honestly, nicole, ever since you started saying that we should unfollow the people that make us feel bad on social media, I followed your advice and it actually worked so well. I don't even have instagram or twitter on my phone anymore, and I feel so much better, I don't even miss it. (btw that JCS youtube channel wow what is that and why can't I stop watching it) so yeah thanks for your advices and reminders, I'll go touch grass now.
@@Lukamodricpraviprofil there was a huge fight in the last episode. Trisha and Ethan have been releasing tweets and videos (check out a drama channel if you want details) now it looks like the podcast is over. 😓 I feel so sorry for Hila to have to go through all of this stress while she's pregnant.
normally I comment on Nicoles videos about how I've had a rough day and they're helping cheer me up, but today I had the most amazing day. i had 6 of my best friends over for my 18th, had pizza, made smores, listened to music and played cards against humanity and it was so amazing. I feel so full of love and happiness and am now watching this before I go to sleep, feeling inspired and knowing what's important in life, its not social media, its the people and nature around you, and Nicole is emphasising that in this video too!
The chaotic neutral energy is literally a vibe. Also, the way you talk into the microphone makes it feel like asmr or a podcast and I am living for it 🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
I also just deleted all my socials and honestly, it was such a weight lifted. I had no idea how much social media was actually bringing me down when I used it, it really is such a negative environment these days.
Oh gosh, starting your day with social media is terrible. One way I stopped that is just separating your phone far away from your bed in your bedroom and eating breakfast before checking it
i respect when any influencer or someone who works in the field of entertainment takes a break and gives themselves time because not only will you get criticism but your risking a lot that will effect your job. i cant even imagine what that type of pressure feels like. but were proud of u for doing what you feel you need to do for yourself and were glad your doing better 😊
nikki nasty, you've made me want to start going outside and maybe start running because i too, am sick of the internet and have decided i can't live like this anymore so thank u for this video, hope you have a lovely weekend
This is exactly why I stopped having a twitter account and a public insta. You can try as hard as you want but in others eyes you will always fall short. I just decided that what I think about myself is most important, and I found that I liked myself a lot more when I wasn’t under someone else’s microscope.
Honestly I stopped listening to it when they didn’t speak up about Palestine because they don’t get to be woke and activists and pick and choose whenever and whatever
@@Nayak-wi3wo you can’t expect every public figure to speak up. especially if they know they’re uneducated, it would be more irresponsible for them to make a video on it than to just stay silent
@@Nayak-wi3wo honestly ethan, as a jewish creator (coming from a fellow jew) should have. however i would HATE to hear trisha’s uneducated take on a human rights crisis.
These 2 months have been the best...My screen time reduced, I did interesting things other than to just sit and scroll on Instagram, reading more, working out more etc.. Not really a people person so didn’t have a lot going on insta and studying for medicine also does kinda help to keep me busy🙌😂 It was difficult in the beginning obviously..cause all my friends were upset over this, bribing me with memes and reels they couldn’t share🤦♀️😂 but there were also days when I literally forgot insta exists and that’s how I got used to it.
Everything has its drawbacks too.. here the only thing is that we just don’t know what’s going on in the world and are kinda late to all the stuff but I think it’s a small price to pay😂😂 Best of luck Mathilde and yes pls go for it, The start is what really stops people !! Once u start and delete everything.. I’m telling you your scrolling thumb and arched back is gonna get better😂😂😂
nicole: tell me why i'm a bad person also nicole: tells us to touch some grass, get some sunshine, celebrate sharing our lives with frogs it's the little joys in life
I'm really trying to stop wanting "more." It makes me feel unaccomplished, insecure, ugly, untalented, and lowkey worthless. Also I feel like I'm a bad person, and a good person, and if I'm putting my life online people are going to see both. Anyway, welcome back!
i honestly agree w you. social media has made me feel more insecure about myself. every since i deleted my twitter, instagram, snapchat, etc. i've felt such a weight off my shoulder. i feel more so much more relaxed. 10/10 RECOMMEND TOUCHING GRASS
I feel this so much. I want to throw my phone off a bridge. Yet it is so rare to connect with people in the real world because everyone is on the Internet, but connecting with people is so beautiful.
That is exactly what I feel right now. If I have my people to connect with in real life I would absolutely quit social media, or at least not be in it 24/7 but I don’t have that :(..
YESSSSS! i've been off for almost two months now. it's liberating. i feel so present each and every day. i'm able to get SO much shit done in a day. i get to take life in as it comes and not feel pressured to keep up with literally everything going on in the world at all times!!! we're not meant to be so constantly over stimulated. whew, it feels good.
I agree the internet has become so draining. I feel ashamed to feel this way but sometimes I just wish tik tok was how it used to be. When I could go on there and watch some funny videos and have a laugh. Now it’s all about terrible things happening in the world and political stuff. I feel so stupid saying this because I’m so privileged that none of these issues really affect me. I think these are important things that need to talked about and people are also aloud to express their political stances on things but idk it’s just a lot man.
Personally since starting online school in like 2017 all my social life has been online save for a couple musical theatre shows i did once a year. I have a complete hate love relationship with the internet but I literally don’t know how to function without it. Honestly this video was really cathartic watching someone just hang out with their friends and talk about how nice it was to take a break from the internet and social media. Maybe I will take a break this coming week. No online except for summer classes.
I think we all need a good social media cleanse after being stuck inside for a whole year. I've recently started walking/running and I feel so much better as well!
Nicole, a bad quality of you is that you put me to sleep during your podcasts because I find you extremely comforting. This is hard for me because I seek you out for comfort and then bam it’s 7 am, I forgot to set an alarm and I don’t even remember closing my eyes the night before. I have missed 2 days of late night study sessions. My fault, not yours lol I love your podcasts, one puts me to sleep and the other one wakes me up because BFF energy calls for a lot is laughter and squealing. It’s the perfect balance, thanos would be proud. Thank you.
my bestie moved away last year so i am so sorry i feel your pain i feel like people dont acknowledge this pain but platonic relationships are just as important as romantic
I went on a 7-days-hike a few weeks ago and "had to" do it social-media-free (because there is not internet in some parts of french countryside) and that was just amazing. Just amazing. It was very hard at first because you learn how to to be bored, how to spend time with yourself for real. And also starting conversation with strangers in real life (so hard so hard so haaard) But that was just amazing and nature is the best therapy ever. I always found it really weird when the people we follow on the internet live the same situations as us, same mood etc,and I sincerly hope that you feel better now (and your mom too, of course, and your cat as well). It's been a tough year, thank you for being here Nicole, take care of yourself. (btw, I tried my best with the writing but I'm not a native english speaker and i think you can tell but I tried) (idk why i've written all of this i usually never comment on videos but anyway, i wish you all an extremely wonderful day)
Honestly I recommend everyone do this for a solid while (not just a week) at least once in their life. It's really not healthy to expect yourself to stay tapped in all the time
yeah i so agree at least try to do it for 30 days without it phone included in some ways (btw if you guys are interested in this topic y’all can read the book “digital minimalism” by cal newport! he’s got a good way for this) ✨
@@nicolegenerale yeah it takes a while to get past the withdrawal and really experience the benefits. Some people that don't try for long enough end up not seeing the point
i really cant believe im saying this but this is my favorite vlog of all time. like I genuinely can say nothing can compare to how this vlog can comfort me, feels like a crying laughing hug from a friend while having a breakdown.
lmao, i like how in the first 5 seconds she plugs her social media (in all honesty, i totally agree with this video and i really like it. i literally just deleted instagram and tiktok today)
This is such a beautiful video. I've been thinking about taking a social media break for a while now, or just technology break in general. I find myself feeling gross with the amount of time I waste scrolling through instagram or watching youtube. I specifically remember the time I felt best in my life was when I focused on myself and the real world outside of technology, and developed a routine. I really want to get that back and this video was perfectly timed. I feel even more motivated to do so, hope you continue to enjoy all that you've been doing!!
i know that this video is different than the others you usually do, but I LOVE IT!! it kinda feels like a life update and chit chat with a friend of mine, quality content.
I feel sorry for whatever happened. Cuz even being a small creator I’ve been through this. Really do appreciate being open and talking about these. ❤️🥺
I think about the whole curating your feed thing so often. Thank you for reminding me of small ways I can have power over my life when everything seems to be spiraling. You are great and I'm glad you were able to escape the toxicity of the internet for a while. Going on social media is such a chore. Either I'm getting dragged down by comparison or just seeing that another awful thing has happened in the world. What used to be my tool for avoidance and escapism is now something I avoid and run from. I get on socials way less (mainly Insta) and rarely watch people's stories on Snap. Basically if you don't snap me or text me we won't be speaking lol.
Watching this after seeing your video on how to stop caring about what other people think was so relatable and realistic. Nothing more important than tuning in with yourself and connecting again with nature, so what you did is amazing and truly admirable. The internet can be such a dark place and taking time off is something everyone would benefit from. Keep doing you and taking care of yourself, going to therapy is a great way to do so, along with gym and nature and everything else you mentioned :) And try not to care about others' mean comments or dms, they are not worth it (check your video again on not caring about others' opinions, just like you told us to when we are feeling down ;)
Thank you for this, I deleted the apps off my phone 3 days ago, and it feels so refreshing. You motivated me, we love self-care. anyway, love u girl you're my favorite
I truly love your videos, youre one of the very few yourtubers who are close to my age that have taught me alot and gave me amazing perspective on life in general. I wish you the best and know that im here to stay and always supporting you.
this video made me so happy and plss honey all the people who critise you for not being perfect enough should look in their mirror (that i sure hope they thrifted cuz otherwise they are a bAd PeRsOn)
Honestly, I can relate. I literally started unfollowing people and I feel so much better. Like you really can’t please everyone and I’m glad you mentioned that! It’s nice watching and listening to your videos that are so relatable! You’re doing great girl 💕✨ happy for you and glad you point out the things people need to hear/ do!
I feel u!!! I feel like I’m over social media, it’s not the same as it once was and I don’t think it will be- I feel like in the future people are going to see it similar to smoking where a lot of people quit and know it’s bad for them.
I uninstalled Instagram and Facebook a month ago, and I feel so happy... I started playing basketball again, started reading books, started painting *(I used to love reading books and painting. I stopped because of social media probably)* instead of mindlessly scrolling through Instagram and wasting my time and it feels so good. Started focusing more on my studies... So if anyone is thinking of quitting social media for some time, just do it. Trust me, You won't miss out on anything, It will feel better...
I am so glad you found activities to help you with your mental health! I have been working on small art projects to help with my depression and it has helped a lot, specially when I have a rough time during the summer (:
Nicole i’m glad you took some time for yourself. That’s really important. i’m also proud that you started therapy again. that’s a big step to take. lots of love!
i too hate social media...i use it a lot when my mental health is bad in order to numb/distract myself, but i felt so good without it that i know i need to go back to cutting it out. im getting there...brains are so weird
I know a lot of people already said the same buuut... YOU ARE MY COMFORT RUclips. Your videos are like a short break from everything and I love it! Thank you so much :)
I love this video!! It's great hearing that you're doing good, and doing things food for yourself. The internet is toxic. Grass is amazing! I've been getting out there on hikes more too, doing more stuff I wanna do. It's been helping me in the same way it's helping you
Good decision! I deleted all social media platforms but RUclips my sophomore year of high school 4 years ago and I haven’t gone back since. It’s funny because people even think that it’s weird that I don’t have Snapchat, as if being human necessitates having social media. To those reading this who still have social media, just try to go a day without it once and see how you feel. Wish the best, AJ
Girl ily I don’t comment a lot but I watch all your videos and let me tell you, you are doing great, you owe nothing to the haters they do not need explanations from you. Keep being awesome
Nicole idc what brand your hiking boots are I’m just glad you are taking the time to find joy with life! I am currently trying to do the same thing like at least making sure I leave my house for a little bit every day and as always you are an inspiration. Stay safe! :)
this video was so magical to watch, you're one of my top 3 youtubers that made my pandemic experience way better, and watching you feel all the joy you made me feel through your videos is just amazing, thank you for everything💗!!!
the thing I hate the most about you is that when I’m trying to have a bad day and be down in the dumps your videos always make me feel better like how disrespectful is that
NICOLE!! The negative comments are just from people who aren’t a tenth as cool as you! You’re amazing and calming and extremely resilient. Ik this sounds like fangirl but it’s all the truth. Enjoy ur grasssss
We have to remember that we can't please everyone and even though your job may be reliant on others on the internet you have to do what's best for you! Also, I am really glad that you were able to reconnect with nature, friends, other activities you love, and a therapist. You do you!
I have to use IG for promoting my art but I've unfollowed all the people that makes me feel uninspired/unhappy and it's made such a huge difference for my mental heatlh! If you have acquaintances/family that you would feel guilty unfollowing remember you can just mute their posts. I also highly recommend getting an app that blocks other apps of your choice for a specific time interval daily (I use Stay Focused and I can only use IG between 5pm to 8pm but there's lots of other options like block after a certain number of launches etc)
Really felt this!! Social media was a big part of my teen years (in a positive way!) but now unfortunately most platforms have evolved into making you feel terrible the second you log on. I've been off it for 24 hours and already feel better
I recently found you and you helped me so much. I am so glad because my mental health has gotten slightly better because of you. You are like the best friend I've never had. I hope you are good. I love you. stay safe. -xoxo
if you let other people define you (people saying that you're a bad person) then they will! I know it's hard but try to not consume your thoughts with negativity, cause you will become negative.
“I quit social media” *first part of the video is promoting her socials* (I’m kidding I love you)
Lol
Youre plants are poison for ur cat😁 I love ur videos:)
honestly, nicole, ever since you started saying that we should unfollow the people that make us feel bad on social media, I followed your advice and it actually worked so well. I don't even have instagram or twitter on my phone anymore, and I feel so much better, I don't even miss it.

Ok but if we all quit social media for a little bit or took regular breaks imagine how much better the world would be.. jus sayin

yes girl you couldn't had worded it better ..
The way individual women are upheld to an impossible standard of perfect social consumption, but no one mentions the brands themselves drives me nuts
I'm sorry for your woes. No one deserves to be harmed emotionally or physically. People can be mean. Be a light.
i honestly agree w you. social media has made me feel more insecure about myself. every since i deleted my twitter, instagram, snapchat, etc. i've felt such a weight off my shoulder. i feel more so much more relaxed. 10/10 RECOMMEND TOUCHING GRASS

listening to Nicole at 1.5 speed really stimulates the noggin
i haven’t even watched the video complete yet but just from the title i can say i whole heartedly agree

It’s good to take a break from social media. Leaving social media is better because it helps your mental health.
I’m not k-wording myself simply out of spite

YOU LOOK SO GOODDD,, and happyy. And im jealous of how many plants are in your room. i hope you're doing better
I uninstalled Instagram and Facebook a month ago, and I feel so happy... I started playing basketball again, started reading books, started painting *(I used to love reading books and painting. I stopped because of social media probably)* instead of mindlessly scrolling through Instagram and wasting my time and it feels so good. Started focusing more on my studies...
So if anyone is thinking of quitting social media for some time, just do it. Trust me, You won't miss out on anything, It will feel better...
I am so glad you found activities to help you with your mental health! I have been working on small art projects to help with my depression and it has helped a lot, specially when I have a rough time during the summer (:
Nicole i’m glad you took some time for yourself. That’s really important. i’m also proud that you started therapy again. that’s a big step to take. lots of love!
i too hate social media...i use it a lot when my mental health is bad in order to numb/distract myself, but i felt so good without it that i know i need to go back to cutting it out. im getting there...brains are so weird
So glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about the internet rn❤️
I know a lot of people already said the same buuut... YOU ARE MY COMFORT RUclips. Your videos are like a short break from everything and I love it! Thank you so much :)
I love this video so much!!! I was unnecessarily stressed out today and it calmed me! Thanks! ❤
I love this video!! It's great hearing that you're doing good, and doing things food for yourself. The internet is toxic. Grass is amazing! I've been getting out there on hikes more too, doing more stuff I wanna do. It's been helping me in the same way it's helping you
Good decision! I deleted all social media platforms but RUclips my sophomore year of high school 4 years ago and I haven’t gone back since. It’s funny because people even think that it’s weird that I don’t have Snapchat, as if being human necessitates having social media. To those reading this who still have social media, just try to go a day without it once and see how you feel. Wish the best,
AJ
Ok, I don't know what happend but this is one of the best videos I have seen from this girl and it was hilarious. thank you for today's content
Girl ily I don’t comment a lot but I watch all your videos and let me tell you, you are doing great, you owe nothing to the haters they do not need explanations from you. Keep being awesome
This video is so good. The nasty-narrator-microphone-holding-nikki is my new religion
Clem is so pretty! Her colors and patterns she is so beautiful!
exactly how i feel and what i'm currently going through rn, LOVE YOU
ALSO "I WALK THIS EARTH ALL BY MYSELF" ???? 10/10 MUSIC TASTE
love you too!
seeing you happy really made me happy and inspired me i love you
Awwww this is so awesome!!! I’m so glad it was a good break. I hope it keeps going up from here!
Nicole idc what brand your hiking boots are I’m just glad you are taking the time to find joy with life! I am currently trying to do the same thing like at least making sure I leave my house for a little bit every day and as always you are an inspiration. Stay safe! :)
this video was so magical to watch, you're one of my top 3 youtubers that made my pandemic experience way better, and watching you feel all the joy you made me feel through your videos is just amazing, thank you for everything💗!!!
When someone asks, "How are you? No, how are you really?? No, how's your explosive diarrhea???"
U kno they care 😔👌
the thing I hate the most about you is that when I’m trying to have a bad day and be down in the dumps your videos always make me feel better like how disrespectful is that
NICOLE!! The negative comments are just from people who aren’t a tenth as cool as you! You’re amazing and calming and extremely resilient. Ik this sounds like fangirl but it’s all the truth. Enjoy ur grasssss
I love your outro so much I watched a whole ad just to listen to it instead of clicking out of the video
Ugh watching this made me so happy :’) ! I love this journey for you ❤️❤️❤️
We have to remember that we can't please everyone and even though your job may be reliant on others on the internet you have to do what's best for you! Also, I am really glad that you were able to reconnect with nature, friends, other activities you love, and a therapist. You do you!
I’m convinced the mic made you extra funny idk how to explain it. You’re always funny but like you’re right
I have to use IG for promoting my art but I've unfollowed all the people that makes me feel uninspired/unhappy and it's made such a huge difference for my mental heatlh! If you have acquaintances/family that you would feel guilty unfollowing remember you can just mute their posts. I also highly recommend getting an app that blocks other apps of your choice for a specific time interval daily (I use Stay Focused and I can only use IG between 5pm to 8pm but there's lots of other options like block after a certain number of launches etc)
your room looks DELIGHTFUL
I loved the energy you gave off in this video, I mean in all your videos, you always make me feel safe :D
merry christmas everyone 🖤
thank you for uploading lol 🖤
Really felt this!! Social media was a big part of my teen years (in a positive way!) but now unfortunately most platforms have evolved into making you feel terrible the second you log on. I've been off it for 24 hours and already feel better
I recently found you and you helped me so much. I am so glad because my mental health has gotten slightly better because of you. You are like the best friend I've never had. I hope you are good. I love you. stay safe.
-xoxo
i love you more!!!
omg nicole you're just so relatable
I-I cant even ilysm❤❤
you bring me so much comfort. i don’t even know what else to say besides thank you for expressing things like this.
This video made me happy :) Please always take a break when you need one because I know the internet can be a lot to handle
this is such a lovely vid omg the serotonin I got from all that footage of nature was so ✨ I also deleted Instagram for a while and felt much lighter!
i love you so much. you literally made my day and i'm not even kidding. thankyouuuu
beautiful video Nicole
i love you. i am vegan because of you. i now feel very drawn to turn my life around and get out of my depression.
if you let other people define you (people saying that you're a bad person) then they will! I know it's hard but try to not consume your thoughts with negativity, cause you will become negative.
