I've never had Instagram, im a 84 baby and it just never seemed comfortable to me. I grew up in thhe myspace era, we had cellphones and playing in the back yard was enough. Im 39, and although i live in the city, I admire the simplicity of life. I can read fake so quick and i cant tolerate it for long. I do have a fb but i rarley post and its always about gratitude. I feel you, life is to short to get caught up in the "world."
I got rid of all of my social media, except RUclips of course. I promise my mental health is so much better. I'm more focused and more productive. I have even developed more authentic connections. Best decision I made❤
I think my frontal lobe is starting to develop because I’ve recently noticed that social media is annoying. It’s just hours of wasted time that I won’t get back. Everyone wants to go viral, so there’s no authenticity in content anymore.
I noticed a lot of toxicity on social media I wanna say early last year and I saw that it was affecting my anxiety and my self worth. I sometimes thought that everyone had the perfect marriage, and I was going to be alone for the rest of my life and how everyone is so loved and Im not, so I was like nope I can’t handle it and I got off FB, IG and TikTok. Now I’m focused on being a creative, my mental wellbeing, my self love. I am not gonna compare myself to others because I don’t know what they do behind closed doors. I am so glad that many people are seeing how social media is affecting their mental wellbeing.
What may look to be happiness, is miserable in real life & what looks rich is as poor as can be when it comes to social media. I can’t stand it, it’s the devil’s playground, I got rid of FB 10 yrs ago, IG is next. 🙄
@robink.1305 Exactly! And unfortunately, it took me a while to figure it out. And many ppl have been getting off IG lately, something about it's not the same or something.
I am currently taking a detox from social media and when I say I feel so good! When you eliminate distractions and all of the social media noise…There is a quiet peace that is so satisfying omg 🥰 I encourage everyone to try to do this.
This was just what i needed to hear! Now I know why HOLYSPIRIT was saying to stop watching social media…. It helps to hear Him clearer and allow Him to pour into me 🙌🏼
Girl, this is right on time! This is where I am. This is why I detox. I have been convicted of this. Instagram for me as well. I loved watching videos of workouts and juicing. However, it was too much for me. I was led to detox and get in the Word more. 4:48
I’ve been feeling this way about Social Media lately and I decided to just delete the Instagram app off my phone and concentrate from it and spend more time in the word and fasting, it’s been hard with an off and on struggle! I definitely see a difference in my thoughts and mind from being on instagram and being more in the word of God! I’ve been so tired of ‘needing’ my phone and picking it up and scrolling etc. as well! Hope this encourages someone
Nicole!! Im a new mom and just a few months postpartum I was beating myself up so bad cause I was like “shouldn’t I have it together by now? Should I still be in my housecoat and bonnet at 3pm???” Comparing myself to what I saw. This was so refreshing to hear. I love how real you are. I completely agree. I’ve been in a space lately where I don’t really have much desire to be on social media, honestly want to just delete it all but I know God has me on still to share my testimonies but these days I just desire to be fully present in my own life with my husband and daughter and I don’t want to be distracted by a phone in my hand where the automatic response is to scroll.
I’m in my 30s and my life isn’t perfect at all. I’m not married I don’t have a man in my life and I don’t have any kids. Oh yeah I have a instagram and I am private as well. I’m glad somebody understands. Everybody doesn’t need to know everything about me. Because this world is filled with people who have issues. And to many people want to front and don’t really have nothing. I just hope social media goes away eventually it’s a mess now.

Thank for the candid chit chat. I enjoyed it. It had some gems.

It’s okay!! Have some grace for yourself! It’s easy to fall into the scroll trap. It’s good you’ve already been more mindful of your time 🙂
