    I know there are going to be people who feel like she’s being pessimistic, jealous or mean, but this is simply the truth! People will post on social media and fake it everyday and share everything for validation and boastful reasons.

      I know how this girl feels. When I was on Facebook, I lost count of how many times I felt like Charlie Brown not being able to kick that football! After watching a bunch of videos of people quitting social media, I just acted on impulse and deleted my Facebook account. No regrets.

    Thanks for sharing your opinion. All of this is so true to me personally because I'm 22 years old, and I've dealt with cyber bullying on both my Instagram and Snapchat. After that, i've realized to myself that it was too much for me and it was a distraction since i was scrolling on all my apps. A lot of people would always show off and were fake because of it. It caused me depression, anxiety and rejection. Those people weren't always responsive to me, so they weren't even friends at all. Finally, I plan to delete all of mine pretty soon.

    I just deleted my Instagram account - this app was the issue for me, never had TikTok or Twitter or Snapchat. I deleted the Facebook app but kept my account active and only the Messenger app on my phone.
    I feel a huge sense of relief and space now in my life to do things intentionally only. And also I was getting fed up with the exposure to random people and ppl reaching out to me who I really don’t want to talk to.
    And btw I TOTALLY relate to you when you said that you got self conscious about being alone. ❤ it’s the same for me, I am quite an independent person and spend most of my time alone even though I have some true friends. But social media makes me feel like I’m some weird outcast of society. Love your video and happy for you! 😊

    Real life is very different to 'social' media. It's much more relaxed, and fulfilling to be off it. I had a spell of 10 weeks off Instagram and It was amazing. I re-downloaded it and re-activated it and saw that there was a yearning for nostalgia being plastered everywhere. And i think it's really terrible for mental health to have that in your face constantly. There's a yearning of people who use the app to experience genuine emotions. And in the end, I deleted it again today. It just doesn't seem worthwhile. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. It's like it trains you to live vicariously through content... It's cuckoldry. Fuck that

    I left Facebook in 2022 and don't plan on going back. I got sick of all the political posts and people talking about their "perfect lives." Never had a TikTok account because I didn't see a point to it. And I seldom post on Instagram because I don't have a huge amount of stuff to say.

  • @TheFlareMind

    Great video! There are people who show off on social media like they’re a celebrity / well liked / important which isn’t the case. They’re imperfect.
    Some people are fake and look to get something from you. Also some people are so petty that even if you apologise to them (if say you’ve done something wrong) they can’t move on!
    Therefore I prefer quality over quantity. I also prefer smaller group of friends/family who can I relate to etc.

    I just deleted my Instagram. I'm not gaining anything valuable there, except for people showing off every chance that they get. I don't feel jealous or anything, but I do find myself getting really bored of the highlight reels. I don't see anyone posting realistic, real life shit. In my case, I've been posting a lot on my Insta stories and I've been posting memes and humour stuff, mostly. When I get personal, it's not just about the good stuff. It's also about the not-so-good stuff. I just wish that everyone there kept it real instead of portraying perfect lives.

      I don‘t know honestly. Of course it’s fine to use social media if you’re able to regulate your screen time and use the apps mindfully. But why even bother to look what’s going on in other people’s lives? I recently heard someone say that you’ll know what your friends are doing with their lives because you’re in touch with them through texting and meeting in real life. And for me, this is so true. It was just the same for all the generations before us: you knew about people who you cared about or who lived close to you, that’s it. So why even bother to see what anyone else is doing and why continue to consume smth if you can improve your life quality (or at least try to) by giving up on smth that is more harmful than beneficial?

    Its a great video But there is some point of view is your point of view ! There is things that I do not relate to and you seems to judge people as probably not a good friend because they don’t remember there birthday which in my case a birthday is not important at all… I have friends they would always be there for me and very good friend but they just don’t know about my birthday… so well There is différent point of view and everyone is different! But if I don’t know or forget the birthday of somebody and that person tell me im not a good friend mmmh lol… that would probably not happening in my surrounding or it would be more like a joke type of thing to bug me out as a sign of love ❤️
    But in another point im glad to see that you are able to reconize that social media is a show in general and thats not the real life of everyday…
    Put your value in the right place and be able to value yourself as you are and be able to improve as you can see whats need to be improve and be better. Then you was before as a person for yourself !
    I think posting is a good thing when you do it for yourself and thats a great place to rewatch memories over years! Also to share or teach your point of view and knowledge from experience or simply entertaining people ! Its good to keep your feed with positive and uplifting stories with humble people ! Not just good imagine and good actors seeking attention to feed the ego but we are all on the life journey to learn and try to enjoy this beautiful experience in this amazing world 😊 with different version of ourself everywhere around !
    And to add another point sometimes its good to capture the best shots and see if its taking off 🛫 it is a fame and life is a playground sometimes the games is very fun to play and for me im an artist and videomaker so I love taking shots and when I take a great one that im prode of myself because For me thats the reward for me then sometimes I end up sharing them so you can also benefit from it 🎉
