I have deleted ALL my social media. The only accounts on my name are email, WhatsApp and UA-cam. I feel better already. Now I have more time for reading, studying, the gym and if I do something I do it for me not to post it online. It feels weird but liberating. Also I recommend everyone the Netflix documentary the social dilemma. It’s what made me delete my accounts.
I've heard SO much about that Netflix documentary, I'm going to make time to watch it hopefully in the next few weeks- looking forward to it! Also, thanks for sharing your experience, glad you're feeling better already, hope you continue to spend time in those things that matter!
There is a simple cure for social media, or screens in general. It is having a real experience in the real world. When I meet up with people. Take part in workshops and activities with other people - I put the toy in my bag and don't watch it during the whole time of activity. I don't miss the technology and false interactions through devices when I have the real thing.
Thank you for sharing this video :)) I'm glad there is someone else who thinks the way that I do about social media. My wish is that everyone quits social media :)
Claire Marie thanks for watching! I’m glad you can relate or agree with some things I mention. 🙂 I think if more people left social it would make a definite impact on a lot of lives for the better for sure! Thanks for your comment, I love hearing from you. 💛
You may have a few subscribers (and I understand audience size isn’t your pursuit) but your content is really helpful for people who have fomo/depression from social media.
You hit the head on the nail with me…comparing and not feeling like I’m growing. It’s time for me to ✌🏾✌🏾 with social media. I’m keeping YT as it’s been instrumental in me healing and learning. Yeap. Thanks!
Thank you for this, I’m considering deactivating my accounts for a while to achieve better stuff, and I think it would be better for my mental health anyway.
Disabled mine but someone logged in from the East Cost so i had to get back on it to change my password.. They hold you hostage by only allowing 1 deactivation per week.
Living through other people... I've been doing that, watching vlogs galore. Thank you for this video. I've been doing well with my break from instagram and facebook, but UA-cam has taken the place of them.
Why do you have so little following??? Like, you make the best videos EVER and everyone should watch them 😭♥️ you’re the reason i quit my social media TODAY
Thank you! That’s so nice. 🤗 I’m so glad you enjoy my videos, I wish more people would see them- hopefully overtime they will but even the few people that do see them, if it helps a few people that brings me so much joy. 🙂 Wahoo! That makes me so happy to hear- I think it’ll have a positive impact on you, you’ll have to keep me posted I’d love to hear how things change for you without it! 🙌🏽 you’ve got this girl!
Great video! It was really informative and I have to admit, I have some of those signs. I've been in and out of instagram and now that I have started my own business in corporate training and anchoring events it feels like a good medium for publicity but it doesn't seem to be working. And I get frustrated and addicted to investigating as some of my close friends unfollow me and my posts are not offensive at all. It is frustrating and it gets to me. If you were in my place would you just quit insta or do something else?
Thanks Yohann! Glad you found this video to be informative. Honestly I don't know the entirety of your situation or your business to know what would be best for you. But If it were me, I think that your wellbeing is #1 top priority. The business won't succeed unless you're in a healthy mindset and in a good place to perform at your best so if Instagram is taking away from that, i wouldn't waste my time. There's probably other ways to go about building your business, i would get creative and experiment with other things! Wishing you the best of luck with your business and life! Keep me posted.
@@carlyburr the minute I joined I was sucked into it. You're right it does affect my state of mind. I guess I just kept on believing that this was the only option- I mean EVERYBODY is on it, so it's the most obvious way to increase you're popularity. I guess I needed to hear it from someone, in this case read it😅. It's just frustrating, it eats you up slowly, questions and options and people's opinions keep on buzzing around your head, convincing you not to leave but they are not me. Thank you for replying Carly. I really appreciate your help specially from a youtuber like you. Continue the help you give and guide people with. And yes I will keep you informed with what I go through.❤️☺️🤘

Can't interact with anyone anymore nor go to any events due to the Democrat Lockdowns
@@migooknamja I hate them for that. I hate politicians too. We the people need to impeach Biden!!!!!!!

Did any of these signs sound like you? Let me know in the comments below!
Yes I always anxious and distracted and feeling the need for validation

You're most definitely correct, audience size isn't my pursuit. And I'm so happy to hear it's helpful for you. That's the goal!

I think you can keep it deactivated for as long as you’d like.
@@Crystal_D but if you deactivate it and then log back into it you have to wait a week to do it again
@@jsdm5007 I know. I was so mad when I had to wait a week. Never making that mistake again.
I only use youtube you are pretty
Wow, was talking about this before COVID happened and that's legendary.

UA-cam is social media way more than Pinterest is. Yet here you are
