Me too. I get sick of myself for always reaching for my phone to see what’s posted since the last time I put my phone down two minutes ago.

Im 14 and mine is getting worse

Quit social media! I did it and I dont miss it. 😄 it was a waste of time all this time!!

Holy fuck man this is me !!!

Delete it. You will see a huge difference. I did. I deleted my socials 1,5 years ago and it has been life changing.

More often than not, you meet negative people which in turn makes you feel down about yourself because your subconsciously comparing your life to theirs when you don't even know what's actually going on behind the scenes

​@@josephdennis-h8c exactly , go tell that to my wife , always saying to me "why them and not us !!"

​@@redanapalm tell her that no one has everything and she has many things that alot of people dream to have

Jes I hear very confident ppl say this also. It even happens without people knowing :))

That's true I see so many ppl on there that are doing so much better than me not that I'm doing bad Some ppl just put there whole life on social media

Why are you on KZfaq then

@@fabs2777 although it is a social media, I feel like KZfaq can be used in a better (or less harmful) way than the other ones, although there are contents in short form like this that are the worst ones for you, you can also watch less stimulating things (long, unedited videos, for example a lecture or an audiobook). I would say that it can be a good tool as long as you watch out for what you're consuming

I'm tired of wasting my life on a screen. Social media was the only thing that has been keeping me from reaching my goals and priorities. Never again will I compare my life to somebody else's because that's when you feel down about yourself social media may make people's lives look all sunshine and roses all the time, but you don't know what's actually going on behind the scenes. Make this make sense.

@@fabs2777 KZfaq is just watching vids and that

True bro! I always told people about Instagram and how it gives you poor mental health, they thought I was weird!

tryna do the same, but remember, success won't come overnight. it just takes some patience

Thx, same to you guys! W E C A N D O I T!

I’d highly reccomend hamza to y’all, he talks about video game addiction and how to quit and stuff like that, stopping instant gratification activities

@@nonameideas1324 yeah the progress will be slow, but progress is progresss we’re all gonna make it brah 🔱

@@bae9116 We gotta become Adonisssss !!!

@@OmarHernandez-nd5wh You’ve never just sat down, watched the sunset and appreciate life?

I moved away from social media and now I spend more time with family they don’t judge me they just accept me. I’m more happier now. Of course I tried social media everyone did but now it’s just stupid. I can’t even talk to people now with out seeing a phone infront of their face. People need to find a hobby other than their phone.

Yeah. Keeps you grounded and gives you a more realistic image of the things that are important/other people

Me too

You're here?

@@cgortz89 KZfaq isn't normal social media it's a streaming service and it's different than other social media sites.

And yet ur on KZfaq making comments interacting with strangers on the internet such a hypocrite

​@@Deity_devilare you acoustic???

KZfaq is no different from the others stop scrolling

Same but try to avoid KZfaq shorts

How about tiktok?

@@muhammadhasif2859 tik tok is a big no

bro yt is also very addictive more than Whatsapp i decided to go offline rn but that's so hard i still failed 😢

Such a powerful comment, Latina Pussy Slayer.

Yessireeee I’m 18 and just deleted social media 💪🏼😤

😹

I took the time I wasted in social media and put it back into productive things. I finally finished building my car I was putting off I refinished my benches I built from scratch with recycled wood. I finished a few video games and watched a few movies I wanted to see. I never noticed how much social media takes up your time it’s a big time waster.

@@ryans413same here although I’ve been just traveling and enjoying life especially the little things. Just the other day I watched the sunset from a cliff above the ocean and I felt so alive it was incredible. It’s almost like I forgot how beautiful life was until I deleted all my social media

I’m the same way I noticed as soon as I quit the social media I became more happy and closer with my family which I’ve enjoyed being with. I’m hardly on my phone at all there’s nothing I need to check unless someone texts me or calls me.

Social media is destroying people's ability to focus

@@princevivek5320 literally. The internet in general has been making us sick

@@rafaelatakami8019 it's been 1month i have uninstalled insta & facebook (only using snapchat) and now I don't feel depressed cause I am spending time with my family and reading books and working on my goals I feel so much happier it was a good decision for me

You tube shorts are bad for this. I went back and watched a 40 minute documentary on Titanic and really enjoyed that more then the 50 some you tube shorts I watched

Yep twitter is especially bad. There's some very bad vibes about it. Everyone just screaming, being smug and so on. Not to mention any lack of nuance. The lonely feeling specially comes from the fact that no one seems to be responding to someone else... All of it is just a monologue even if there's a couple tags.

Lol I don’t even bother with Twitter …go for a walk. Volunteer. Old folks home bingo is hilarious and 🤩 fun they take it seriously.

Just the fact that you have to "cut back" instead of dropping it should be enough for social media use to qualify as a true addiction, since it is.

Twitter , Facebook , Instagram , Snap Chat , Tinder , What’s App , Tick Toc , Only Fans , Twitch are all awful and you should stay away and enjoy your life don’t waste it scrolling through feeds and comparing yourself to others instead you should be enjoying the little things in life family nature your overall health fitness and have a hobby other then social media. Do some art paint something read a book work on a car build that project car something other then wasting the day on Tick Toc.

I completely agree...I am not enjoying anything from last 1.5 or 2 yrs ..even things that I used to enjoy..listening to music was not exciting anymore....was very worried about what is wrong with me...I thought I have fallen into a state of depression. ..but overuse of social media seems to be the real culprit

I did quit too

Even I want to delete my Instagram but after few days i install it again because I get remind of the posts which I have saved in Instagram where as snapchat the issue is streaks which I have maintained

How long has it been since you last played

@@benjmeister227 about 2-3 months

i mean you can still enjoy playing videogames once in awhile tho, it isn't as bad as overstimulation by social media

@@franklayton2243 Video games could work for some people. But the video games I play can be replaced with reality. Like DBZ or any aspect of being op with a high limit

Which Hamza? Who prefer read kuran instead of playing?

Same here.. once the pandemic hit, I felt lonely, got addicted to social media and constantly sought attention. Now that I've quit for a year I've never felt so much happier and have appreciated the present moment.

so what the fuck do you do in the evening when you already did all the things to self improve?

Play good games then

@@sweetsmakemeshredded3672 bro thats the question. After doing something productive for school or improvement purposes ( Reading,Meditating and journaling) i usually tend to be able to watch some Netflix or hang out with friends. But not not before that. What i found very interesting and also very comforting is that its also okay to be bored and to let the mind wander. Oftentimes we consume social media or else to keep us distracted from what lies deep down in us. It really is very eye opening to let these emotions come to the surface for once. Taking some time for yourself,without any distractions, just to be able to think is very valuable.

@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 got some recommendations maestro ?

@@g--raff8154 Hitman games keep me occupied for hours since certain challenges and missions require precise planning. Other then that just avoid those pointless mmo games.

We really need more people like you gurrrl

How did you even do it??I quit Instagram years ago but I cant quit facebook because its the only social media that entertains me😭

​@@madj7152Just delete it , it's easy if you push yourself to do it.

OK now how's ur life going ??

@@aquibkhan1707 They are busy enjoying life, social media free.

Has it made things better? I need to do as well🙁

​@@1991-presentI opened again instagram and tiktok also for my job.I djing and i think these are good for uploading videos.But sometimes i wanna delete them

Get rid of FB too

Go out and make some friends

At least KZfaq has educational videos and personal interest videos that can actually teach you something valuable, it can be bad too doing too much of it, but still the least damaging of all the social media.

As we watch this on a short video, the irony is evident.

Set up a timer for each app and reduce it day by day. Find some activities to do instead of wasting time on social media. I know its hard. I'm wasting 4 hours on average on Insta, KZfaq & Reddit. I have only just begun bettering myself.

@@MrTwister980 I love this thank you♥️

You're still not at that point then

I disagree with this. In the unfortunate event you get into an accident or your car malfunctions you will need that cell phone.

@@SakheleNtabaor for navigation, I’m just not reading a map, too inconvenient.

what if i need to text my mom because she gets worried if i get lost

This is not a good idea. There can always be emergencies.

Why ?, I might need my phone if I have some car trouble etc, it's better to just delete social media al together, I only keep KZfaq with no notifications because it has educational videos.

Me

Negativity🤬Has Overshadowed👥 So Many Positive🙏🏾People Like Me😔

Same… when I took a year break from social media I lost every one. Still not worth going back for but I realized that most people in my life weren’t really adding any value outside of social media.
