Upon quitting social media, the first thing that struck me was how pervasive phone usage had become. I was amazed at how often people check their devices. Interestingly, the happiest moments of my life occurred when I was not on social media. This realization speaks volumes about the negative impact that social media can have on our lives, and has further confirmed my decision to abstain from it. I've found that living in the moment, without the distraction of social media, has been invaluable to my well-being and has led to more fulfilling experiences.
I don't consider my self addicted in social media but some times I find my self spend so much time in social media doing nothing, most of the time I feel bad about it, anyway. Sometimes I turn off all social media and I feel good without any pressure, anxiety, my life looks normal.
It does take a toll on your mental. Deleted my facebook, Instagram , Twitter and snapchat years ago and never looked back. Was the best thing I did for myself.
Ironically, that is EXACTLY what the Chinese Communist Party just said. Strictly enforced. Can't even get on the server if you're underage. Children are allowed three hours max a week or so. Adults are regulated as well.
Honestly excessive social media is ether a sign of mental illness or makes your mental health worse but I think kids should be allowed on few social medias like RUclips RUclips kids most kid social medias with like parental monitoring or there parents teaching them how to keep safe
Overuse of social media does not cause any psychiatric disorder. Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Clinical Depression are all biological medical conditions.
Old media like TV networks really dislike how democratic social media has the potential to be, it's not as passive as watching the nightly news-- and that really threatens them. Old media doesn't have to worry though, because new media's algorithms (supressing anything about people who aren't thin or abled bodie for example) are basically doing the same work as old media... and turning social media into cable with captions. Remember, if something is "free," what you're paying for the service is you. Be careful that what you share.
Having no IRL friends makes me feel worse than having social media friends. It's a tool, it's all in how you use it. It's a lifeline for underpaid people starving on SSI living on under 10k a year. Because people IRL HATE the disabled (as reflected in the 40 year old, highly punitive SSI program, feel free to write or call your Senators, if you care, to tell them that 8 million disabled people don't deserve to be in poverty below the poverty line just because they disabled). Edited to add: I'm a user but just old enough that I wasn't a teen when this existed. Teens don't have fully developed reasoning and could go off the deep end easily and should be taught verbal self defense and critical thinking skills (you know, something some adults don't learn: which is to not believe everything you read). Don't ruin it for adults, though.
As a mentally disibled I feel your pain. But it is here about addiction, that is different, its running from problems. different things. 🙃 Sorry for outlet. :(
People with zero critical thinking skills running around with Iphones that deliver only a one sided big tech message as fact. What could possibly go wrong?

Utah is coming out with new legislation Match 2024 that could change the entire landscape of social media.

Me too. I feel like more productive and more better when I am not post and see social media

Now try to quit YT
I’ve quit Twitter. Now I need to work on the rest but it’s so hard 😂
Social media should ONLY be for adults. End of conversation.

I believe they also have " internet addiction " camps to help kids break their habits. Of course...a lock down situation.
Maturity has been supplanted with "special"
Honestly not even for adults either

Instagram has become the most crap hole of social media, there's too much stupid crap on there.
Blame Kevin Systrom

Your environment can trigger these disorders though.
You don’t have to have a disorder to suffer poor mental health.
The same can be said for too much MSM.
Push for the repeal of section 230 liability protections.

If I care I will definitely write them.
The only social media good for mental health is RUclips
It’s good depends on what ur watching , also if you don’t scroll through shorts
As soon as I first heard of social media I figured this out
Old news..... I've been saying this for twenty years.
People with zero critical thinking skills running around with Iphones that deliver only a one sided big tech message as fact. What could possibly go wrong?
There just now figuring this out. I deleted my FB account like eight years ago😄
I said the same thing😅 this been like this since myspace and other old apps back then.
you figured that out just nine years ago? I never even created a FB account 😎
Advertisements is ok. I don’t mind them pushing products that I am interested in.
It’s the negative comparison that is on steroids on social media.

@@RonYates1-m3w I trade with a professional broker *Mr.* *David* *Morrison* he brings me massive returns.
I also trade with Mr. David, haven't you heard of him?
He is the best to trade with.
Wow!! I thought I was the only one trading with Mr. David, I just withdrew my profits of $25k after investing $3,500, in two weeks of trading

Of course it does. We should all know this by now.
The tiktok redemption
only about 15 years too late on this. but unlike vaccines they actually took the time to do long term studies.
Who knew?🙄
Holy sh!t, they told the truth 😳
Stop acting like social media was never good before Zuckerberg entered the scene.
listening to fake news will make you genius
writing comments under the fake news will also make you genius
This is kind of testless addiction swinging our civilized pattern to unknown destiny.
Cellular Girl
Some boys tweet and some boys post
But I subscribe the most
Since I don’t tell them face to face
I cannot find solace
They may selfie. They may fake it
I can’t seem to quit
When I compare, and I’m impressed
I simply get depressed
Refrain
‘Cause we are living in a cellular world
And I am a cellular girl
You know that we are living in a cellular world
And I am just a cellular girl
Some boys follow. Some unfriend
I’m texting till the end
Since I’m addicted to my phone
I’m left here all alone
Some boys crash and some boys fall
‘Cause they can’t see the wall
Social media is my bliss
But real life I miss
Repeat refrain
Realizing how main stream media lies is stressful.
idk how to quit YT
they always tell you when its gonna happen - thats the rule- now its down
Like the RUclips comments ?
Yes
🫶🏾
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion (⊙o⊙)
You think??
Girls
females blame everyone and everything for their problems, except themselves.
**Shout out to Ashli Babbit on 9 months of her permanent tourist visit! Took some tough love but she finally is staying put! SAY HER NAME TRUMPICANS!👍**
Even though she did what she did, that is still wrong to say.
A duh
