No proublem❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@nobody_o7o]

I completely stopped using social media for more than 3 months. I experienced a decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression...

[@noahtherockstar]

so glad to hear this, stay up my friend 😤

[@wazjoony]

best of luck in the days ahead, that's a great start

[@GameStop-li5hp]

but youtube? is KZbin social media?

[@MentaLhea-ey8cw]

​@@noahtherockstar isn't youtube a social media ?

[@henryzhou8981]

‘what can you change right now that will put you one step closer to the place you want to be’ , needed this one Noah, thank you, banger as always !

[@noahtherockstar]

thanks henry appreciate it, stay up out there 😤

[@lizziedeerest]

loved this video. I’m trying to stay off my phone, but still hooked on KZbin consumption. I already feel my mind being a little clearer, and some motivation to do other (real) things is coming back

[@noahtherockstar]

thanks lizzie appreciate the support

[@gage.does.everything]

Man, this came up in my recommendations so i watched it and i was SHOCKED at how small your channel is for the quality of content you're pumping out. Stay at it, you're going places!

[@noahtherockstar]

thank you this means the world to me

[@sdfjkhnkjsdfkjsdfjk]

Genuinely inspired from this, keep putting out the awesome content and best of luck with this channel!!!

[@noahtherockstar]

this means the world to me, all luv

[@devanshujagtap1802]

You really inspired me bro , Whenever I feel low I watch your productivity video

[@noahtherockstar]

appreciate the words my man, more to come 😤

[@cheesi4632]

incredible video, the part about giving into your vices hit home for me. i need to make a short film for college application portfolios, and every time i think about what im going to do, i get uncomfortable, nervous, all those feelings, and i end up doing something that makes me more confortable (like gaming). i have to start making more steps in the right direction that will get me to the place i want to be. thank you Noah for this video

[@noahtherockstar]

I get you it's a totally natural feeling -- but get uncomfortable, it's the best thing you can do for yourself !!

[@khushiwiz]

i absolutely adore ur channel thank u for making these videos pls keep making more

[@noahtherockstar]

more on the way, appreciate you

[@idonthaveanythingtosay]

beautifully said my friend. words of wisdom. i myself have been off of social media for a good while now and can second everything you shared. keep doing your shit and speaking from the heart man you’ll make it ♡

[@noahtherockstar]

thank you for the words means a lot

[@jb_2000]

I just stumbled upon your channel and really appreciate videos like this!! Definitely subscribed.

[@noahtherockstar]

welcome aboard :)

[@Yittos]

Noah, you really do have a unique mindset that sets you apart! In a good way of course. Your constant introspection, matched with your philisophical deep thinking, are both great tools for you becoming the best version of yourself. I also love seeing how far you have come! I know the days of Foxation are long behind you, but dude it is just so great seeing you evolve over these years and realize so many things that many people at your age aren't focused on. I'm going off to my first year of college in the fall, I'd be lying to you and myself if I said I wasn't a little nervous. Rest assured, I want you to know you have been a huge role model for me over the past couple years. Great video as always! Always looking forwards to the next. Edit: Oh and by the way, it doesn't matter if you post on Foxation or this channel or whatever for that matter. I'll always watch you bro, because I always know you have something meaningful to say.

[@noahtherockstar]

hey noah, thanks for this comment. it makes me so happy to see fans from my foxation channel evolve and grow with me and it motivates me so much to make these videos. good luck on your college journey, dude it's gonna be so fun. college was the funnest years of my life (so far) and it goes by reallllly fast. make sure you enjoy it PS once this channel blows up i'm bringing back the foxation channel for gaming & streaming... :P

thank you!! means the world

[@notmeowth]

this video is fairly relatable. i wanna go outside more but theres not really anything interesting to do here other then walking around. fortunately it is storm season right now so i can go outside and do a little amateur storm chasing, unfortunately i fell with my bike and broke my collarbone and so i couldnt do anything for the past 2 and a half weeks. i was pretty happy to see my first shelf cloud 3 days before my incident tho :D also when it comes to social media, i have only used youtube and sadly a bit of twitter, mostly for google maps or weather stuff. luckily ive never had anyone say that i was weird or odd for not having social media like instagram or tiktok. its also sad to see my family getting addicted to their phones too, especially my sister, who has tiktok, snapchat, instagram and lacks a considerable amount of useful general knowledge. sometimes i just wanna go out for a trip or vacation or something to the woods or some other interesting places without any electronic stuff (though maybe a phone is useful for navigating, information, etc) and just go around and explore cool places but as i have said before, currently that isnt possible, also because i fell right when my test week started so i have to redo all my tests now and also combined with that is that i still live with my parents and with not enough travel experience great video

[@noahtherockstar]

damn meowth so sorry to hear about your collarbone that must be so tough.. glad to hear you're off socials and want to get out, that shelf cloud probably was crazy. keep staying up once you move out or go to college the freedom is realllllly nice

Really loved what you said. Your speech is goated as always, I honestly haven’t seen any such KZbinrs talk about such real stuff, really glad you’re expressing your thoughts to us and guiding us as well through these videos, these vids will stay as a cherishable memory when we and you get older. Hope you are doing really well and I wish you the best as always.

thank you bro this means the world, we gonna keep grinding and get out solid content for y'all :P i'm doing hella good man enjoying life and working hard, hope it's the same over there for you

Your not lying brothha I only have KZbin now . All my social media is gone except this app. Probably the best decision I made in my live ‼️

[@noahtherockstar]

glad to hear this bro keep improving 😤

[@TERRELL_GASKINS]

Im going to do the same from now to 2027 back in 2019 when I was in high school I always thought I could be one of the people who had it easy in life with no actual problems because I had friends and a girlfriend but all that changed when I was cheated on ghosted by friends after graduation & lost 3 family members all in one summer while still being a virgin and still am I even was shot at by gang members in 2021 and guns pointed on me by cops the same night just walking home from the store and I still kept that optimistic naive side of myself until 3 months ago where I tried getting with a woman again after 4 years thinking I'd finally lose my v card she rejected me 2 days ago was my birthday im 23 now and I just sat in my room thinking about everything I've really been through in life truly understanding that I've been through alot & life didn't go the way I planned so I decided to disappear deleted all my social media's and nonsense out my life and enter the cave N re invente myself for the next 2 to 3 years and return as a not just a monster but a serious man

[@meurte3323]

Yo Noah how u been Mann?! Sick vid brah, you gonna ever update on foxation?

[@noahtherockstar]

yo my guy I been hella good how bout you?? I was thinking about updating foxation this summer but it would really only be one video since I wanna put all my energy into this channel. but mark my words foxation will return -- I definitely want to have a gaming channel as my second channel one day in the future when we are bigger

[@Amy-kc6ks]

Hey pls reply! I badly want to disconnect and delete my social medias. Infact i have done multiple times but again i come back thinking that i might be missing out on something or i might be losing people. I feel like i will end up alone and unrecognised that’s the thought that’s holding me back. I really want to delete my social media accounts. I’ve been so addicted. Please tell how can i let go of that fear

[@noahtherockstar]

hey amy I feel you! you gotta realize you're not missing out on anything and if those people are truly there for you, you won't need social media to keep in touch. and even if you lose contact with some people, life moves on and you realize you actually didn't need them. focus on yourself ! :)

[@agungprasetya9438]

i failed to deleted social media like instagram. its so confusing and i felt lonely when i deleted instagram.

[@noahtherockstar]

I totally get it, that's normal. just remember *why* you're doing it and stay strong 😤

[@fawziah653]

It's almost 4 or 5 months I'm not using social media but badly addicted to KZbin :(

[@noahtherockstar]

I feel you I lowkey am too, but I think it's already better than regular social media since I tend to learn and get inspired on youtube -- but yeah, i've been using a chrome website blocker and I blocked youtube in order for me to stay focused on work

[@Marlon_Bravo]

Just genuinely wondering how to keep friends without social media in today's society...

[@Gotejjeken]

KZbin is social media, but oftentimes it's igonred because people want to make money off it. Basically by making vlogs its still profiting from someones addiction via views and comments

[@noahtherockstar]

i hear you, but it all depends on the creator. my vlogs are meant to inspire change in others instead of glamorizing my own life for validation

[@jdstory4u600]

Is youtube a socmedia?

[@yashwanthkumar5722]

Not really but getting addicted to the shorts is again being in the trap..need to use KZbin for urself

[@randomusername3873]

"3 years without social media" Regularly updates videos on KZbin I don't think It means what you think It means

[@souhi1027]

my life started when i quite social media and i grow in real social life! cause i focused on my problem and i really solve them! it was the point my life changed! i wanna reduce lots of content of youtube too!
