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
Another thought. Have you ever watched someone on social media? Like I once had dinner with my family and saw them mindlessly scrolling (zombie apocalypse?) just a thought
I just made a post about this, this morning to let people know I’m not acting funny, but I had to get off social media to focus on things more important in life. This is a confirmation. Thanks for this video.
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.
Scrolling is the new smoking wow ! I like that , powerful! I took a break from social media for 5 months last year and it was great .. like a breathe of fresh air. I realize scrolling was holding me back from leveling up like I knew I could. Thank you for sharing this message! Great content ☺️
This is my issue. I literally get depressed sometimes. I've started minimizing my time on FB and also using it for inspiration and networking. No matter how much people say SM doesn't effect you it definitely does.
So true and real! We need to turn to Yahuah! He gives us peace, love, and joy! I left it all 2 years ago and that changed my life and brought me much closer to Yahuah! Social media addiction kills families... Relationships.... I feel it's one of the worse addictions out there.
Alright this is my third sign to take a social media break for the winter!! I’ll start tomorrow 😂 It’s just so hard a social media strategist not to be visible on social media but I even want to limit the time I spend for business purposes.
Ive been off of fb for 6months. Im going to make this permanently. It definitely does consume valuable time that can be utilized doing more constructive activities.
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.
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…🤔
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.
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!
this what I needed man love the video! I be scrollin right now it’s about 3 am and I start my new job this morning at 7 lmao whatever though but you’re gon pop off 2022 man I feel it love the vids again!🤞🏼❤️
I definitely take social media breaks! It's very distracting and I go some months just deleting the app on my phone, it's very addictive... putting too much TEA in everybody else lol thank you for sharing! Great content!
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.
For me I am trying to avoid social media one week without Facebook and WhatsApp..😭😭it is a struggle 😛the urge to be back right now ..hope to win it is wasting my time and clogging my mind with a lot negative stuffs I can relate with you
been off social media for 3 months and honestly im the most happiest I ever been in my life and I don't plan on going back! People need this video fr
👏🏾👏🏾
I haven't been on all month. I would be scrolling for HOURS!!! No lie.

Facts! They definitely should because it’s addicting
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
I see that with so many people where they get into that rabbit hole and then they get stuck there and can't deal with the real world.
been social media free for 2 years. actually over that. best decision ive ever made
Nope….This is a video that I watch…It’s all about being focused! Great words Corey
Another thought. Have you ever watched someone on social media? Like I once had dinner with my family and saw them mindlessly scrolling (zombie apocalypse?) just a thought

Big facts man!
Yessss! Agreed!
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.
Very sad smh
Preach! I totally agree. It’s insane. People turn up their noses if you have an actual conversation with them.
Scrolling is the new smoking wow ! I like that , powerful! I took a break from social media for 5 months last year and it was great .. like a breathe of fresh air. I realize scrolling was holding me back from leveling up like I knew I could. Thank you for sharing this message! Great content ☺️

Do it 💪🏾
@@coreymjones3 most definitely.
Ok this was obviously my sign to get up off social media. Whewwwwwwww! Business purposes only.
These are facts. I find myself scrolling when I should be doing other things. But it is soo hard.
Wasting time on social…..‼️‼️‼️ I am always up until 1:30/2 scrolling smh. Great video
You’re absolutely right!
Yesss! That rabbit hole will do it lol. Great video and reminder. "Scrolling is the new smoking."

I appreciate that! Congrats on the new job too 💯

That’s facts! And most social media companies aim to have people on the application for long durations of time
@@coreymjones3 right, which dulls the senses. You start to mess what's around you.
Thank you.
Absolutely true 🙌🏾
Yes look at that screen time
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.
I don't do a lot of strolling, because once I'm interested in what I'm watching I don't want to miss anything so I watch until the end 😂😂
Nosy!! 😂 That is so true 👍 and I am guilty. Quit FB a long time ago and Instagram a few months ago. Can honestly say I don't miss it.
Right on time big bruh 💯💪🏾🗣
I just came off social media because I found myself scrolling when I had important things to do, no lie I miss it BUT I’ve been able to do more
It opens up more time for sure
This is soooo me scrolling addict even dropping the ball at work:(
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.

❤️❤️❤️
Guilty as charged…….scrolling like I don’t have a job to wake up for in a few hours!!😂. Working on my nosiness!🤦♀️
You are so right.
Haven’t used Facebook nor Instagram for a year. It’s useless to me.
That’s powerful 💪🏾
@@coreymjones3 thank you, it can be addicting just like drugs or alcohol. I was too busy looking at other peoples lives to enjoy my own. Not good.
Great video man.
Lol...this is so true!!!
