IM GIVING UP SOCIAL MEDIA (HOW WILL I SURVIVE WITH OUT TIKTOK?!?)
Вставка

- In this video I talk about why I've decided I need a social media detox. I'm totally addicted to my phone and honestly it's not great for my mental health. I'm hoping some time away will give me some peace of mind and some clarity in what next. If not, at least I'll get plenty of quality time in with Data.
I'm very happy to hear this - I hope it's a really good experience. In 2019 I went to a very rural place for a week - there was no cell service, no internet, no TV, basically no technology (I also did not have a car). My friends and I walked everywhere, I read books, wrote in my journal, took my sketchbook to the beach and just sat and drew, talked to strangers and the sheep in the field, did yoga. After about 3 days I realized that something was "different" - I had NO anxiety at all! It was amazing! I highly recommend it, even if it's just a weekend camping off the grid, do it, you won't regret it.
People don't seem to know or just don't care how damaging words can be. I can not understand why anyone just wants to be mean. You work hard to bring positivity to the world. God bless and keep you. I enjoy you very much.
People don't know or don't care how damaging someone this lifestyle is
People like being mean because it give them a sense of power , when they are most often powerless in their real life.
Words are just sounds if we don’t give them meaning. Words generally hurt us if there is some truth to what is said. Not always true, but mostly the case.
@@hannayoung9657 that’s true too
People like power and acceptance. And sometimes to be accept they step on others cause it’s easier or “cooler” to be mean and disrespectful.
Did I miss you Miss Anna? Yes. Was I sad that you decided to make it two weeks instead of one, yes. Did I love love your Vegas pics. YES.
I completely support your choice! I think social media is a blessing and a curse, I think you do you ❤️
You're an awesome person who has really inspired me to go for cute outfits that I thought I couldn't pull off. You're gorgeous just being you! And you have a great sense of style and sense of humor! I appreciate all of your content and understand your need for a break. I left FB for a good 6 months myself. You deserve a break. And for all the miserable people who try to bring you down I hope they reap what they have sewn!
I'll miss you greatly, but take care of you girl. I hope all is well and all goes well and if &/or whenever you decide to return, I'll be here looking out for you. :)
Anna, I think you taking a well deserved break is a fantastic idea. I understand the need to shut your mind down, regroup and recharge your batteries. Enjoy yourself, enjoy your time with you and nature and come back refreshed and happy.
I'm sorry about people being so cruel, I hope that you get all that you need from this break.
Gonna miss watching you. I'M 43 years old and somedays you make my day. I have a stressful job and people can be mean. You are so full of life and so fun to watch. May God bless you and keep you. Love Kentucky girl
43! Best age ever🥰🥰🥰
All these people in the comments, don't you realize her break from social media already happened? She's technically back on already LOL This was posted after she's been back from one week away. So many people commenting on the title of the video without actually watching it.
When you are on UA-cam you know the comments are not always positieve. 😂
I think it's a little interesting that instead of really addressing the issue of having a social media addiction, which it sounds like you have from your words and that you use social media for emotional support, but also partly because you put your entire life online, filming anything and everything, then turned it around to being about other people and the negative attention you get from putting yourself and your entire body online (in extremely revealing clothing or almost none at all), when everyone online, unfortunately gets negative commentary but if you're putting yourself out there practically naked and filming everything to post, um yeah trolls will definitely find you.....it really seems like you need the validation you get from having an online presence, especially considering you have a strict moderator who deletes any and all negative commentary, it can be an ego boost, but it's not reality no one goes through life without negative people or comments and only seeing one side can be difficult..... I respect your decision and wish you well, but I would have respected you more had you not placed the blame elsewhere and just owned up to the fact that you may have put to much out there, you're going through a difficult time with your weight and you have FOMO, which is why you need a break, just my opinion 🤷🏼♀️ Take care, enjoy your trip 👍🏼
Awe 😔 I’m going to miss you! Please don’t stay away for too long! I love & respect you Anna! You’re a great role model. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for being you. We'll be here for you. You are a Ray of Funshine in my day. You keep me stepping. PS. I HIT 5,000 steps thank you for helping me believe in me
Did you ever think about having someone monitor and censor your comments for you? You could make it where they don’t reach you and make it known. People would be wasting their time if they are trying to contact you, just to harass you.
I too think this is a good idea!
Me again. It send too fast. I encourage you to actually write and keep a journal. Our brain and thus heart ,soul, spirit and body process differently when we actually write on paper. You will have lots of time so write. Atart with 5 minutes a day. Dont worry about soellibg or grammar just write. Maybe don't even reread it. Just write. I'm 67. Trust me in this. I've done a similiar undertaking on my life journey You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. JUST BREATHE when you feel stuck. Drawing and dancing help too and sleeo when it comes. Blessings on your journey dear Anna. May all the blessings of the light accompany you.
I've never seen a reaction to any of our comments here from her part...a ♥️ does all the difference....so wants to be watched,but not react to folks here,seams to me an egocentric reality.
I love watching you and you're awesome! Please, please, never let people know that you are leaving anywhere, unless you post it weeks later! That's exactly what WRONG WITH SOCIAL MEDIA!
You are one of my favourite person on social media. Don't listen to people, be you. It's not what others did that made people love you. It's what you did so keep doing what you do🥰
Omg you are AH-MAZING!!! You always put a smile on my face when I see your videos. I love you and I just want to remind you that there are so many people who are just…people. Non-judgemental, non-a-hole, pro-having fun and being yourself kind of peeps and I’m one of them! I have Lupus and I am stuck in bed a lot of the time. You literally brighten so many of my days….my gosh if you only knew haha. Stay strong and fabulous my love and I hope you had the best vacay ever!! 💕💕💕
I am so sorry that you have to deal with this! You are such a beautiful, ray of sunshine! You don't deserve any of this.
Good luck to you Anna! I hope you can relax and enjoy this time for yourself! We'll see you when you get back, but just remember not to rush back! ❣️🌺🥰
I'm 64, a widow and I don't use social media at all. I only got Facebook to keep in touch with hubby's relatives. People I know at work who are much younger that base ther whole self esteem on their "likes."
Isn't social media your full time job? Ex:Tick Tock, etc.
What will you do for income?
You will be missed. Go take care of yourself. We'll be here if you decide to come back. Blessings
Turn your comments off, that's a start. Your gorgeous!!! Turn the comments OFF!!!!!! x
Proud of you for putting yourself first. I feel like so often we push ourselves to the breaking point day after day and it’s hard to stop the cycle until we do something radical. Enjoy! Soak it in and recharge.
Enjoy your detox 👌
We need to put ourselves first and we forget that. Your vids are super inspirational and I think I need to do the social media detox as well. Our lives will change for the better. Enjoy your holiday 💯👌❤
Have an amazing vacation! You have been working 365 days a year for 3-4 years. Time for a break. Trolls are nasty. Is there a way to block them? BTW, your positive attitude is great. You inspire us all to be more positive in life and your videos make me smile with your clothes try-ons. I'm going to syart getting more bold selections because of your videos. Don't feel any guilt about taking some time for yourself, you deserve it!!!
I really appreciate this video!!!!!! I feel this way about online dating, as much as I want to meet someone I don't feel all the hate and online bullying is worth it. I get that the online world is part of your job but I think its completely ok to focus more on your actual life that doesn't revolve around the internet. Good on you!
Omg!! Love the jacket. That is adorable! I hope you don't ever stop UA-cam. I love watching you, your fun and energetic and love watching your videos. I would say let the haters fuel your beautiful self and let them make you a better person. As of your body Girl , your confidence is amazing and I love it. Keep being and doing you!! Sending you a hug and love from Texas.
Oh... How many times have many of us said this... The struggle is real. TFS 🤗
We love you Anna!
I recently discovered you on social media. Your reels bring me such joy. They are so happy and energetic. Thank you for sharing yourself. Take care of yourself. I look forward to your return when or if it is good for you. Sending peace and love.
I used to be part of the wrestling fan community on Twitter but it got so toxic I dropped out. I miss talking to other wrestling fans but there were so many fools who took it personally if you didn't think like they did.
Anna, despite the humour and giggles, I can SEE how tired you are. You seem drained, no energy and I sense a sadness behind your eyes. It’s not just this video, but all of your recent videos. I hope you get the help you need so you can be the happy & carefree person you portray online.
Go out and live your life , Before cell phones and social media My generation went out and live life and we're still living life.
I literally started watching you because of your hips, butt, and thighs. I love them! You were the first person that I saw doing fashion hauls who had such a similar body type as mine. Plus, seeing my shape on you helped me to see that, man, if she looks that fine, maybe I do too. Enjoy your detox, hopefully it’s helpful to you, and gives you the results that you’re looking for.
💞 well i for one absolutely am glad i found you on youtube and love to watch your content especially your try on or style videos or when you take trips. im sorry there are A-holes out there that would find it ok to be jerks to you but thats because THEY have issues and it makes these pos feel better. you are amazing girl i hope you dont leave entirely ever, but understand breaks. just know your are WONDERFUL and so beautiful 💜💕
I hope you read the good comments, too! There's so many. You're beautiful inside and out, and funny. Thank you for finding courage to keep posting despite the trolls. 💙
I will miss you Anna! Please have a safe trip,have some fun and come home relaxed and refreshed! You are an awesome young lady!
You are an amazing inspiration and so uplifting. Anything you do for you is great
Let the haters hate jealousy Is a nasty thing to suffer. I love the confidence you throw out. Please don’t let someone’s nasty comments get you down. People don’t realise that words can damage people. Keep smiling ❤️
You got this Scorpio ♏️ queen!💜
Good for you! You do need to have some "me time" to regroup every now and again! I pray that you have an amazing time learning to relax without social media! Stay safe and we will wait with excited anticipation to hear all about you and Data! 💖
Sorry about the creeps! Have to say I love the jacket you have on!
OK...Anna , l know you will survive all testing in life and success comes , by constant asking to "GOD" for help... I pray for your safety...So we pray always to the Creator of earth and heaven...be happy always , Anna.
I feel you queen, and understand exactly what you’re saying! You do you and what’s best for you!
You are my Hero! I am hoping you return refreshed and full of your own greatness! You deserve you!
So glad you're taking some well-deserved time away to rest and recharge and just breathe. Look forward to hearing all about it when you return.
I could not agree with you more. It's sad that people can't be more adult in their behavior. Nobody forces anyone to view your content. Keyboard bullies. However, checking back into your life isn't bad. Social media isn't fun anymore most of time. I enjoy your content. I support whatever you do. Stay well....xoxo xoxo. I bought that pant suit too❤❤❤
Unfortunately I am sitting here relating to you. I have been bullied for the last 6months when I have never had that happen to me before. I applaud you for taking this step- take a couple of “junk books” ( ones that you don’t have to concentrate on to read). Relax and look at your surroundings with the eyes of a young child- best way to get a new perspective. I so hope you have a great time. Just remember words are only 8% of the way we communicate- which is why social media can be so hurtful. Take care you are a bright light to a lot of people.
The heartless ones who post are void of any kind emotion. You are worthy and beautiful
Blessings to you while on your vacation. I am in the generation that didn’t have the technology to use when I was young, and I consider those times as golden. Be sure to meditate about nature, earth beauty, peace, silence, the gift of our senses.
I just recently found your channel and I'm sorry to see you go. I'm a plus size gal and I love your confidence and upbeat personality. Have a nice break. Good luck and God Bless you.
Will Miss you !! Beautiful out fit, nails and Backdrop. ♥️Happy Valentines Day Early♥️
Take all the time you need....we will be here when you get back!
PS- where did you get that jacket because its giving me life and I need one!!!
You’ve changed lives,. You’ve given hope and laughter and acceptance where there was none. You have opened hearts and minds and I don’t just mean with thickems. You were able to reach such a wide and diverse audience for that I thank you and I’m so proud of you. Your character and hard work have opened doors that have always been closed. Being on social media, as you are, can become an abusive relationship. Have your moment-you deserve it. Remember you’re not responsible for changing the world on your own. Remember people who are ugly and hurtful are projecting their unhappiness-misery lives company. We should feel empathy for these people and pray for them. Don’t spend another moment of your life worried about those hurtful words. As a thickem we literally carry our emotional baggage where the entire world can see and judge it-and they’ll never miss a chance to do just that. Let them-thats not for you. You have much more integrity and strength than that you just need to realize it. Love you, take care of yourself, and have a great time. “Treat Yo Self!!”
ENJOY TIME WITH ANNA!!!!!! Learn to love quiet time with yourself ❤️
You can do it! Remember that those mean comments do not define who you are. The only people that attack you are those unhappy with themselves. So excited for you. 😃
You are beautiful. I just started watching you. You are so fun full of life so inspirational. I'm happy you did what's best for you. Be blessed and know your worth.
WAIT WHAT NOO I LOVE YOUR TIKTOKS please don’t leave 😭
Edit: I understand if you need a break from social media we all do. I just love your videos so much they give me confidence💜 Focus on yourself first though that’s top priority I hope you have a really good vacation 😉
I’ve been taking a break from Facebook. It’s been a little over a month and I have to say, I don’t miss it one bit. I’m sure I’ll go back to it, but not right now. 😘
I wish you a wonderful break with a lot of mental rest and also a lot of happiness! I think in todays world we should all do this every now and then, we need to just be... Can't wait to have you back again but for now, enjoy life! 💕
Pls don't give up simply because some people can't get over the fact that u are more special and beautiful than they are. U inspire me and a lot of people out there. It would be a great loss if u stop now
Hey Anna I remember way back you use to say peace at the end of your vlog and You did a lot of stuff too My 18 old daughter died in 2015 so I've been off enjoying your vlogs a while I'm back on seen you on Instagram so thought I would look you up again. Oh I'm on my phone now was on my computer back then. So happy to see you you look Great happy for you too enjoy your vacation 💘💘💘💘💘
i’m soo sorry for ur loss .
I will miss you! You put a smile on my face everytime I see a video. I wish you well!
I just found you 3 days ago and love what your doing. But you do you boo. Take care of yourself. Come back better than ever! ❤️
Same here.
I'm so sad she left, but I understand her. I plan to end my social media too... but not the internet.
Aww queen well miss you! 🥺❤️✨👑!! I love you!!!!
Don't quit.. Your loved and there's no judgement here.. I've struggled all my life with weight. Is a matter of fact my own father bullied me over my weight.. What he didn't realize is that I'm a confident person and don't need anyone's approval.
You are beautiful and don't ever forget🙏❤
Omg! I LOVE that sweater! I'm sure it was in a video, but I were did you get it!
Pretty sure it's Torrid but I'm not 100%
Some people just love to be horrible !! But, while they are tearing another person apart verbally, if you were able to see them you would be stunned.
I only have UA-cam and Pinterest and it’s been that way for over 6 years now. Half the time I forget my phone when I leave the house. Everyone has to make choices that are best for them and not being a slave to my phone is what’s best for me. ♥️
I imagine without feeding on attention you'll find something to eat. Fear not.
*I'm Going To Miss You 😭 I've Enjoyed 💕💕 Your Videos, And Style.. Do You Boo!! Only, The Best.. On Your Journey, Blessings 🙏 Upon Blessings! Thank You, For All The Joy* 🌻😘🤟🏾
Have fun . Take advantage of all the opportunities you get to explore and experience. You just never know what you will discover.
You do what you need for self care, but don’t let nothing get you down or stop you from doing what brings you joy. Much love and respect to ya 👍🏾💖🙏🏾🥰
You knew this when you decided to have a UA-cam channel your putting yourself out there.
Do you and do what’s best for you. I’ve never developed the obsession but I know how it’s affected others. You’ll find that you pick up the phone and actually speak to friends and family more and really communicate with them and you’ll enjoy it! Good luck and I hope withdrawal isn’t bad for you!🥰. I could see you in an artists retreat, creating and getting in touch with color and interpretation of what you see in your mind. You are so creative and in tune with color and such. Next trip, you might consider something like that.
🍷Hello, I hope you have an amazing, me time and come back renewed.🥂 Enjoy the time and place. HUGS 💥🤸💥🤸♀️💥🤸💥🤸♀️💥
Go, enjoy and rest. Know you will be missed. We'll all be here waiting for you. You are loved.
You go girl! If you don't look after yourself who is going to. It's hard to be bombarded with so much unrest and negativity. I'm taking a break from FB but I'm also learning how to "change the algorithm" and filter what I see to help my mental state. I really hope this experience is a positive one for you
I just found you and you're awesome. Detoxing is necessary!!!
REMEMBER you are strong and so kind! People are going to say mean things and you can’t control it but you can control letting it hurt your feelings, Everybody can take breaks from posting if you ever feel as if you HAVE to post non-stop because you don’t, if you don’t ever take breaks it’s going to get harder to post consistently,
Words are only worth the person saying them and an opinion don't matter if you don't like or respect them so let them talk it takes the spotlight off there problems or flaws so you give ppl inspiration and everyone else can kiss our ace love you Pamela 💓🙏
You are super funny, Anna! Good video, something we can all try to do.
Kudos to a place that does NOT require masks or vaxx 👏. I do however think a neg test should be required for staff and guests. Aside from that I will miss your videos on here I love your positivity. Have a great time healing and finding yourself. You deserve this.
People judge what they don't understand but I will say this your a gorgeous person your soul and spirits are very contagious 💗 I get depressed at times and your videos bring me joy ....good things are never accepted in this world anymore....
Anna, I adore you and your channel. I am so sorry that awful people are being cruel, heartless and childish. I hope they wake up to themselves and realise this is not the type of person they want to be. Wishing you the best for your break. Thinking of you.
A cheap but amazing getaway I absolutely love is the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. It has everything you need for a zen experience AND on one side you have Pigeon Forge, TN (Dollywood) and the Gatlinburg strip and on the other side you have Cherokee, NC (Harrah's Casino). Gatlinburg is my happy place. I hope you find what you're looking for.
Well I have to say that I was worried about you because I hadn't seen any of your videos popping up on my phone for a few days.
I came to find out and found this update.
I am very happy to know you are taking time for yourself.
I hope you had an amazing time off.
If you are coming back on, I hope you will incorporate time off each week or something like that.
As for the haters and bullies, I am sorry you have to deal with them.
I am plus size also and have grown up with that crap, but not to your level since I'm not "out there."
I must say though that I do go through your comments and enjoy challenging those haters!
I don't know if it's a good thing, but I find it rewarding! Lol
Take care of you and all the best.
Carol
Good for you. I'm jealous because I know there is no way I could do it. You hit the nail on the head for me when you said social media gives you that sense of community or belonging. That is what it is for me and why I am online way more than I should be. Good luck! I am inspired. Hopefully hearing about your experience will be the motivation I need to try it myself.
That is the cutest little hoodie 😍
We will miss you!! Please have fun, and take care of yourself ❤️
Happy valentine Anna , youre a smart , i like your books very much , youre the best , dont forget that👍
Please don't stop.....I so look forward to seeing you. You put a smile 😃 on my face!!
Girl I break my phone at least once a year. Never in a hurry to get it fixed. Love and need that break. Take care of yourself.
Anna you are the only you tuber i watch constantly. I love your vibe you are so real so raw with us i appreciate everything your style and your just a wonderful human all around ill miss you dearly during your break and shame on mean people they suck . Love ya my daughter is 15 and in 46 we watch you together to you kinda helped strengthen our bond . You actually go through a lot of things we go through too and have sparked many of conversations some silly some serious. We just love ya you have become part of our household btw we are both plus im a 24 and she is an 18 . Positive vibes sent from Colorado Springs Co and the Campbells.
I'm dismayed at how hard it is for a person to separate themselves from social media. This is hard for real! And so exciting! All the best!
I thought you gave up social media but you keep posting more videos so I’m confused. 😐😐😐😕😕😕
I love watching you it helps me with my confidence with being a big girl. In fact even on shorts I've seen I've asked where you've got certain clothes from like the sunflower dress you turned in to a top
