Yeah it’s good to stay productive instead of lose ourselves in our social media, I make sure to kinda set up a bucket list in my mind to finish things for me to be satisfied with what I’ve done. Edit: Holy crap this feels like the most likes I’ve gotten from posting a simple youtube comment! Yall tysm for all this, I rlly do appreciate this alot, it truly means alot to me and I hope yall keep striving and thriving off in life. Peace, respect, and love yall 🙏 ❤️ ✊ ☀️
I stopped using Instagram, reddit months ago, and now I quit using Facebook as well and only use it to see updates and announcement from my uni. I'm better without social media
Time to lock in and get some of my shit together over summer. Half my grades were either barely passing or just in the middle, Been skipping the gym lately, scrolling shorts and overall spiraling back
Ive always been on this shit........telling my parents lets get together more....lets chill n be a family but erbody on their social media n life just feels dull...... sometimes you just need time together but then people don't wanna do that..i wish society could go back to how it was when it was fun.
I feel the exact same way as you. This is facts we are being manipulated every day. I used to think that this things dont affect us but we are getting lost. Im trying so hard to use less social media every day is a battle Big love from South America Sorry my english is not that good
This is the perfect time for me to see this, i have been struggling with mental health lately and couldn’t figure out what the problem was but earlier today i realized i spend way too much time on my phone especially on instagram and tiktok. I got back into journaling recently and was going to write about how i think i should take a week away from it and this is definitely a sign hearing you say i should, you’re videos are really eye opening to me i’ve learned a lot from you, thank you ❤️
You remind me a lot of my Uncle. The way you carry yourself and explain things and the values and ideas you hold remind me of him so much and he’s one of the biggest inspirations in my life right now
I lost my phone recently and before hand i was trying to get off all the socials but i just kept coming back and now im like why does it matter. im so much less stressed and feel so much more real like you said so i dont plan on getting on socials ever again and im getting an old flip phone to stay in touch with people i cant see physically which is a good tip to anyone trying to do the same thing. Thanks for the peace of mind Shimon
yes, this. social media so tactfully corrupts us in a way that we don't notice the damage until it's already too late. it becomes so difficult to break that cycle of insecurity, and even though I've quit social media several months ago I still very much feel its effects.
youtube is social media. you replaced one for another. you're forming a parasocial relationship with someone you only know thru a screen, you're reading posts and commenting, you're literally on social media right now. Shimon has you fooled into thinking his channel is good for you but it's literally just sucking you in here instead of letting someone else sink their claws into you, which he won't stand for. He says anything to get you guys coming here not realizing that he's just as bad as the things he's telling you not to indulge in. cult shit. he loves you. he cares for you. this is a safe place for you. you're a FAMILY. join the TRIBE. join us. join him. he's your FAMILY. you can trust him. he's FAMILY. leave that other stuff behind. do what he says. do what the leader of your FAMILY says. this ain't your family. you need actual therapy, not youtube videos. please get help, don't get indoctrinated.
just deleted all my social apps, I still have RUclips obviously, but I just use this app to listen to stuff at work. but I haven't used FB, Instagram e.t.c for like a week now, it feels so good not seeing stuff I don't need to see/hear 24/7. thanks for this video, it's like therapy, Ilove your content. Also sidenote since I've limited my screen time, I started noticing everyone around me on their phones all the time and all I can think is "Jesus I look just like that, these apps are turning us into zombies" it's actually scary
I haven’t had Instagram or TikTok or anything for yearsssss now and I swear the difference it’s made in my life is insane, but it is kind of sad because then you look at everyone around you consumed by it, n ppl look at u different because you’re not caught up with all the new trends etc like 😭 all my friends tell me im like an old lady lmaooo
I won't get on social media till 13.06 (except for your new videos). Will keep yall updated everyday. Day 1. I'm going cool with no social media BUT. I started to spend a little bit more time at the kitchen (tryna get something to chew, lol), and found myself wanting to listen to more music (usually I don't listen to music a lot). I think thats the procrastination remains , but it wasn't a big deal for me. I did some of my university depths and feel good about it. I still don't have a lot on my mind, because even that I refused to listen to music, I still have some choruses going through my head 24/7. Ready for day 2, wich is today. Will keep yall updated, gang Day2. More meaningful thoughts and more time to do stuff I needed to do. Also I meditated for 10 minutes because I really had nothing else to do. Continued reading the book that I started reading a long time ago, I did like 5-7 pages but Im still going good. Watched your new video about feeling lonely at the top of perfomance and went on a good 4-5h walk with my friend where we discussed all of that social media quitting. Day3. (Tryna type less) No social media BUT I spent hours trying to find what to play. I didn't even want anything to play, I was just searching for something interesting, I didn't like it but I couldn't stop, it was like social media alternative. On day 4 I will add 2 more rules. 1: No games, 2: No scrolling for games in steam or anywhere else. Other parts of the day went cool. Day4 (next will be 12.06). I went to Instagram, because my old friend wanted to reach me for long (Yes, I dind't delete social media, I just don't go there for no reason). We chated for like 20-30 minutes and that's all of the social media experience I got. On this day I understood that social media stopped me from going deep into thinking about my real problems/traumas. I bought a book that will help me with some psyhological things, so yeah, I'm only starting my journey. Day ??? (it's 08.06). I quitted all social media except youtube (no YT shorts still), and I didn't know that this would be a big deal. I just replaced everything for youtube. I didn't even know it was social media (there's no dm here, that's my number 1 define of social media). So yeah. RUclips kinda messes up all the challenge, but I still use my phone and pc less so I think it's not a big deal
Bro I wanna say thank you so much. This is only the second video I’ve watched on your channel and it’s really helping me out to start clearing my mind and to develop good and healthy habits like quitting porn or staying off social media for extended amounts of time. You speak the truth and I love hearing the truth, even if it’s bad. Much love brother
thank you for mentioning relatable memes as negative influence!! Shimon you would be an amazing psychologist. You seem like a kind hearted strong minded person.
For the last two days I didn’t have access to my phone. It was a great time. I often heard without your phone you feel like a kid again and I tried to do it on my own but it didn’t work out. But now. I tell you, don’t use your phone for anything but messaging, some informative videos, googling and maybe for listening to music.
Tired of the stress to check my phone every 2 seconds to see if a got a notification, post something just to get some attention, fck all that, I really needed to hear this, thanks man:)
Yo man, I just deleted it due to affecting my relationship, but man your videos have been help me so much. I’m on a break right now learning and helping myself before I can go back. I hurt her too much and need help so kudos man. I appreciate your help
Ay that's why I stopped using it because it seemed so hyponotizing or magnetic to use. You could sit there and consume content, but it isn't going to benefit anyone just going to put you down some more.
Fun i literally deleted it yesterday 😂 The main reason i was hesitant was cuz of a girl. I've known her for YEARS we ended up going to different high schools. And now a year after graduation we started getting into it. We both decided to stop, there honestly was no issue, very truthfully nothing was wrong. But i still want her, she has my number too do it ain't all bad, i think i need to cool it before trying again tho
I only two successful social media breaks one in February-March and May-June of last year for a month for both of them. The second one was supposed to be from May-August ( 3 months ) since I was on summer break from college but when June came I kept deleting and redownloading it and every since then that’s what been doing every time I try to do a break. Social media is addictive because I would redownload it and remember there is nothing interesting going on and I’m like why I’m scrolling what I’m looking for? I didn’t know scrolling became a mechanism until I seen another video of a dude saying he would scroll through other apps like his email like he does social media. I don’t want to completely leave social media however I need to repair my relationship with it bc it’s had a good aspect but it’s been boring and I remember the cycle of I’m on it and then I’m bored.
This 👆. I'm hellbent on improving my mental health, I've uninstalled all SM apps besides YT, I've started working out more, I've started reading more, I've started fishing, and I want to start hiking with some buddies. We need to make leaving social media a trend, stop this BS and reconnect with reality
I know its off topic, but tomorrow im graduating high school and im feeling really sad. But I dont want last day of my highschool to be sad but I dont know what to do. Can you give me any tips on this
I need help guys So basically me and my friends went to a party the other week that one of my old friends was hosting. Now my friends and her friends are sort of combined into a new group and I really like one of the girls and I already somewhat know her a little bit but I just need help, Some nights we text quite a bit but sometimes we just don't really message. We were all at the beach yesterday and me and this girl i like were playing arcade games together and having fun but she hasn't really spoken to me that much since. Please help, I don't want to appear clingy by keep messaging her ya know. What do I do?
I lit download ur videos and listen to it on my walks...peace washes over me and lit gets u off it pitty party and dig deeper. Lit my fyp tryna show me couple goals jst cos I'm single. KlickBaittte 😑

Time to lock in and get some of my shit together over summer. Half my grades were either barely passing or just in the middle, Been skipping the gym lately, scrolling shorts and overall spiraling back
