Once I deleted my socials I noticed that about 90% of my negative daily thoughts and anxiety just vanished,it was nothing but hell to me
The best line in this whole video: "Social media actually makes you anti-social".
Very true and relatable.
Yesss that’s true
you don't realize how toxic social media is and how dysfunctional your way of thinking becomes until you've eliminated them. The problem with this is bigger than ourselves. The problem is that there are literally billions of people in the world just like this. I seriously think that social media is going to bring about an involution in human culture and many other aspects.
Spot on! I quit social media 2 months ago… my productivity sky rocketed. I became obsessed with cleanliness, started ready and studying the Bible again, enrolled in school, changed careers, started exercising…it was like taking a productivity drug.
It really does increase your productivity and it’s more of a distraction than anything
Yoooo I love that it brought you back to God, this makes my day!
20 or 30 years ago we didn't have social media so life back then was better
I haven't had social media accounts in almost a year and it's been the best year I've had since before I joined them. Reminds me of the 90's.
Quit social media for a year now (exept for youtube and pinterest) and I really enjoy it. I noticed I’m more present in my own life and more connected to my inner self. Yes, I feel like nowadays it’s difficult for a 19 yo to connect with new people without having a insta profile, but it sometimes feels good to be able to see people as their true real life self instead of seeing them from the perspective of their insta posts.
Since I quit I did not start waking up at 5 am, going to the gym, reading etc…but I definitely feel more at peace and less anxious/overstimulated. Definitely recommended. This is just to show that if you quit something you don’t necessarily need to build all these habits, if you do good for you, but you can continue living like you always did, but with a clearer and calmer mind, and more time to spend alone with your thoughts and emotions. And that’s awesome !
The whole env around him is what we all need for a while
Nature = healing.
I quit social media from 6 years ago ,I have only youtube for selective videos to watch .Productivity calmness are so high ,no-one believes that iam doing so well,without stress,too much time,I even changed direction to my job and studies ,I am a new person, I care only for my evolution as person, I even started to learn Mathematics because it was always my black spot .I am like a bomb ,my colleagues tell me what are you drinking ?haha I feel blessed .Too many useless informations we cannot absorb as human beings, we are not robots .True people ,essential connections and concentration to real life the real game .
I am so glad that my video made it into the select few, keep it up man
I deleted facebook 6 years ago and instagram 3 years ago. I never had snap chat or tick tok or any other social media. life is soo much better. people think im strange but most of the time people admir me for it.
Must admit social media is so negative to be on. So much drama and petty stuff goes on in there. Its why i took meself off social media as i am getting rid of as much negative in Life as possible . As being around positive people and activities in life is so much more rewarding.
Bro no joke, I deleted socials a while ago and I'm already at book 5 of 2024, have studied everyday (except for sunday, cause let's be real a pause day is important) and went to the gym every friday (can't do leg day currently cause I have runners leg and can't do my run, cause it actually hurts). I even started to learn a new instrument.
And last year I did a presentation about social media algorithms (I just wanted to slander tiktok) and the thing is, socials only goal is to keep you on the app. The whole algorithm of each app is made to get you addicted to it. Honestly social media is evil, very blunt said.
So deleting it and instead concentrating on something else is definitely the way to go.
I miss my childhood with no social media applications or distractions 😌
I would love to live there, definitely a unreachable life I want. Never been into social media and I can agree with you ~😊
I am always grateful for it, the roosters are annoying though ;) Thanks for agreeing most aren’t brave enough
Isso é tão verdade! Faz um tempo que percebi que sempre que deixo de estar em redes sociais para fazer coisas variadas como ler, desenhar ou estar ao ar livre, me sinto satisfeita comigo mesma no final do dia. Redes sociais afetam diretamente nossa autoestima, saúde mental e relacionamentos. Minutos se tornam horas, depois dias e quando vemos, gastamos a nossa vida em algo fútil. Ótimo vídeo!
It is not social media itself that is bad, it is our over reliance on it that has made it bad. Too much negative crap has been permitted on social media sites which has led to growing mental health issues. While it is great to communicate with people from all the country and other countries, it is equally important to stay in touch with our own local communities and neighborhoods. Everything in moderation that is the key.
Deleting instagram and never getting snapchat or tiktok was one of the best things I ever did.
The rooster in the back was the highlight, and the cat was iconic😂 I went about almost a year with no social media (instagram still going strong just permanently deleting it) I did go on snap for a few months for the summer but I'm getting rid of it again permanently. Anyways half way through the video and i love how blunt you are! I have been seeing alot of these vidoes in my newsfeed and i felt like it is a sign from Jesus to be off 😂 keep it up!
I just deleted two social media accounts two days ago and now I’m about to deleted two more social media accounts. I’m getting tired of social media, it is damaging me mentally.
quit snapchat 4 months ago, now I'm quitting instagram too. felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. stay focused on ourselves, and may good things happen to us
Our world was better prior to social media.
The problem is that we became over dependent on social media.
I Quit social media for 10
Months changed my number and and was wonderful and peaceful logged back on for 3 months smh deleted social media yesterday for good
Im 19 years old and ive quited social media Snapchat, Tiktok and Instagram. I go to the gym and everything but i find it causes depression, takes away ur ability to be social, social media to me is like being on VR the VR life isnt real samething with being on social media if that makes sense. Ive been doing this for a day and i feel amazing all the things i had anxiety about and the things i worried about faded away because social media is the reason why i had those thoughts looking back after deleting my social media account it wasn’t a big deal and just worrying about stupid things
i kept looking at the background as the words sinked in....yes i quited social media after being an addict and am really finding peace in it...i swear am better than ever
I feel a lot less anxious since deleting my social media. The first month was tough though. You have to get through the detox to see the benefits.
social media is such a waste of time. It all about comparison and how many likes you get. people don’t know how to talk to people or check up on people.
I have to agree and thanks for the motivation. Today I don't have any social site anymore and I even left the corporate last week so a new life can begin.
bro that is awesome that you so radically changed your life, keep going!!
you’re doing great stuff, more people gotta know about you
Thanks brother, what an encouragement to see other likeminded folk.
Great video man. I have delted social media while ago and haven't looked back. However I've noticed I spend a lot of time on youtube. I think i should quit this as well but it is difficult as sometimes I need it for work and it keeps me entertained when eating.

Love from India

This is me tho, but I want to make videos for myself and others online like you so should I remove all social media and even shows and etc?
I agree mate.Got rid of instagram and Spotify just Facebook to go.
Why Spotify
@@adriangarza7584 because I’m not supporting them after deleting 750,000 songs
love this. did u permanently delete social media?
I keep it at a very controlled level, like less than 30 minutes a day if I can help it, I believe it is not about deleting so much as quitting and moving to living a full life
The cute cats were making out :3

Πολυ ωραιο βιντεο . Θα ήθελα πολυ μια μερα να έχω ενα κινητό με πλήκτρα, ενα παλιο κινητο μονο για επικοινωνία. Νιώθω πως δεν μπορω να ζήσω χωρίς αυτο . Και τα social media οντως σε καταστρέφουν, προσωπικά μου κανουν πολυ κακο στην ψυχολογία μου . Έχω μονο Facebook και RUclips. Αλλα και παλι , ειμαι πολυ ωρα στο κινητο , 5-6 ωρες😕❤
*_me watching this on youtube_*
😏
I need to quit RUclips next.
Can I get your like please❤
I really like your video, but could you please raise your voice a little? Thanks ❤
I will try!
Those hens😂are so distracting
sure nature is distracting
🤣👍
"Promosm" 😏
Fake.
what do you even mean bro?
@@austinsmith222 sorry I hope you don't get upset. Simply you say get rid of your social média and you are still posting videos so, it's contradictory
@@tationutube I did not mean for my tone to be angry, I actually found it funny that you said it. You make a good point though, I justify myself that a message must be spread.
@@austinsmith222 ah well you're just lovely my brother, and by this message you have earned my subscription.. guess I won't be quoting social media just yet lol.... have a blessed and lovely day (ps. I am a sister though not bro hehhh) 😄🤩💫💛👆🥎⚽
