“Social media is to socializing what masturbating is to sex.” ― Oliver Markus Malloy, Inside The Mind of an Introvert

KZfaq is also social media but the thing about KZfaq is that it comes with people who are giving value like how to tutorials, psychology, science, and facts we may have never known about. I genuinely want to improve my life and I find people like you who feel the same way not to walk my path but to point me in the direction I want to be.

Great video..!! For me, quitting FB was best decision ever. Almost a year without FB, life feels completely different. Happy, Calm, Healthy relationship, Productive & so on.

I finally got fed up and 2 days in, I have been more productive and feeling so much better!!!!

Hi Oliver, I quit social media (except KZfaq), few months ago. I find it therapeutic not using it too. Best thing not using social media, feel more close to family and friends in real life, out there 👍

I realized I am a loner ...it took me a moment to get over it...not be sad and that I can take the time to be introspective

Yes i left Facebook years ago, and these friends dont ever reach out to me, thats a harsh reality.... I'm still on instragram because i love taking photos, i dont expect likes, i do it because i want to... and I'm not on it every day, about twice a week. One of my past friends doesn't go out to work, shes addicted to Facebook, shes on there morning noon and night and comments on everything... she has no motivation to do anything else, thats sad..... this is a great video, nice one 🥰

10 months I quit Facebook and I don't miss anything about it. I read a lot more than I used to and am happy being at one with my own way of thinking!

I quit Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter on April of this year ... it's been absolutely great. KZfaq is the only "social media" I use today. I too have been doing a lot of reading.

Great video Ollie. I hear ya on all points... Bloody awesome. Quit 4 years ago, ain't no going back. 😎

Quit properly on 1st Jan and have read three books already. Also quit the news as the same time. Feels good so far and appreciate you sharing these lessons as I can bear in mind as I continue with my own experiment ❤

Great stuff. It made me think about the significance of soil media and replacing it with something more valuable, like nurturing true friendships.

Good to see you back. I love the Ikario podcast

The best talk on this topic so far. Big ups! 👌

100% agree with this video. I’ve only been off a week. Yesterday I got abit of FOMO for a second and downloaded Instagram again and after a scroll for a few minutes and already noticing my thoughts change, be influenced and compare myself to others I deleted my account and know I made the right decision. After having social media since a young teen it’s new and difficult to just be with my own thoughts and actually think for myself. So strange to feel and scary that this is the effect social media has had on me.

Thank you for being so direct.

This is Wonderful!! It is true that steering off social media may be unpleasent but it is damn well necessary, to clearly take a look at one's path. I found that connecting with other people and joining social institutions helped me through this process a lot. Good luck to you

Hey! nice to see you again! I started reading 2 books a month and love it! I’m now 9 months off social media besides KZfaq haha thanks for the video hope all is well!

good vibes from you... we're on the same path, all the best! 🙂

Last time I tried to quite Facebook and Instagram I ended up in dating apps, it's really important to conciously prevent one self from just replacing social media with something else thats just as bad

Yes I recently left fb also so did many of my friends and kids. Tired of the facade

I like your videos , it’s good u r aware of things around u ( like how the things change the thinking process). It’s a positive feedback system , we watch something then we like it and craves to watch more. To stop using social media ( or anything els ) it’s like changing personality it takes time.

Excellent video. Inspiring!

Nice one mate! How are you managing? As long as you replace it with something else, like how you have with reading, then it’s easier. I’m on just over 3 years now, replaced it with drawing. Great video too mate!

Yes this week I noticed Google has changed and KZfaq. One of my favorites was banned for good all because he talked about narcissistic personality disorder and how the world was changing. Nothing racist or harmful towards anyone person .Google will being up what it wants me to learn sometimes not even close to what I was trying to research. It was frustrating. So cute...this pond has turtles!!! Xo love it. Great way to be present. Thank you for bringing me with.

Good to see you again. It’s been a while.

Lol I'm on DAY ONE, I deactivated mine I didn't wait the 30 days to delete it. I'm already feeling like I'm more alone and missing out on something 😕

Great video 😊

Wow! Good to see you're still alive!

Congratulations man i understand you completely, I deleted all Facebook products cause i was really consumed in Facebook platforms.

I quit those too and don't miss them. People are far less cruel in real life compared to the internet. Now if I could just quit youtube....

Thanks for your video. One concern I have about leaving facebook is that it may make it difficult for me to market my startup, especially among the circle of people I have. How did you get over this problem?

Hey, ah I messaged you on Instagram the other day 🙈 so I’ll not hope for a reply 😂 I used to quit social media for lent and it was tough but a relief too. I’m a KZfaq junkie so I’d have to be careful I didn’t go straight to that! Great content, loving it so much! Really resonating with it at the moment. I’ve been in a bit of a funk but coming out the other side now. Just wanted to say thanks 💪🏼 xx

Thank you 👌🏽

Well stated!!! Recent I was locked out of my Instagram because I accidentally put in the wrong age when promoted. They turned around and asked for a government IDENTIFICATION with proof of age!!! When I submitted Ithe proper IDENTIFICATION I was then told it was invalid. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm 57 years old, I don't need Instagram they need me!!!

Ty good information

I only have TikTok and KZfaq

I still check in just to say hi

3:23 I laughed so much here lollllll

Nice bro , I just deleted my fb now wish me luck 🙏

REAL TALK🙂

I actually want to gradually quit social media, but I don't know how to start to. I hope this video helps me to acheive it. Maybe I'll come back a few months later to tell y'all whether it worked or it did't 😅

Hi Oliver, I am following your path aswell, and i have a question: how did you manage your business without social media? I see you have youtube, but where and how did you promote your channel?

I'm taking a break from Facebook

Are you back on social media?

deleting my instagram soon.

[off topic but slightly related ] which park is this? ( I need some change from seeing ducks everywhere and eventually peacocks in Lisbon, turtles seem a good alternative haha)

how do you manage whatsapp? for example being "invisibile"?

song in video bro?

What about Whatsapp?

Why is people hiding on the internet it seems like when you're on Facebook or any of the sites you are hiding behind the streets

❤

Is this park in Lisbon?

3:21 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funny how there's an Instagram ad before watching this. Haha losers :p great video! honestly i hate labels when you do one thing and people categized you in a certain place. Its a description of what others or you see yourself as, not who you are. What you are is more than one label.

I am leaving that platform by the end of the year.

🐢

Managed to quit them all,but then I started overusing KZfaq and online porn 😅

That kid thinking who's he talking to 🤣😂

Yep! And women make money from weak men on those platforms. I’m reality average and down to earth women are better. They’re genuine and better in bed
