    Once I deleted my socials I noticed that about 90% of my negative daily thoughts and anxiety just vanished,it was nothing but hell to me

    The best line in this whole video: "Social media actually makes you anti-social".
    Very true and relatable.

    Spot on! I quit social media 2 months ago… my productivity sky rocketed. I became obsessed with cleanliness, started ready and studying the Bible again, enrolled in school, changed careers, started exercising…it was like taking a productivity drug.

    I haven't had social media accounts in almost a year and it's been the best year I've had since before I joined them. Reminds me of the 90's.

    you don't realize how toxic social media is and how dysfunctional your way of thinking becomes until you've eliminated them. The problem with this is bigger than ourselves. The problem is that there are literally billions of people in the world just like this. I seriously think that social media is going to bring about an involution in human culture and many other aspects.

    Quit social media for a year now (exept for youtube and pinterest) and I really enjoy it. I noticed I’m more present in my own life and more connected to my inner self. Yes, I feel like nowadays it’s difficult for a 19 yo to connect with new people without having a insta profile, but it sometimes feels good to be able to see people as their true real life self instead of seeing them from the perspective of their insta posts.
    Since I quit I did not start waking up at 5 am, going to the gym, reading etc…but I definitely feel more at peace and less anxious/overstimulated. Definitely recommended. This is just to show that if you quit something you don’t necessarily need to build all these habits, if you do good for you, but you can continue living like you always did, but with a clearer and calmer mind, and more time to spend alone with your thoughts and emotions. And that’s awesome !

    Bro no joke, I deleted socials a while ago and I'm already at book 5 of 2024, have studied everyday (except for sunday, cause let's be real a pause day is important) and went to the gym every friday (can't do leg day currently cause I have runners leg and can't do my run, cause it actually hurts). I even started to learn a new instrument.
    And last year I did a presentation about social media algorithms (I just wanted to slander tiktok) and the thing is, socials only goal is to keep you on the app. The whole algorithm of each app is made to get you addicted to it. Honestly social media is evil, very blunt said.
    So deleting it and instead concentrating on something else is definitely the way to go.

    Must admit social media is so negative to be on. So much drama and petty stuff goes on in there. Its why i took meself off social media as i am getting rid of as much negative in Life as possible . As being around positive people and activities in life is so much more rewarding.

    I quit social media from 6 years ago ,I have only youtube for selective videos to watch .Productivity calmness are so high ,no-one believes that iam doing so well,without stress,too much time,I even changed direction to my job and studies ,I am a new person, I care only for my evolution as person, I even started to learn Mathematics because it was always my black spot .I am like a bomb ,my colleagues tell me what are you drinking ?haha I feel blessed .Too many useless informations we cannot absorb as human beings, we are not robots .True people ,essential connections and concentration to real life the real game .

    It is not social media itself that is bad, it is our over reliance on it that has made it bad. Too much negative crap has been permitted on social media sites which has led to growing mental health issues. While it is great to communicate with people from all the country and other countries, it is equally important to stay in touch with our own local communities and neighborhoods. Everything in moderation that is the key.

    Isso é tão verdade! Faz um tempo que percebi que sempre que deixo de estar em redes sociais para fazer coisas variadas como ler, desenhar ou estar ao ar livre, me sinto satisfeita comigo mesma no final do dia. Redes sociais afetam diretamente nossa autoestima, saúde mental e relacionamentos. Minutos se tornam horas, depois dias e quando vemos, gastamos a nossa vida em algo fútil. Ótimo vídeo!

    The rooster in the back was the highlight, and the cat was iconic😂 I went about almost a year with no social media (instagram still going strong just permanently deleting it) I did go on snap for a few months for the summer but I'm getting rid of it again permanently. Anyways half way through the video and i love how blunt you are! I have been seeing alot of these vidoes in my newsfeed and i felt like it is a sign from Jesus to be off 😂 keep it up!

    Im 19 years old and ive quited social media Snapchat, Tiktok and Instagram. I go to the gym and everything but i find it causes depression, takes away ur ability to be social, social media to me is like being on VR the VR life isnt real samething with being on social media if that makes sense. Ive been doing this for a day and i feel amazing all the things i had anxiety about and the things i worried about faded away because social media is the reason why i had those thoughts looking back after deleting my social media account it wasn’t a big deal and just worrying about stupid things
