Don't forget what social media has done with dating. My generation has no self esteem and everyone is insecure. Its a mess lol.
in the 90s we just met in a club or in a gym or something really normal
+you cant leave this empty l dont know if you meant me but im 37 so from around same generation as you, what l worry about is what it does to the kids like at 13 my kid is beating her self up that she doesnt look like kylie jenner and my kid is a real natural beauty, were white irish but still social media will make her question why she doesnt have broad hips and a massive ass, l explain that thats fat transfer but these images are more powerful than me or my cousin whos a plastic surgeon convincing her that none of it is real
It's only the men like that, women (even fat ones) have guys flocking with tons of approval to their photos
Jake Mitch bro that doesn’t mean they’re not insecure. They are movie stars with millions of dudes drooling over them and they still get plastic surgery, botox, fillers, all that shit...why? Because they’re insecure about parts of their body and face. Social media has made 90% of people in my generation selfed out lol.
@@greenthizzle4 Most of those girl are on social media at such high frequency because they have low self esteem. They get dopamine hits everytime you like or comment on their picture and literally become addicted. Constantly seeking out validation online from people you don't know is a very bad trait to have. Unfortunately many women today have this issue lol.
Social Media made us:
-Divided
-Materialistic
-Ungrateful
-Disconnected
-Disgusting
-Depressed
-Anxious
-Suicidal
-Insecure
-Cowardly
-Narcissistic
-Egotistical
-Meanspirited
-Fake
-Sensitive
-Lazy
-Dumb
It made us everything but:
-Smarter
-Happier
-Social (Ironic)
-Connected
Don't forget judgemental
@@TheBlackDot00 LOL
Now youre just writing a list of negative features that dont all necessarily have to do with social media. Stop exaggerating, not every single problem you have is caused by social media. People just have to find something to blame when shit goes wrong.
@@jaymills6691 "Stop blaming social media for when shit goes wrong" even though that's obviously what social media has turned us into. Narcissistic, Meterialistic, Depressed, Suicidal, Ungrateful, and so on. Once again, i made my comment from observation.
@@jaymills6691 lol this comment. You clearly haven't been around much. Social Media DID make us all into this and you basically proved a point at how it made us egotistical and such. Just because, you don't see the bigger picture, doesn't mean everyone in this comment section is wrong. Been suffering from Depression getting attacked and harassed constantly by trolls because I have Autism and weird interest. I've been contemplating suicide after being told multiple times to go kill myself. Had to quit Discord, Twitter, and Facebook because of toxicity. I learned to get out more. Social Media made us materialistic. Thinking we need Gucci belts and air pods and latest game console to be happy. Fakeness is all you see online. People playing pretend. Taking selfies with filters and such.
4 years ago I deleted my social media. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Did I lose 99% of my friends and felt a senses of alienation? Yes. I was lonely and felt isolated for 6-7 months. Would I do it again? 💯 Totally because I got to work on myself, since I have so much time, I workout everyday, read books everyday, learned to cook, eat heathy, save money the list goes on. But Most importantly I am just happy and at peace. Social media robbed that from me. I’m glad people started talking about this.
Damn
damn, i dont really know how to work on myself but im trying to work on that(with a little help from social media). good luck with your journey :)
I'm so happy for you.
Everything you said there man is legit how I feel now
Same actually, 4 and a half years now but didn’t lose friends or felt isolated. I think as long as you surround yourself with quality people, your quality of life will only improve disconnecting yourself from social media unless your career requires it. This video summarizes essentially one of the reasons I made a decision to be inactive. Another is it hindered my productivity and enabled my habit of procrastination.
I’m 12 and I feel so lonely being the only child who doesn’t like/have social media, almost everyone at my school tells me how much I’m missing out...sometimes I wanna play with my friends outside or just talk like a normal human being, but my friends are too busy taking the perfect picture for Instagram or making the perfect video for tik tok :(
Edit: Im 14 now and goddamn these replies are the sweetest, ya'll restore my faith in humanity 💜
Natalia, you will get the benefits of it a little later in life. Being away from social media is a good thing in the long run. Keep at it. Don't feel bad for not being on it, trust me, you are living the real life. :)
It’s always the same. Everyone who has social media tell people who don’t they are missing out, when in reality, they are missing out on life. Keep at it, I recently made the transition and I can tell you that I feel way more connected with the world.
Well kid, the only social media that it is worth your time, are the instant messaging ones... This are the only one that you can interact with people, and perhaps being in a group can help you catch up in many subjects they might be talking.... But to be honest.. it is much better to talk about those things in person, have real interactions... Otheriwse everybody knows everything already.. when you get together, there is nothing to talk about..
So in general, just stay away from most of social media, you are doing great!
Dont worry my friend. Social media is a waste of time. (for example, imagine how much people could accomplish f they ditched social media and worked on innovating.)
Same here. I don't like social media, video games, etc. And I'm just 19. I want to play outside and have real talk. But most of my friends are addicted to these and I feel lonely. But still, I'm just happy to be me and not flow with the tide. I would rather be dead than live in this virtual prison.

No meat but why? I get not store bought meat.
I don't know how you did the no meat, that's hard. I also GAINED weight because of my jobs and I hardly use social media. But I'm there with you on the rest. Good work!
Yeah man
I think social media has made people narcissistic, superficial etc. people need to just humble themselves I think.
What You said does not match You profile.
In my opinion, social media hasn't necessarily MADE people narcissistic and superficial.
But it does ALLOW narcissism and superficiality to be expressed and paraded.
Absurdist Lemon it’s the worst and everyone is ok with it. Like sheep ..
It has not "made" us anything but it has revealed the huge number of beauties outside and uglies inside.
Mila_Diaz
I truly think that the Kardashians/Jenners are responsible for 80% of that normalized superficiality. Most women and, more importantly most girls, do their hair and makeup/contouring and their “body goals” the way Kim Kardashian popularized - like, even that Sophia girl who was always on the Ellen show rapping. Very different from the more natural looks of the 90s and 00s. It’s a mental illness.
People act like I'm insane when I tell them I don't have facebook, instagram, or twitter.
Omg same
RUclips is a social media
@@jaimelespuces wow what an insightful thought, my mind is blown...
@@jaimelespuces good point
@@jaimelespuces theres always people like this light dude. Fishing for responses. Fuckin nimrod.
Social media has also help cause alot of relationships failures, breakups and divorce.
Lol. That would be porn that causes your quote. Families are broken and children are brainwashed and mentally broken because of specific apps. Worldwide kids are watching other kids and 20 somethings act and dress certain ways. That has caused the demise of young culture no matter where you from. If it wasn’t for certain apps the lifestyle of all of this mixed up kids with gender and trans thoughts would have ever been pushed as hard as we see and we’d be a happier place and happier people
Nah your opinion is wrong Relationship improves when we meet new people
@@bradpalmer6211 totally agree with you 💯
Also depression and insecurity
Fr yes
I deleted my Instagram & Facebook social media accounts recently. I feel amazing: I'm incredibly focused, productive, rested, I cook 2-3 times a day, my mental health is strong, my relationships with family and friends have deepened and the projects I'm working on for my community have taken greater focus and shape.
Myrna De Jesus RUclips is social media
@@thaintriguing1 hardly in the same mannor as facebook or insta. Facebook is comparing your life to random people what they do on a daily basis, insta is basically memes and fan pages of celebs, then you hop on youtube to see some interesting videos etc, there are so many talented channels i find youtube to be mostly imformative and there is also memes and jokes as well. I agree it is technically social media, in the sense that people like and comment and share the content but the content is not really people posing for pictures or embellishing their lives (for the majority of people with a yt account) huge numbers of people on yt dont even have any uploaded content they just view others content to enjoy.
I wish that everything was taken down like facebook etc and the only thing left is RUclips but with yt that they remove the like button.
Oh I wanna do the same. So what did you do you deleted the apps or the acounts?
I need to keep the acounts as I share my work there as an artist. But... Maybe I could just delete the apps and just login into my acounts once a month.
Is that what you did?
@@YFL.111 I deactivated the accounts which means that no one could see any of my content so it appears that I deleted everything. They're only deactivated which gives me access to my photos. I haven't decided if I'll ever be active again on any of the apps (IG and Facebook).
It's been a really nice vacation but I do kinda miss IG.
@@fivenotewonder agree. RUclips is the only social media I use anymore and I rarely use it as social media. I learn so much from YT videos.
I deleted all of my social media apps two months ago and I’ve literally never felt more alive and happy. It was the best decision I’ve made
Truly said same the way I felt!
What major change did you notice?
Can I add you on facebook...? I like your personality. :)
:)
Deleted IG and definitely feel a lot better. I do miss posting about delicious food bit def don't miss comparing myself to my friends and feeling competitive
Amy M Amen sister . I did the same thing and I must say I feel so much better not having to see what a bunch of strangers I don’t even know have for breakfast or lunch . I’m more focused on the things in front of me so to speak .
This is so true. When I started growing on social media it trapped me into comparing myself to the A listers and making me feel horrible. I started watching more videos like these and realizing that Social Media is such a small part of the world.
Social media will always make people feels "less" than others.
Same here .. I became a wreck.. felt like a loser .. I had this horrible comparisons
The internet itself has destroyed the world. Parents allowing and paying for strangers to raise their kids. TV used to be the "stranger in the house"......now the strangers are in your kids bedrooms.
@@americansfirst1095Not just the bedroom, the strangers follow everyone around 24/7.
I stopped using it
As a 2000's baby, I can't agree more with this video. Social Media has become literal junk food for your brain. And now we have children using Social Media and getting targeted by creeps and pedophiles. When I was a kid, I didn't have a phone or a tablet. I actually spent most of my time outside riding my bike, playing with chalk, and hanging out with the kids on my street. And I was happy. Didn't care for MySpace, or Facebook, or Twitter. I didn't get my first phone til I was 15. And that was to make emergency calls to my mom just in case I got sick or needed medicine. Now you have kids around my niece's age throwing tantrums in the middle of Apple stores for iPhones.
can totally relate to this
Can't agree more. Born in 2001.
Man I miss life pre social media.
Take me back to your time, when life was more peaceful 🤕
Angelo Jackson now I see teen posting like their strippers or models like fix up your 15 and your doing all this to impress people is stupid
dsav 24z ikr like go read a fuckin book or some shit
So true: *We compare our behind the scenes, with someone else's highlight reel*
Keshav Bhatt yep! I went back on FB after 2.5 years of no social media. Now I’m depressed again
Keshav Bhatt no WE dont... some of us never “went with the flow”, majority of “cool folks” still think us normies are “lame af”. I’m actually a lone wolf 🤷🏻♂️

Getting rid of FB was the best thing I ever did for my mental health.
Same actually...honest...thanks to my psychologist recommendation...:)
Same here!
Yeah FCK the book, the gram and all
I never had Facebook and I'm happier for it. Most people use it as a way to hide insecurity and has been the most mentally damaging thing in our society today. We did not evolve to connect solely through screens, we are tribal animals.
facebook is a practical way to stay in touch with your friends and family, other than that i dont use fb for anything else, i rarely post anything, and if i do its so that i can write down whats in my head and save it for later, which is healthy
I quit social media two weeks ago! Best decision I’ve made in my life.
How did you do it ,I cant 😭😭😭and I'm pretty sure my mental health is becoming worse because of Instagram and facebook
@@chonkycat9033 I just did lol. make a decision, replace them with something else. I spend more time on quota and youtube now. My mental health has really improved!
@@chonkycat9033 just delete ur account, and than uninstall app
Lol 1 thing must kill a man if its not social media it will be something else don't be a hypocrite
@@chonkycat9033 This is what you do...
Just uninstall the app and get busy with something else,it'll help you.
I was born in 1990 and even I remember when kids were still kids, playing outside. Family would get together. Yeah the internet was starting to take off but it wasn't quite mainstream. Hell, the first smartphone did not come out until I was pretty much grown. Now, I'm 30 an single. Its hard to connect with people because of all this social media crap. I value being traditional NOT high-tech.
Same for me, never give up sister
Same here, even though I love technology and it’s progression.
Same
You and I are on the same page. I too am a kid of the 1990s and I used to ride my bike as a way to socialize with other kids. Oh and I played with toys and less time on “tablet games”
Technology is amazing but how we use it is disgusting.Them disassociating with reality and escaping into virtuality is the fault of their parents. For example, arabs still play outside for most of their childhood, though im sure this is slowly changing.
I deleted all my social medias. It really is a useless waste of time. I never understood why you would have to post every single moment of your life to the public
That's one of the things I legit don't comprehend at all. Who even feels the need to do that shit. Do you really think you're so important you need to post a picture of your lunch?
Attention...unless used for business purposes
😝
This is interesting ily and casket debated the thing on there debatable99 channel. You should check it out. They go at it!

Even older people are hooked on social media like Facebook & craving for likes and attention. It’s really disgusting and disturbing
Social media these days is just a bunch of angry boomers and soccer moms⚽
People are people old or young just because someone is older doesn’t always make them wiser there’s some young people more mature than older people so I’m not surprised that some older people crave likes on social media
Sarah Carr yeah that’s true
Fake life
And its spilling onto children too. Rather have a phone than a barbie doll.
I miss the 90s and early 00s I couldn’t wait to go out or hang out with my friends. I wasn’t scared of being myself because everyone was different and that was actually a good thing. Being at home was nice you would actually think about things rather then being distracted by your smartphone or the internet. TV movies actors was great back then but we still got bored and went out. We were enjoying the moment now you go to a concert or even a restaurant and people would whip their phones out. We all talked to each other and enjoyed having conversations. We were creative and adventurous. Now everything we see or talk about is from the internet. We literally stopped using our brain. What’s worst is most of us who remember the amazing times we had without internet are also addicted to it, even when we know we’re miserable. The government got us by our balls now because they have all our data including our location what we like watch and feel. Corporations getting richer of this data, eventually all our income will be controlled and deducted whenever the government wants. Now AIs are coming into play as well. We all need to step and and think about where we’re heading because it’s only been a couple of years with this technology and it’s already messing us up. Funny thing is, we all thought we’ll get connected to each other with the internet but we’re so disconnected from each other.
Damn true...
That’s so true. Wish we could go back to the 70s,80s,90s and early 00s.
@@clairehoskin7632, What about the late 00s and the early 10s? Yes I know that most of those modern social media sites existed back in the late 00s and the early 10s. But they were very new sites back then and had far less the amount of users active then it is today.
@@seanvasquez523 well yeah that’s true. I’ll add the late 00s and the early 10s into the mix as well.
The government and corporations having your data and doing whatever they want isn’t a new thing btw.
This is exactly why I don’t have social media. If I did, I would start comparing myself to others and feeling miserable. For example, if I saw a picture of my friends doing something fun, I would have FOMO (fear of missing out).
I had deleted my Instagram, twitter, and Facebook, 4-5 years ago, still alive.
Teach us you ways!
@@AfterSkool just delete it, and keep breathing.
Next is Myspace!
I too don't use any social media. 😋

We’re literally living in those episode of black mirror
Spot on!
Wow great analogy man!
Oh yeah. The one were the people lived their lives based on likes. Couldn't agree more.
@@Vetaul huh? I dont understand
Best Kinda Mess bro why you think its called black mirror the tv is the black mirror but you can only see it if you dont turn it on
We've reached the point where people, quite literally, spend more time on their phones than they do experiencing 'real life'. Social media, podcasts, pornography, dating apps, etc. have all lead us to believe that there are more interesting things in our phones than in reality. As a result, we don't invest time in getting to know people and having real social interactions. Even when young people do go for a coffee, they're often sitting opposite each other, immersed in their phones. It's a sickness, and is naturally causing us to feel anxious and depressed.
Sad but very true
I hope the metaverse won't be next...
I was at new years fireworks, and every single person around me was filming them, then loads of posts on our cities facebook was filled with firework videos. It's a weird time to be alive, when people are more interested in capturing a moment for others then enjoy it for themselves. Our time on this planet is so short, live in the moment people.
Agreed! Instead of simply living the moment, and being present, people must “document “ and prove and show to others that they were there, for the purpose of getting attention for being there?? Sad. Same with concerts, sooo many people are now recording most of the show on their phone, so again they’re not at a concert to enjoy it, it’s mostly to get attention from others that they were there
I don’t have any social media and I feel amazing.
Watch podcasts
Quit drinking
Barely smoke
Cut off toxic people/family
2020 is my year
get it!
i unfortunately can't give up drinking, i love my red wine way too much!😅
I quit drinking myself. Feel healthy as I ever felt.
luis felipe azevedo Giacomin i don’t think he means his entire family, just the toxic ones such as a certain sibling, cousin, uncle whatever just not his whole family
luis felipe azevedo Giacomin
I’m sure you know the term “narcissist “
That’s what part of my family is and I’ve cut them out of my life. They’re poison in your life if you let them stay there. There’s no changing them and they don’t care for anyone...only for their own self. They’re insecure as hell, evil, twisted. I don’t need that 💩in my life anymore. I’ve had friends and dogs that treat me better than they do....
Is it?
My advice : Use social media to educate yourself on things you like and enjoy don’t follow negative people rather follow people who motivate you to do better. Most importantly keep the circle small
Great words!!! Agreed.
Yeah
thats great! I always worried that if I give up Instagram for example, that I would also have to give up my news sources, art references and inspiring musicians etc. But your right, it makes sense to just strip away the negative bullshit and keep the good
But you’re still checking it, and every time you check it is a time you could be doing something else more productive.
Just dont wasted your time with people, that arent around you in real life
Social Media Needs To Be Banned! It had ruined people’s lives. The world was once at peace. I wish it could go back to that
If so then would you be also willing to shutdown all Including RUclips where you are In now? =)
You are deluded if you ever thought the world was at peace one. Maybe inside you, your ignorance made you feel peaceful. We are always trying to escape reality. We can never escape reality. The only peace is coming to terms with that truth inside your self.
At peace? What century did that take place in?🤣🤣
When was the world at peace? I missed that part.
First off no not all social media is bad just the cancerous ones like Facebook, instagram and TikTok.
Deleting Instagram was the best decision for myself. If you’re on the fence, do it! So much happier!
police knocking on my door "ive done my time"
Everyone wants to be a celebrity, everyone wants to move in a big city to flex on their hometown facebook friends, everyone wants to travel the world and be a model. "LiViNg My BeSt LiFe"
You dont need to do all of these things to live a great life
100% agree. And nobody is living their best life 100% of the time. That's just what they want everyone to see.
Not everyone, if you are not happy with out money, you will be unhappy with money, and can you cope with fame? You won't be able to find peace and quiet for uour self, everyone will chase after you won't leave you alone.
I live in a city of 1 million and I’d love to have a Country home somewhere one day. I’m the opposite of your comment. It goes both ways depending on where you’re from
Yeah. All you have to do is win the lottery, pay Elon a million to travel through deep space and you get to die having seen the Earth from space and the moon up close. That is the true meaning of a fulfilled life imo
Amen
As unnatural as loneliness may seem, I've given up on trying to socialize. I have no desire to waste time. It's meaningless when people don't have any sense of humanity about themselves.
You can't build anything with broken souls who are consumed by their egos..
Right now, I'm just focused on living out my dreams and aspirations. Well on my way to become a physical chemist.
Zero FB, zero Instagram. Zero trash ass people.
Life is good.
Ikr, everything you say seems to not matter to them, maybe i'm boring, but they can't just sit and listen for one minute, i had better conversations with Alexa
I agree, and I am in the same boat. I don't think the same way that people think, I can't share my dreams, aspirations, and ideas with the people of my generation. The more I try to socialize, the more I feel like an outcast. Intellectualism has no place in today's society. Everything is about me, me, me. People purposely dumb themselves down to get approval. No humility, no sense of self, no one cares about anyone else but themselves. I want to help other people. I want to work with the homeless and people who cannot provide for themselves. There is certainly no place for that on my IG feed.
@@sweetupbaaby1903 Fk. I don't even want to talk about myself or my feelings, just a nice conversation about a random thing would be enough, i feel like people have their friends already and i have no use to them.
@@sweetupbaaby1903 You should unfollow people that don't help you grow or understand you lol. I left socials 3 days ago and its great
@@zekenacho I deleted snapchat, facebook, and IG a few months ago and never looked back. Ok...once I did, lol I reactivated IG the other day to see if I was missing anything...I'm definitely not. The problem with following people who don't help or understand me...means I unfollow everyone. Literally. I don't know how I ended up in such a dysfunctional group of friends, but I have nothing in common with them. I have always been a loner even with friends, but now I'm really a loner.
One of the biggest catalysts to this is I went to rehab and quit drinking and doing drugs. Now no one wants to kick it sober. Sad but true
I believe porn is sort of what they mean when they ask "where is it going?".
It is the ultimate fake pleasure and ruining the self-esteem of millions of young men and women every year.
I myself finally got out, and I feel 100x better every day, if you watch porn now, consider quitting, i promise its worth it.
Truth, NOFAP
Last time i watched porn, i watched it as a comedy. Two people are making unrealistic situations and doing crazy stuffs to run their business😂
Addictive
Porn ruined my brain and my marriage. By extension my career, lost my house.
I'm on the up now. When I'm better I want to help other men so they may learn from my mistake
Same, best decision i've made to be honest, I started quiet young. Getting older I noticed that I was watching more when I was sad or bored, somehow like to fill a void, I felt the need of doing it like it was a natural call. It was just like some kind of addiction, like a drug I needed. My sex life as never been better, I feel more in touch with reality and with my own feelings, even when it comes to simply socialize with people. Porn is dangerous for the brain I believe, it disturb your reality, objectify humans, and the more you watching it the more I guess you dive into some weird stuff, the more difficult it could be to get excited in real life. That's how I feel about it. If you don't feel so good in your life, consider quiting, or do a break from it if you're willing to get better. ♥️
The world has gone mad and narcissistic.
People have a hard time relating to each other. Everyone wants to look and be perfect at all times.
It’s draining and depressing
you know? Pandemic really did damage to our society
Right
Social media is cancer. Everyone tries putting their best foot forward for that dopamine rush. Meanwhile in reality they’re nothing like how they portray themselves online. Hopped off that bandwagon long ago, too many people are zombies.
1 well said
@Real boxing Fan1 that's the point, people do fake shit then go online nd try to paint a different image of themselves in peoples head
When I joined social media, I followed those who build and share insight on things I share a passion for as well. I didn't go around and start following a bunch of zombies, isn't that what sheep do? I guess your social media experiences differ from mine.
People use a lot of excuses on why they use Facebook, IG, and Snapchat. Fact is they don't want to admit that they're on it because they have no life in the reality world. Don't be so triggered by this comment just embrace who you are.
Missing in the discussions of social media's impact on our psychology is the commercialization of our identity. We are branding ourselves, our personae are now the product we sell to social media companies, the more people we serve, the more they make money, and the cost of doing so is an authentic self. It is the acceleration of the absurdity that the existentialist warned us about in the 20th century
Social Media creates false happiness

Like come on you wasn't trying keep in touch with anybody when we only had telephones. Social Media is a place where you can easily hide your true emotions with happy posts and fake emoji smiles.

Mostly blame my sister's generation (28-30 year olds) who normalized the trend where you're suppose to be meanspirited and judgmental towards complete strangers and then get mad if they point out your ridiculous and childish behavior. They think you're some sort of validation points for it.
It's still on the attitude of the person, regardless of SOCIAL MEDIA. However, Social Media is a great ' dish ' of all the Menus of life in this modern era.
EVERYTHING WITH YANG Before social media no one was crying out for it, people actually went out to bars and met up. Social media isn’t needed. It’s fake friendships.
I’m 18 so I grew up with the whole big boom of social media. I feel like the only reason I don’t use it is because I didn’t grow up with it. I didn’t get my first phone till I was a freshman in HS so I was stunted on the whole social media knowledge. I tried using Instagram but I couldn’t get into it. It didn’t make any sense to me. Why would someone post about their lives? Who cares what you had for breakfast, or what movie you saw? I sure don’t so I’ll save you the trouble of looking at my boring shit. And I always preferred to talk or tell stories in person. It just feels much better, you’re able to use your body language, tone, and, emotion to help create a more vivid story. I don’t know, people can do whatever they want and it does feel really weird to be my age and not use social media. I get a lot of “Really? Why not? Everyone has a Snapchat though.” So the pressure is definitely their but I can’t be bother to follow through with it. I just don’t know how to use it and I feel like it’s one thing I’m happy not learning.
HoneybadgerAR • I’m 26 and when I was 14-15, Facebook had taken over MySpace and it was over from there. I totally agree with how you feel.
Same man, we grew up on the same generation
3 free thinkers in the midst of sheep vomit. take care guys..
I feel weird, I am able to use instagram to follow things I am interested in but I was also born with enough brain cells to make sure I'm not following kim kardashian. I don't know how this happened. I can even access facebook to see videos of pets without getting anxiety. Am I an alien?
Im 21 and ive only ever used facebook and insta for a very short time. I just never saw the use feeling bad because other people's lives all looked fantastic and mine was simply boring but fine, plus i had nothing to post. If i want to talk ill do it face to face or whatsapp.
I know no one is perfect, including me, but I'm just sick of people normalising vanity, narcissism, superficiality. I'm sick of everyone pretending to live "perfect" life on toxic platforms to boost their egos. And the saddest thing is that they don't even realize how pathetic and helpless they are.
Omg truth !!!

Social media ruined my relationship
I still miss the old her, I watched her change right in front of my eyes. In 2020 things were amazing with her. We barely used social media as much meaning we never posted and me and her were exclusive to each other. I loved when she would send me selfies of her exclusively then she started to take selfies exclusively for Instagram. We would be on the phone and she wouldn’t be present. She’d be watching tiktoks or on Instagram or Twitter while I was talking. We started talking less and less we even stopped doing things like playing video games together. It really hurt to see her change. There was a time where I was suicidal and very depressed and the only person I could rely on was her. She posted a picture and started following this guy and became friends with him while I was suicidal. I asked her “are you texting him”, she told me no and I believed her. The next time she posted a month the guy commented on her picture. I knew something was up, she claims they were just friends but I still have my speculations. It just hurt because while I was at my lowest she was only worried about making friends with a guy from Instagram that she didn’t even know. A guy from a totally different state at that. And she even lied to me multiple times before she finally confessed and told me. Prior to this she would like things that she knew bothered me. Like a celebrity with his six pack showing and she would have celebrity crushes. She would talk about them with her friends on Twitter calling them “hot”. One of her friends even asked her “what baseball player do you want” right on my Twitter timeline. *we followed each other* It hurt so much to see her change for social media. It hurt so much seeing her choose it over me. It really did. I often reminisce about old times but doing this only hurts me in the end. I miss when we didn’t post on Instagram and didn’t care about if others knew about our lives. I miss when we would talk more. I miss when we only knew about what we had going on instead of other people. I miss when we didn’t care about making friends from other cities and states. I understand that she didn’t have many friends but she forgot about the one who was there from the beginning. She told me she was suicidal once and she didn’t answer the phone the next day. I cried and cried and called her and I was so relieved when she picked up the phone. But when I do it all she cared about was making friends with a stranger a thousand miles away. Things like this really make you question your worth. In the end we broke up and she put my suicide in my face. She sort of mocked me. And even when she did that, I could’ve put hers in her face as well. But why would I do that if I loved her? What if I would’ve said that and she did it ? She didn’t care to thing about the consequences of saying that. For all she know I could be dead right now. She didn’t try to check up on me or anything? And even after we broke up I checked her account maybe 3 days later and she posted a new picture. Why did she let social media consume her? Why?
Homei You will find another soon...Even You did't ask for but here is my advise ..Don't rely on someone so much again. Once my teacher told me that in this world you should not to be emotionally dependent on one perticular person .This is simple rule in physocology that our emotions must be depend on different people at same time it could be on parents or friends or may be your teacher. When I broke up with my ex it was my teacher and parents that helped to overcome deppresion .Tbh I was ready to die at that time But trust me dude one day you will realize how unworthy she was and will cringe over your tears... belive it
Edit : you can talk to me if you want bcz I understand your suffering bro😞

Social media ruins friendships, relationships.

@@forman208 never thought about it that way but it's pathetic

I remember the beginning of Instagram. It was cool to see professional artwork and photography and to see how people across the world from you lived. It was like an artist's dream. Then FB bought it and it went to shit. I deleted my FB in 2012 and never looked back. I still have an Instagram I very rarely use because I like to watch my cousin's kids grow up states away. But all the shit they've piled on, the ads, the new algorithm, it's terrible. Social media is the worst part of the internet and is so far from natural for us to have in our lives everyday all day.

I was born in the late 90s and I remember as a kid growing up throughout the 2000s I was always riding my bike around with friends, shooting hoops, and reading the Harry Potter books. The biggest piece of tech in my life at the time was the Playstation 2 where me and my friends would play Need for Speed every Friday or Saturday night. The first iPhone came out when I was 10 years old. Social media like Facebook only became popular once I started high school in 2010. Instagram came along when I was in year 9. I now see kids with their phones, tablets, and TikTok accounts and consider myself lucky that I grew up just before this all took off to where it is now.

Yea man I like you. Too many people are lost in a trance and it hurts to find real people that care other than your family as people are stuck up in general
sisez same
same here I realized no one actually cares how much likes and comments you have got
I remember when this pandemic started, I was constantly on Instagram, scrolling through what was posted, viewing stories, etc., and then I realized something's wrong. It felt like an addiction and if I don't stop, it'll be an endless cycle. Also, I wasn't happy, I wasn't being productive. Nothing at all. So I decided to delete the app. I told my friends I wasn't going to be on IG and I'll just text them. I already deactivated my FB and deleted snapchat from my phone. Ever since then, life is better.
RUclips is technically a social media app but I don't use it like that. It's mostly learning and entertainment usage haha
I mostly use the android for stocks, internet, and movies.
You're right... because social media is designed to be addictive and easy to use, lots of novelty information at the reach of 1 scroll with your thumb.
Social media is engineered to a point where seeing numbers of likes, follows and simply scrolling makes your brain produce dopamine which is why it becomes so "addictive" it can actually become a behavioral addiction at some point due to the amounts of reward, and eventually we start to enjoy less our rewards on a day-today basis...
So it all comes down to the realization of this for each of the users and control themselves... even though it's kind of giving someone a drug and not expect them to become addicted, some will and some won't and it also depends on their current life situation.

I was born in 2002 and I'm turning 19 next month. I still remember in the early 2010s when social media didn't take over everything. I really wish that things were more like that nowadays because everything was so simple. In fact there are days where I wish I was born a decade or two earlier. It breaks my heart to see little kids always on their phone. The harm social media does to your mental health wasn't well known when I was 12-13ish, but it's practically common knowledge nowadays, and I don't see why parents continue to let children use social media.
I don't have any SM on my phone except for RUclips and I'm gonna switch to a flip phone for my next phone. In fact, if it's still around when I'm a parent, I'm not gonna let my children use it or even have smart phones. I'm gonna CONSIDER getting them a flip phone when they turn 16.
Same here I miss early 2000s
A couple of years ago, I was walking through the airport, my phone was dead and I was going to get to my gate to plug in. I started watching people. As everyone walked into the airport they were in their phones. Into TSA, everyone on their phones, nobody looking up. Next to the train and on the train, literally every single person bent over on their phones, most with headphones in. To the gate, everyone sitting on their phones, laptops, or iPads. Almost everyone with headphones. Boarding, same thing, before takeoff, same thing. Until the door closed and some people had to be asked to turn the phone off did it stop. Then people jumped to music and iPads. As son as the plane landed, everyone back on the phones. It was like we were all plugged into the matrix. That trip I watched everything. Groups together at dinner not talking because they were all in their phone, etc. It was super scary to see the control and how people did not even look, listen, or talk. We were all zombies.
welcome to the matrix.

I've always had this "gut feeling" about social media that i was never able to express with words. It's like Elon and Joe read my mind. At least for me RUclips is the only social media worth using.
Omg yes!!!! I know exactly what you mean.
When people ask for my Instagram/Facebook and I say I don't have them, they look at me almost with disgust. They think I'm hiding myself or I don't want to be friends. It's like they forgot how friendships work outside of social media, as if Facebook was the only way to be friends with someone and anything beyond that does not compute. This is sad and I'm worried for our future.
Sometimes people don’t wanna be too personal as to ask your phone number so they ask for your Facebook or IG so they can dm you
As a mater of fact, having guts to ask for a number is part of the game. That is how it works. Learn to reject and to be rejected. Not everybody has and won't like you. Same goes for you. You are not forced to ve friends with every single person, nor are them. I deleted Twitter when it was not a trend anymore (2005). And to me, still is a social network from the past. Like I can not believe some people still use that dinosaur thing from 2005 ... I deleted my fb account among all others 6 years ago. Fb specially, is a cancer.
For some young people they don't know any different. They have never lived in a world without it. People who are 18 - 20.

Here's a tip: delete 85% of your 'friends' from your social media accounts. Only leave family, friends (real friends), and interesting people.
This quality over quantity approach will greatly improve your experience.
Social media itself is not a bad thing. It's all in how you use it.

I did that except I kept my meme pages since I only get on there to see funny shit lmao I learned to not give a shit about people a while ago I still love my memes and videos 🤷♀️ I like the 2 friends I have and my boyfriend that's it everyone else except my family is so distanced from me I couldnt care less anymore since my dad passed I figured out what's important rather fast I dont want to watch my life pass by worrying about everyone else instead of myself my health and my family and their health like technology and social media can be great but people get addicted keep the phone on silent and it will become less addicting also the noise it makes when you get a notifican will trigger your brain into checking it for satisfaction
That's exactly what I did. It really helps. Much better (and healthier) than seeing all the fake posts, and the ones that show off their lives.
Def did this. I dnt pay as much attention to it now. Only follow certain news feeds and actual friends and family.

So how are you commenting
This social experiment was already well on its way by 2004-2007. I saw and remember it fondly as a simpler time with simpler fashion, less narcissism generally, freedom of opinions regardless of hurting feelings and other assorted reasons. When MySpace was released that was sort of a peek into the future because it all added to this passive aggressive malaise that was relatively new to the scene: people sending invisible signals to their friends and other loved ones that you aren’t “eligible” to be in my elite “Top 8”. And people would switch the squares around and move Joey from 2 to 6 so Joey got the message. Today it’s done more subtly but it’s absolutely had a corrosive effect on society. Yea, business is booming and people are making tons of money but it’s disconnected us from reality in an alarming fashion. And most people don’t even see the repercussions but deal everyday with their consequences.
Early 2000s was the golden age.
It’s for this exact reason that I closed all my social media accounts excepting for RUclips. I prefer face to face communication now as it gives me the opportunity to determine whether they truly are happy or not

I'm just glad people are talking about this. Not being on social media for the past 10 years has felt like a bag of rocks that I've been dragging around
I distinctly remember going to Hong Kong and staying in an epic hotel with an insane view. Naturally, I had to pose in front of this view to BRAG about my current circumstance, even though I was miserable, and under immense stress due to the business I was conducting in Hong Kong, but the comments on my picture were all people saying they wished they were me, and how lucky I was. When in reality, I was more stressed out than I had ever been. That shows right there that Instagram only shows the highlights. Even the “brave” women who post without makeup, are pretending that they are standing up for people, when in actuality, they just want the validation of showing people that they are in fact beautiful without makeup, which ultimately makes others feel WORSE about themselves. The plight of social media is entirely self serving. It has turned our society into a giant narcissistic organism. I know women who hang with other women that they do not like, but they realize they can create the illusion that all of their friends are cool and popular, when in reality, these people are not their friends at all. And with relationships? I’ve seen the most toxic, horrible relationships that are projected on social media as being relationship goals. We are all getting very sick, and if we do not start realizing that social media is a very dangerous drug, then we will continue to get worse. I apologize if I am coming off as negative, I just fear for the future of my children and nieces and nephews. It pains me that other people’s children are getting anxiety, depression and even committing suicide over social media. It’s happening every single day and is getting worse by the second. What can we do? What is the cure? Are we inevitably doomed to give the keys to our happiness to AI?

@@atomicbrain9401 , Facebook and RUclips are 2 different animals.
I was 20 when social media first came out. I noticed the changes in people right away. Suddenly people began attaching their self-worth to how many people "Liked" them... social media can be compared to being addicted to cigarettes or crack cocaine... the first step is recognizing that "No one CARES." Your aren't missing anything.
It's sad how as soon as I got access to the internet my life changed really quick, I used to laugh, be happy and spend time with my family. Back when I was 12 I always thought the internet was a very fun place but its not, instead it got me hooked up and addicted, I always imagine myself being someone I'm not and it's really sad how I can't control it anymore. I usually imagine myself being happy, handsome, rich, loved and famous, I'm 15 about to turn 16 and I want this fake reality to end. And this might seem like a joke but it's not, I've been looking at my screen everyday ever since there was lockdown, never took a break and I'm tired from the inside and out, I don't even look like I used to back when schools were opened, I look more tired and more pale, I haven't spent over 3 hours outside taking a break for over 11 months and that's just the truth 😞. Time seems to be moving fast and it seems like there's just nothing I can do, I'm always in my bed doing the same thing I do everyday, constantly killing my emotions and hormones by comparing myself to other people while I'm slowly dying and wasting my life over something I always tell myself it's entertainment. Only 31 days till I turn 16 and I can't help myself but to cry because I literally have no experience having fun at the age I'm currently at. I'm truly disgusted by my actions and I really need help because I'm sick and throwing my life away, I do not want to realize I'm too late and feel guilt and shame and there's nothing more painful than regret. I just want to be happy and that all I ever wanted
I completely agree with u on that , I’m just realizing it’s all fake and all these people are empty , only offering 5 seconds of looks but have nothing else to offer I’m so tired , if your opinion only being valid if ur pretty
Aww, so sorry to hear that, but take heart, the good thing is you realize it now and not later on in life. You are not too far gone. Delete your accounts and Try to find some hobbies that interest you. You could try photography, drawing, discovering good music, and learn to dance.
Try to go outside more and get some fresh air. You have your whole life ahead of you to make better decisions. Hang in there and never give up no matter how hard things may get. You got this!
This sounds cheesy but I’m around your age and am in a very similar situation to you. Writing this seems pointless because probably no one will see it but I’ll write anyway. I myself am barely limping along in life but if there is one goddamn thing I’ve realised it’s that lying to yourself about your problems doesn’t work.
The truth is a powerful thing.
Follow Jesus Christ this world is full of lies and deception. Time was sped up like the bible says ur not trippin it never used to be like this. Now life just zooms by every day on repeat almost
Pfff i miss those old days, without any social media platforms. People were more alive. Social media is undoubtedly and slowly destroying us from the inside and the outside. I just pray that one day, we humankind are gonna recognize this problem and do something about it.
I only use twitter for memes and I’m not sad
John Kong I’m a millennial and people were more social before social media , I can’t attest to that.
Cripple Crash you will get sad eventually from getting addicted to it consistently
I actually think it is declining give it a few years
John Kong We just have to get rid of it
You can't meet anyone in person, until you meet 'First' on Social Media, how sad is that?
To be fair, I met my boyfriend of three years now that I’ve live with for a year and a half on a fuck app. Lol
@@loganleatherman7647 Yea but you're gay. Its not the same for straight men. I don't mean any offense btw.
Its weird seeing people out in public youve never met before but your freinds with on Facebook. Its creepy.
@@Boudicaisback LOL we can all relate to that so damn well

Social media has created a generation of insecure people who have anxiety when actually talking to someone IRL
I ended all of my social media use 3 years ago and haven’t missed it for a single minute.
My REAL friends know how to contact me.
It’s amazing how much people share every detail of their lives. I’ve seen people post down to the detail of when they’re going to the bathroom.
Girl, they're even posting their sex life. It's sad honestly.🤣🤣
I was once an oversharing social media person. Funny story.. Years ago I posted I was on a vacation and my house was robbed. 🤦 Thanks "friends" 🤣🤣🤣
I never post selfies of myself or anything on social media... I only post memes
@@andrethetruth5662
Same before I quit... And I share memes on groups not my profile.
This is the stuff that makes me hate living in this time
I go 0 to 011 mike real quick if this isn't me i dunno what is man
Agreed. I mean I see the benefit of technology and I like it but the whole social media movement is annoying as f. I can't stand the constant selfies and posting everything online.
Like or not you are still living in this distressing age, be the change you wanna see, convince some friends in making healthier lifestyle choices, hell you can start with yourself!
thats the stuff that makes me want to kill myself because i know it will all somehow get worse than this, and if that happens i dont know what i can do
nicplaybr ¥it actually makes me happy knowing there’s so many problems left in the world needing to be solved and I’ll be happy to get rich while doing so☺️¥
I was born in 1979. and I can pin point when life began to really suck from my perspective, 2009. Facebook and IPod touches were an awesome novelty in 2008, but rapidly things went downhill a year later when the technology began to change they way people behaved on a massive scale (for the worse)
It's been a year of having no social media for me and it's the best! Give it a go people!!
