I deleted Fb about a month ago . after about 2 weeks I noticed my stress was cut in half and I have been way more happy. facebook Is a game of who's life is better,fake news and just plain negative. those past friends are just that -past friends
Yes I just shared this w my sister. She's on Facebook all the time even when we are supposed to be hanging out. I look over and she's looking into her phone. For hours. I've disconnected 4yrs ago now and my awareness is increased for the better and I'm a better person bc I'm truly involved and engaging conversation and spending time together. Life is for living and too short giving it to Facebook.
Every day I think about deactivating facebook. I don't have many friends on it and people I used to be good friends with just aren't the same anymore. I doubt anyone would notice me quitting it. I hate how people just don't talk anymore. Ever since smart phones and facebook the world has changed for the worse in my opinion. I just hate this decade because of it and I find it hard to adapt to it.
Thats the thing. All these friends but few have any desire to interact with you yet you'd feel rude in deleting them. Its like being invited to a party where noone wants to talk to you.
No I did not stop because It's the only outlet to get started in my career because I don't have money to travel and get around to make money so social media and youtube helps with that and gives me so many resources.
I also quit Fakebook a long time ago and I also got rid off my mobile phone 2 1/2 years ago. I like privacy, I like peace of mind and I like REAL LIFE & REAL INTERACTIONS. Good to hear that some other people feel the same...')) Thanks for sharing and have good life.
I quit FB just over a week ago to get away from the toxicity. I was turning in to a horrible argumentative jerk and became very depressed. I kept messenger to keep in contact with those who I have regular contact with. I use snap chat but only with a few close friends to be silly and send funny pictures. I use instagram for all the memes and funny viral videos and reading words of wisdom. I use reddit for the news and I love UA-cam because I love watching instructional videos, movie clips and other bits and pieces After quitting FB a week or so ago I already feel the benefits. I'm happier, I have a better attention span and I feel like I can be more open to those who I speak with on a daily basis. Im going to delete twitter very soon. I rarely go on it these days but i may as well if I find i rarely use it.
Bianca Howard love this! I feel similar to you. I recently quit Facebook and have noticed a huge increase in productivity as well as relaxation. I picked up reading books again and it’s been an incredibly enjoyable experience. I hope you are well these days and enjoying being off FB :)
The other problem with Facebook is that we are minding other people's business not our own. We are wasting our time and thoughts on them and not on ourselves. I need to be taken care of me. And most people on there don't care about you anyway. Get off it and see how many people will call you up and ask "Are you ok?"
I know this was a year ago, but bro you are so right about that. I just gave up my fb a week ago. I sent messages to my family and friends to email me. Phhhh no one said a peep. My own mother didnt know i deleted fb after i left the post up for a few days. I dont want to go back to that. I got clarity in mind and focus on my life and my family. Its like a parasitic energy leecher that will suck the best people emotionally dry.
Wow that’s crazy show us right dere how bad an toxic an the craziness it do too our mindset it’s scary but alotta ppl are blind an addicted too wake up an see it’s really hurting there mindset an lives an social interaction best thang too do is get off it an get your mind an mindset an lives back before it’s too late..an pray for the ones that’s really deep off in it an addictive too that evil platforms .. an hope one day this social media’s platform will be gone an over with for good
Exactly similar reasons I deactivated my FB account a year ago. I'm particularly uncomfortable with the fact that sites like FB show just one side of life or rather an "image" of what one "wants" to have of themselves. I've been way more happier and have been way more focused with whatever I do ever since I deactivated FB. Great video!
2017 resolution...quit facebook, instagram, twitter...I hate social media. I only want to use youtube to find videos that support my lifestyle and meetup to find groups that DO ACTUAL SHIT I like to DO IN REAL LIFE.
My birthday present to myself this year, rid of FAKEbook. Take a wild guess how many birthday calls I got from my "friends and family"...give you a hint...starts with a z. Kept words w/"friends" I like to make words. I am happier as well.
That's a great video, man! I deleted my Facebook account less than a year ago and ever since then, I found that it was one of the best healthiest decisions I made in life. I agree that Facebook is a huge distraction, a waste of time, and it's addicting. And ever since I left Facebook, I have felt that I have more freedom and now I can communicate with my friends who matter to me more in real time than on social media.
Its hard sometimes for a major introvert like myself to be a big fb user. I get sick of people bragging how great their lives are. The the ones that fall in love and post daily reminders of their new found glory. Ughh shut up already and leave the cheesyness for a burger. I'm glad you found someone but now i get tohear about all the time.
I felt a strong sense of liberation when I deleted Facebook as I got fed up with comparing myself with others, got tired of bread crumbing others and getting bread crumbed myself I felt like I am getting my life back 👍👍👍
It's 2018 now and all the dynamics you mentioned here have no changed one bit. I'm taking a few weeks away to get myself together so I can refine how I network and hopefully it turns out for the best.
I have facebook but i stopt posting things since april. I just have it for events information, but i only open it once a week for 2 min. Its a fake world full of mean people thats why i quit in april. I dont use it any more on my mobile device i deleted messenger.
Btw. This is the best UA-cam video I've seen on this topic. It's really FOMO and comparison living at its worst. Everyone has their own journey and it's unique. Facebook makes you feel anxious and negative. Too much drama, negative politics and comparisons. I believe it's ruining my life. I left. Can you do a video on what else you've deleted from your life? You said you don't have a cell phone. Would like to see what you recommend for a more peaceful life.
How very true - the part about projecting a false life, thus making others feel weird. In fact it is the very same reason I quit Facebook too. At first, I was very annoyed with people (internally I was calling them morons), but now after more than a year without it, I actually feel sorry for them - being trapped in that sort of false reality. I did try to explain my absence to a couple of people I know in real life (they failed to understand my point); I did not want to push the issue, I firmly stick to my principle of not overly explaining myself, and I respect that not everyone is ready to see things as they are - being militant about my reasons would most probably invite anger, and unnecessary argument. Some people clearly understand the "danger" while others need to realize it for themselves. I am almost 40 and spent a great deal of my early youth, trying to convince people around similar issues. About 5-6 years ago, a man that was wiser than me told me, "never give people advice, unless they really seek it from you." That sentence really marked a paradigm shift in how I deal with people.
I deleted my FB account last night and I felt better today not starting my day scrolling through all the crap and stuff. I sat and drank my tea, looked outside, petted my cats and found I was much happier. Its gone for good and I'm glad i did it
I deactivated my account last night. Facebook has become to depressing because all I saw everyday is people bitching about why they're single and bitching about Trump being our President. When I left I haven't felt so much better and happier.
I quitted facebook very early on about 2012. Never picked it up again lol by that I mean I don't use social media. I just feel it is counterproductive with it than without. Yeah man I don't use social media and I am happy.
The way I see it if our childhood friends where meant to be in our future they wouldn't have lost contact with us!! Facebook is an illusion false reality with people on your friends claiming to be your friends yet don't spend time with them in real life!! I was on Facebook had friends I tried my best to get them to visit when they pass my house or call or text they said oh where busy yet you have all the time in the world to check Facebook an Instagram Twitter Snapchat through out the day!! Has anyone wondered why we need so many apps that does the same thing?
I think what you said makes perfect sense. I deactivated my facebook account. I first stopped posting things to facebook, then I deleted the app and could only access it from chrome which because it was not so handy I ended using it less often and not posting anything, then finally I decided to just deactivated it all toghether. It feels good, kind f like a relief. I end up using the time and energy that I used to apply to checking facebook to much more valuable things like reading and working on my self-improvemnt and spirituality. Then I actually removed instagram from my phone and I don't check it nearly as often because it's not so at hand. I will mostly likely activate facebook again for it is useful for working and other things but the fact that I could live so well and better more at peace without it will and is actually decreasing my tendency to check it once I activate it again.I recommend for someone who finds it difficult to cancel their account just starting with deleting the app or take seasons of deactivating the account will actually improve life and you will gain more clear space in your mind.
Right. I can't stand the bullying the most. I've never been bullied. I'm talking about people who share memes of other people making fun of them like a photo of a socially unattractive person. Everytime it's done by people who have no room to talk
hey man! I'm really glad that someone half way across the world feels the same way. Facebook here in Egypt is just crazy! People are just always on it and it so depressing and a waste of time. I tried to quit it and limit myself from going on it but now jobs are being posted on the site and i gave myself the excuse to get on it just to look for jobs, but instead i find myself again doing what i tried to avoid watch is comparing, looking useless information and all that crap. Anyways thanks man for the video
I completely agree with you. Especially the point about it sortof sets the stage for people to more easily hate each other....I am finally gettong off after 5 long yrs of being on it to much. Enough is enough....and it only made people think the worst of me, for the most part. Just gets sickening.....
I've been on Facebook for a while and after all this time, I've been thinking about gradually quitting. Some people say, "Well you're my favorite person to talk to. Why?" (Favorite person? Ha!) It's gotten to the point where getting "likes" turned into a source of validity for me! :( After seeing a couple seated at a table next to mine and the guy doing nothing but scrolling on his phone, it was the last straw! I felt like it's just time for a change. So I'm going to try giving up using Facebook for a month to see what it's like.
This week I deleted my FB I was just tired of all the nonsense I saw on there, and I found that it took up so much of my time that it became an addiction for me. I love that you don't have a cell phone. I don't have a land line so I can't go back that far right now, but if I could trade my smart phone for a flip phone I would. Making a phone call is all I need to do. :)
Yes sooo true it does have family members arguing to the point they want talk to each other friends falling out it can be a mess i deleted my Facebook like a year ago I’m so happy I did
great video, Ive found facebook is a huge creator of narcisistic behaviour. some examples, in my town they have 3 tv weather woman, facebook has then constantly giving forth the image that they are always happy, are doing great financially, familywise, and career wise, they constantly show selfies and get off obn viewers saying "how beautiful you are", then they start having live facebook chats while they are doing a 30 minute newscast where they never stop smiling and talking about the great vacation they just went on or the new boat they just got or the awards thier kids just won, and one gal started having a contest where she asked viewers which of 2 dresses she should wear for the newscast...this is INSANE!, you are a weather lady not a freaking 6 time academy award winning movie star!, yet these ladies truely think they are celebritys and EVERYONE is interested in their lives.
Recently deleted mine for the reasons you mentioned, amongst others too. Seen so much human filth on Facebook too. People laughing about animal and domestic abuse, thinking it's okay or telling those who are abused to "grow a pair" and such. Public posts on that site are plagued with horrible people, regardless of their beliefs as a person. Almost hit my 10 year milestone using Facebook and ending my use with it has freed me immensely.
Scripturally I was led never-ever to open any social media accounts. There was so much herd-mentality involved in the explosion with the likes of FB and Twitter accounts that it was a total turn off to me. I thank God for His leading as my understanding is that once such an account is opened the host site continues to hold, track and farm the account's originator. This even if the account originator closes the account the deletion is merely window dressing and the monitoring continues....SCARY!
yes i am getting ready to leave facebook because the distraction but i run a radio show that users part of facebook so im trying to find a a way re directing listeners
I know this video must be a little old, but it still stands true today. There’s too many people in our head everyday. It’s complete overload. I quit FB and don’t miss it at all. I mean, how many cute chihuahua dogs in little sweaters can you look at in one day????? As I said, I don’t miss it!!!
I got kick off because I added pages to my Facebook, They wanted proof of ID because they think I have multiple accounts. What does adding pages have to do with that. Why do they have an option to add a page then. Take that tool away. I'm quitting Facebook. But first I need to get back on to do it. Do you think I will ever be able to get back on? So far it has been about a week after I sent them my ID to prove who I was. Please respond back. Thanks
I feel you. I'm trying to recruit people with my job and the old fashioned ways are not working well. Then I heard somewhere that since the young generation is using media on much of their spare time, we need to meet them where's they are in order to reach them, all the while I suffer with distraction of everyone else's posts when I go and post each time. It's a sour game.
I have been watching my thoughts and they are so much more ungrounded then they used to be. I can't focus and im always on Facebook. Constantly getting emotionally,mentally engaged with other peoples head spaces. Training myself to have no follow through with reality & a 2 second attention span. Yeah, no thanks. 2yrs too many. Fb delete!
I see this was posted 4 years ago. I just looked you up on Facebook and I see you have been dormant on there for a very long time. Just curious if you are still off social media and if so has your life remained improved because of it. Of course, you may not be on UA-cam either so you may never see this question.
Another way to keep up with the Joneses. Who really has time for it? The hours we've spent looking at lives that are not real and slanted political viewpoints that we don't agree with, conflicting religious viewpoints and feeling like we're missing something?!? Life is too short.
You're NOT a "nut"; believe me. I just wish FAKEbook didn't become as big as it did. MySpace was starting to get too time consuming; but, at least, it went south. Time for Facebook to do the same. The problem is, people use it TOO MUCH to keep in touch. It's like, they keep in touch via Facebook or they don't keep in touch. Yes, that's why I'm almost reluctant to delete my profile. I DID delete it 8 1/2 years ago; and, like a fool went back.
I just decided to quit. For most of the same reasons as you described. Its nothing but a popularity contest, with a persons worth or lack of derived from the number of friends likes and comments.
I agree with everything you've said. I've made the same evaluation. We tell too much, we know too much, the worst sides, I get sick of them, they're prob sick of me, we post too much and it's annoying.
You are not crazy. Just crazy smart and have a very balanced point of view. Like you, I uninsalled Facebook on my smartphone but still have limited access to it for my business on my home pc only. Thanks for the great video.
I just deleted my Facebook App . I don't have the Icloud anymore cause of something I did with my phone . I''m already having withdrawls . This is hard for me . I'm stil trying to not have withdrawls and it;'s hard
I get that for most this may apply people do meany of the things you describe in real life its just an extension of more of the same on fb For me personally I don’t relate to comparing with others feeling bad etc i like my life & I like seeing what others are doing keeping up with their lives it gives me opportunity to express appreciation & admiration for others, as far as me expressing my personal views I have a separate account for that I agree with your perspective on that being inappropriate for friends & family I like your interviews see they are a few yrs old sad your not doing them now 😭
Sunday May 7th, 2023 I joined FB back in August 2018. FOR ME........... I don't post about my own life, I post events that happened years ago goi'n back to the year 1000. For my FB profile picture/cover photo, I use anything that is "ABOUT ME". Sometimes I use pictures of me for my profile picture.
I quit mine for awhile just got back on about 3 weeks now same crap classmates I am done none don't need to contact me and the flith on it the FCC needs to ban the entire site.
What is there life isn't your life. people is only there to show you how life can be better if you move forward and go after what you want. People are not going to stop reaching their greatest limits or their greatness there's so much out there for all of us. Some of you only focus on the negative and why others are doing better than you. I think some of you just envious of how greater their lives have become.
What's the consequences going to be if you are being dishonest about yourself on Facebook ? or your being too exaggerated about what you post in there about what's happening with your private life.
I deleted Fb about a month ago . after about 2 weeks I noticed my stress was cut in half and I have been way more happy.
facebook Is a game of who's life is better,fake news and just plain negative. those past friends are just that -past friends
yes I stopped using Facebook and I feel a lot better
Past fake friends.

Yes I just shared this w my sister. She's on Facebook all the time even when we are supposed to be hanging out. I look over and she's looking into her phone. For hours. I've disconnected 4yrs ago now and my awareness is increased for the better and I'm a better person bc I'm truly involved and engaging conversation and spending time together.

Same
Facts big facts u just say
Every day I think about deactivating facebook. I don't have many friends on it and people I used to be good friends with just aren't the same anymore. I doubt anyone would notice me quitting it. I hate how people just don't talk anymore. Ever since smart phones and facebook the world has changed for the worse in my opinion. I just hate this decade because of it and I find it hard to adapt to it.
Right, they claim to be friends, but they are not...
Thats the thing. All these friends but few have any desire to interact with you yet you'd feel rude in deleting them. Its like being invited to a party where noone wants to talk to you.
Facts I hate all social media’s platform an smartphones
Winged Water Warrior not on social media’s platform
taniwha hunter NZ facts
Great video man I been feeling the same way about social media. It's a place of false realities and comparison games.
You said it best....false realities and comparison games. I couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching, more cool stuff comin soon!
Love this! Can I borrow it?
No I did not stop because It's the only outlet to get started in my career because I don't have money to travel and get around to make money so social media and youtube helps with that and gives me so many resources.
live EZ you just weak why u on this video u addicted social media losser
I also quit Fakebook a long time ago and I also got rid off my mobile phone 2 1/2 years ago. I like privacy, I like peace of mind and I like REAL LIFE & REAL INTERACTIONS.
Good to hear that some other people feel the same...')) Thanks for sharing and have good life.
... a good real life with a selected amount of technology.
I totally agree with you. FBcan also be a time sucker. I prefer genuine offline friendships much better.FB seems fake and artificial.
I quit FB just over a week ago to get away from the toxicity. I was turning in to a horrible argumentative jerk and became very depressed.
I kept messenger to keep in contact with those who I have regular contact with.
I use snap chat but only with a few close friends to be silly and send funny pictures. I use instagram for all the memes and funny viral videos and reading words of wisdom. I use reddit for the news and I love UA-cam because I love watching instructional videos, movie clips and other bits and pieces
After quitting FB a week or so ago I already feel the benefits. I'm happier, I have a better attention span and I feel like I can be more open to those who I speak with on a daily basis.
Im going to delete twitter very soon. I rarely go on it these days but i may as well if I find i rarely use it.
I quit facebook and my productivity has increased by 90 percent my life is more simple and I love the fact that im more private
Bianca Howard love this! I feel similar to you. I recently quit Facebook and have noticed a huge increase in productivity as well as relaxation. I picked up reading books again and it’s been an incredibly enjoyable experience. I hope you are well these days and enjoying being off FB :)
I deleted my Facebook accounts. There are many scammers and trolls on Facebook. I saw many uninteresting photos and information.
Im not using facebook ever again....i just deleted messenger and facebook app like 2 weeks ago and my stress and anxiety just dissapeared...
it opens you to a life of no privacy. I don't like it.
Me either I hate it period
The other problem with Facebook is that we are minding other people's business not our own. We are wasting our time and thoughts on them and not on ourselves. I need to be taken care of me. And most people on there don't care about you anyway. Get off it and see how many people will call you up and ask "Are you ok?"

Its like a parasitic energy leecher that will suck the best people emotionally dry.
Your not a crazy nut! You described exactly the way I feel and the reason why I quit Facebook. I feel like I escaped some weird cultish prison.
Wow that’s crazy show us right dere how bad an toxic an the craziness it do too our mindset it’s scary but alotta ppl are blind an addicted too wake up an see it’s really hurting there mindset an lives an social interaction best thang too do is get off it an get your mind an mindset an lives back before it’s too late..an pray for the ones that’s really deep off in it an addictive too that evil platforms .. an hope one day this social media’s platform will be gone an over with for good
Exactly similar reasons I deactivated my FB account a year ago. I'm particularly uncomfortable with the fact that sites like FB show just one side of life or rather an "image" of what one "wants" to have of themselves. I've been way more happier and have been way more focused with whatever I do ever since I deactivated FB.
Great video!
I deleted mine too.
I had it for 10 years
2017 resolution...quit facebook, instagram, twitter...I hate social
media. I only want to use youtube to find videos that support my
lifestyle and meetup to find groups that DO ACTUAL SHIT I like to DO IN
REAL LIFE.
Good choice.
My birthday present to myself this year, rid of FAKEbook. Take a wild guess how many birthday calls I got from my "friends and family"...give you a hint...starts with a z. Kept words w/"friends" I like to make words. I am happier as well.
That's a great video, man! I deleted my Facebook account less than a year ago and ever since then, I found that it was one of the best healthiest decisions I made in life. I agree that Facebook is a huge distraction, a waste of time, and it's addicting. And ever since I left Facebook, I have felt that I have more freedom and now I can communicate with my friends who matter to me more in real time than on social media.
I deleted my facebook Easter Sunday (April 1st) 2018 and 6 days in I feel extremely happy and only wish I done it a lot sooner.
Its hard sometimes for a major introvert like myself to be a big fb user. I get sick of people bragging how great their lives are. The the ones that fall in love and post daily reminders of their new found glory. Ughh shut up already and leave the cheesyness for a burger. I'm glad you found someone but now i get tohear about all the time.
I hate Fakebook, finally deleted it this week. Never going back again. I recommend everyone think about deleting it.
I felt a strong sense of liberation when I deleted Facebook as I got fed up with comparing myself with others, got tired of bread crumbing others and getting bread crumbed myself
I felt like I am getting my life back 👍👍👍
Year ago i quit facebook, and it's definitely best thing that i can do for myself.
It's 2018 now and all the dynamics you mentioned here have no changed one bit. I'm taking a few weeks away to get myself together so I can refine how I network and hopefully it turns out for the best.
I have facebook but i stopt posting things since april.
I just have it for events information, but i only open it once a week for 2 min.
Its a fake world full of mean people thats why i quit in april.
I dont use it any more on my mobile device i deleted messenger.
People you know will share their feeling with their FB friends more then your physical friend.
Completely agree Justin Stellman. Good for you.
Btw. This is the best UA-cam video I've seen on this topic. It's really FOMO and comparison living at its worst. Everyone has their own journey and it's unique. Facebook makes you feel anxious and negative. Too much drama, negative politics and comparisons. I believe it's ruining my life. I left.

Great information. I deleted my Facebook accounts 7months ago and I feel totally FREE from everything you mentioned in this video.
I deleted my FB account last night and I felt better today not starting my day scrolling through all the crap and stuff. I sat and drank my tea, looked outside, petted my cats and found I was much happier. Its gone for good and I'm glad i did it

Along with stopping our usage of social media we need to get people to stop watching "the news."
This is one that I really agree with you.
The way I see it if our childhood friends where meant to be in our future they wouldn't have lost contact with us!! Facebook is an illusion false reality with people on your friends claiming to be your friends yet don't spend time with them in real life!!

Has anyone wondered why we need so many apps that does the same thing?
I completely agree with you and I have deleted all my social media. I found it to have a positive impact on my mental health since deleting it.
i quit one week ago and am not looking back...
You summarised it pretty well.
I think what you said makes perfect sense. I deactivated my facebook account. I first stopped posting things to facebook, then I deleted the app and could only access it from chrome which because it was not so handy I ended using it less often and not posting anything, then finally I decided to just deactivated it all toghether.

Yes bro u r 100% right . Godbless
Sorry to hear about your friend, how was the funeral? Was the food any good? send pictures...
You are so right what I am getting at .you are great.
I want to quit Facebook and I'm making it a goal to only go on there maybe 1 or twice a week to schedule posts for my blog's Facebook Page. It's hard.
I enjoyed your video Justin thank you. Ive not been active on fb for 3 years or so & I dont miss it.
Right. I can't stand the bullying the most. I've never been bullied. I'm talking about people who share memes of other people making fun of them like a photo of a socially unattractive person. Everytime it's done by people who have no room to talk
hey man! I'm really glad that someone half way across the world feels the same way. Facebook here in Egypt is just crazy! People are just always on it and it so depressing and a waste of time. I tried to quit it and limit myself from going on it but now jobs are being posted on the site and i gave myself the excuse to get on it just to look for jobs, but instead i find myself again doing what i tried to avoid watch is comparing, looking useless information and all that crap. Anyways thanks man for the video
I completely agree with you. Especially the point about it sortof sets the stage for people to more easily hate each other....I am finally gettong off after 5 long yrs of being on it to much. Enough is enough....and it only made people think the worst of me, for the most part. Just gets sickening.....
excellent video i totally agree
This guy speaks the truth about Fb!
totally agree !
thank you !
I've been on Facebook for a while and after all this time, I've been thinking about gradually quitting. Some people say, "Well you're my favorite person to talk to. Why?"
(Favorite person? Ha!)
It's gotten to the point where getting "likes" turned into a source of validity for me! :(
After seeing a couple seated at a table next to mine and the guy doing nothing but scrolling on his phone, it was the last straw! I felt like it's just time for a change. So I'm going to try giving up using Facebook for a month to see what it's like.
This week I deleted my FB I was just tired of all the nonsense I saw on there, and I found that it took up so much of my time that it became an addiction for me. I love that you don't have a cell phone. I don't have a land line so I can't go back that far right now, but if I could trade my smart phone for a flip phone I would. Making a phone call is all I need to do. :)
Yes Agree .
kinda like the R.E.M Shiny Happy People. true friendships are based on people we visit an spend time with not through a screen!!
Thank you .nice meeting you.
Well said!!!
Yes sooo true it does have family members arguing to the point they want talk to each other friends falling out it can be a mess i deleted my Facebook like a year ago I’m so happy I did
Yes, we are over informed.
I rarely go on fb, yikes it's creepy.
Geat video. I totally agree
great video, Ive found facebook is a huge creator of narcisistic behaviour. some examples, in my town they have 3 tv weather woman, facebook has then constantly giving forth the image that they are always happy, are doing great financially, familywise, and career wise, they constantly show selfies and get off obn viewers saying "how beautiful you are", then they start having live facebook chats while they are doing a 30 minute newscast where they never stop smiling and talking about the great vacation they just went on or the new boat they just got or the awards thier kids just won, and one gal started having a contest where she asked viewers which of 2 dresses she should wear for the newscast...this is INSANE!, you are a weather lady not a freaking 6 time academy award winning movie star!, yet these ladies truely think they are celebritys and EVERYONE is interested in their lives.
jamesb7777a are you in Virginia. Had that exact thing happen here lol. Just crazy!
lisa, Im in mississippi, this crap is happening everywhere.
The broads at KCRG in Cedar Rapids, IA do the same thing, preening before broadcasts as if someone gives a flying fuck about their careers.
Recently deleted mine for the reasons you mentioned, amongst others too. Seen so much human filth on Facebook too. People laughing about animal and domestic abuse, thinking it's okay or telling those who are abused to "grow a pair" and such. Public posts on that site are plagued with horrible people, regardless of their beliefs as a person. Almost hit my 10 year milestone using Facebook and ending my use with it has freed me immensely.
Scripturally I was led never-ever to open any social media accounts. There was so much herd-mentality involved in the explosion with the likes of FB and Twitter accounts that it was a total turn off to me. I thank God for His leading as my understanding is that once such an account is opened the host site continues to hold, track and farm the account's originator. This even if the account originator closes the account the deletion is merely window dressing and the monitoring continues....SCARY!
yeah, good move.
Yo bruh was good witchu man love your vid man warm love bro u the man
Such wisdom.
I deleted my social media expect youtube. I realize that trying to compare your life to someone or trying to keep up making me super depressed.
I totally agree with what you’re saying we’re so connected to our devices we need to connect with real people.
yes i am getting ready to leave facebook because the distraction but i run a radio show that users part of facebook so im trying to find a a way re directing listeners
I know this video must be a little old, but it still stands true today. There’s too many people in our head everyday. It’s complete overload. I quit FB and don’t miss it at all. I mean, how many cute chihuahua dogs in little sweaters can you look at in one day????? As I said, I don’t miss it!!!
I got kick off because I added pages to my Facebook, They wanted proof of ID because they think I have multiple accounts. What does adding pages have to do with that. Why do they have an option to add a page then. Take that tool away. I'm quitting Facebook. But first I need to get back on to do it. Do you think I will ever be able to get back on? So far it has been about a week after I sent them my ID to prove who I was. Please respond back. Thanks
I feel you. I'm trying to recruit people with my job and the old fashioned ways are not working well. Then I heard somewhere that since the young generation is using media on much of their spare time, we need to meet them where's they are in order to reach them, all the while I suffer with distraction of everyone else's posts when I go and post each time. It's a sour game.
FACTS
I have been watching my thoughts and they are so much more ungrounded then they used to be. I can't focus and im always on Facebook. Constantly getting emotionally,mentally engaged with other peoples head spaces. Training myself to have no follow through with reality & a 2 second attention span. Yeah, no thanks. 2yrs too many. Fb delete!
same for me. I did speak to a school friend but after her daughter was married but thats it. FB hurts people.
When u get rid of Facebook, does
it delete ALL The posts you have
ever made in every group incl. all
The comments, likes, and all IMs?
Amen! Praise the Lord!
When i get banned from fb, to telling the truth, my ”friends” forget me imidiately!
Friends ha....are they really??
I see this was posted 4 years ago. I just looked you up on Facebook and I see you have been dormant on there for a very long time. Just curious if you are still off social media and if so has your life remained improved because of it. Of course, you may not be on UA-cam either so you may never see this question.
Another way to keep up with the Joneses. Who really has time for it? The hours we've spent looking at lives that are not real and slanted political viewpoints that we don't agree with, conflicting religious viewpoints and feeling like we're missing something?!? Life is too short.
Stop using Facebook is the best decision. No more stress, have all extra time, no depression, no more opinions from relatives.
Never had facebook and don't plan on getting. I agree with you 💯 percent 👍😎👏
You're NOT a "nut"; believe me. I just wish FAKEbook didn't become as big as it did. MySpace was starting to get too time consuming; but, at least, it went south. Time for Facebook to do the same. The problem is, people use it TOO MUCH to keep in touch. It's like, they keep in touch via Facebook or they don't keep in touch. Yes, that's why I'm almost reluctant to delete my profile. I DID delete it 8 1/2 years ago; and, like a fool went back.
Your not crazy I'm sick of Facebook
There is a chrome plugin that deletes all your posts. Same for twitter.
I support you man
I just decided to quit. For most of the same reasons as you described. Its nothing but a popularity contest, with a persons worth or lack of derived from the number of friends likes and comments.
I agree with everything you've said. I've made the same evaluation. We tell too much, we know too much, the worst sides, I get sick of them, they're prob sick of me, we post too much and it's annoying.
Hey we definitely have the same feelings my brother
You are not crazy. Just crazy smart and have a very balanced point of view. Like you, I uninsalled Facebook on my smartphone but still have limited access to it for my business on my home pc only. Thanks for the great video.
Joseph Saenz I did the same. I uninstalled it. Never felt better! Plan on checking it for messages every month or so for colleague messages.
Friends think I'm nuts. No Facebook and no cell phone (I've never owned one) and I love it. #freedom
I just deleted my Facebook App . I don't have the Icloud anymore cause of something I did with my phone . I''m already having withdrawls . This is hard for me . I'm stil trying to not have withdrawls and it;'s hard
I get that for most this may apply people do meany of the things you describe in real life its just an extension of more of the same on fb
For me personally I don’t relate to comparing with others feeling bad etc i like my life & I like seeing what others are doing keeping up with their lives it gives me opportunity to express appreciation & admiration for others,
as far as me expressing my personal views I have a separate account for that I agree with your perspective on that being inappropriate for friends & family
I like your interviews see they are a few yrs old sad your not doing them now 😭
facebook don't mean that much to me even though I still have an account and sometimes go on it
I quit
I just now deactivated my acct. I feel better already.
Sunday May 7th, 2023
I joined FB back in August 2018.
FOR ME...........
I don't post about my own life, I post events that happened years ago goi'n back to the year 1000. For my FB profile picture/cover photo, I use anything that is "ABOUT ME". Sometimes I use pictures of me for my profile picture.
I quit mine for awhile just got back on about 3 weeks now same crap classmates I am done none don't need to contact me and the flith on it the FCC needs to ban the entire site.
i feel ya mn
your not crazy your right we have lost all sense of privacy fb and social media is addictive as you say dont believe what you see or hear,
What is there life isn't your life. people is only there to show you how life can be better if you move forward and go after what you want. People are not going to stop reaching their greatest limits or their greatness there's so much out there for all of us. Some of you only focus on the negative and why others are doing better than you. I think some of you just envious of how greater their lives have become.
What's the consequences going to be if you are being dishonest about yourself on Facebook ? or your being too exaggerated about what you post in there about what's happening with your private life.
What about us who can't read
