    Your video on deleting social media unleashed a tidal wave of emotions I hadn't fully acknowledged. It's like you peeled back the layers of this digital facade, revealing the raw, vulnerable reality beneath.
    As I navigated the sea of "friends" and "followers," I couldn't help but question my worth in this virtual realm. The haunting silence of untouched messages echoed the loneliness that often goes unnoticed in the pursuit of online validation.
    Your exploration of why we fixate on others' lives hit hard. The constant comparison, the unrealistic standards , it's a recipe for self-disrespect. We unknowingly surrender our authenticity to an algorithm.
    Your call to permanently sever ties with these digital illusions is a game-changer. It's not just about deleting apps, it's a declaration of self-love, a commitment to break free from the relentless pursuit of someone else's version of happiness.
    Here's my guide inspired by your video:
    1. **Reflect on Your Intentions:** Why are you on social media? Is it for connection or comparison?
    2. **Digital Detox:** Take a break. Unplug. Rediscover life beyond the screen.
    3. **Cultivate Real Connections:** Nurture relationships that go beyond likes and comments.
    4. **Define Your Self-Worth:** You are more than the sum of your online interactions. Embrace your uniqueness.
    5. **Embrace Imperfection:** Real life isn't filtered. Allow yourself to be authentic and flawed.
    6. **Invest in Hobbies:** Rediscover passions that bring genuine joy, unrelated to online approval.
    Your video is not just a guide; it's a call to arms. It's time to shatter the illusions, reclaim our authenticity, and foster connections that go beyond pixels on a screen. 🤲

    "I can honestly do anything I want on this earth, especially when U don't have too document every second of it"....THAT has been the best thing about getting rid of my social media.

    Im definitely gonna start off 2024 without social media. Im a teenager who is constantly on my phone getting sucked into the vortex of “I’ll just look at one more video and then be done” and I catch myself scrolling for an hour and then I realize, aw I could’ve cleaned my room during that time. I feel like I complain so much about the fact that we use are phones too much or the fact that tiktok and instagram are so time consuming but it’s simply that we use them too much. I feel like by starting off the year without social media, I can heal more and learn more and just not be sucked into the trap of it all.

    I absolutely love this video! I deleted my social media about 2-3 years ago and it's definitely been a struggle but I've realized I'm so much better off. My conversations with people are more quality-filled, I go out and do things I never thought I would do or only saw other people doing and I've just had so much more time to myself and peace in my life. It's definitely hard when you feel like you're missing out but I'd rather deal with that pain than the pain I felt when I was on it!

    Not a single lie spoken anywhere in this video Jas. The best moments in my recent memory have all been ones where the phone is nothing but a map, or completely out of the picture. No social media, no work, nothing.
    A killer vid with an important message. Hope all is well.

    I recently deleted X and Instagram from my phone because they were the most toxic ones for me. I think it's been 3 weeks now and the more time passes I feel more peaceful without them. And I was able to do more things as you did, both with my work and my creations too and without feeling any pressure. Which is liberating.

    Love this video and perspective. I'm actually in my early 50s now but I had a Facebook account for a total of 6 1/2 years which I finally deleted for good a year and a half ago. I have no desire to go back for several reasons, some of which you touched on. Although there was some good, I came to the realization that it ultimately was not doing my mental health any good. It inevitably turns into a pissing match of sorts and you soon find out where you slot in with certain people too. Then there are the backstabbers, etc. etc..

    this year i deleted snapchat, tiktok, instagram, and all that because my weekly screen time in 23hours and i NEED to make a change now. im going to strat focusing on myself and the topic of fomo felt so personal, the amount of times ive sat and cried because ive missed an event or i havent gone somewhere because i was literally constantly being sick , i think its time for me to change and grow more. for me i think surrounding myself with the right people is feeling the need to be socially accepted and always having to be out there or doing something is overwhelming enough, but paired with downright mean and ungrateful people is awful. honestly this year is going to be a turning point for me mentally, physically and academically. thank you.

    I was never too active on social media anyways but I have been off completely for a week. I’m surprised by how much I don’t miss it. A big motivation for this is I felt like it was frying my attention span and brain. It felt like I was getting hacked by the app and I hated it. I may go back to a single app which is instagram but heavily restrict and limit it.

    Good work on this achievement. I’m a 39 year old male and I really feel for your generation as I grew up in the transition stage of internet, mobile phones, internet dating and social media.
    I noticed very quickly I’d often feel worse about myself after being on Facebook etc and other things like that. But it was easy for me to work out these things were making me feel worse, as I knew the world before Facebook, mobile phones, internet in your pocket etc. Your generation doesn’t know that world so I congratulate you on that, and I’d encourage you to do as many old school type of things to find who you really are and what works for you. Then if you want to add things back in, you can. But just see what old world things have to offer.
    Your age group and we still feel it at this age is very much following the crowd. It’s very hard to form a new you as you feel different, alone and left out but I’d really encourage you, stay true to who you want to be, just fit in a little at times to make it easier. Eventually everyone will compliment you once their wisdom has set in with age, this takes a while. People compliment me but it’s taken time to be true to myself and be a little different. It gets easier over time.

    I honestly think it's been so normalized to post about our every little moves. Don't get me wrong I love to post things on my social media accounts. But lately I've been feeling so overwhelmed. Two years ago I deleted my twitter account and never went back. Just recently I deleted my second Instagram account. At the moment I have no intention of reactivating it before it's officially deleted. Moments just after these two instances I felt a literal weigh lifted off of my shoulders. Facebook, Tiktok, and my main Instagram account do have a stronger hold on me. So I have been challenging myself to do a hobby everyday to keep my mind busy on something that doesn't revolve around a screen. I started getting back into reading. I have been consistently bullet journaling since February. I go for walks every night. I'll make research projects geared towards self growth. The goal is to be able to determine what appeals to me. and when I'm in the mood I'll even write some poetry.

    One thing we might discover in real life is that the "path" is an illusion that we look back on rather than choosing it beforehand. That's not to say that we never plan or wish for something but these things are and should be more flexible. Social media creates this illusion of people who did a specific thing a specific way and that can be so unhealthy for those watching and comparing themselves.
    Good luck and have fun in life :)

    I really like this video. Lately, I too have been on social media a lot (not even lately, like for the past year). The problem isn't really deleting it, but it's more so this weird mindset that I have. If I delete Instagram reels, I'll just watch YT Shorts. I can't eat without looking at my phone cuz it feels like it's "rewarding". Reading a book is like "studying" and not relaxing. Drawing or painting just feels "tedious". The only thing that feels "happy" and "rewarding" is watching Reels. I know this is obviously very wrong, but I don't know how to detox completely so my mindset isn't like this. Thanks a lot! Another thing was that I actually deleted social media during COVID (like accounts and everything) and it was so awesome cuz I went out a lot more, etc. But now being busy with school and it being cold outside, it feels gloomy.

    I did this for a month in nov 2022 entirely for my mental health. I ended up staying off social media entirely for about 5 months, and almost entirely until January this year. I now occasionally go on Facebook on my computer only, and mainly because my cycling club posts details of the next ride there or I think I might not be back much at all. I use twitter only for work purposes. I even deleted the UA-cam app on my phone as I realised I was watching shorts as a replacement to scroll. I read 80 books last year. I found out who my real friends were and ones that weren’t. I ultimately felt less lonely. Fomo all but disappeared (and incidentally has only started coming back with the recent Facebook accessing). I discovered running and went from zero running to a sub 25 minute 5k. I completed a year of therapy. It’s entirely changed me. I’d recommend everyone does this at some point.

    im 30 and I quit. the constant game of keeping up. social media ruined my mental and physical health. it ruined my relationships. it destroyed my time and my health. I don't even know what life is about and I had major meltdown between age 29-30 where I almost died because of depression and anxiety. omg its too much. life is just too much. get off the technology and get into real life. unfortunately its so lonely outside there is no one there. no one my age whats to talk or build relationships and when they do life is just BUSY. my choice vs. the expectations. I choose ME. I chose MY CHOICE. I choose MY LIFE. I don't give a fuck about what people are doing or saying. I want to life freely and vibrantly and abundantly. I'm gonig to save this vidoe and watch it again when I need to.
