      I completely understand where you’re coming from and it’s scary because social media outlets have become “high school” all over again. We take every measure possible to make sure we show ourselves in the best light, but so much of what we get on it is superficial. Face to face communication and true human interaction is dwindling by the day.

      Its called being self aware and disciplined. also if you have a tough time getting started, make two short lists.
      The first list is what it would be like if you did what you are meant to do aka all the great things that would come out of it.
      The second list is what it would be like if you DIDN'T do what you were meant to do and what would it be like aka all the bad things (feeling like shit, unaccomplished, missing deadlines, failing, being homeless - if you go down the rabbit hole deep enough)
      This works most of the time as it really helps me put things into perspective

Now for my relax time or breaks i use my own room or living room to watch Netflix or even play videogames. Also, have a schedule. Wake up and work from 9am to 2pm, and set breaks between those hours, at least thats in my case. Hope it helps.

    I quit social media about a month ago...realized how alone I truly am. But guess what. It was 100% worth it. I became WAY more productive. Started doing things that I didn’t think I’d ever do. My mind just became more focused on my goals. My confidence BOOSTED in a matter of days. And it just gets better and better as the days go by. I started to see things more clearly and my personality became more vibrant in a way. Social media is millions of people living a fake life. And without it, I was TRULY myself.

My relationships seem more genuine now. When I got engaged I got to tell all my friends in person. I get to experience life more.

    I was suffering from depressions anxiety due to bullying. On social media, I would see my bullies living happily after what they’ve done to me. I would see the political shit happening and get frustrated. I would see the riots that angered me. I would see people who I compared myself to. I could never detach myself from my electronic since I was always waiting for a text. I decided to delete all social media, and went back once. Then deleted and made sure not to go back to it again. I didn’t need social media. I was able to detach myself and find my inner peace. Of course there are many problems I still go through, but I’m getting rid of them one at a time. My stress levels are lower, and I have more time to do stuff. Setting my priorities straight allowed me to grow as an individual. I hope it can do the same for you too!

      Social media does connect people, yet does the complete opposite, as well. In just one minute, thanks to social media, we can find someone that we would have otherwise probably never found. Whether it be someone we want to reconnect with, or someone whom we've never met and met through whatever app/site, but because of distance we probably would have never crossed paths with. You've got to appreciate that aspect of social media, where clearly it's brought people together and even created beautiful relationships. But like anything else in this world, it can be toxic if we use it too much. Moderation is key with anything. Don't spend too much time behind a screen, remember you are a human being who needs to, physically, interact with other human beings and not just text or make a phone call. 💓

      Third, whenever you want to re-install it, read about benefits of social media detox.

    I quit Facebook and Instagram, but now I am addicted to UA-cam, like three hours per day. But I could say that when I was subscribed to Facebook and Instagram I was sad all the time because of all the perfect lifestyle you see in those platforms. Now with UA-cam it’s totally different, I watch science, self improvement, health, books and a lot of interesting channels not just people with their “perfect life”. And of course I am not a native English speaker, so I use UA-cam to practice my skills, so double gain.

    I deleted Instagram and Snapchat because I have an important exam coming up. Went out with my friends a few times and was so surprised to see how the whole dinner was revolved around just taking photos and not catching up to each others' lives even though we were meeting after 6 months. Kinda makes me want to not download them back altogether

      Trumpis God Clearly you did not understand what I said. I never said you could focus on unlimited amount of information at once. I was stating that your brain does not just stop remembering things after a certain amount of time because “awe, whoops... looks like you capped out your 2tb brain, guess I have to delete some knowledge real quick so I can learn some new shit”.

      I see the need for constant contact with my phones as a type of addiction that requires my detox SNS. If I spend too much time on my phone, obsessively checking the internet, social media, mail, or messages, it makes my feel bad…these things kind of message releases dopamine into my brains, making me feel not bad, and want more….
      But I sure feel better when the person I am with looks at me instead of their phone…❤️💖😘

I also felt like the days were shorter and I got bored easily when off my phone. Also, my attention span was garbage because of social media. Now, I feel like I can really focus and get things done. And overall, I just FEEL better. There’s no way I’m going back. Do yourself a favor and live in the moment, don’t live to capture one for likes. You’ll enjoy life more that way.
