I'm not gonna blame the technology, to me its a humanity problem, we like to point the finger instead of looking at the mirror too much these days, the technology just exacerbates bad tendencies such as showing off, feeling inadequate from lack of self worth, manipulating others perspectives for individual gain etc
social media can lead us to comparison instead of realizing our inner value ❤ ik it’s not ppl’s objective, yet it happens and so many young girls are affected
I just came back from a study abroad program where wifi was SUPER limited at the place we were staying at (and bc of the location so was the service), and it took a while, but I started to love it. Even when we got wifi, I would hardly spend time scrolling through social media and watch movies or shows for a majority of it. I became friends with someone who keeps her following on instagram really small so she could post whatever she wanted AND she didn't feel the pressure to stay in touch with every single person she meets, from elementary school friends to someone she met once at a party. I think between those things, what I'm ultimately working on is making my following significantly smaller so that it doesn't depend on likes and seeing a ton of random people I hardly know appear on my page. That's my long answer, but this video's content has been something I've been thinking about a lot lately too!
Luca!! I’ve also watch you since I started high school. I have one more year of university. I deleted Instagram almost 2 years ago and it was really because of what you said about how it feels narcissistic and can feel fake when you’re trying to curate it so specifically for an aesthetic. It also affected my self esteem enormously as I compared myself to every single person I saw. I was insecure about not only my appearance but my lifestyle. I felt like I had a boring life and wasn’t pretty enough to even be posting myself. Deleting it was the best decision I’ve made for my self esteem. I sometimes do think about being “forgotten” but I know that I won’t be forgotten by the people who actually matter in my life. I don’t think social media isn’t inherently bad or evil. I think we’ve made it to be that way and it would be pretty impossible to make it the way it was in the beginning. Great video Luca 🤍
Hi Luca good morning happy Tuesday morning and happy summer day and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Can i just say I’ve been watching you for about 4 years now, and i love seeing how much you’ve grown and matured. You’re insight on social media is inspiring and I’ve noticed myself get sucked down into the rabbit hole of it all the time, especially Instagram. I’ve found it hard to not go on Instagram so I’ve taken a different take on what i choose to see on there. I found myself unfollowing all celebrities and “influencers” and instead following accounts that have to do with the hobbies i enjoy, knitting and crocheting for example. Gets rid of those negative thoughts about myself and inspires me to get off my phone and try something new !
I am not even an influencer myself, but I do work as like a personal assistant for an influencer and I gotta tell you … it’s wild! I can’t image the pressure anyone whose life is public must feel and even for me working with her, the lines between life and work / fun times and content creation is sooo blurry!
When I go on Instagram, I often see bad news like learning about another mass shooting or another attack on our rights. Then I look up what happened and thus fall deeper into the rabbit hole. Also something I do is I move instagram around on my screen so that i actually have to look for it if I want to click it.
I have been comparing lives to other people and it happend. I told my mom and dad alright this is Luca best photo was your graduation 👨🎓 photo and it is awesome 😎 because I got graduate 👨🎓 just like you did.
oh girl I will NEVER forget about you even if you delete all your accounts. I love you sm luca. you're so real. I agree with EVERYTHING you say. And OMG YES TRIANGLE OF SADNESS! I took a history of european film class and we watched it
Don’t give up on social media we just have to take a break everything will be fine I even didn’t do nothing wrong 😑. But I know the way how you feel Luca. Just take a break from social media just take a walk and just read a book 📖.
I felt the same way my parents would say one day I would not go on social media I would stay on RUclips and watch videos. But when I post like a studio album 💿 or a anniversary and I make a story then I pay attention to the views.
My recent routine: posting a video or two for a week → JOMO (two weeks) → come back to post another video for a week → JOMO (one month) 😂 I haven’t logged in to IG or Facebook for an entire month, and I can tell you it feels like I’m the only person that exists on this planet, which doesn’t feel bad. As a content creator like yourself this may not be an option, but why would you want to make your life harder if it’s nothing more than stress.
I remember growing up, for me taking a photo was either to capture a moment with my family, friends or if I’m traveling maybe the gorgeous mountain in the back. But now people will find brick wall and make it all about themselves, it has become so materialistic.
I don't social media should go away think people need to start expecting better out there content creators for example e begging shilling products that don't work or do as advised like manscaped that was advertised in like almost ever major youtubers videos then you get it and it would bread in like a day or two when you could get a cheaper electric razor that would last longer. Or on the other end up like Joe Rogan where he use to make good content before he signed that 200 million doller deal now he become the human credit card to his friends. I'll quote Mike David from redbar radio fame is a sickness because who would want be famous and even if get famous then you have to worry about losing you fame. sorry about tangent.
thank you for talking about this topic! i think we can all relate to feeling immense pressure on social media and the tolls it takes on our mental health… definitely worth taking time to talk about more ❤️
And they rely on external validation from their “followers” which further pushes the idea that our worth is dependent on others… lol it’s a whole psychological mind trap that ppl fall into too easily

Being a content creator really can be stressful because everyone is counting on you to upload regularly.
so true
@@itslucawhitakeryou always so beautiful luca

yes yes i agree
There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking breaks from time to time. It's ABSOLUTELY vital for your health.

Hi Luca good morning happy Tuesday morning and happy summer day and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Thank you for this. This makes me SO happy and makes me feel so comfortable to know that others are aware of this.

Hey Love you 😘

glad you liked it!

I really needed this video right now. Thank you sm!❤
ofc!!
The question hasn’t been answered.
Luca I am glad that you're one of the girls to finally understand the harmful effects of social media
thank you for talking about this topic! i think we can all relate to feeling immense pressure on social media and the tolls it takes on our mental health… definitely worth taking time to talk about more ❤️
thanks for watching!!:) really appreciate it!
@@itslucawhitaker omg hi luca!! i love your videos
i loved that Elle Fanning Jenna Ortega interview.
Give us more movie recommendations...please.
ooooo don't get me started
My photos are not dumps.
👍
This is real - I love that you talked about this
Welcome back, Luca.
Hey babe.
True.
I’m happy to see this! “Mind over matter”. Too many ‘influencers’ focus on superficial things, like body image, clothes, objects, etc
And they rely on external validation from their “followers” which further pushes the idea that our worth is dependent on others… lol it’s a whole psychological mind trap that ppl fall into too easily
yes mental health is so much more important !!
I love you I want a hug
@@MasterHater I'm not reading your comment I block your youtube account you need to stop being a jerk leave me alone i'm done with you
