There's a way to use. Just like food. Health food the right amount is good for u it helps u vs pleasurable food that destroys ur insulin n loaded with sugar turns u into an addict. Don't blame the spoon for gluttony. Stop blaming social media, the social media is a tool. It's your fault if you're addicted to social media or "hurt" by it
More like soft UNITS of consumption. You are not seen as a human, a person. Only a warm unit to sell to or get "likes" from. I'm so glad that my time here is drawing nigh and I won't be here for the repercussions of this false bullshit.
Ur point about the “imaginary audience” is what I’m experiencing rn. I’m taking a break from the socials and I keep thinking what my friends are thinking about my lack of posts, stories etc. Its like I’m still performing for them in my head and I hate it
I stopped social media a few months ago and I can personally say I am a lot more happy than I was before, social media is just people trying to get attention and once you realize that it makes you not like it anymore.
Went on a social media detox from 2021 to June 2023. It really taught me about myself and the attachment issues that I had with various social media platforms. I realised that for a large portion of my life I was living and ‘performing’ for others, for people that I didn’t necessarily know or even care about. I realised that I wasn’t the main character and I didn’t have to force myself to bee seen or validated by nobody,because I’m like a single spec of dust in the atmosphere.
I started doing an IG project after taking psychedelics to learn how to express myself without restraints. I don't care what they think and I avoid the feed, that thing will eat you alive
3 yrs ago I deleted all my social media, my mental health is so much better, my stress levels have dropped n im generally more happy n at peace, I only have UA-cam to help me on my spiritual journey.
On a Social Media Detox for over a year now since late 2021. Deleted FB, Snapchat, Twitter & IG accounts. Used to constantly feel anxiety & experience FOMO. After leaving social media I felt a sense of quiet peace which I haven’t felt in years. I could be more productive & focused. Managed to cut bad habits easier & built meaningful connections. My relationship with my loved ones improved significantly. My thoughts become more articulate & less scattered. Highly recommend. 🙏🏻
This is exactly why I minimize how much I use social media. I notice people acting how you described in this video and I’m not like them or as affected as them. I’ve noticed it put distance between some “friendships” in my life.
I agree with most of this but I’m not gonna stop using 2x speed on videos where the person on camera keeps going: “ Ummm……yeah….ummmmm) every 12 seconds. You don’t do that but many UA-camrs do and you can save yourself a few minutes by increasing the speed.
I thought this video would be like all the other videos about why social media is bad for you but the way you scripted this, just phenomenal. You went real deep, I definitely felt attacked lol. I hope you get more reach you're awesome!
I don't use social media at all. Never been on Twitter or any of that stuff. As a spectator it just looks like a worldwide emotional control experiment. My mind is my own.
I think a few years ago and especially during the lock downs, social media seemed important; but now it's not that important. I'm back to living real life.
I keep hearing about social media impacting depression, anxiety, etc in teens and 20 somethings, in particular, and it makes a lot of sense. I'm 46 and my first 'social media' experience was AOL when I was 15 years old. It was so limited and slow, it was mostly for chatting and meeting new people it used to take a long time to send one picture. (Sometimes 15 or 20 min!) No one knew other people's opinions or personal business about life, interests, hobbies, politics relationships and family unless you told someone in person, saw them out in public places or heard something about them through gossip. People's lives were generally as private as they wanted them to be. To socially interact you had to talk to people on a non-mobile phone, through online chat rooms but mostly people socialized in publics places. Shopping malls were a HUGE part of social life. Recreation centers, schools, social clubs, churches, going out to eat, etc was where people socialized. People were out in the physical world interacting in person. People occasionally wondered what other people thought about certain things but you mostly didn't know other people's private business. The media was just TV, newspapers, publishing industry. People could still get sucked into that but it was MUCH more limited. There wasn't all the visual and audio overload of the internet today. The pace of life was much slower. I think it's easier for late 30 somethings and older to unplug from the Internet because we knew what life was life before social media existed. It still blows my mind a graduated college before I got my first cell phone and smart phones didn't exist. I miss the relative simplicity of life back in the day. I have a lot of empathy for younger people who are forming their sense of self which is being HUGELY influenced by social media...and that's the only world they have ever known. UA-cam is where I spend most of my time because I can consciously select what I give my attention to.
im 3 minutes into the video but i just want to say as a reminder for people its possible to overcome your programming! It is possible to get better from your traumas and ego. I fully believed my trauma defined me as a person and that i'll never change. It gets better and it gets easier. Especially with letting go of ur ego. I was a person who was extremely fearful and anxious over everything. I couldn't enjoy life. I fully believed i was autistic because it got to the point id actually have meltdowns in public because i couldn't deal with it. Maybe i am autistic who knows but i'm not going to dwell on it and let it define me and embrace it in a sense. Anxiety to me doesn't feel real. Looking back now it feels so silly. Also let yourself be human. Its okay to feel sad or anxious sometimes but use that as motivation to pick yourself back up.
Experience has taught me that overcoming programming begins when you stop telling yourself you are awake at any other moment than when you actually are awake. If you really really want to improve and step into the world of the Reenlightenment doing things like making creepy paintings is important. The creepier and darker paintings made by rational people become the more rational they and their viewers become. The viewers tell them that there are irrational things going on in these paintings which need discussion, and this helps you to have better and more demanding ideas. Creepy music and music and films which make you think also works wonders.
I got wrapped up in the personal identity behind it and it fucks with your head. They dont have a cure anyways so wtf do u need to know for. Its like i didnt feel different till somebody told me i was. Just thought i was shy. Like since when is being shy bad.
I’m glad the algorithm brought me to your feed. Very thought provoking. You’re not pushing viewership or likes. Your message hits home with me at this point in my life. You have a new follower. Thank you.
Social media is basically as I like to refer "panodora's box" it's a drug that is needed more and more my boyfriend is at that point where he is so addicted that he doesn't sleep can't hold a job down misses appointment even forgets to eat
I deleted all social media when I was 15 (9 years ago) and never looked back. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my mental health honestly. Also I was wasting way too much time on there just mindlessly scrolling. Don’t let anyone try to lure you back in 😂 It’s one of the biggest traps of today’s society and just making the youth miserable. I’m proud of you for doing a 6 month detox! Good job 😁 You can indeed do it again, see it as a challenge. Maybe this time you can try for longer. And the longer you spent off of social media the more you will realize being on there doesn’t actually do anything positive for your well being. Instead you can try out new hobbies, read books, explore nature, spend time with family or learn skills, essentially replace it with things and activities that will have a positive impact on your life. I wish you the best of luck, you can do it! 💪🏻
I had to chuckle about that "are you watching this video consciously" part. I have ADHD and I ironically listen to video essays like this to actually be productive without distractions. Drowns out the thought salad pretty nicely.
I been off socials for some months now. I used to never use socials since I was a lame and I wish I never got into it back during the MySpace hay day. That started it all for me.
I feel A LOT better since I deleted Facebook, and instagram. The only reason I would keep running back, is because I would think I’m missing something, just to realize I’m not missing a thing! And the stuff on IG, and Facebook ALWAYS gives me the reminder why I got off in the first place.
Awesome video, your echo chamber comment is spot on. "Subconsciously, social media is a deep habit that serves some sort of purpose in your life ... that superficially helps you" I believe this deeper urge is simply our desire to be seen. The human mind is not designed to handle the stress of not being seen. We feel less real if others do not see us, do not acknowledge our existence. This has an evolutionary purpose which is the task of the 21st century human to 're-write'. What we strive for, then, is to come into contact with 'reality'. Paradoxically, the less I am observed by others, the more 'real' I perceive myself to be. That is, by not participating in echo chambers, my shadow discloses itself to me, a monster that lingers behind my conscious perception of the visible, material reality. It is by integrating the shadow that I become the shadow, then the monster, only to return to my final resting place, that of the child. Who I 'really' am is that part of myself that I discover through introspection, not that part of myself that is discovered by external observers who project their shadow onto me, in hopes of my reciprocal 'echoing' back to them in an attempt to verify their reality. Social isolation seems to hold the answers. The question is, how does one prepare them self to face the wilderness? This comment of course presupposes that one is faced with psychological trauma when they withdraw from social media, which need not be the case for everyone. It also implies that the next logical step after withdrawing from social media is to withdraw from the world completely, which is only true if one is interested in pursuing deeper integration of their psyche and perhaps developing a spiritual component to their conscious awareness. To withdraw from all family, friends, relationships, jobs, etc. to venture deeper into one's unconscious mind, is both a difficult and time consuming pursuit, and thus should be navigated and explained carefully. To kill oneself, metaphorically speaking, is to kill one's urge to be seen; to disappear into the wilderness of their mind only to return to 'the world' of echoes and shadows with a beacon of light in one hand, a mask in the other.
@@Karaca86What a great question :) My name is David. I am God first, a human being second, a man third, a son, a citizen (of Earth, which resides in a ‘milky’ part of the galaxy), a brother, an uncle, a friend. That part of me I discover through introspection is that part which I perceive to be beyond individual human consciousness. It is that part of my being which is not ‘mine’ but ‘ours,’ not here nor there but everywhere, perhaps everything, all at once. It is that part of you which is me, and me which is you, which is us, which has always existed, and always will. Some call it God. God, to me, is the universe (woah, so deep, I know, I know). I am self aware and I enjoy being self aware. I exist within the universe. Since I am self aware and exist within the universe, it follows that the universe is self aware, even if only to the degree that I am self aware. The human being, then, is justified in its existence solely on the basis that the universe enjoys being self aware, which is a true statement because I enjoy being self aware. If the universe did not enjoy being self aware, evolution would not have made human beings self aware. Therefore, I choose not to kill myself (physically) because my life has a profound meaning which is rooted in a secular worldview: it feels good to be me. It feels good to lay here in bed, writing out this response; to feel the warmth of my duvet cover wrapped around me; to feel the cool breeze of my fan bouncing off my skin. Perhaps after writing this response I’ll lay here feeling the sensation of the air current flowing through my hair, and forget all about myself, letting go of all the roles and expectations my ego so desperately clings to, and just enjoying this present moment. Or perhaps I’ll watch another drone strike video, because that also feels good, and no God can tell me otherwise. You ask me who I am, but deep down, you already know me so well, as I do you :)
I used to get up and scroll on tiktok but now I don’t and I find myself being more productive then ever. Thanks man no one ever talks about the subconscious mind with social media. :)
This year I particularly feel the toll to "be considered someone" online. After facing real life necessities (working), a coaching session and a bit of tiredness, I'm on a point where I no longer have a reason to post or write. This said, my side profession is quite creative and needs exposure, especially On Ig. But I give priority to rest and reconnect to what I like best.
Love this! Whenever I start realising that the thoughts I'm having are no longer my own, I take a social media detox. Because I feel like we don't really realise just how much influence social media has on the thoughts we have daily.
I haven't had social media since 2012, deleted my facebook and never went back to any form of social media. I never cared to live according to beat of this worlds drum. I'm 29 and made this decision at 18, i value my peace and even vet the things or people i give my energy to. I know no one cares how i conduct my life, and i dont care how anyone conducts theirs. Social media contributes nothing positive to your life, and i'm confident in that truth.
*_"We are no longer familiar with ourselves but we are familiar with others...a monkey can see what the other person does but does it do what it sees?"_*
Ppl call it subconscious but try to see it as, all your memories and everything u know. Your brain holds it while operating in real time. When you are about to get hit with a ball, it grabs your memory in milliseconds and it tells you ohh that’s something you have to dodge.
You know it's gotten bad when you have to escape your mental escape. 💀 No really, I haven't logged into my socials for over ten months for this same reason. When I get overwhelmed I need adventure time to be on in order to decompress, but I've needed it constantly since then. I keep thinking of something Jake said along the lines of, " never be the guy with no phone, you'd think it'd make you more interesting, but people just forget to invite you to things" Being online for me is like jumping over a puddle and expecting the impact of hard ground, but where my feet land is quick sand. Now think of that but infinite puddles with a 50% chance of each one jumped, you either get stuck in a spiral for weeks to months, or experience something positive, (funny, educative, non impactful). Everyday I think about the friends I didn't tell, the messages I haven't read, and how even with family I've been put on an isolated back burner out of self preservation. My sister lives down the street from my house, and still we rarely interact outside of errands. When I tell her I miss her or suggest hanging out, the air feels thick with the expectation of "when are you going to check Instagram? I sent you memes". It's not like I haven't told her why I don't, but it doesn't change the fact my account is just sitting there reminding people I care about, that I'm not. I'm scared of being hurdled back into my echo chamber, and I'm afraid to see the rubble of bridges I never intended to burn. with that in mind, I'm not sure it's even helping my psyche breaking my chronically online streak, being I've found other things to over consume, and how I'm plagued daily by the guilt of something that should be considered healthy. It's like you either lose those who support you, or you lose yourself to support those relationships
"The imaginary audience, inside our head" I have been looking for these words for years! I have tried to explain this in so many ways and here it it! Thank you for articulating my thoughts!
Amazing video! I’m in the process of trying to break my social media addiction. Since I made being an influencer my full time career, it’s much more challenging to detach from it. But because this is my career and I spend so much time on it, I get to see how extremely negative and destructive social media can be on a very deep level. And it has gotten so much worse over the years
I legit deleted social media! Except snapchat to talk with ppl I only feel comfortable around AND HECK I started going to the gym, reading , feeling in control Social media is a devil work ong
God I'm happy i never fell into SM addiction. I was always a lurker. If i posted something, it was out of spite and i stopped even wanting to do that anymore. So i don't use it period at this point. I actually really dislike it. Seeing posts pretty much only gives me negative feelings, either "i don't care" or "why tf would you post this" is 95% of how i feel scrolling
It’s crazy how I was just thinking about how social media dictate how mind and feelings/thoughts and soon as I scroll down UA-cam this pop up lol it was meant for me to watch this lol
Damn bro, you literally said everything about social media that I think about in my head but never knew how to explain it in words. Appreciate you so much.
I proudly announce that I have been living social media freely for over 6 years. 😎 (UA-cam not included) I was so stressed out and on top of it I have to handle my ADHD. It worked. 👍🏻
your literally a genius. you broke down a lot of the thoughts and emotions i have. i've been getting more and more self aware over the past year and so much of what you said resonates with the ideas i've been journaling about
Incredibly important to talk about stuff like this it is not enough for everyone to just know social media is bad for you it is excellent for us to have discussions about mental health and social media to really get your brain wrapped around it
I took a break from social media for more than a year. And i joined again thinking maybe I won't get addicted.. and my thinking might change.. no, I was back to square one.. I realised it's not for me, I think I have control, but i really don't. So now just deleted all the apps. Loved this video. Keep up the good work.
its funny i haven't used social media in like a year because i realized what it was doing to the world and how unnatural and unfulfilling that kind of human interaction that was i broke away from it and do it old-school, making friends like pre social media. being 21 most people don't believe it when i tell them i have no form of social media. i work on improving my social skills and how to better connect with people because good real conversations are so much more fulfilling. i see way way to often people around me in public on there phones ignoring each other. on the phones while driving. on the phone watching mind numbing tiktoks as they wait on something. so disconnected from the world they live in and living in there phones instead like a slave to it. i see how standoffish and quiet people are around in public all scared to even give eye contact with each other much less talk and connect because they all are so disconnected. i can see how often strangers light up a little when i have a friendly conversation with them because i think deep down all of us crave something real and genuine nowadays and its ok to be authentic and let go of our fronts. all of us can do so much better than how we're doing now. the world needs more authenticity and less fear of getting hurt for sharing our love we have for each other and stop being ashamed and embarrassed over things that make us for who we are. we all can overcome anxiety and unhealthy addicting habits and behaviors and its worth the hard work that it does come with.
Sub conscious is most impressible upon first waking up! Glad I learned that! Don't let yesterday take up too much of today, wake up and set good intentions for the day and move, physically out of your bed and do something uncomfortable. E g. I live next to a creek and waterfall. That s.o.b. is cold af! So I'd rather jump into icy waters and be uncomfortable instead of in a warm cozy bed endlessly scrolling.
Deleted my instagram , Pinterest , TikTok etc only have VSCO and UA-cam best decision I’ve EVER MADE & no I will not personally be going back to social media❤
you are an AMAZING channel it’s crazy to me that you’re kind of new. you are sharing info i’ve never seen anywhere online and you’re presenting it so clearly and authentically
that last point about your subconscious mind making you feel weird when you’re doing something beneficial is 🔥. love how you explained the difference between our logical and emotional thinking as well, great video.
I'm not half way in this video but i definitely going to watch a few times just to grasp the depth of how this brother broke down how psychologically powerful social media is. This video deserves a million views in less than a month but it just shows that we as humanity are dealing with a very intelligent ''enemy'' . You have a new subscriber Jem Veda ,you spoke to me in so many ways
Honestly i was never one to care about social media when i had it and never really posted or care about likes or comments or anything like that, but once i deleted all my social media, i def started to experience better energy levels, being able to learn more than one skill or complete more than one goal at a time, when compared to even having a social media. So honestly just having social media in general is just terrible. Its the main reason why kids and teens in school have the same amount of stress and anxiety as a psych ward patient back in 1910 or so. And on top of that. Believing in what you think and what you research compared to what others say as most people try to get clout from everything it seems. Will also benefit you greatly.
Well said, I personally use it for branding and to connect with peers/stay in touch with people I care about. But it takes serious awareness of what you’re consuming. Taking longer breaks has helped me so much.
I love the quotes in between the big concepts. Thanks for giving me some faith in humanity. It feels good to know there are others out there that understand the whole picture. God bless you and your family 💕
I was trying to gain more information about this topic and every other video/website said the exact same things. This is the only video that made me learn something new. It’s obvious that you did a great job and research before posting this and I really appreciate it!
You are providing the type of content that is so desperately needed on this media. A concise but still comprehensive evaluation of our relationship to ourselves in this new age ( I’m 70 years old - this age is so different than the one in which I grew up)… I’ll need to listen to this quite a few more times. Perhaps you should think about writing a book - I know I’d buy it ! 🙏
You are so refreshing! I’m not sure what algorithm brought this video to me but, your voice, the way you speak, and what you’re saying, is just wonderful! I’ve got to keep my eye on you so I’m subscribing😉👍 Keep on sharing your wisdom with us. We need it💞
Cognitive Dissonance is what you were speaking about at the end of the video. Our subconscious is so programmed that when something is really uncomfortable, we deny thinking differently to confront and reprogram.
I’d care if I saw someone fall 😕but for real thank you for all your awesome hard work and dedication, you have an amazingly wise mindset and speak with integrity, it’s very refreshing.💯✊🏼
12:09 Omg! You called me out… thank you though… I was watching your video while also checking my notifications… You are a tremendous blessing… I just found your channel today and this is the second video of yours that I’ve watched. The information you share is so important to the ways in which I desire to develop as a human. You have inspired me to … 1. Start being more singular in my focus ie. Not searching for more content while consuming content (a nasty habit I have allowed to go unchecked for far to long). And 2. Take my stretching, meditation, and conscious breathing practices more seriously. Thank you for the important content you create. So excited to see more of your content. Thanks again. Now back to the video… with my undivided attention.
Jem, I just found your channel a few days ago. I love you content/topics! All of it is stuff I've thought about and/or am interested in. Good for you for making the channel! I'll be watching. Peace ✌
Great video bro!! You've posted one of the best content/video. This is the reality. Everyone who are still using social media are getting fucked up. I was a person who used to be scrolling in all kinds of social media. But it's been a 5 months I've controlled the use. It's no easy task man. You gotta get back in the reality. Meditation is the best way to get out of social medias. I've been getting better results after meditating on a daily basis. Anyone who's reading this get back to reality ASAP and live your life to the fullest!!!
the imaginary audience if fucking TOO REAAAAL like, holy shit, everything I do, mostly when I'm alone, I think I'm being judge and evaluated, that I'm suppose to be entertaining someone as if I am streaming it, or being questioned about it later by someone that watched it like in a interview with a skectchy journalist trying to portray me as bad. this wears me out so fucking much!!!!!
I like this video! Randomly came up on my feed but it makes sense it did. Some Stoicism in here, with if we consume ALL negative stuff through social media it reminds me of the quote "We dye our mind by the color of our thoughts" The pendulum-swing reminds me of one of the principles of the Kybalion. Cool video man! Keep up the good work!
@JemVeda ironically as soon as I saw you liked my comment, I got that "dopamine hit" of "yay he liked my comment!" LOL That will be a good video too! In recovery and being an atheist as long as I have been. The Kybalion kind of made sense for me putting hope in a 'higher power" with the universe
It’s great to be aware of that! And yeah, the more I learn about reality and myself, the more I understand how real the universe/god is. But not in the traditional “humanoid form” that religions usually portray it to be.
amazing content. Your points are things i thought of when i started observing my thoughts and actions more and i can feel the truth in them. I appreciate the effort you put into these videos.
You are one RAD dude! So glad I came across your channel. The fact that you have read Vadim Zealand is pretty awesome! Not many people in the Americas seem to have even heard of him
I really appreciate this video. The part about trying to convince people that something is true when 10 people are saying the opposite got me thinking my opinion was worthless. Again I truly appreciate the video
This video is pure heattttttttttttttt, I love when content creator actually share good and helpful advice. You just got yourself a follower(friend) lol
I think as a platform, it shows how each individual is, whetther they're creative or vain or attention seeking or self expression. It also exposes those that have addictive personalities or perverted types too, based on what they post or the content they watch. I use tiktok and UA-cam only for sharing hobbies and interests and to watch infotmative videos but that's it. Well said on being mindful and energy spent on social media, great talk 💯👏🏻👍🏻
Banger of a video man, keep it up. Really thoughtfull words, I usually don't coment on things but this need more attention, this is a video that I'm sure gonna rewatch every time I fall back on doing things automatically. Really aprecciate you investing your time on this message.
I’ve been feeling this for a long time. I’ve never felt so alone as I do when I look out at the world and it’s social media addiction. I miss real face to face human relationships so much but it’s like people are no longer capable of this anymore😭😭😭… sometimes this sh*+ makes me suicidal. The world needs to wake up and realise what we’ve lost💔
There’s a reason why we’re referred to as “Consumers” more than we are individual people these days.
🎯
Yeah, that's called Capitalism
There's a way to use. Just like food. Health food the right amount is good for u it helps u vs pleasurable food that destroys ur insulin n loaded with sugar turns u into an addict.
Don't blame the spoon for gluttony. Stop blaming social media, the social media is a tool.
It's your fault if you're addicted to social media or "hurt" by it
More like soft UNITS of consumption. You are not seen as a human, a person. Only a warm unit to sell to or get "likes" from. I'm so glad that my time here is drawing nigh and I won't be here for the repercussions of this false bullshit.
Get It & Catch It.... Speak. 👍
Ur point about the “imaginary audience” is what I’m experiencing rn. I’m taking a break from the socials and I keep thinking what my friends are thinking about my lack of posts, stories etc. Its like I’m still performing for them in my head and I hate it
I’m sure a lot of people can relate. Long breaks make a huge difference in how you feel.
I just pretend that a book character or ghost is watching me instead. It’s more cool
@@kateendrews46 thats nice im gonna have to start doing that fr
I do the same exact thing
Same,I wanna POST STUFF SO I LOOK SOOOO COOL,it’s hard but I try not to be there trololol ima deactivate rn
I stopped social media a few months ago and I can personally say I am a lot more happy than I was before, social media is just people trying to get attention and once you realize that it makes you not like it anymore.
ahhhhhhhhhhh
UA-cam is social media...
@@chrisw9122it's not rlly social media , you don't chat with people or often see the content from people you know
I mean there's UA-cam
But seriously what's wrong with want attention?
Went on a social media detox from 2021 to June 2023. It really taught me about myself and the attachment issues that I had with various social media platforms.

Really cool insight! Glad to see you saw the other side brother.
That just opened my eyes
I'm glad to hear. you bettered yourself and where self disciplined and learned very useful life lessons to live healthier. you should be proud
You are the main character bro
If that’s what you wanna be then be that

I started doing an IG project after taking psychedelics to learn how to express myself without restraints. I don't care what they think and I avoid the feed, that thing will eat you alive

Interesting experiment
That feed is definitely sly. They put the search button there so you can scroll for hours. Good awareness

3 yrs ago I deleted all my social media, my mental health is so much better, my stress levels have dropped n im generally more happy n at peace, I only have UA-cam to help me on my spiritual journey.
I do not copy or get jealous over people on social media because it's not worth it. Live the life you want to live.
There we go
On a Social Media Detox for over a year now since late 2021. Deleted FB, Snapchat, Twitter & IG accounts. Used to constantly feel anxiety & experience FOMO. After leaving social media I felt a sense of quiet peace which I haven’t felt in years. I could be more productive & focused. Managed to cut bad habits easier & built meaningful connections. My relationship with my loved ones improved significantly. My thoughts become more articulate & less scattered. Highly recommend. 🙏🏻
It takes three weeks to drop a habit. Six weeks to learn a new habit. Finally, ninety days to hardwire the habit.
Thanks for your content. ☮️☯️
This is exactly why I minimize how much I use social media.
I notice people acting how you described in this video and I’m not like them or as affected as them. I’ve noticed it put distance between some “friendships” in my life.
Yup, big time
I agree with most of this but I’m not gonna stop using 2x speed on videos where the person on camera keeps going: “ Ummm……yeah….ummmmm) every 12 seconds.
You don’t do that but many UA-camrs do and you can save yourself a few minutes by increasing the speed.
@@chris7285 Yes me too
Never had any type of social media, and I love myself so much for it 🥰
Good for you!!
I thought this video would be like all the other videos about why social media is bad for you but the way you scripted this, just phenomenal. You went real deep, I definitely felt attacked lol. I hope you get more reach you're awesome!
Haha thanks!
I don't use social media at all. Never been on Twitter or any of that stuff. As a spectator it just looks like a worldwide emotional control experiment. My mind is my own.
Any video I see on UA-cam that says "red flags in women" or "red flags in men", I will personally block the entire channel.
I think a few years ago and especially during the lock downs, social media seemed important; but now it's not that important. I'm back to living real life.
The lockdown taught me how easy it is to get sucked into it. Fortunately I was focused on my life purpose primarily.
Remember that’s you, collective society is programmed by this beast.
They made life miserable and over profited from app intermediance on work... now feck off.. all took all just off..
Let it finish... what it started... robbery...
Take all and feck... of... let die.. in peace
I keep hearing about social media impacting depression, anxiety, etc in teens and 20 somethings, in particular, and it makes a lot of sense.
I'm 46 and my first 'social media' experience was AOL when I was 15 years old.
It was so limited and slow, it was mostly for chatting and meeting new people it used to take a long time to send one picture. (Sometimes 15 or 20 min!)
No one knew other people's opinions or personal business about life, interests, hobbies, politics relationships and family unless you told someone in person, saw them out in public places or heard something about them through gossip.
People's lives were generally as private as they wanted them to be.
To socially interact you had to talk to people on a non-mobile phone, through online chat rooms but mostly people socialized in publics places. Shopping malls were a HUGE part of social life. Recreation centers, schools, social clubs, churches, going out to eat, etc was where people socialized. People were out in the physical world interacting in person.
People occasionally wondered what other people thought about certain things but you mostly didn't know other people's private business.
The media was just TV, newspapers, publishing industry. People could still get sucked into that but it was MUCH more limited.
There wasn't all the visual and audio overload of the internet today.
The pace of life was much slower.
I think it's easier for late 30 somethings and older to unplug from the Internet because we knew what life was life before social media existed.
It still blows my mind a graduated college before I got my first cell phone and smart phones didn't exist.
I miss the relative simplicity of life back in the day. I have a lot of empathy for younger people who are forming their sense of self which is being HUGELY influenced by social media...and that's the only world they have ever known.
UA-cam is where I spend most of my time because I can consciously select what I give my attention to.
im 3 minutes into the video but i just want to say as a reminder for people its possible to overcome your programming! It is possible to get better from your traumas and ego. I fully believed my trauma defined me as a person and that i'll never change. It gets better and it gets easier. Especially with letting go of ur ego. I was a person who was extremely fearful and anxious over everything. I couldn't enjoy life. I fully believed i was autistic because it got to the point id actually have meltdowns in public because i couldn't deal with it. Maybe i am autistic who knows but i'm not going to dwell on it and let it define me and embrace it in a sense. Anxiety to me doesn't feel real. Looking back now it feels so silly. Also let yourself be human. Its okay to feel sad or anxious sometimes but use that as motivation to pick yourself back up.
Well said 👏👏
Experience has taught me that overcoming programming begins when you stop telling yourself you are awake at any other moment than when you actually are awake. If you really really want to improve and step into the world of the Reenlightenment doing things like making creepy paintings is important. The creepier and darker paintings made by rational people become the more rational they and their viewers become. The viewers tell them that there are irrational things going on in these paintings which need discussion, and this helps you to have better and more demanding ideas. Creepy music and music and films which make you think also works wonders.
Idk im autistic and my advice never go find out if u are till you are like 75.
I got wrapped up in the personal identity behind it and it fucks with your head. They dont have a cure anyways so wtf do u need to know for. Its like i didnt feel different till somebody told me i was. Just thought i was shy. Like since when is being shy bad.
Plus if you find out then you have an excuse for all your problems instead of trying to come up with solutions.
Dopamine levels on social has been crazy lately. It’s like the fully weaponized this stuff now.
Yupp, it’s made to be ultra addictive
I’m glad the algorithm brought me to your feed. Very thought provoking. You’re not pushing viewership or likes. Your message hits home with me at this point in my life. You have a new follower. Thank you.
Thank you, welcome to the channel!
Social media is basically as I like to refer "panodora's box" it's a drug that is needed more and more my boyfriend is at that point where he is so addicted that he doesn't sleep can't hold a job down misses appointment even forgets to eat
Well said, and I hope he can internalize what it’s doing. Feel free to share the video with him
I have shared this video and he denys that this is him and he called me crazy not a shocker
“Humans make a change when the pain of staying the same is more painful than the pain of changing.” It could take some time
Girl - what are you getting out of this relationship? Save yourself.. a man that calls you crazy is dangerous - get out asap
@@lindacarlos7960 then break up with him
In 2021 I actually did take six months social media detox, and that really felt good! I can do it again 😊 thank you for this information❤
🙏
I deleted all social media when I was 15 (9 years ago) and never looked back. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my mental health honestly. Also I was wasting way too much time on there just mindlessly scrolling. Don’t let anyone try to lure you back in 😂
It’s one of the biggest traps of today’s society and just making the youth miserable. I’m proud of you for doing a 6 month detox! Good job 😁 You can indeed do it again, see it as a challenge. Maybe this time you can try for longer. And the longer you spent off of social media the more you will realize being on there doesn’t actually do anything positive for your well being. Instead you can try out new hobbies, read books, explore nature, spend time with family or learn skills, essentially replace it with things and activities that will have a positive impact on your life. I wish you the best of luck, you can do it! 💪🏻
I had to chuckle about that "are you watching this video consciously" part. I have ADHD and I ironically listen to video essays like this to actually be productive without distractions. Drowns out the thought salad pretty nicely.
I been off socials for some months now. I used to never use socials since I was a lame and I wish I never got into it back during the MySpace hay day. That started it all for me.
I feel A LOT better since I deleted Facebook, and instagram. The only reason I would keep running back, is because I would think I’m missing something, just to realize I’m not missing a thing! And the stuff on IG, and Facebook ALWAYS gives me the reminder why I got off in the first place.
Well said brother 😎
Awesome video, your echo chamber comment is spot on.
"Subconsciously, social media is a deep habit that serves some sort of purpose in your life ... that superficially helps you" I believe this deeper urge is simply our desire to be seen. The human mind is not designed to handle the stress of not being seen. We feel less real if others do not see us, do not acknowledge our existence. This has an evolutionary purpose which is the task of the 21st century human to 're-write'.
What we strive for, then, is to come into contact with 'reality'. Paradoxically, the less I am observed by others, the more 'real' I perceive myself to be. That is, by not participating in echo chambers, my shadow discloses itself to me, a monster that lingers behind my conscious perception of the visible, material reality. It is by integrating the shadow that I become the shadow, then the monster, only to return to my final resting place, that of the child. Who I 'really' am is that part of myself that I discover through introspection, not that part of myself that is discovered by external observers who project their shadow onto me, in hopes of my reciprocal 'echoing' back to them in an attempt to verify their reality.
Social isolation seems to hold the answers. The question is, how does one prepare them self to face the wilderness?
This comment of course presupposes that one is faced with psychological trauma when they withdraw from social media, which need not be the case for everyone. It also implies that the next logical step after withdrawing from social media is to withdraw from the world completely, which is only true if one is interested in pursuing deeper integration of their psyche and perhaps developing a spiritual component to their conscious awareness. To withdraw from all family, friends, relationships, jobs, etc. to venture deeper into one's unconscious mind, is both a difficult and time consuming pursuit, and thus should be navigated and explained carefully. To kill oneself, metaphorically speaking, is to kill one's urge to be seen; to disappear into the wilderness of their mind only to return to 'the world' of echoes and shadows with a beacon of light in one hand, a mask in the other.
Well said, probably my favorite comment on this video.
Geez man that shit went hard🔥🔥🔥 real motivational shii
Really well written wow
Okay, I feel what you're putting down. One question; Who are you??
@@Karaca86What a great question :)
My name is David. I am God first, a human being second, a man third, a son, a citizen (of Earth, which resides in a ‘milky’ part of the galaxy), a brother, an uncle, a friend.
That part of me I discover through introspection is that part which I perceive to be beyond individual human consciousness. It is that part of my being which is not ‘mine’ but ‘ours,’ not here nor there but everywhere, perhaps everything, all at once. It is that part of you which is me, and me which is you, which is us, which has always existed, and always will. Some call it God. God, to me, is the universe (woah, so deep, I know, I know). I am self aware and I enjoy being self aware. I exist within the universe. Since I am self aware and exist within the universe, it follows that the universe is self aware, even if only to the degree that I am self aware. The human being, then, is justified in its existence solely on the basis that the universe enjoys being self aware, which is a true statement because I enjoy being self aware. If the universe did not enjoy being self aware, evolution would not have made human beings self aware. Therefore, I choose not to kill myself (physically) because my life has a profound meaning which is rooted in a secular worldview: it feels good to be me.
It feels good to lay here in bed, writing out this response; to feel the warmth of my duvet cover wrapped around me; to feel the cool breeze of my fan bouncing off my skin. Perhaps after writing this response I’ll lay here feeling the sensation of the air current flowing through my hair, and forget all about myself, letting go of all the roles and expectations my ego so desperately clings to, and just enjoying this present moment. Or perhaps I’ll watch another drone strike video, because that also feels good, and no God can tell me otherwise.
You ask me who I am, but deep down, you already know me so well, as I do you :)
I used to get up and scroll on tiktok but now I don’t and I find myself being more productive then ever. Thanks man no one ever talks about the subconscious mind with social media. :)
Awesome 👏
This year I particularly feel the toll to "be considered someone" online. After facing real life necessities (working), a coaching session and a bit of tiredness, I'm on a point where I no longer have a reason to post or write. This said, my side profession is quite creative and needs exposure, especially On Ig. But I give priority to rest and reconnect to what I like best.
I love this 😎, you have great awareness
Love this! Whenever I start realising that the thoughts I'm having are no longer my own, I take a social media detox. Because I feel like we don't really realise just how much influence social media has on the thoughts we have daily.
Dude you’re thumbnail style is so dope.
Thanks man, just my ideas that I piece together
I haven't had social media since 2012, deleted my facebook and never went back to any form of social media. I never cared to live according to beat of this worlds drum. I'm 29 and made this decision at 18, i value my peace and even vet the things or people i give my energy to. I know no one cares how i conduct my life, and i dont care how anyone conducts theirs. Social media contributes nothing positive to your life, and i'm confident in that truth.
*_"We are no longer familiar with ourselves but we are familiar with others...a monkey can see what the other person does but does it do what it sees?"_*
Love that
Ppl call it subconscious but try to see it as, all your memories and everything u know. Your brain holds it while operating in real time. When you are about to get hit with a ball, it grabs your memory in milliseconds and it tells you ohh that’s something you have to dodge.
Got rid of social media in 2019… felt free ever since
Remember if you can’t control your mind someone else will trust me stop caring others opinions you are unique individual.
You know it's gotten bad when you have to escape your mental escape. 💀
No really, I haven't logged into my socials for over ten months for this same reason. When I get overwhelmed I need adventure time to be on in order to decompress, but I've needed it constantly since then. I keep thinking of something Jake said along the lines of, " never be the guy with no phone, you'd think it'd make you more interesting, but people just forget to invite you to things" Being online for me is like jumping over a puddle and expecting the impact of hard ground, but where my feet land is quick sand. Now think of that but infinite puddles with a 50% chance of each one jumped, you either get stuck in a spiral for weeks to months, or experience something positive, (funny, educative, non impactful). Everyday I think about the friends I didn't tell, the messages I haven't read, and how even with family I've been put on an isolated back burner out of self preservation. My sister lives down the street from my house, and still we rarely interact outside of errands. When I tell her I miss her or suggest hanging out, the air feels thick with the expectation of "when are you going to check Instagram? I sent you memes". It's not like I haven't told her why I don't, but it doesn't change the fact my account is just sitting there reminding people I care about, that I'm not. I'm scared of being hurdled back into my echo chamber, and I'm afraid to see the rubble of bridges I never intended to burn. with that in mind, I'm not sure it's even helping my psyche breaking my chronically online streak, being I've found other things to over consume, and how I'm plagued daily by the guilt of something that should be considered healthy. It's like you either lose those who support you, or you lose yourself to support those relationships
extremely real
I was having this exact epiphany not long before I found this video, you just gotta live the life you want to live
"The imaginary audience, inside our head" I have been looking for these words for years! I have tried to explain this in so many ways and here it it! Thank you for articulating my thoughts!
I have tried like once took six months off social media but ended back again but learnt to consume content that help better my mind
Amazing video! I’m in the process of trying to break my social media addiction. Since I made being an influencer my full time career, it’s much more challenging to detach from it. But because this is my career and I spend so much time on it, I get to see how extremely negative and destructive social media can be on a very deep level. And it has gotten so much worse over the years
I’m the same way, but distinguishing being on it for work and being on it to surf has helped me. It takes consistent awareness haha
I legit deleted social media! Except snapchat to talk with ppl I only feel comfortable around
AND HECK I started going to the gym, reading , feeling in control
Social media is a devil work ong
This video needs to be looped on giant screens in the center of all cities.
Haha that’d be pretty cool
God I'm happy i never fell into SM addiction. I was always a lurker. If i posted something, it was out of spite and i stopped even wanting to do that anymore. So i don't use it period at this point. I actually really dislike it. Seeing posts pretty much only gives me negative feelings, either "i don't care" or "why tf would you post this" is 95% of how i feel scrolling
It’s crazy how I was just thinking about how social media dictate how mind and feelings/thoughts and soon as I scroll down UA-cam this pop up lol it was meant for me to watch this lol
Damn bro, you literally said everything about social media that I think about in my head but never knew how to explain it in words. Appreciate you so much.
Thank you brother 🙏
I proudly announce that I have been living social media freely for over 6 years. 😎
(UA-cam not included)
I was so stressed out and on top of it I have to handle my ADHD.
It worked. 👍🏻
Yess!!!!
I’m the opposite since I stay offline, I’m too scared to go back it gives me anxiety even thinking about it
Wow 1000% facts. I’ve gone through every single point he’s brought up. Especially the superficial part
Thanks for watching 🔥
your literally a genius. you broke down a lot of the thoughts and emotions i have. i've been getting more and more self aware over the past year and so much of what you said resonates with the ideas i've been journaling about
Incredibly important to talk about stuff like this it is not enough for everyone to just know social media is bad for you it is excellent for us to have discussions about mental health and social media to really get your brain wrapped around it
I really like your thumbnail, also the video is mind-blowing too✨
Speaking of algorithms, I found you that way! 😂 You’re very understandable and relatable. Thank you for being in this space!
Haha so it does some things right. And thank you!
I love how honest you are!!❤
I took a break from social media for more than a year. And i joined again thinking maybe I won't get addicted.. and my thinking might change.. no, I was back to square one.. I realised it's not for me, I think I have control, but i really don't. So now just deleted all the apps.
Loved this video. Keep up the good work.
You did the right thing.
its funny i haven't used social media in like a year because i realized what it was doing to the world and how unnatural and unfulfilling that kind of human interaction that was i broke away from it and do it old-school, making friends like pre social media. being 21 most people don't believe it when i tell them i have no form of social media. i work on improving my social skills and how to better connect with people because good real conversations are so much more fulfilling. i see way way to often people around me in public on there phones ignoring each other. on the phones while driving. on the phone watching mind numbing tiktoks as they wait on something. so disconnected from the world they live in and living in there phones instead like a slave to it. i see how standoffish and quiet people are around in public all scared to even give eye contact with each other much less talk and connect because they all are so disconnected. i can see how often strangers light up a little when i have a friendly conversation with them because i think deep down all of us crave something real and genuine nowadays and its ok to be authentic and let go of our fronts. all of us can do so much better than how we're doing now. the world needs more authenticity and less fear of getting hurt for sharing our love we have for each other and stop being ashamed and embarrassed over things that make us for who we are. we all can overcome anxiety and unhealthy addicting habits and behaviors and its worth the hard work that it does come with.
Right on man inspiring!!
Sub conscious is most impressible upon first waking up! Glad I learned that! Don't let yesterday take up too much of today, wake up and set good intentions for the day and move, physically out of your bed and do something uncomfortable. E g. I live next to a creek and waterfall. That s.o.b. is cold af! So I'd rather jump into icy waters and be uncomfortable instead of in a warm cozy bed endlessly scrolling.
All the influencers should hear this
Deleted my instagram , Pinterest , TikTok etc only have VSCO and UA-cam best decision I’ve EVER MADE & no I will not personally be going back to social media❤
you are an AMAZING channel it’s crazy to me that you’re kind of new. you are sharing info i’ve never seen anywhere online and you’re presenting it so clearly and authentically
Thank you so much 🙏
that last point about your subconscious mind making you feel weird when you’re doing something beneficial is 🔥. love how you explained the difference between our logical and emotional thinking as well, great video.
I'm not half way in this video but i definitely going to watch a few times just to grasp the depth of how this brother broke down how psychologically powerful social media is. This video deserves a million views in less than a month but it just shows that we as humanity are dealing with a very intelligent ''enemy'' . You have a new subscriber Jem Veda ,you spoke to me in so many ways
Finding your channel is a blessing
Honestly i was never one to care about social media when i had it and never really posted or care about likes or comments or anything like that, but once i deleted all my social media, i def started to experience better energy levels, being able to learn more than one skill or complete more than one goal at a time, when compared to even having a social media. So honestly just having social media in general is just terrible. Its the main reason why kids and teens in school have the same amount of stress and anxiety as a psych ward patient back in 1910 or so. And on top of that. Believing in what you think and what you research compared to what others say as most people try to get clout from everything it seems. Will also benefit you greatly.
Well said, I personally use it for branding and to connect with peers/stay in touch with people I care about. But it takes serious awareness of what you’re consuming. Taking longer breaks has helped me so much.
I used to be affected by social media and I would take breaks from it, but I just stop giving a shit, it doesn’t bother me anymore.
I love the quotes in between the big concepts. Thanks for giving me some faith in humanity. It feels good to know there are others out there that understand the whole picture. God bless you and your family 💕
I was trying to gain more information about this topic and every other video/website said the exact same things. This is the only video that made me learn something new. It’s obvious that you did a great job and research before posting this and I really appreciate it!
This is my new favourite channel 🙏🏼
You are providing the type of content that is so desperately needed on this media. A concise but still comprehensive evaluation of our relationship to ourselves in this new age ( I’m 70 years old - this age is so different than the one in which I grew up)… I’ll need to listen to this quite a few more times. Perhaps you should think about writing a book - I know I’d buy it ! 🙏
congratulations for the EXCELLENT work
very intelligently spoken and well constructed argument- messages like this are so important :)
You are so refreshing! I’m not sure what algorithm brought this video to me but, your voice, the way you speak, and what you’re saying, is just wonderful! I’ve got to keep my eye on you so I’m subscribing😉👍 Keep on sharing your wisdom with us. We need it💞
Love your channel man ! Great stuff!
I really admire the work you’re doing here.
so interesting!! everyone needs to know these things it’s crazy how much people don’t think twice about what they consume
It seems normalized not to think about it
Cognitive Dissonance is what you were speaking about at the end of the video. Our subconscious is so programmed that when something is really uncomfortable, we deny thinking differently to confront and reprogram.
Yessss
This video is just … I have no words. Literally amazing. A1. Spot on. You described & said everything so well
Keep up the good work bro !
You opening with , my nails and hair and everything is growing right now just blew my mind omg i never thought of that
I’d care if I saw someone fall 😕but for real thank you for all your awesome hard work and dedication, you have an amazingly wise mindset and speak with integrity, it’s very refreshing.💯✊🏼
Thats great way of explaining such complex topics!
Thank you!
12:09 Omg! You called me out… thank you though… I was watching your video while also checking my notifications… You are a tremendous blessing… I just found your channel today and this is the second video of yours that I’ve watched. The information you share is so important to the ways in which I desire to develop as a human. You have inspired me to … 1. Start being more singular in my focus ie. Not searching for more content while consuming content (a nasty habit I have allowed to go unchecked for far to long). And 2. Take my stretching, meditation, and conscious breathing practices more seriously. Thank you for the important content you create. So excited to see more of your content. Thanks again. Now back to the video… with my undivided attention.
I’m glad this video helped you 🎉
This is absolutely brilliant!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jem, I just found your channel a few days ago. I love you content/topics! All of it is stuff I've thought about and/or am interested in. Good for you for making the channel! I'll be watching. Peace ✌
Great video bro!! You've posted one of the best content/video. This is the reality. Everyone who are still using social media are getting fucked up. I was a person who used to be scrolling in all kinds of social media. But it's been a 5 months I've controlled the use. It's no easy task man. You gotta get back in the reality. Meditation is the best way to get out of social medias. I've been getting better results after meditating on a daily basis. Anyone who's reading this get back to reality ASAP and live your life to the fullest!!!
the imaginary audience if fucking TOO REAAAAL
like, holy shit, everything I do, mostly when I'm alone, I think I'm being judge and evaluated, that I'm suppose to be entertaining someone as if I am streaming it, or being questioned about it later by someone that watched it like in a interview with a skectchy journalist trying to portray me as bad.
this wears me out so fucking much!!!!!
Me too so I stopped all of it but yt
Recently subscribed and binged a few of your videos. Keep up the good work!
I like this video! Randomly came up on my feed but it makes sense it did.
Some Stoicism in here, with if we consume ALL negative stuff through social media it reminds me of the quote "We dye our mind by the color of our thoughts"
The pendulum-swing reminds me of one of the principles of the Kybalion.
Cool video man! Keep up the good work!
I really like that quote. And yes, as within, so without. I actually have an upcoming video on some principles from the Kybalion.
@JemVeda ironically as soon as I saw you liked my comment, I got that "dopamine hit" of "yay he liked my comment!" LOL
That will be a good video too! In recovery and being an atheist as long as I have been. The Kybalion kind of made sense for me putting hope in a 'higher power" with the universe
It’s great to be aware of that!
And yeah, the more I learn about reality and myself, the more I understand how real the universe/god is. But not in the traditional “humanoid form” that religions usually portray it to be.
You fucks with the alchemy bro?
@user-gs1lz2pw9v is that reply for me?
amazing content. Your points are things i thought of when i started observing my thoughts and actions more and i can feel the truth in them. I appreciate the effort you put into these videos.
Started hearing your channel this morning and yes! More please
Yes, more to come!
Love the clarity of your voice and delivery of the message.💕Thank you.
Thank you :)
Found this video at the right time, thanks so much, I loved the way you presented each segment.
You are one RAD dude!
So glad I came across your channel. The fact that you have read Vadim Zealand is pretty awesome! Not many people in the Americas seem to have even heard of him
I really appreciate this video. The part about trying to convince people that something is true when 10 people are saying the opposite got me thinking my opinion was worthless. Again I truly appreciate the video
Thank you 🙏🎉
Very well articulated and thought out. Thank you!
This video is pure heattttttttttttttt, I love when content creator actually share good and helpful advice. You just got yourself a follower(friend) lol
Welcome to the channel!
It makes me sad that content like this isn’t nearly as popular as it should be. I’m new here but I can tell that this man is severely underrated.
I think as a platform, it shows how each individual is, whetther they're creative or vain or attention seeking or self expression. It also exposes those that have addictive personalities or perverted types too, based on what they post or the content they watch. I use tiktok and UA-cam only for sharing hobbies and interests and to watch infotmative videos but that's it. Well said on being mindful and energy spent on social media, great talk 💯👏🏻👍🏻
Like your videos brother. Everything u say makes sense. It’s deep.
Banger of a video man, keep it up. Really thoughtfull words, I usually don't coment on things but this need more attention, this is a video that I'm sure gonna rewatch every time I fall back on doing things automatically. Really aprecciate you investing your time on this message.
Of course :), thanks for watching!
Im so glad I found your channel. It is full of wisdom and clarity, thank you 🙏
Thank you!
I’ve been feeling this for a long time. I’ve never felt so alone as I do when I look out at the world and it’s social media addiction. I miss real face to face human relationships so much but it’s like people are no longer capable of this anymore😭😭😭… sometimes this sh*+ makes me suicidal. The world needs to wake up and realise what we’ve lost💔
