      Leh, I encourage you to check out "Facebook is ripping apart society" here on RUclips when u get time, And hear what the people that played a big part in the creation of some of these sm apps had to say!, try not to be surprised. Its interesting to say the least and its only 10 minutes. I hope your sm fast is going well.

    Social media is toxic, as a whole. I have been gone from Facebook ( the only sm i used) for almost 7 months now, with no plans to return. There isn't much like living in your own skin,with your own thoughts and not influenced by what I see on a sm app. U will reap many personal benefits if you stay away. I'm a witness to this. Your vid is further wisdom and courage for me to stay off. Thank you for your further elaboration.

      Well over a year now and I feel so back down to earth and human! I have my thoughts back, my peace of mind. It kinda feels like I'm living back in the early 2000's before social media took hold!...I don't know what else to say I just feel free and paying more attention to the people and the world around me. I am never coming back to Facebook. No reason to, no utility, nothing meaningful to my life. I feel good!, And I plan on living the rest of my life social media free, mentally and spiritually independent.

The peace, the serenity, living in the moments, in touch with real life and my surroundings, paying immediate family more attention , back reading, working out,writing. It's totally worth it and I am never coming back. We only get one life let's make the most of it In "real life" before it's gone.

    Facebook is the most poisonous of all social media sites. I'm planning to quit FB for good soon because I don't feel happy on there at all. I found myself always comparing myself to everyone else's good stuff and things such as gossip, political posts, and irrelevant photos grew so tiring.

    We left social media, to only be in bondage to personality types. I spent six years in that stuff, and all it does is keep you in a mental box of something that you may or may not fully be. We're not coming to the realization of a personality type, we are coming to the realization of who we are which extends outside of personality types. We are each uniquely made by God, and by God alone. It is better to know God, than to know thyself, because just because you know yourself, doesn't mean that certain parts of yourself are going to lend themselves to your most quality life. For example I was an "ISFP". I was told I couldn't be scientific or like math, so I felt for a long time I was a INTJ or INTP. When I came to God, I stopped liking clothing so much, and stopped spending so much time on my appearance. Those seem to be big kickers for ISFPs. But I realize the benefits of not being so focused on vain endeavors. You spend less time judging yourself unnecessarily, and therefore you spend less time judging others unnecessarily. Because of that you sow good seed and not tares. In addition, God talks to me in scientific terms, and sometimes I'm surprised, because of the brain washing of Myers-Briggs and the enneagram, but the truth is He is the one who sowed me together that way. Many that are called to be children of God have a case of mistaken identity, Miss Zion (who's name represents the highest Mountain in the city of peace which God loves most of all) and that's exactly what these things are about. I never grew knowing my Myers Briggs type, but only through knowing God. That is our rightful place. So true what you're saying...Ephesians 6. May He reveal Himself to you on your spiritual journey.

    Thank you for your video ! So important to talk about it. When I left social Media (totally deleted everything) for a few months, everything changed about the way I was living even though I wasn't sending so much time in it. But I was just more focused on everything and I started to call people directly more and more. Today I only put Instagram back to share about natural healing and I feel good about it because it's in the direction to help others and not talk about my life just for ego ! It changed everything ! Have a great day !

    I'm currently struggling with Social Media Addiction, & am trying to get off. I FINALLY deleted my Instagram & Tiktok accounts. I'm STILL struggling with trying to get off of Facebook, though. I'm currently in the "Uninstall/Reinstall App" stage for Facebook. It's gotten to where I'll go on once a day just to post a list of things I created on paper, & even check my notifications while I'm at it. But then it's time to get off & "Uninstall" the app right after, until next time. I have faith that it WILL eventually get to the point where "RUclips" will be my ONLY Social Media Account that will remain active. Like you, at least I feel safer HERE than on any of my other Social Media accounts.

    There is something that will impede your advancement as I told my own subscribers. Addiction to social media. Now social media can be a good thing for advertising your business, YT channel or the like. But having your entire existence based on it is not. First there is the unhealthy aspect of comparing yourself to other profiles which usually aren't nearly as stellar in real life as they are on the front page. Then there is the aspect where your validation is being sought from people you rarely talk to in real life--if ever. Not to mention the constant quest of follows and likes also drops minute amounts of dopamine in your system literally physically making you addicted to social media. Which leads to later anxiety increase and depression. But also--if you are spending all your time on your iPhone then you aren't advancing yourself. Think about how much more you could learn about stock trading if you cut social media 90% down? That's my end point. It should be a very small part of your life not the center of it. Hope that helps someone out there---Charles

I believe life is hard and it hard to break old habit s but I think if we try to grow and prac mindful living it will help us more than media .. there were some following me that not got my back some like to read them there were some that did love me and cared but were vulnerable all I can do is try hard to love and live in the present and our spirit will heal when we turn off the new s and jus live. Be simple and hope butterfly return s social media did not do me much good it something I need to let go of and Focus on life living one moment at a time and putting energy where it will do most good my family My goals my not media life will improve if I ..rise and shine and jus be I jus read my old comment s I wrote. Media is a journal of day to day thoughts but I hear what she’s saying. Outside of media is where it at simplify ! Good will find good and we all need to grow and heal. Life’s a journey I appreciate the ones that truly understand my words. Jus for today. I don’t want to go backward s I n this life media ok now and then but I want to enjoy life more and it’s ok to do what s best for you in this life. Now lots to do. I am in that building each day now it’s omg enjoy life more and I hope you do the same my media peeps. Namaste love and light ! My people know where to find me lol they should omg I posted a lot in the years and sent that girl a million cards ( they weren’t all bad ) and I keep getting live chat stuff. I no do that. I am a face to face person but thank you anyway namaste love and light.

    Living for today and relate relax release and most of all. Turn off the news. Love and live more and no one said you can’t send your cousin a post card lol jus be and smile and make those darn bucket list. Get busy and be gratitude my old hippie mentor said is our best thing to practice we git everything we need if we jus see light and remember the good ! No dwell on bad and More than words ( a good song ) people go to extremes when frustrated but learn to truly forgive .. by opening up those doors !

    In simple term s. Leave media makes room for more Life I figured whomever really care s and want to really communicate and make memories will do that. I attracted hater s wounded narcs. Stalker s and people that liked to help and meant well but omg media is same thing no progress. Media is escape from our own prob. People will attach to you fir good and bad reasons. Omg simplify I done being under microscope I done preaching to ones that don’t get it. I done doing same things each day that not helping anyone. Your life is now !! John M song. Crosby song. Teach your children and Adai. And it’s Mark Z fault lol dam modern tech lol well she spot on. I listened to every word. And biggest prob wth media. Walking on egg shells. Many energy that want to get in my head and I want more real life living. Amen. Hank Williams. If it will it will. Protect energy yes and sometimes you must set free and hope people grow ! Empath s get bad rap lol but it ok. Life is where it at. Too much media omg Mind chatter. Take power back let it all go. Serenity prayer ! See you on the other side the universe is a big place. More to life than social media. I hope I gain I know I will. People in life need my energy more
