I Deleted Social Media and Wrote a Book
Have you ever wondered what would become of your life if you replaced your screen time with literally anything else? Back in 2023, my answer to that question was "YES"! Now, it's December 19, 2024, and I've written my first self-improvement book.
I hope today's story time inspires you to replace your habit of doom scrolling with anything that is productive or beneficial to your overall well-being ❤️‍🩹
If you have any questions about my anxiety journey, please don't hesitate to ask in the comment section!

    I’ve been off for 2 1/2 years (I’m 23) and I just decided to search this topic to see if everyone feels the same way I do and you said something that shattered my damn heart… I didn’t even REALIZE that after I’d lose a girlfriend I’d see how amazing her life was or I’d see her with a new guy and how much this destroyed me in highschool. And I got my very first phone around the same exact time I got my first girlfriend (13 years old) so I’ve never had a relationship without social media involved so I didn’t even stop to think that people before our generation could move on easier because they didn’t constantly see what their exes where up to… wow that one was so personal

    It's interesting how some titles get so many views while others don't get as many. It's weird algorithm stuff. I've been thinking much more seriously about starting my own account, and I find yours interesting as it's kinda the opposite in content maybe of what i'd do but that's why I find it all the more interesting. One of the big and easier ones is react videos. Just choose a video that's already popular and react. to it/comment. Tarot is a passion of mine so been thinking of starting with that. I'm also good at talking about rough life experiences and especially with men, that's popular right now. I'm also semi photogenic so maybe female youtubers/tarot enthusiasts would like me more? Who knows. We all just want people to like us. Btw, I have the book you mentioned and am now inspired to read it. I would recommend Robert Green books to you if you're not afraid of being a bit Machiavellian. Art of Seduction and the laws of power.

    The hardest thing about quitting social media is sitting with discomfort. We're so used to being able to distract ourselves when discomfort arises that we've unlearned how to deal with it. Once you quit you sit there and the discomfort hits you and usually it's not something you can fix right away. For example curing loneliness will take a lot of time and effort before the discomfort of it finally subsides.

    I deleted instagram and threads in November and here we are a week away from Christmas and still haven’t looked back. I never had tik tok or twitter. Hardly ever use Facebook. I only use Snapchat and messenger because I actually interact with someone on those. I started getting into reading and just started being more productive and I wanted a closer bond with my daughter.

      Thank you so much! I’m excited to see how your leg warmers turn out! Adding the elastic at the top makes sure they don’t slip when you pull them all the way up. It gives the illusion that they’re tighter around the ankle :)

    I just deleted my Instagram account - this app was the issue for me, never had TikTok or Twitter or Snapchat. I deleted the Facebook app but kept my account active and only the Messenger app on my phone. I feel a huge sense of relief and space now in my life to do things intentionally only. And also I was getting fed up with the exposure to random people and ppl reaching out to me who I really don’t want to talk to. And btw I TOTALLY relate to you when you said that you got self conscious about being alone. ❤ it’s the same for me, I am quite an independent person and spend most of my time alone even though I have some true friends. But social media makes me feel like I’m some weird outcast of society. Love your video and happy for you! 😊
