Why You Should Quit Social Media - Why It's Bad For You (animated)

- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- The use of social media has skyrocketed in the last decade. We are spending more and more time on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. Whenever we have some free time, we check our news feed, to see if something new has happened. Whether we'd like to admit it or not, it's changing why and how we do certain things; and especially how we look at them.
Too much use of social media has been linked to higher levels of loneliness and depression.
And we know that an entire new generation is growing up with lower self-esteem than all previous generations.
Interestingly enough, people who browse social media more often than others, seem to suffer the most.
Let's take a look at why this is happening.

I’ve removed all social media’s app on my phone and it was the best change I made ever.
Magaiver Oliveira any updates now do you still use it I find it so toxic once I go on Snapchat I realise I’m so upset after because I see nothing but fake people and toxic people all I see is people I don’t want to see imagine the impact t has on you I’m so addicted I try to delete it but I re install it after
I feel ya... I used to use social media to enjoy it but i got tired of the haters on there...some of my friends would make things seem perfect when it was far from the truth
Social media is good and bad I’m not addicted to my phone or social media but I am on it a lot I can go without my phone but I just enjoy life more with my phone
Well, RUclips is also social media. That means you haven't :)
@@g718ny Yeah it's just fake so many bullies on there with no lives and everyone wants to be in your business to much drama all that

@Devansh Chauhan 😂😂😂😂
@Fair Maiden He actually did say a SIMILAR thing in German which is pretty much the same.
"Sollen sich auch alle schämen, die sich Gedankenlos der Wunder der Technik bedienen, und nicht mehr davon geistig erfasst haben, als die Kuh von der Botanik der Pflanzen - die sie mit wohlbehagen frisst."
Translated :
"Shame also on all those who brainlessly make use of the wonders of our future technology and have not grasped more of them spiritually than the cow of the botany of plants - which she eats with comfort."
So yes, he did call them idiots in an eloquent way lmaoo the greatest diss I've heard.
It's actually on RUclips, Rare German Recording of Albert Einstein
So in a way yes, don't use his Fision of Atoms Research please. Do not touch kidz.
He was talking about tiktok
The only social media that cures my depression is youtube and channels like this one.
same
Need youtube to fight depression and boredom and at the same time be informed in this pandemic.
Yes I feel happier and more motivated after watching DIY videos.
I mean from another perspective, RUclips is actually considered a Television.
Loner Phoenix Facts. Stuff on TV nowadays is garbage
Social Media will make you CRAZY!!!
5 DEADLY SINS OF SOCIAL MEDIA
1. ENVY
2. JEALOUSY
3. LIE
4. GREED
5. DISCONTENMENT
Selena Kang Smith these are the reasons why I deleted Instagram twitter and snap chat
Yeah right 💯
In a way, Envy and jealousy are the same
Also might I add 6. FAKE
Yep!
❌Facebook 5 years and counting..
❌Instagram 1 year and counting..
❌Other Social Media Apps
Except RUclips! :)
I also only use RUclips nowadays. Never used Twitter or Instagram before (never made an account on either), never used Snapchat and I haven't logged in to Facebook for months (but haven't deleted my account yet), my last post on Facebook I can't even remember, it's been years, but I do log in sometimes to check some messages for like 2 minutes then log out again. I do use Linkedin to put my portfolio on, but I never post anything there.
congrats!! 👏
@@ThisIsWellMalik hey man, wassup ?
RUclips is a bit different. You’re able to learn instead of viewing someone’s facetious fake life. It’s not healthy to use it actively but RUclips definitely is worth keeping.
I’m with ya!
I've never used social media, mainly because I wasn't interested in it. My friends convinced me to get it, but I always ended up saying no. I'm so proud of myself! :3
Congrats!
I just quit all social media, deleted all accounts, im proud of you as well!
Same here. Never really understood the craze of social media. People were always telling me to join the 21st century and get with the times.
I tried social media for about 10 months - but got really bored of it within a month. I've now quit altogether and reverted back to my original self.
Social media just seems very superficial to me. Everyone is trying to look cool and pretending to be what they aren't.
Good for you. Wish I could say the same, but I just quit a few hours ago and I’m already feeling better
Thank you all! I’m so proud of you all! Sure, get an account if you want but limit your time on it, and avoid following and looking at things that crush your spirit. If you’re not exactly interested in it like me, don’t get it then. I’m proud of you all though! :)
Its like gambling, its addictive and sometimes destructive.
Yes
Reminded me of kakegurui
Social media has created a toxic culture of comparing own life style with others. Truth is you can't be them, they can't be you. YOU are YOU. don't waste your valuable time by scrolling social media mindlessly. I use social media only when it is necessary. Thanks for this amazing video 💛
That culture has already existed. Social media exacerbates it, that's all
I may quit for good this year in 2020 because I get easily jealous of other people getting married and traveling a lot on social media.
Girl, i admire your honesty. Keep going . ✨
Remi Chloe Lewis smart idea. You’ll feel so much more at peace. Praying for u!
Frfrfr...Sounds good mrs.
@@DB-qg5us you ain't lie about that frfr😉
So you cannot enjoy the fact that others are able to fulfill their dreams of marriage and travel. Got it.
I used to have social media and take nice pics just so I can get likes and fame, that's a fake life right there. It's okay to have social media, but to have it to look cool and be trending, and living fake lives isn't okay. So just have fun with social media. I will occasionally temporarily delete Instagram, for I'm only 11, and I want to control my life. Thank you for reading this! 💓
It's breaking up marriages and relationships also. Shut them all down! I'm 41 and I grew up before cal phones and computers and I had the best childhood!!! Saturday mornings were waking up to watch cartoons until afternoon and then playing outside with friends. I can do without all of this. My era was big on IMAGINATION.
Exactly
How the fuck does it break up marriages?
@@akhanom8299 Temptation
asma khanom definitely is a huge detriment to marriages and you’re blind if you can’t tell how.
I had the same kind of childhood. I am a very creative person because of it.
I've been away from social media for two weeks now. I initially went through withdrawals but now I'm feeling so much better.
bro amazing how you managed withdrwals
Withdrawals? Lol from social media!? Never had that problem
man if people got rid of social media people would feel alot better about themselves
Michael Cook man if people in the real world knew how to treat people JUST like the ones online people would feel a lot better about themselves
Actually, they do make me feel better about myself! Why tf do all middleaged men think, they do have to post a pic of themselves barechested? Yuck, and I'm hetero. :D Anyway, I agree about the discontentment, there is always something to nag about! Is it infectious? Or just mirroring societies/people as they are today - the more he has, the more he craves (that's one from my ganny, actually, hence not pc)? Anyway, that negativity is something I can not surround myself with on a permanent loop - how do you?? Whatever we avoid though, brace ourselves for generation tiktok, and hell only knows what'll be after them.
People would start to be normal human beings and actually communicate in person instead of texting behind a screen , especially if it’s drama or relationships ... what a waste of time.
except RUclips
I decided to just step away from Facebook for a month because it was starting to take a toll on my mental health. 13 days later, I don't miss all the gossip, photos of other people's food, and political posts. I've realized the number of "likes" I get on a post doesn't show my validity in life. I've also understood that there's no such thing as the perfect photo or perfect vacation. Nobody can possibly take a good photo ALL the time!
I'm no way in hell quitting RUclips. That's the only social media I use.
50 h/w😂
RUclips is just television for me, not social media. :)
@@Teutonius88 why are you gay ?
It's social media if you follow Paul Logan or pewdipiedie
Me too
I quit periscope for a year and did not go back it was addicting. I then stop going on social media which took my anxiety away. I do not watch TV at all and I go on You Tube once in a bit. I do not go on Facebook at all since 3 years. I have notice more people that quit social media started to not have depression and anxiety. I read the bible which has changed my life and I have learned that I can live without many things that I thought I needed. I also lost 45 lbs my life has changed for the better since I go online less.
True at first it is painful like an ache but it goes away eventually. I now help people quit social media which now most of them started offline businesses.
@E OnTheHike I give glory to God Who is Christ Jesus Only God not any humans. God is Love God is Spirit
@Azina Taranom it's up to you most people put TV before God because that is their god as long as you seek God first and not put anything above Him
I Quit Facebook Since About A Month Ago, I Feel Like I Found Myself, I Became More Productive, I Felt That Peace Of Mind Inside Me... SOCIAL MEDIA (Except RUclips) Is Like A Burning Rotten Village Full Of Smothering Zombies!
This is so true.. i have the exact feeling when i look at someone's instagram that's where all my depression begins. Although i don't use much of social media. I just have instagram. And that too very less followers. I'm so happy after watching this. Do like this comment if you feel the same💙

No.

Social Media can cause people to become impatient due to the fear of missing out on life experiences. I've deleted Facebook and Instagram but I hardly ever use snapchat and only use twitter to keep up with politics.
I’m deleting social media had enough, if I don’t delete it I won’t use it
This is so true, my best friend was in an abusive relationship and would tell me all her problems and later be posting him how shes so in love
Mind games
@@FuckEMM808 more like toxic positivity, I think her 'positive' thinking is being used against her in her 'relationship'
I don't hate social media, I just hate those toxic people who using it.
Social Media has created a toxic culture as well and its been happening more and more.
It’s easy for people to talk shit behind a screen and that’s where majority of the drama even starts... through social media because everybody thinks they know everything
It hasn't actually, no.
Our culture has always been toxic. Social media just makes it easier
@@bobbycecere1037 Especially Twitter
@@iamjohnporter67
That's because most go there for politics. There's nothing more toxic than political theater. It's literally a battle on there 24/7
@@bobbycecere1037 Too Right.
No Facebook since 2014, No Instagram since 2019.
Wow amazing
I'm ready to delete Facebook because everything now is making me depressed.
Do it!!!
I am the same on Facebook. I have SO many people blocked because of their "perfect" life. I just signed off of Facebook...
Sable Ann delete it altogether, your life will be much more richer and rewarding without it
Do it!
Just do it...Believe me, it's the best decision u can make 😀
I just permanently deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts it feels hella weird but I had to go I felt so miserable with it
Your absolutely amazing can we date :)
Me too, Facebook makes me depressed
Me too now I’m quitting Instagram
Best thing ever , congrats.
your videos are one of the best on the whole platform , always worth each of our time
Yeah Social Media has really bring out the worst in people. They may look friendly online but in real life they are not as happy.
💯% & This video has totally changed my perspective towards social media I WAS WRONG and from now I had my decision. Thank you for sharing this!
I just deleted my social Media account last night..... Hope I turn my life to some good.
.. ❤️
Update?
@@h4ef4xfetch85the way I look at life is different now, social media constantly made me anxious about where I am at life even though I was doing exactly what I wanted to but since I've deleted social media long time ago and that I get plenty rest time now which I spent with myself... It made me realise to not consistently think about what to do next and just live in the present even if at times you don't feel you're going good but the anxiety is something which doesn't hit back and I'm happy at life .. we tend to compare ourselves subconsciously when we use social media which eventually makes you doubt your self worth so that is something which is improving I won't say I've completely been over self doubt....it is improving and I'm learning to be comfortable with the real me... It has also nullify the need to put up pictures or to do something for validation now it's simply if I want to I'll and if I don't I won't....
@@user-wx2fq1do9z Oh I see thank you.
I absolutely LOVE this channel.
people online, are fake. Lol
I'm glad i know the different. Real people live in the real world. 😁 i live in the real world. 😏😁
Milllwall FC1885 people including you are fake
Yeah I argee social media was fun at first but then you realized how fake everyone is
@@theelite5135 right
No one cares
Ikr I thought the same because online there are many bots
Great advice!! I used to be bad about comparing my life to others and had hundreds of FB friends and didn't know most of them. I eventually cleaned up my page and unfriended or unfollowed most of them including religious and political groups too. Now I mostly just follow things I'm into like music bands and sports. Tons happier!!
I quit social media a year ago. Completely focused on myself now. I am learning new things, finding my way out of anxiety and depression, constantly working on achieving my financial goals, and working on bettering my relationships.
So accurate... those were clean and precise statements! Thank you so much for sharing this information.
I just quit social media removed all apps yesterday i dont want look back i want look forward
Andrew James hey herr you are
1 year since you posted this. How is it going Andrew?
how is it going?
RUclips is a social media too
Same 😊
These animations are brilliant. So simple and straightforward but perfectly support the message.
I have already quit social media:-D
how are you on here then
I see the need for constant contact with my phones as a type of addiction that requires my detox SNS. If I spend too much time on my phone, obsessively checking the internet, social media, mail, or messages, it makes my feel bad…these things kind of message releases dopamine into my brains, making me feel not bad, and want more….But I sure feel better when the person I am with looks at me instead of their phone…❤️💖😘
I have deleted all my social media accounts 5 years back, never used insta, Snapchat .. trust me I am so so happy.
I have an art account on Instagram and i used to follow so many different artists that at some point, I was wondering if what I was doing was really art and if I was really good at drawing. I focused on likes and comments, telling myself that I didn't have enough reaction, maybe because I wasn't on top. That's when I realized that I was ruining my creativity and my talent. Sometimes I drew things that others liked rather than doing what I liked so I deleted the Instagram, facebook apps from my phone. I think it was a big waste of time and energy. Now, i Can freely create more and enjoy each piece.
I was thinking of making one art insta too, but now u changed mah mind :) thnx :)
Correction: Completely quitting social media does NOT make you a hermit!
I know I’m a millennial but I don’t care about social media to me it’s dumb the only thing you will really see are women exposing themselves JUST saying don’t at me
im a girl but yeah you're totally RIGHT omg
ikr, im a gen z and all my friends are on social media all the time. when we went to the mall instead of socializing they were just on social media!!!
As a genZ I couldn't agree more on this.
Ace Pezz I honestly feel for you guys! I’m 36 yrs old and could not imagine! I see females my age addicted and self conscious I could not imagine how Gen Z handles it. I wish u guys had the same experiences as I did ur age! Before the social media! U should have a talk with ur friends or have a no phone rule during certain hangouts or activities maybe. I know it’s hard and probably even harder to tell them but give it a shot
I deleted all of my social media accounts the beginning of this year (2022). It’s been a lot better since, the only part I don’t love as much is not having easy contact with people, since I don’t have snap or insta, I have to have phone numbers to contact people… however the upsides are astronomically better than the downsides. I didn’t have a clue how much of my life I was wasting on social media.
Thank u so much man for posting such content , it's so much beneficial for our mental health
Your channel is awesome.
I rarely ever comment on all the RUclips that I mindly/mindlessly watch, but I took the +20 seconds out of my day to whip up this comment because that’s how genuinely awesome your channel is.
Good video 😀
It is sad that a lot of people have allowed social media to use them as opposed to using it as a tool. I enjoy being in touch with my family overseas and simultaneously in touch with friends I’ve know since kindergarten that otherwise I would not be in touch with. I have met new friends who share my hobbies etc. Social Media is awesome & like everything else in this life is to be used in moderation if you want to remain healthy.
thank you so much for this video....really loved it
It's been more than 2 months since i quit social media. Be the best version of urself.
Yeah I hate social media because they runined my life, that's why I want to quit other websites because of bad people and other sites
Thank you so much for this.....this helped a lot!
Best advise! It really does take a toll....
I was suffering from a lot of problem, issues stress everywhere in every field.
I deeply thought about what's the truth cause reason behind ...I knew that social media is the reason ..and trust me guys I left all the social media app ..its use...life is so much simple ,easy and happy now ...like how it was in school days ...now I am concentrating only on my studies very properly and regularly and on my health...these two are ..what actually I should focus on..I knew few days ago...and I am so happy today 🥰🥰🤗🤗😊😊😊☺
It's hard to quit Facebook , it's very tempting ..... but from now onwards I will not used any social media except RUclips .... social media is making me crazy , stalking other people I don't know and don't want to know about , comparison, envying about others life real or fake ....most regretting is wasting time in taking photos to upload to show people I don't know...... social media is literally killing my time and health ....I will never ever use social media.
I left Twitter 4 years ago.
Ralph Marbler I left Twitter too.
I never install twitter, Facebook,insta,snapchat,worst thing ever tik tok n so many app except Whatsapp n RUclips.....😂
You are an amazing person, with or without social media. Most people haven't had it all figured out, don't worry. ❤️
Thank you so much for this content
Very nice video
When I check Instagram and see everyone leading their best lives, I get demotivated and also I spent a lot of time mindlessly scrolling so limiting social media usage is very important to me now
RUclips and Pinterest. These are the two apps that helps me and isn't really doing harm on my mental health. I like looking at art works, beautiful photographs in Pinterest. And then watching videos like this in RUclips.
Good video. The ending statement is a mazing and inspiring
U call it low self esteem and i agree... But its also jealousy as well
When I quit social media, I had control over my actions, listening to my mind , instead of listening to people on social media.
the best video ever
Thanks for this video... Nice explanation
Thanks a lot for portraying the actual truth.
Funny, I did exactly those things before seeing this video. It’s really working and I agree with the content.
Such a wonderful video. I have already started controlling myself by deleting fb for few days and in the process has reduced using it to a lot extent
Social media can make us do things we don't normally do.
It was really top notch video you have made... I usually not spend time too much in social media..n I m very happy to watch this viedo.. I'll sure share this viedo to all my friends...😄
So happy someone finally made a video about this.
Schopenhauer wrote: 'The worst of human kind is found in....SOCIETY'. And I add: 'The very worst is found on social media'. Let's just say it the way it is: it is unnecessary in the best of cases, and quite rotten in the worst ones, which is the majority of cases anyways. Seneca wrote the same thing 2000 years ago: 'Never compare your life to that of others'. 'Don't follow the crowd, for most people are doing all the wrong
things.' and 'when I come back home after I mixed with society, I come
back that I am meaner, greedier, and angrier.' Thanks for the great video.
Gr8 comment
I feel bad when I seen these extraordinary channel not growning but I want to say if your work hard and good some people will alway respect your hard work .
6:00, 8:07 Im not sure what shoud I do :D
Good channel, you deserve more subscribers
1 year - No Facebook , No Instagram.
Only RUclips.. that too add value to my life.
Life is so beautiful and valuable without social media. Now decided to not use them again.
great video, top quality.
Glad you enjoyed it. Also thanks for the coffee! :)
Social Media is a lot like Gambling, watching porn etc it can become addictive and destructable honestly most this shit is bad for everyone's mental health imo
It’s true, it definitely just deteriorated the minds of everyone
Today, your channel has been recommended to me by RUclips. It's awesome.
Hey I'm an Italian follower, very good and interesting video. I agree with your opinion but I'll still use social media because of their usefulness. But we have to be ware to not become addicted to them. Gratefully
It all depends on how we use it :)
great video!
I quit fb a year ago and I’ve completely changed. My inner voice is not as critical. SM turned me into a semi-narcissist. I would never go back. I have my own personal thoughts again - no obligation to share them.
being an introvert and live in abroad as an international student social media is my only way to interact with humans. though I hate it I rarely have another option to hear humans voice without social media. I have social anxiety and very little energy. but the problem is i can't even concentrate on my studies. I wish if I have a proper job so that my time will pass by in a productive way and I can maintain a proper routine. or maybe some friends whom I can talk whenever I want or don't feel to a human connection at all. i seriously want to get rid of those crap and focus on my career :(
Social Media should be a tool to communicate not a way of life. But everyone uses it incorrectly just like fire they end up hurting themselves instead of harnessing the energy of advertisement and marketing in social media. I've quitted most social media(except for YT) because I felt like there's no purpose to it is just giving money to billionaire to give you dopamine hits and then after that you feel terrible when you get off it.
RUclips is the only one I don’t think I could give up but at the same time if your watching people you actually like then I don’t think it should be a problem.
I've noticed and compared social media to real life but real life seems to feel better and social media can be so toxic with fake people and bots that's why you should be all real and not let this affect you
I never look at newsfeed. I use Facebook mostly to share posts concerning my cause. I manage my newsfeed so that only posts from pages that I like that appear there first, not ones from friends. And what I see first when I log in, if it is interesting and worth spreading, then I share it. But I determine to quit social media for a moment. It is my second day, and I feel awesome.
Great and inspirational video.. I just watched with my 12 years old.... thanks
RUclips is all i really need. Life use to be all about living it to the fullest and enjoying what you have. Now its about pride, ego inflation, Narcissism, wanting validation, comparining your life to other people, Cancel Culture, and copying what everybody else is doing. You could save a box if kittens, go to work, go to school, and sit at the coffee shop all day reading books and still feel like you're not living life right once you open up facebook or instagram and see people at parties and social gatherings. Nobody thinks for themselves anymore. Everyone is quick to believe in everything people says and create bandwagons. Popularity and wanting to be "hip and cool" is all that matters now. Once it becomes like Black Mirror where you need to have a 5 star rating to get a job, buy a house, rent a car, and go to places, its going to get messier out here. Not to mention, negativity and toxicity is all you see now. Nobody has anything nice to say anymore. Its always negative news about the world and people. "Covid-19 beware!", "XYZ is a racist! Cancel them!", "So and So is a pedo!".
To share your happiest moments with the world is amazing, but the most important is to have this true friend to share your worst days and to feel their support
I found this video now in my holiday from all social media apps, i deleted Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, messenger, telegram, and imo. Iam in my first week, i feel very relaxed and hapoy, Iam not worry about anything, i wake up early with full of energy and positively. I listen to music and watch videos on RUclips to develop my personality without pressure, i read book about human development and do more "Silence practice". I feel that i live in my own world and i see all other like in a fake world. My mental health is improving, my motivation is returning, and my self confidence is developing.❤️
Never liked facebook, never cared about snapchat / reddit / instagram / viber. I have always preferred audio networks instead, that being soundcloud and bandcamp, but Spotify only for certain details. Of all possible texting choices, I've only used Twitter, but even so, I would probably only check in for the first 30 seconds today, as I've become the most inactive user in all of humanity, whereas 5 years ago I would be doing something more active. Perhaps I only log on at all once every few months.
I would consider youtube pretty separated, because these texts we use here aren't actually texts, they are comments. With their purpose focusing on content, rather than communication.
This channel real opened my eyes to see new world ,
Thank u 1 million times ❤️♥️
Good insight. If you have control over your mind then these things are irrelevant.
Thank you 💘
The best advice!
Social media has stopped people from connecting in the real world. Although I met my wife on MySpace it has changed a lot since then.
I deactivated my Facebook in 2014. I recently got back on out of curiosity and realized that I had made the best decision to deactivate it
It was just yesterday that I deleted my whatsapp and telegram and haven't logged in to Facebook for months already (I have never had instagram) .... And I am very sure it will be the best decision I could ever take....
I am 18 ,and we are a happy living family with descent lifestyle and all facilities, getting spendthrift sometimes and all the fun. And most of all, I am the luckiest to have really supportive parents, they have encouraged all through my journey, and they have spent so much on my education that we could never have our own home. We live in a rental home. And seeing everyone in their beautiful homes,is the reason why I envy others most of the time. And recently I am going to have my medical exams , so I was very depressed seeing others, we had a telegram group and we discussed Questions and quizes there,so most of the I was depressed that I don't know anything,they have much more knowledge than me, but now I know that " IT'S OKAY IF I DON'T KNOW THINGS ,I WILL LEARN. IT'S OKAY THAT MY PARENTS COULDN'T BUY A BEAUTIFUL HOME, I WILL HAVE IT ONE DAY FOR MY PARENTS."
So basically quit social media if you want to really live your life and not just exist seeing the pseudo happy life of others. 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
I like how it’s only the older people that said they deleted it I’m 14 and I honestly don’t care for social media I have real friends that I see and that I can spend quality time with I only use social media to see where we gunna meet up at
All I need now is messenger and what's app for communication.
And RUclips for watching videos.. and I've never been happier tbh
Same!
@@fredricksmith2562 I have same aswell yh I rarely ever get phonecalls or texts anyway unless it's close family, work etc
