Now, this is the real CONTENT.

I’ve deleted all my social media apps (except KZfaq) and now Im practicing minimalist lifestyle. I’m so happy with my decision.

WOAAAH!! He’s my psychology teacher in UST and is also my favorite professor in my first year. He seriously made me think of shifting from BS Biochemistry to BS Psychology bec of how interesting he makes of Psychology. He’s just the best!! So proud and delighted to watch him here!! ♥

I gave up facebook because I wanted to have a healthy mind. I'm very active on IG but I watch who I follow. We're already living in a very toxic social world, we have to choose what we will put in our minds.

This is the exact reason why I already deactivated my fb account since 2015, and no longer active on my other social media accounts.

Ito yung reason why i uninstall my Facebook, insta at twitter app because everytime nakakakita ako ng nakakapagpa insecure sakin nag seself doubt ako tapos na dadown. Tapos na iistress ako sa mga balita at mga nasa newsfeed ko. May times din na naiisip ko din mag suicide dahil sa sobrang down ko at nag ooverthink ako kung bakit ganito ganyan. Almost 1 month na ako no fb twitter at insta and it really helps po, naging ok na ako ngayon at mas nagkaroon ako ng time with my family.

Just finished listening the audiobook Deepwork by Cal Newport. He said that if you want to be productive and focused, quit social media. I removed instagram and facebook in my phone for 5 months now. I still use facebook only in my desktop intended for work purposes only.. My anxiety decreased after doing this. It really helped me alot. I am happier. Thank you for sharing this Isabelle. #newsubscriber

i dont use social media to connect to anyone i dont freakin care about the life of others. i just use it to entertain, learn and update myself with whats happening in life.

Ive deactivaed facebook. Not really active in IG. Kept only youtube and messenger. Ive realized that social media is actually very toxic and have created a whole world of perfection.

Thats why i deleted my socials. Blessing in disguise. This is what a content should be, valuable and knowledgeable.

This kind of content is what we actually need right now.

I was inactive in social media for almost 5 years and do meditation to focus in a real world than in a social media world which crashed my self esteem. I am happy with my decision and I learn more about my self and now I'm very confident of who I really am and need no more validation from the people around me nor from social media friends. Meditation sessions help me to go through all of it. I'm proud of who I become right now😊

Belle you should have a podcast. This is really good.

Thank God when im with my friends i put my mobile inside my bag so i can interact with them. Its also a sign of respect. However, sometimes the group of people im with are focused looking at their phones... Im just smiling but im observing... tsk tsk tsk #sadreality

Almost one year na akong di nag i fb...bilang ofw na dati parang one way ito ng communication sa family..lately nagkaroon ako ng bad feelings kasi minsan mas updated pa sila mag comment sa post ng iba..o kaya mas nakikita ko na parang very connected at sweet sila sa mga taong actually di naman nila kakilala..don nagsimula ang insecurity ko sa buhay,..at don ko na rin naisip na mas unahin ang sarili kesa tumulong at unahin ang kanilang problema lalo financially ..dahil sabi ko ngayon pa man parang di ko maramdaman yong pagmamahal nila paano na kung wala na akong maitulong sa kanila...sa ngayon medyo ok na ako,...thanks sa video na to belle at parang nasabi ko sa sarili ko na di ako dapat makonsensya na nag disconnect ako sa fb ..at less concious na sa balita sa pamilya dahil di na nkakabuti sa sarili ko ang epekto ng social media..youtube na lang pinagkakalibangan ko at music this time

Quit fb and IG... I am into twitter and youtube coz of my love for BTS. I am an introvert btw. Nobody knows the real me on twitter, I only post good things and good news about BTS. KZfaq is not that impressive but I only come here for excellent and valuable content like BTS and contents like this 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is the very reason why I deactivated my Facebook account in 2019. And it helps so much with my mental health, I don’t feel the fear of missing out of what my friends are doing, also I don’t read negative posts and negative comments of other people which are my biggest reason for having a negative mind set. At the end of the day, I know that the only validation I need is God’s😍😊 Thank you for making this video, Belle! A must watch. 😊

This is very timely, I experienced a lot of these effects for the past 3 years. One thing that helped me stop the comparison, the jelousy, anxiety and stress due to this addiction is to unfollow people, pages & group that contributes to it. I started following influencers that makes me grateful of what I have without any validation and makes me think that life is still wonderful even if it’s not shared on social media. I appreciate the time I spent with my family and even the little things that I have now. This makes me realized that, once I let this addiction control me then I can no longer help myself because no one knows the battle you’re in when you yourself can’t control it. Everything starts to change when you decide to do something about it.

Thanks for sharing this video. Its about time that we focus on mental illness. Its true that social media has its good and bad effects on people. I am an example of that long time ago. I was on Facebook all the time and I get jealous when I see my friends having such a good time, traveling, starting their own lives, having fun with their family, etc. I began to compare myself to them, I asked myself "why is my life not like that?", " why are they happy and I'm not?" and I wanted what they have and it gave me depression & anxiety. So I went to therapy and started to limit my time on social media and i removed people on Facebook/Instagram that are toxic or should i say causes my negativity and my life has improved immensely. I started to feel grateful for what I have even the little things and it made a difference in my life. I feel that all of us should limit our time on social media and start seeing the world around us and spend more time with our family and friends. Its ironic because I have been working in a mental health area for several years and I experienced depression/Anxiety. Instead of feeling ashamed, I let other people know what i am going through and how I overcome the depression and anxiety. People should learn to empathize with other people that are experiencing this kind of difficulty in their lives. It's about time that we make everyone aware in the Philippines about Mental Health since it is a stigma over there. There is nothing wrong in seeking help to a psychiatrist or therapist. This just shows that you are willing to change and work on getting your mental health back on track. People such as family or friends should stop saying that people are "crazy" because they are seeing a psychologist or therapist. In addition, if you know that your family member or friends are suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, etc. it makes a difference when you show them that you are supportive of them seeking help. Family & friends support makes a difference and it will help speed the process of healing. Make them aware that you are always there for them, you don't need to give them advice but just showing that you are willing to listen to them makes a big difference. If i go back to the Philippines, my advocacy is on mental health awareness. I hope that someday I will have a chance to do what you do in regards to mental health awareness. Please continue to make videos like this. I apologized if my comment is long.

Bravo, Belle! This is the kind of content worth subscribing to. 👏 Looking forward to part 2 and 3. Such an insightful talk felt like I had a session. This will help a lot of people. Thank you.

Finally, someone talked about a very important and timely issue. BTW, once I told my friend that FB makes me feel jealous of other's achievements in life. She simply said she is not like that . So for long, I thought I was abnormal for feeling that way. It is just recently I felt relieved that I deactivated my FB to escape the pressure of validating myself to my friends.

I didn't think that this kind of vlog is all I ever needed to watch. I learned a lot. Thanks Doc and Belle.

I'm not fond of social media (posting photos and stuff) but I love this! Na-experience ko din yung self-doubt noon eh kaya medyo nag-MIA ako sa social media coz I know na hindi healthy yung may ganung feeling. Very informative nito. :) Thank you so much. :) Kelan kaya tatanggalin ng instagram yung like button? Can't wait. Hahaha 🧡

the reason why im not posting anything on all my social media accounts except insta stories cause no ones gonna see how many people took time to see my post and it disappears after 24hrs, so basically just having simple things to post for awhile but not being committed to it. this video very helpful for those people who are just starting to feel the struggle. i am happy and contented right now as i practice this thing for almost 2 years now. im 22, and feeling proud for this little thing that i am practicing. it doesnt remove all the negative thoughts but atleast not being involved in being in a competition 😊

Sobrang korek. Parang naging requirement sa IBANG mga fb users ang kumain sa labas at magtravel para may mai-post kahit impractical for them. Kahit they only have limited resources. Maging IN lang. So sad for them

What a great content. Everything was on point. Fave part was this - “I do not have any control on what they think. It’s their opinion. At the end of the day it is me who knows the truth about who I am and that’s Im going to believe in”. Thank you so much for this! Can't wait for the other parts!

I am in awe on how he explain the battle of yourself from social media.. Dagdag kaalaman sa sarili.. Thanks to this information.. Hindi pa huli ang lahat Know your worth. Know your value. Know who you are.

that's what you call quality content, good job Isabelle, keep uploading similar contents, thanks

Ow em! Dr. Rich! He's our therapist. He's very good and sensitive. I'm very proud to see this. ❤

Ms. Belle, thank you very much for this content. You don't know how much help this makes for someone like me who is struggling in validation and self-doubt. I really appreciate this a lot. 💕

This kind of Topic or kind od Talk should be air in every TV Station at least once a week or every Sunday night. This is to let people understand their doubts, especially the young generation who are suffering from depression due to pressure and disappointment. Let's push social awareness and fight depression by using social media in a RIGHT WAY, RIGHT UNDERSTANDING & RIGHT COMMUNICATION.

Belle, thank you for HELPING not only Filipinos but everyone through your channel.

Wow! Eto yung vlog na matutulala ka nalang after kasi andami mong narealize.

Recently i experienced this kind of self doubt because of social media.Before i watched this video i already uninstall my fb and Instagram. Thank you for this kind of video. Today i just want to focus whats good for me. God blessed

Really glad that there are no toxic people in this comment thread. This should be the content of most celebrities, to use their clout to educate instead of just impressing and making people insecure.

Thank you for this video. Well, I recently limit myself with the use of social media esp. FB and IG because these have really consumed my time. Except for youtube videos where I can learn a lot such as this video.

14 mins of my time on social media that is actually worthy. More of this stuff ms. Belle💪🏼💪🏼💝💝

When we keep on doing something just to "post" and "share", we are not really living our lives. We're merely portraying to others what it looks like to enjoy; we're part of that gorgeous photo, but we will miss the part of experiencing the real joy of living.

gone through anxiety and at some point i realized that being on social media made me into that person, so ideleted my facebook app months ago and rarely visit twitter (for news about certain people i 100%ly adore) and I can say that I'm happier.. like how happy I was before social media thanks for a great content ♥

I super love it when you speak on mental health. You are a voice in these crowded and pressured people. Thank you ms. Daza. I am suffering from social media anxiety too. Everything you mention was all true. Its all true and whats sad is its hard to conquer this problem. I am still suffering at the same time fighting.

Ako lang ba yung nalulungkot everytime na may get together kayo ng friends nyo pero sila nakatingin lagi sa phone nila 🙁, since I don’t use FB anymore ( I can literally live without it) and they are still into it di maiiwasan na they are always checking their phones. Yung gusto mo sila sabihan pero it’s their lives. Sana mainfluence ko din sila someday.

Thanks for sharing this to us, Belle! Learned a lot along side you. Powerful content!

After you posted that how i lost 68lbs after giving birth I've come to realized how real you are as a person. Thanks for this video and waiting for more parts.. for almost a year now I've been disconnected to all my social media app except youtube and this decision is the best I've ever done ❤

How empowering belle, thanks for the content. Looking forward on the next part of these videos.

OMG Sir Toffee!!! I will never forget him because I learned so much from him when I was studying in UST. I'm a Fine Arts student back then and I was considering taking Psychology as my second degree because of him. Sobrang galing niya magturo!

omg this has a 100% substance, i love the content. Thanks for this!

_Totally unrelated_ but sya yung prof mo sa college na hindi ka talaga mg aabsent kahit baha pa sa umaga at ang hirap mkasakay kasi ang quality tlga ng lectures. 👏👏

I subscribed belle cause this content is what people need. Thanks for putting this up.👍🏻

I love this kind of video. I developed social anxiety at the early age and developed depression then developed generalized anxiety disorder and panic attack been suffering for 8months now and planning to meet psychiatrist this month because my life now is not normal. I’m now 22 and this is really a hard battle it feels like I want to end everything but scared.

How can anyone dislike this video??! Very informative, very relatable. Thank you for this content, Belle! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.❤️

There's always pros and cons to everything. I don't use social media often but I still feel depressed. Not really sure where it came from.

I quit Facebook a month ago. And no looking back. Sa unang linggo mahirap, siguro naging habit na ng katawan ako pagkagising, scroll agad. Or check kung sino mga naglike. Hindi magandang habit. Nauubos oras ko, hndi malapagensayo ng maigi. At may inner jealousy sa mga fb friends bakit ang saya saya nila. Puros comparison. Validation. Salamat nalang din at nakatulong sakin ang pagiging minimalist ko naiaapply ko na sya as social minimalist. Piling pili tao ang nakapaligid sa buhay ko ngaun, mga taong nakakaintindi ng kalagayan ko at mga taong naniniwala sa kakayanan ko. Salamat dito sa video na ito at mas marami pang makakarealize about social media addiction. Depression and anxiety is real and serious.

Isabelle Daza saving this generation.

Indeed! Thank you Ms. Belle

Im on my 6th day without Facebook and Instagram becauae Im on a 30day Social Media detox. I still have my messenger because my agents are communicating with me through it, in a GC. I dont check stories and I dont post stories through Messenger, though. At first, it felt weird and there is this urge but as the day goes - Im getting more used to it. I still have KZfaq to check on vlogs for health and wellness though, as much as possible, no celebrity checks hahaha but this is video is different even if Isabelle Daze posted it. The content of this video is very good, made so much sense. We dont need somebody else's validation. Thank you for sharing this! 💕

Thank you Belle!! This is what i need, the psychologist explained it very well. 😊

More of this please. So much wisdom to live by just by watching this content.

100% good content! Thank you! I’m now subscribing and waiting for new videos like this. ❤️

Super helpful video!!!! Thanks BELLE. You’re helping a lot of people open their minds on the reality of social media.

Learned a lot. More of this kind of vlogs. Social Media now's really expanding, and some of its effects are rampant and negative, though we can tell that it's best feature is connecting people from one way or another. This kind of vlog is trying to re-asses what/ how we can limit into it, and what we might have to do, and what other things we can still do without those kind of platforms. So good to hear opinions from Sir Psychologist and Ms. Belle.👍👊☝️

Thank you for sharing this. I truly appreciate it.

I agreed s payo ni Doc at Ms. Belle, masyado na tayong kinain ng systema sa social media.Ang dming negative impact s sobrang pag gmit ng social media like jelousy, self pitty, depression at marami pang iba. Honestly, madami na akong in-unfollow n friends ko s facebook ksi ang active nila mag post..😅 parang every minute kailangan meron sila dpt i-post.. hahah. Sana maging eye opener toh satin lahat. 👏👐

Can't wait for part 2/3 and 3/3...more please.

I deactivated my instagram account because I became too vain. It started out as an inspiring hobby, but then I started doing things I never thought I'd do like pretending i'm actually like this or like that, and the people who followed me were rich 14 year old kids who had their life planned for them while I, a naive 16 year old (back then) who wasn't very rich started being vain and lied to herself that she's THAT. I never want to return to that toxic place. Isang taon na since I last logged in, but I logged in three weeks ago but I never opened it as often as I used to. It's very rewarding to not think about what others think of you.

I wept. It hit me and educated me so much. Thank you! 😭

This content is the real deal. ❤ An eye opening to people wants to have a peaceful mind, living and life. Overcoming the hardship & struggles is really hard but worth to gain for your own good. I loved this topic. ❤ Thank you for this video Isabelle Daza. 💕

Very informative super relatable 🤗 Sino nag deactivate or laylow sa fb after ma watch too pa like po kung yes👍

The kind of vlogs that the society really needs. Thank you so much for this.

I'm so happy that you are using your influence for this..... I cried when you made that speech.

This is absolutely true..

This is A REAL content. I also battle with depression. I am not using facebook for a year and a half now and it is helpful. Though I seldom use Ig, I would want to post motivational quotes for MYSELF that would be helpful to others. Always think that whatever you do is for yourself and not to please anyone. Sometimes society judges or dictates us but its important to have something for yourself. Have a bit of “uniquness” or much better be unique. Depression is there...you just have to deal with it or else it will eat you up alive. I hope that Ms. Isabel do more of a content like this. One that really enlightens people 👍🏼❤️

I don't really subscribe to celebrities who has youtube. But this is the content i like! Someone like you who showcases unique concept! This moved me so much. I relate to this! Subscribed!

This really opens people's minds, very informative, love this.

Everyone on social media should see this.

Super informative! Excellent video! 💕👍

I have been suffering from anxiety, and I feel like this will eventually lead to depression. Deleted Instagram and Twitter last April. I still keep Facebook, so I can still read news and stuff, but I unfollowed every single one of my friends. I feel like the updates and news about the lives you follow on social media (even your closest friends) can contribute to self-pity, envy, etc., which will lead to anxiety and depression. I'm definitely feeling a lot better now and we'll see what happens.

Hayyyy finally naka tagpo din ako ng vlog na may natutunan ako, na mula umpisa gang matapos may sense i feel great now thanks ms. Isabel Daza🗯♥️👍

Everyone needs to watch this.

Gustong gusto ko talaga mga ganitong uri ng content nice one po Ms.Belle. Wala pa ba yung part two?

Speaks so much volume...such a hard pill to swallow...but it's really prevalent nowadays, how others' "beautiful life" makes you suffer...

The kind of content I’m willing to binge watch. Please keep it up! 😊❤️

I really love this video. It helps me a lot. Pls post another videos like this.

Thank you Miss Isabelle! Really great content 😊 we want to see more of this

Thats scary for young generation.Thank you for this video

This is one content that is worth watching.

CONTENT that makes sense! SUPER thanks!

He is one of our specialists during the review. Good job sir toffie

I quit Facebook two months ago. It really help me because I don’t have to feel sorry about myself being left behind by family and peers. Besides, I have a six year old and my health to worry about. Also, you can avoid people who reach out to you only during the times they need you. I wish I have family to run to when I need help, instead of the opposite. My parents help a lot of family pero kami mag kapatid we can’t run to family.

This is the best content on youtube. Hope that you will continue something like this, because a lot of people dont understand the negative effect of social media. Thank you Ms. Belle ❤️

Very much looking for the parts 2 and 3 to share with my class for understanding themselves. Thank you Ms.Belle for having this kind of content. Very helpful in our advocacies.

Hi Miss Isabel, I'm glad that you came up with this content, it's very timely. Social Media Addiction can be modified, through Behavioral Modification wherein you can use either punishment or reward to yourself whenever you are going to use soc.med apps. Sa pagiging comparative naman, it really happens, I have a niece who uses tiktok a lot , and make lots of videos and kapag pinost niya and walang nagview or naglike she tends to compare herself na sa iba, And that really is the negative side na nadudulot ng social media. Lalo na lahat ng soc.med halos may likes and comment section. Na nagtitrigger para magkaroon ng comparative system ang mga users.

Social media is becoming the number one cause of mental health and depression. Following a certain couple then you become so obsessed with them that every single movement, you interpret it and if you feel like they are not okay it's affects you as well. This video is a good way for other people to have social media hiatus or minimize usage perhaps

This is so far one of the best video I've ever watched. Thankyou so much Ms. Isabelle for such a very nice and informative vid. I learned a lot! Thankyou. A million thank you ❤

Thank you for this. Very very imformative. I'm always active on a lot of SMS especially FB and IG. I completely agree with the psychologist when he said that people tend to compare themselves to others and I'm so guilty of that. Instagram particularly made me realize that I lack tons of things and on certain areas. I always see beautiful people with clear smooth skin, beach-ready bodies, nice hippy clothes, and living "the life". I think that what I should really do is just focus on self improvement. Start the mindset of "You do you" and "I do me". PS, YT is quite a game changer because you can actually learn a lot of things. Channels like Ted-Ed is good and educational.

I just posted the photo I’ve been hesitant after watching this. My god, I just need to listen to this for that kind of irrelevant anxiety

I love you Isabelle. I'm really a fan of how real you are. And how dedicated you are to help others through your experiences :) keep on inspiring us! God bless you!

Thank You Isabelle Daza! Please post more of something like this!

Love it, Ms Belle!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 they kept on asking me why did i deactivate my fb account hehe, oh well hello socmed friends, here’s the ANSWER!! Thank you😊😊😊

THIS IS THE BEST. I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS VIDEO. VERY VERY EDUCATIONAL. GREAT JOB ISABELLE DAZA! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
