      No need to panic. You probably have friends, right? Text them and ask if they want to hang out and go do something outside. Find a common hobby or build something together. Or just simply take a walk and talk about each other. Make sure to delete youtube from your phone from time to time and simply do nothing.

    When I decided to quit social media two years ago, I did it because of the data collection at facebook. I decided to log back in a few months later after I quit and let me tell you- nobody even wrote a single message. Nobody noticed I was gone. A lot of friends became so irrelevant. I suddenly realized that what was happening on my social media had nothing to do with the things that happened in real life. I was upset, but also felt enlightened. All these people on social media putting on a facade that had nothing in common with their real life made me value my own life more. I didn't need to show anyone how great my day was or how cool of a car I have, because nobody cared anyway. I was simply happy with what I had and didn't feel the need to tell anyone about it. That's when social media no longer had relevance in my life.

      Well, I would somehow disagree with you. Internet is a double edge weapon. In which you can either use it for your benefit (Business, classes, courses, information, etc.). On the other hand, it is completely addictive and abusing to your physical, mental and financial financial health (Porn, news, pessimism, cat videos etc.).
      I would suggest to set a schedule for you on the internet like 30-60 minutes a bi-weekly. Invest this time to expand your knowledge and cope with the racing world.
      Good luck mate

    I’m tired of social media. I would like to delete all of my social media (today I’ve deleted Instagram);and enjoy more the real life. Take more advantage of my time!
    It’s frustrating because I delete my Instagram account and few hours later I open it again. And it’s a waste of time. Life was better when I was a child, enjoying in the streets playing football with my friends.
    Social media are for people who is narcissistic.

    What should I do ?
    I can't delete insta because it's where I get to know all about where my friends are, for example when some who are living abroad come into the country. It's just... deleting insta would be kind of isolating myself socially, because I have lived in different locations and my network is wide, and insta is the best to keep up with it. The downside is I'm wasting a lot of time trying to catch with everything.
    Maybe I should do so cleaning, essentially filtering by only keeping the people who matter to me, and unfollowing the others. That would a good way to have much much less storys and posts to check out!
    This probably sounds silly, I was writing this comment to ask a question and I already thought of the answer, I don't even know if I should post this comment

    how does social media become an addiction? are you for real

    • @betterideas
      @betterideas  7 років тому

      There are countless studies that have come out within the last few years on the reality of internet addiction (a quick Google Scholar search will land you a plethora of info-rich results). Since people tend to spend anywhere from 30-70% of their internet time on social media sites, it become quite easy to draw a line between addiction (or addictive like, impulsive behaviors) and social media itself. All statistics set aside, your millage may vary - it's a bigger problem for some people than others. Either way, thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching!
