5 SIGNS YOU SHOULD QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA

In this video, I break down 5 signs that are good indicators that you should delete or take a nice break from social media.
1- When you're bored, your go-to is social media
2- Living through others to distract yourself from reality
3- Feeling crappy once you get off, due to comparison
4- Getting anxious without it, FOMO when you are in a situation that you can't be on your phone.
5- Procrastinating important projects by distracting yourself on social media

I have deleted ALL my social media. The only accounts on my name are email, WhatsApp and KZbin. I feel better already. Now I have more time for reading, studying, the gym and if I do something I do it for me not to post it online. It feels weird but liberating. Also I recommend everyone the Netflix documentary the social dilemma. It’s what made me delete my accounts.

[@carlyburr]

I've heard SO much about that Netflix documentary, I'm going to make time to watch it hopefully in the next few weeks- looking forward to it! Also, thanks for sharing your experience, glad you're feeling better already, hope you continue to spend time in those things that matter!

[@user-xn2iu6yg9j]

There is a simple cure for social media, or screens in general. It is having a real experience in the real world. When I meet up with people. Take part in workshops and activities with other people - I put the toy in my bag and don't watch it during the whole time of activity. I don't miss the technology and false interactions through devices when I have the real thing.

Can't interact with anyone anymore nor go to any events due to the Democrat Lockdowns

[@clairemarie3987]

Thank you for sharing this video :)) I'm glad there is someone else who thinks the way that I do about social media. My wish is that everyone quits social media :)

[@carlyburr]

Claire Marie thanks for watching! I’m glad you can relate or agree with some things I mention. 🙂 I think if more people left social it would make a definite impact on a lot of lives for the better for sure! Thanks for your comment, I love hearing from you. 💛

[@lmusima3275]

Yes I always anxious and distracted and feeling the need for validation

[@whakabuti]

You may have a few subscribers (and I understand audience size isn’t your pursuit) but your content is really helpful for people who have fomo/depression from social media.

[@carlyburr]

You're most definitely correct, audience size isn't my pursuit. And I'm so happy to hear it's helpful for you. That's the goal!

Disabled mine but someone logged in from the East Cost so i had to get back on it to change my password.. They hold you hostage by only allowing 1 deactivation per week.

[@Crystal_D]

I think you can keep it deactivated for as long as you’d like.

[@jsdm5007]

@@Crystal_D but if you deactivate it and then log back into it you have to wait a week to do it again

[@Crystal_D]

@@jsdm5007 I know. I was so mad when I had to wait a week. Never making that mistake again.

Great video, I needed to hear this

[@leeleeonthemove]

You hit the head on the nail with me…comparing and not feeling like I’m growing. It’s time for me to ✌🏾✌🏾 with social media. I’m keeping YT as it’s been instrumental in me healing and learning. Yeap. Thanks!

[@Chris-iq5pr]

Very well said. Thank you this should be the only video that exists on this topic

[@azure3910]

Thank you for this, I’m considering deactivating my accounts for a while to achieve better stuff, and I think it would be better for my mental health anyway.

[@LaurenVHamill]

Living through other people... I've been doing that, watching vlogs galore. Thank you for this video. I've been doing well with my break from instagram and facebook, but KZbin has taken the place of them.

[@Aura000]

Yesss! Great video and can totally relate :) you are spreading an awesome message ❤️

Hey Adrianna, glad this video was helpful for you! Wishing you the best.

[@Dr18wz]

Its weird that Ive just come across your channel in a period of time that I've migrated away from social media and only text/call my closest friends through iMessage and Facetime. Also I'm battling a few mental health issues derived from me spending too much time doing the wrong things on the internet/social media. I deleted Insta twitter and snapchat and I plan on never looking back. I love your content its made me feel like I'm not going into a some lonely cocoon away from society 🤣 and that theres much more to life. Keep it up!

[@dajourphil0soph3r36]

Wow, was talking about this before COVID happened and that's legendary.

[@AnoNym-ip6jt]

Why do you have so little following??? Like, you make the best videos EVER and everyone should watch them 😭♥️ you’re the reason i quit my social media TODAY

[@carlyburr]

Thank you! That’s so nice. 🤗 I’m so glad you enjoy my videos, I wish more people would see them- hopefully overtime they will but even the few people that do see them, if it helps a few people that brings me so much joy. 🙂 Wahoo! That makes me so happy to hear- I think it’ll have a positive impact on you, you’ll have to keep me posted I’d love to hear how things change for you without it! 🙌🏽 you’ve got this girl!

Great video! It was really informative and I have to admit, I have some of those signs. I've been in and out of instagram and now that I have started my own business in corporate training and anchoring events it feels like a good medium for publicity but it doesn't seem to be working. And I get frustrated and addicted to investigating as some of my close friends unfollow me and my posts are not offensive at all. It is frustrating and it gets to me. If you were in my place would you just quit insta or do something else?

[@carlyburr]

Thanks Yohann! Glad you found this video to be informative. Honestly I don't know the entirety of your situation or your business to know what would be best for you. But If it were me, I think that your wellbeing is #1 top priority. The business won't succeed unless you're in a healthy mindset and in a good place to perform at your best so if Instagram is taking away from that, i wouldn't waste my time. There's probably other ways to go about building your business, i would get creative and experiment with other things! Wishing you the best of luck with your business and life! Keep me posted.

[@yohannsantos4142]

@@carlyburr the minute I joined I was sucked into it. You're right it does affect my state of mind. I guess I just kept on believing that this was the only option- I mean EVERYBODY is on it, so it's the most obvious way to increase you're popularity. I guess I needed to hear it from someone, in this case read it😅. It's just frustrating, it eats you up slowly, questions and options and people's opinions keep on buzzing around your head, convincing you not to leave but they are not me. Thank you for replying Carly. I really appreciate your help specially from a youtuber like you. Continue the help you give and guide people with. And yes I will keep you informed with what I go through.❤️☺️🤘
