    I haven't been on all month. I would be scrolling for HOURS!!! No lie. Page hoppin like crazy lol I mean, I'd be late for stuff or waiting til the last minute to do something all because I was scrolling 🤦🏾‍♀️🙄 I've enjoyed this month off. I'll get back before the year is out but everything you said is so true and my thoughts exactly. I'll follow you when I get back on lol MTV should have a "True Life - I'm a scroller" episode

    This is 100% on point.I logged out of Facebook in 2011 because of the negative post then Instagram turned into Facebook so I logged out of IG in 2019 and never looked back social media isn’t fun for me anymore I totally lost interest but my girlfriend is totally addicted and I can see the negative effects it has on her from body dysmorphia to feeling insecure to constantly being in a negative headspace or always feeling like she needs latest and greatest it makes me incredibly sad for her because I feel like she’s missing out on the real world

    Nothin but facts. I always say that if you think about it, we as children were always asked what do we want to be when we grow up. And we had all these dreams and aspirations. We never imagined or even knew what social media was, but look at everybody now, grown and settled in life consuming social media day in and day out and giving it more attention than anything for so many hours throughout the day letting all these good years just pass by.

    I had to stop "wasting time" on social media platforms like clubhouse, tiktok and Facebook. I realize that there's more to do offline than speaking to random people or scrolling thru various feeds. Great Video bro!! ❤️💯

    Instant gratification and convenience of these smart devices have dominated our time and minds to the point people think it's odd when you speak to them offline. Social media is a social crutch!! It's sad but here we are.

    Preach. One could argue whether or not your time is "better" spent on tv shows and movies but that's a whole other subject. It is a good first step. Limiting the amount of news I watch and the amount of scrolling I do makes a pretty big difference though.

  • @hennymonroe1967

    This video told the truth and hit me. Im a successful person but social media makes me feel like crap most of the time. I end up taking on a new task, getting myself in a business deal, or talking myself out of doing something that I wanted to do. I usually take a social media break from January to March, but thinking about taking one for at least 5 months starting in 2022.

    Great video my guy! That’s why I took a year off of social media this year…a whole year! Definitely proud of myself! 😁🙌🏽 No Facebook here, but Instagram…Twitter…SnapChat…were taking up SO much of my time! I challenge people to do it and it was not that difficult of me to get accustomed to break away from social media and I adjusted to it and find other hobbies to do such as reading…writing…sketching…learning…Not only that I’m a private person and I don’t post much and I’m contemplating on deleting them next year…🤔

  • @benjaminslife9424
    @benjaminslife9424 3 роки тому

    I have been avoiding most social media for years. I can't get into people's lives like that. Social media messed up my day far too many times. I'm on IG usually for a minute or less anytime I'm on there. If I'm around people I see them always scrolling. That pull is way too powerful.

  • @isaiahjaxon
    @isaiahjaxon 3 роки тому +1

    Just wait until you decide to delete social media. Haven’t had it other than YT for about 2 years. And even when I deleted it I was never on it anyway. I call it slot machines (scrolling) think about it. Don’t pay with money but pay with time, is it worth that investment? Just my thoughts.

    Great video Corey! I take regular breaks from Instagram and I’ve even gotten off all social media for an extended amount of time. I think for me I have to remember that UA-cam is social media too. Sometimes when I get off IG I spend more time on UA-cam and then it’s still the same cycle. You’re right. Limiting our time on social media does great things for your mental health!

    I unplugged fromj all that nonsense on social media and started investing in myself more; then difference is like night and day. Never cared about likes and all that other stuff. De-clutter your life and disconnect from social media for 30 days; you`ll probably start feeling better and less stressed...There`s that obscure quote: " Free your mind, your ass will follow"....Take that social media " YOKE " off.

    I was just talking to one of my cousins about this. I recently found out these social media companies hire folks with the title of ATTENTION ENGINEERS. I promise you I didn't even know such a person or position existed. The job of these folks is to find and implement all the strategies needed to keep folks addicted to social media smh. That is so wild to me. I know these jokers make a lot of money to do this too. Scrolling will mess your day up if it's not in moderation. Anyway, enjoyed the content as usual Corey!👍

    Lol no sir. You got all my attention right now. And I agree. I only spend so much time on social media as I can. Taking in all this information from different people can be overwhelming
    That’s so true. I get so much more stuff done when I’m not on Instagram and texting. I’m getting better with making phone calls more often then always texting. That takes more time tbh. And especially when I have something in particular to speak about with someone.

    Try story. A while back, there was a story about a married couple who had an incident with a child. The wife was arrested and the husband was not. I think she's still in jail. I went to about 15 different pages and read everything that they had posted about the story, the lady, the family, and everyone involved. I spent weeks reading and trying to piece everything together. Smh

    Lol...this is so true!!! I'm feeling attacked...lol Yet in a seriousness, I literally had to ensure that first, it must be something that interests me or is an investment / education/ financial literacy etc. I had to really adjust the algorithm to ensure that I wasn't consumed with toxic garbage! Working in a school district, we are constantly having to educate parents and children to restrict social media. Who knew THIS would be such a thing! You must ensure that what you consume has a positive impact! Thank you for the video.
