i struggled so much to delete instagram 😭 but i’m definitely happier for it. every time i get the temptation, i go on insta on my laptop and i always end up feeling like shit. getting off the app made me realize i don’t care about other people’s lives in a superficial manner. like you’re SO right, i truly cannot keep up with other people’s relationships and fashion nova deals and shit lmfao. and i feel that much more at peace precisely because i let go of the pressure to be so superficially involved. also, when you say your brain is quieter, that makes me wonder: do you have an inner monologue? an “inner voice”? or just visual thinking or unsymbolized thinking (no voice or pictures)? i usually don’t have any voice or visuals when i think, and it’s more like all my thoughts are happening subconsciously. when i doom scroll, my thoughts are pushed further down (by the clutter of tiktok or insta, etc) but it doesn’t bring me peace in the same way that just sitting with my own thoughts do.
I totally get what you mean about enjoying not being in the loop. I like having a sincere and suprised reaction to the news that i'm missing online. And too, i find that I do more research myself when people catch me up.
It’s such a weird feeling hearing something you didn’t already see on ig or Tiktok. But it kinda reaffirms that you’re distancing yourself from online spaces and feels good
I was thinking of deleting instagram for a while, so I was really interested to hear your experience. I instantly switched over and deleted the app when you said your brain got quieter. I was sold! Great video 🙌
needed this, going thru a terrible breakup rn that was out of nowhere and i was treated so poorly. social medias just rotted my brain i’ve been doomscrolling and anxious+insecure
@@jacobdreamsasmr thank you so much it really means a lot you have no idea. this was the first person i’ve loved and been so close to and the entire thing has me messed up since it was out of the blue. your videos help a lot since i’ve been staying up wayyy too late unable to sleep. i think i need to fix that and work on healing. thank you 💗💗
i deleted my IG at the end of last year and it’s so nice how much i DO NOT miss it. it felt very freeing! there was so much stupid pressure that i was putting on myself for no reason with it and i never even really used it often. i’ve begun detaching from most social media and i think it’s been shockingly helpful for me. maybe not for everyone, but i kind of love being unreachable. i hate how social media makes people feel entitled to unlimited access to you.
I've realised you're taking really shallow breaths. And I understand not wanting to use a foam cover for the sake of sound quality. I would suggest using your diaphragm while breathing. You'll be much more comfortable if you can sustain it
It’s crazy. I just deactivated mine(because I want a break) and idk if I wanna go back. Like I’ve read all these present messages and it’s true. It started becoming a thing where I was obsessed with being on top. Now I’m just doing what I like. Not forcing things to happen. My REAL friends call me/text me. It’s like I’m in my Own world and that’s not selfish!
@@jacobdreamsasmr also I related to you about the ex thing. He wanted to be my friend and I was like.. I need to actually get over them. So I’m ACTUALLY healing now. I needed to face my demons head on to ACTUALLY heal! Stay strong friend! It’s nice to know others are in the same page as me!☺️
You deleting insta is the same with me to Tiktok. That app is so hazardous cuz i dont realize it's been 3 hours since i opened it sometimes. I deleted it three months ago
It rots the brain its full of porn and superficial nonsense. I used it for a while, but only to keep up with actors and stuff but I barely bother with it at all.
Basically what I heard was you let successful people on Instagram give you low self esteem because you compare yourself to them? I understand mental health is important but cmon bro , you need to man up fr. This generation of men are becoming to soft
I think it’s very courages and “manly” of him to remove himself from a platform that doesn’t positively benefit him. There’s literally no use of staying on there, the apps boring anyways. The argument of “this generation of people are soft” is SOOOOO incredibly old, times are changing, GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!
I respect the transparency from him, I respect that he understands and feels the need to make certain adjustments in his life to make his outview more positive all of that is great but, personally I just think it is a little soft with all the problems currently going on. He’s blessed to have first world problems such as being able to scroll through a social media app & have self esteem issues cause you’re not on the same level as your peers or whatever it may be. We need more MEN in these times for guidance not grown boys trying to teach little boys
@@goldhatakebut why exactly are you looking for the epitome of manliness on an asmr channel? why are you going out of your way to shame a creator in the little community he created who his followers find comfort in? the whole point of asmr is to get little tickles in your ears and relaxation, what about any of this made you think that your hulk in shining armor would be HERE??? with all due respect, maybe this isn’t the content or creator for you?
With all due respect you sound like a woman & you wouldn’t know a clue about the struggles or hardships of what it takes to become a man so, don’t ever speak on it. Also I may have came off harsh but and I’m sure even he could understand the points I’m trying to make himself & the reason why I’m speaking on it, is because it was the topic at hand asmr or not lol. At the end of the day it is only my opinion. I wish nothing but the best for him
Maybe for sake of argument Both statements can be true but you know what bro. At the end of the day we’re not perfect. We’re all humans & life is just an experience. I’m not here to disregard his feelings no matter how small his problem may seem …. When it rains it grows my friend.
you merge asmr with self development content, it’s so good
100% agree
I love how honest you are in these videos
this mic is so crisp, thank you for this good sleep I’m about to have ☺️
" I think I like this little life" that was cute 😂

also, when you say your brain is quieter, that makes me wonder: do you have an inner monologue? an “inner voice”? or just visual thinking or unsymbolized thinking (no voice or pictures)? i usually don’t have any voice or visuals when i think, and it’s more like all my thoughts are happening subconsciously. when i doom scroll, my thoughts are pushed further down (by the clutter of tiktok or insta, etc) but it doesn’t bring me peace in the same way that just sitting with my own thoughts do.
I do, I almost always have a voice I'm interacting with. That probably sounds bad but I do think it's just the critic in myself

Just remember it took me a while to get there, be patient and maybe try picking up a book when you’re struggling w it. That helped me

Don’t be too hard on yourself, it takes time, just do a little bit each day and it’ll add up. Time heals all i stg

7:25 im cracking tf up LMAOO, I absolutely understand tho. doom scrolling/phone addiction is such a real and scary thing
I agree wholeheartedly with your chat…I was totally hooked to Instagram - deleted it about a month ago - I’m feeling 100% better !
also i think the metaphor you gave for the differences between being on IG vs not having it is very fitting!
Have you thought about making a podcast? I could listen to you talk for hours
I have a bit, I kinda treat this as a whispered podcast, but I'd love to do it in a normal voice if people were interested
I've realised you're taking really shallow breaths. And I understand not wanting to use a foam cover for the sake of sound quality. I would suggest using your diaphragm while breathing. You'll be much more comfortable if you can sustain it
You're totally right, I should just take deeper breaths too. I just don't want to leave an uncomfortable amount of silence yk
You’re so real for this
Love the whisper rambles and long videos!
gonna listen to this while i play pokemon
24:09 💀
loove the mic setting so far!
Love your videos
*Instagram is trash honestly. Amazing audio/video!*
Love the regular uploads :D
really love the mic, very relaxing!
Mama, kudos for saying that. For spilling.

Deleting Instagram is the most peaceful thing I’ve done for myself
You deleting insta is the same with me to Tiktok. That app is so hazardous cuz i dont realize it's been 3 hours since i opened it sometimes. I deleted it three months ago
I got rid of Tiktok last month too. My problem was just checking it every few minutes. Has it been hard for you or was it pretty easy to get over?
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Kj apa?
U should do a soft spoken video ✌️

YASSS EARLY
