Lola I read this exactly when she said it!

Lola this is on social media dudes

That’s not really true though It’s so annoying when people say that People’s social media persona is the exact same in real life No ones who they are at work, or school or whatever as they are at home It’s just as fake Your neighbor could be a pedo, or abuse there kids. People hide depression, and addiction. You never know anyone.. period. That’s not a social media thing. That’s just life

@@breannedixon9712 true

Lola then this comment is fake

damn

This !! Swear this is me too

Yeahh....truth

Same hehaha

Lmao same

I feel you. I quit social media last January and I feel so much better.

I did in 2017

Same, quit media accidentally for half a year in 2017 and since then I can’t really get myself back there for long. (Instagram and Russian version of Facebook) Only a couple months ago I’ve realized that I don’t want to go back because of how damaging SM is. I literally feel like puking when thinking of wasting an hour there.

I’m 21 and I quit social media when I was 17. Never gone back and I love my life. I read, hike, do a lot of art activities, and have more friends now than when I had social media. When I’m out and about I don’t scroll through my phone when I don’t have anything to do, I make conversation with somebody near by or enjoy my surroundings.

@@tokyodiva read a book when u are outside it helping me so much

I am 15 too I quit social media 2 days ago.

Battlelover666 Gaming yes I’m 15 too and I quit too

I am 16 and hell yeah, we're on the right track about quitting social media💜

Same

I am 15 and I am also quitting social media.

Róisín Grant hey there! I’m 2 months+ still clean from instagram. You know what I noticed? I feel sooo much better when someone I haven’t seen in a long time tells me I look much better. Better than constant posts and constant feedbacks. Also I look at others act like drones while they mindlessly scroll. Lemme tell you you’re not missing out on a damn thing.

@@mariellegomez5089 My same experience as a photographer

Same here !!!

Just focusing on my family and my kids

Sandra Leclerc Everything is fake. And I don’t know. I follow cooking accounts to learn to cook. No reason to talk to them lmao. I follow girls in my PA program who I want to be like... no need to talk to them. And I follow dog accounts. Not talking to them. Cleaning accounts, too. It’s a tool and you should take advantage of it Assuming you have a job, do you think your coworkers are who they are? Or that they could (and statistically) a few are horrible people? Probably not

Same here 🤘🏼

Same!

you mean not even a message from fake friends

Same here but it's fine. Just learn to enjoy your own company instead of the company of two faced friends.

The reality of this is so sad I quit 7 days ago and it's only one guy who's been messaging me and we're not even friends

I realized people don't leave, the Universe moves them for us.

Exactly how i feel !

Definitely true!! 🙌

Couldn't be me

You feel better

So true

@Dário III u delete only the application or account too?

same

Tbh, that sounds great. Im gonna do that right now.

Good for you. That social media shit is making us mad depressed n shit. I've havent been wit it for almost 4 months.

omg what a coincidence i quited social media too and just started HTML im still a beginner

Yeah same here! I'm reading more, taking walks, having longer discussions with friends :)

Marshall Figg its amazing isn’t it? I did a break for 1.5 months in summer and doing another one right now. Life-changing :)

Congrats.

👍👍

same lol

BRUH I THE SAME THIGG HAPPENED TO ME, except i didn’t delete snap lol

lala duran i deleted social media a few days ago, this popped up lmao

Benny McNally it’s quite annoying , i feel bored and keep having the urge to re download everything and give up. i’ve noticed that i’ve been obsessing over social media too much, and being obsessed over what i post and when to post and the amount of likes i get. I constantly compare myself to everyone else. I will re download it in half a year. but i knew i had to quit social media for myself, to better myself.

Benny McNally i agree, i know the first week is gonna be hard. but i’m actually way happier and i’ve only been off it a few days ! i wish you the best of luck! 2020 Is our year to grow !!

@bornofthevirgomoon How's it been?

I'm doing a month without Instagram right now... just a few days in. And I'm honestly feeling good, along with the fact that it's giving me that much extra time. I might stay off for longer. :)

mynameisliana Sound so good! You go girl 😊

Iam going through this same thing

I am planning to completely delete soon

Felicia Olsson same here it’s been over a year now and it was the best decision I made

Omg that is exactly what i thought !! :)

julie i was the 420th like ;D

Did you make a post saying you’re taking a social media break or you just left?

@@chulcat i personally just left

Same 😂😂😂

How did it go?

So... how about now? 🤔

she probably got the hang of it if she's not replying

How's it going sis?

Dipankar Raj Sharma hello! It went great and I feel like going off of social media rewired my brain in a way that I don’t really care about followers or anything anymore. I prioritize my real life now and I’m happy the way it is! When I made this comment, I didn’t use it for around two months. Now I am using social media again for business reasons and only post when I’m required to do so.

How u been holding up?

@@esmesal6006 thanks for asking! I downloaded it back and I stay away from the sad stuff and I follow TONS inspirational and self love accounts so all I see is positivity 😃

Same bro once I seen the first pic ever of George Floyd I was like “oh nah it’s bout to be some low vibration going on in here let me delete these apps” couldn’t handle it

You go girl!

Really?did it make any changes?

this

Eline Oortwijn that’s amazing! Good luck🍀

Had ik ook gedaan met insta (gebruik geen fb en twitter). Begon ook met een week, en het is nu 3 maanden geleden. Is eigenlijk super makkelijk en mis het eigenlijk helemaal niet. Super chill!

Fleur wat goed! Ik vind het ook best grappig dat het eerst een big deal lijkt en we het uiteindelijk helemaal niet missen😄

Update?

Update?

I’m trying to do it for this long myself!

What have has changed about you/what have you noticed since quitting social media

How’s it going so far?

Sorry for the late reply. It was our finals week. Here’s what happened after a month of no social media: I’m a student in Manila and we have lots of group works and the way we communicate with each other is mostly through fb messenger hence I wouldn’t say I didn’t use social media but what I changed was my intention in using it. My goal was to lessen how much time I spend on social media and to not open anybody else’s story or post. Memes/ funny vids were fine tho. In the beginning, I had a hard time because opening social media app, though I only have one, was like muscle memory. It’s the first thing that I would do whenever I get bored so I tried leaving my phone for a while, surprisingly it’s not that hard once you start doing it. I also disabled the ringtone of my messenger app so I wouldn’t feel obligated to reply right away and only when I actually have a free time to do it. Second week was easy, I only needed a few days to not want to open my account. I even got lazy on the idea of scrolling through my social media at one point. I also decided to unfollow, if I can’t unfriend them, some people on my friends list that posts too much of their life events. People who post negative stuff were immediately unfriended. You will become what you listen to hence I deliberately avoided people spreading toxic inhibitions on my feed. To say the least, I opened my account to declutter. In next two weeks, I used social media as a way to distress by looking through funny videos or articles unlike before when I would try to check other people’s post which leads to comparison. It felt like I was living in the year 2009 where I only used social media exclusively for fun. Through this experience, I’ve realized how easy it is to just not open social media. And since I avoided other people’s post I felt less obligated to also post everything that’s happening in my life. Also, since I don’t really compare myself anymore, whenever I post a story, because I don’t post on my timeline, I became less critical of what to post and also I became less anxious/caring of what other people might say since I felt like my real world is separated to my social media. Basically, this experience made me take social media not too seriously and actually use it on how it should be used, to communicate.

first time i was thinking like you but now i can do it, and i feel comfortable without instagram 🙃

Sameee

same with tik tok, in my case is also so time waster, but i've tried deleting it for a week and now i'm goingo for a month. I've discovered that i like reading more than i thought. You can do this !

you can read a book ☺️don't feel pressure to start with what everyone likes or maybe classics. you'll find something for you! I would recommend Harry Potter if you didn't read them

yess!! tik tok makes me hella insecure but then there are some videos on there that i enjoy and that are funny. i honestly don’t know what to do that’s the only app i really go on :(

- 0567 hi , are you still using them now in quarantine?

- 0567 how are u doing now

@@esmesal6006 I still delete them sometimes 😊

Shea Stirewalt Awww that’s really good something to strive for !!!

Nadine Gone I’ll do the same now!

I am going to that too!!

Florian the same could be said for real life in a way

Wish you luck!! :)

Yes me too!

Same

So, did you? :)

- anushka. No),: I had to use it for a few things but in january of february I’m gonna do it

Samiya Noor you better

Seth especially when they like your photos but never don't have time to contact you on the phone. I deleted all my social media I am getting to the point of my own happiness and inner peace and trying to best for my family and other important things in my life e

Woah true

yesss I’ve deleted twitter many times for that reason

Same here. I deleted my Twitter account after more than 10 years of owning it. I left for that very same reason. Oh, and severe anxiety on top of that.

Did u do it !? how it feels ?

Did you doit girl?

That’s already February,how is it going?

I don't deleted all my social media I feel you most people who are on social media don't even have an normal life .. they just want vadiliation . I feel like sometimes people don't understand your sturggles you face in life. My twin flame she treat me like crap she never make contact with me. I am in a kramic relationship effected on me. She just never make contact with to me , to atleast check up on me. I am not chasing her no more. It's done. Self love and self worth and self respect.. so called friend

@@mrs.camillewarrenempress3115 Yeah true that. People should use the time for self development instead of social media.

It's really is unfortunately

Hey! how’s it going?

@@abbey3806 it's going really well, actually. i really do not feel the need to post my life or see what others are doing. it's made me a lot more productive too :) my studying has gotten better so yeahhh

Seba Okami I‘m sorry to hear that! :( but I’m glad that you left these fake people behind and hopefully feel a lot better now 💕

@@ani1528 Thank you. I was thinking, without being too weird or anything, facebook was an addiction for me, or almost. I was so on edge for the likes, the pictures, the popularity, I was so stressed posting something and waiting for the reactions. I knew I had to leave it but I never could. Now it's like nothing for me, after all this time off I don't even think in going back, not at all. So, I think this is a gift from my cat, I really miss him but I think all the good things he gave to me in all these 19 years, and closing the door to this parade of fake people and all, I consider it the ultimate present.
