that it’s too relatable. Exactly what happened throughout the day. Truly a wake up call. Great video.
Absolutely true! I hope this video reaches more people for the sake of humans and our brain, very useful video

this video is a good reminder. i hope people use this to improve their lives.
This what i felt during pandemic. Just scrolling in fb or twitter to see something interesting but over the time i cant focus much on studies. Even still this day i still have the effects on it but i try to limit myself on social media. Great video btw.
I love how my addictive personality can be such a double edged sword. I’ve struggled with porn addiction, substance addiction, scrolling and such. But when it comes to studying and when I get into the groove I literally become addicted to it as well. When I’m locked in I AM LOCKED IN. My phone isn’t even able to distract me.
Me too bud, me too.
Just thinking that I spend the whole day WITHOUT going outside, doing sports, hearing or seeing friends, or just chill but rather spending time on playing solo video games, or on RUclips watching Shorts and sometimes long-form videos.
My attention span got significantly worse over time, my eyesight is, too.
I started this video in 2 times speed while rushing through the comment section. I didn't even think through what was being said, neither in the video nor in the comment section. It's been a long time since I've read a book by my own. I remember reading it with my brain, emphasizing with the characters, and trying to find meaning behind the language used.
Now, I'm just reading with my eyes, letters after letters, texts after texts, etc.
Everything I hear and read appears so fake to me. As if no real person is behind it.

There are people who get depressed and they tell about it on social media instead of telling people irl and getting physical help from others. No one will help you if you tell your depression in some random youtube comments. 5:06 Is a very valuable quote.
...
I relate to the part where hours go by and I havent even done anything productive. Not even edit my videos, or check messages. I just genuinely cannot accept my life.
I started by being just aware and trying to be conscious of what I do every waking moment, it was very tough at first but then gradually i got the hang of it and watched as if I was watching someone else's life. I felt the need to detach myself, from myself. I have the tendency to distract or escape reality if I get bored, or become lazy.
Every. Thing. In this video hits, and I will treasure this video. It helps when there are fewer words on screen, and as they flash by, I notice underlying meanings and thoughtful messages behind every word. Maybe thats just me being naturally introspective, but I really like the editing style. It makes me feel like someone is genuinely trying to talk through the screen.
I totally agree... I'm a drop out student next year I wi appear in some competitive exams with the hope that I'll clear one of them... But I do nothing to make that happen. I can't even study for straight 2 hours cuz of my distractions. I'm too tired of myself. I just keep lying to myself that everything will be alright with time but deep down I know that's not gonna happen if I continued with this pace.... I wish that soon I'll be able to increase my study time 🌸 and thankyou for your video... It gave me alot of courage and I'll try my best from now on 🌸THANKYOU
The same shit is happening to me too....... I'm far behind from class because of my laziness and lack of attention span like I can hardly sit for 1 hour or so. I tried deleting Instagram but I downloaded it again every time 😮💨
0:07 2 hours? More like 10 hours everyday dude :)
Great video, dude. Ik most of us will want to say brain rot doesn't exist but it does and it's affecting alot of us. Most people just don't wanna admit.
In today's world people make friendships with their technology, not people. No one talks to one another. Walk into a restaurant or take the subway and everyone is looking at a small screen. These same people go home and look at an even larger screen, their computer, and end their day with an even larger screen, their television. Growing up in the sixties, coffee houses were the best places to meet people. Coffee and a good conversation - there was nothing like it. And I loved the poetry slams.
Absolutely, your words resonate deeply. It’s all too easy to become complacent and overlook the opportunities that lie before us. Sometimes, we get caught up in the routine of our lives, forgetting to nurture our own growth and well-being. But recognizing this is the first step toward positive change. Let’s strive to embrace discipline, seize those hidden opportunities, and cultivate a life that brings fulfillment to ourselves and those around us. 🌟
This video is a lifesaver because each time I'm on my phone or my PC I tend to get distracted easily even when I put my phone on Do Not Disturb I still get this temptation to do it
Also, this brain rot had seriously affected me negatively at school because before I used to be good at subjects, and very social in class but after it affected me I became less social, and not very good at performing subjects. I would sleep very late because of this. but the only way I overcome this brain rot was that I just have to put off my phone away, meditate and focus
Lol, it's tuesday 10th of Sept and next friday i have an exam, I've studied a little bit, but not enough, so... great timing from yt recommendations, thanks and specially to "Growth Lane" and, well, I am going to study and then go to sleep.
Hope everyone can focus on their priorities, I believe you are capable of it, don't surrender and keep trying, you'll get it.

I've had so much brain rotting in the past 10 years and corona made it worse .
im literally 18 and ive come to the point that i feel nothing from the internet no laugh no smiles just emptiness and my brain is just keeps rejecting the entire internet and i still watch it even though i hate to do it.
And im just doing it for that little kick of dopamin, but no its empty.
So imma quite this hell hole and not gonna watch any mind numbing shit for 1 month as a challenge
Same case with me blud 🙂
Oh same im 2006 kid
4 years of pandemic has changed us alot affected mental health physical health
Very similiar experience
I hate to say that ott content are worse that's why I skip alot of them
I reject Instragram and irreverent video's
same over here 18 too this 4 years has fucked up my mental health
Pure facts & truth here. Thank you, people need to watch this video if any of what's out there on the Internet nowadays...
I feel very much motivated throughout the day when im. At school, studying or even durinv sleepy afternoons but the moment i open Instagram or any other social...idk how it goes down the drain...i tried deleting all of them and switching just to games and reddit and it has worked a bit...been a few days so the real effect will come in a few week so lets keep this going...tysm for this video
i relate to u . but my main problem is RUclips, and there's is like no way u can delete / avoid it.
This is why I’ve started to drift towards longer videos on RUclips. Specifically ones about topics that I want to learn about; for me it’s film or art. It feels like I’m actually spending my time well because I’m learning new meaningful things. Watching one long video seems “more productive” or “shorter” (and maybe better for my attention span) than if I watched multiple shorter videos, especially ones with brainless entertainment. (This is a shorter video of course but this is the exception haha, great valuable video)
2:47 yup this video is so true so true

honestly I think brain rot memes are funny, but I wouldn’t want to make it a life style. Honestly, it makes me feel horrible that people these days are getting so affected by it. Like. I get the memes, but at the same time I don’t??? Like the aura meme where you basically get deducted points if you do something “EMBARASSING”???? Like I don’t know. I don’t know what’s the point of that. But I feel happy that I’ve ended on the better side of the internet, I always see wholesome videos and kindness on shorts, reels. I wish the internet was used properly, for the good.
I totally admit that I’ve been a victim of brain rot but I try to work on it. I don’t want to live this way. I wish I had more opportunities to go out.
same some specific memers like kraccbacc,memezee and few times ago memes by cowbelly and many similar memers.
they make brainrot stuff that wont understand no one does while everyone pretends they do, no even points out how brain rotting their content is, they all pretend its funny.
Knowing that you are wasting time, potential and yet unable to control the shit
Hurts too much
Thank you! I didn't even know I needed this, I came across this randomly so I clicked on it, and now I'm glad I watched it till the end ^^
It's 5am for me right now so this was probably a reminder to live today in a productive way.
I would recommend you to set real life achievements
Bro u r really a life turner for people like me mentioned in the video. This is truly inspiring and motivating people to wake up to reality. Thanks for this, made me realize that this was the reason I fret when i start studying. Usually i study for more hours but now i feel like watching yt shorts whenever i am free and it has also decreased my productivity.
Thanks a lot!
2 year i was like that i deleted insta and tiktok and i dont open any shorts 👍🏻
I deleted insta and tik tok but How do I avoid Shorts they are too intimidating sometimes
@@Sarthakbro12i hope it helps💖
1- Go to your avatar
2- on setting
3- click on general
4- click on playback in feed and turn it off
5- come to your home page
6- tap three dot and select not interested in some shorts until it ends
7- now exit RUclips, clean all the tabs or just RUclips ones
8- open your now without short yt
@sarthakbro6421 well sometimes I also open but ad soon as you realise that you are scrolling you need to stop.
@@Sarthakbro12you should click not interested on home page then refresh it will be gone.
You should not be feeling guilty for using social media, you just need to limit it. All good!
@@Sarthakbro12 switch off your history. It will make your feed "empty" and won't recommend you the shorts you like when you click the icon
I’m just starting Uni and man I need to lock in.
This is the final step of my life. I’ve been at school for over 15 years for this exact moment.
my addiction to my phone has really been fucking it up.
I realized something: no one can help you if you don’t help yourself. You need to be the one waking up every morning with the drive to perform.
The only reason I haven’t thrown my phone out the window is because I need it for my friends and to call my parents.
Anyways thanks for the wake up call.
Sometimes when this pops on my feed it motivates me again.
Tomorrow we kill everything.
This video needs more views and likes! This is very valuable info.
👍 agree
Words ain't enough to thank you bro. I needed this❤
I thought brain rot is like skibidi toilet, Ohio, fanum tax and gyatt
Yes I realized this problem 4 years ago. So I started a dopamine detox. I muted all social media deleted some apps and only left my phone notifications on if it was something important. Many days I don’t use social media, play video games, or listen to music. I sit in silence for 10-20 minutes without doing anything just sitting down and let my brain/mind get rid off all the chaos that’s going on inside than I concentrate on my work until I’m done or at a check point
1:27 very important
me: *Watches skibidi toilet*
my life: *still fine*
whats making my life worst: *fake friends, bullies, dumbness on math, slowness, stupidness*
this really changed my perceptive on social media. thx
Thanks man for helping me out Appreciate the work you are putting to help everyone 🔥🔥
loved this video editing style.... all so chill and cozy feels
Agree😂
how to say i was just starting to get stuck in a youtube reels loop and here it is this stuff now i am out and back to my coding
how brain rot causes brain rot
Thanks for the awesome video. ❤Brain rot destroyed me during middle school and to a lesser extent during high-school and I didn’t even know it. I hope someone like me watches it and gets a new perspective on life.
why do u have anime in your background and why is 5:05 there for so long
😂
All I unintentionally needed was your channel sir, Thankyou so much!
It’s ruining my life in uni 😭
Get rid of social media. Limit even your RUclips activity. Speaking from experience. It'll help you a lot
This video pops up right in the time I need it. Thank you, man. Great video. I have to study for tomorrow's exam now.
Ayoo thanks! ❤
