i quit instagram 3 months ago - reclaiming my accomplishments, energy, and privacy

[@mokilisto]

You are making sense in this video. I felt like this every time I was on Instagram. Like, why am I minding other people's business so much??? You can't even build yourself because you're so consumed by other people's achievements.

[@tessawrice]

no literally. minding everyone’s business while ignoring my own to live in the fabricated world of social media. it’s a boring and depleting existence after a while

[@lucian_73]

Good video. This morning I deleted ALL my social media and I feel good. I am 50 and I even had dang Snapchat which is 🤦🏾‍♂️. It’s crazy that many times today I was bored and I grabbed my phone just to look at my social media apps and oops, not there 😊😊😊

[@AnjKalma]

hi tessa, omg, u blog as well, i am now a reader of your blog ◡̈

[@tessawrice]

yes!! aw that makes me so happy!! i am working towards posting more on my blog now that i am getting ready to travel this summer :)

[@BEACHDUDE71]

[@bethennysluannmonologue]

Girl what about my journey? U don’t even know I got hit by a car 🤨😡

[@tessawrice]

NO PLS

I don’t like IG because it’s way too curated and I agree 100% with how unnatural it feels. I still post on my story tho. As a new creator I feel like I’m “supposed” to be posting on my actual grid but I just can’t do it.

[@tessawrice]

that’s what’s so hard about balancing social media as a tool for growth vs personal use and curating perfection. i think about returning to instagram bc it is a great tool but i don’t know if it’s worth getting sucked in. and i loveeee posting to the grid that’s like my fav part, but i get obsessed with aesthetics

[@alinabushma3143]

You are sos strong! I would never be able to do that

[@tessawrice]

it gets easier day by day 😌

[@christophsauer2857]

16:56 me too :)))) I am so happy to have deleted it, and after one week my thumb has learned :) thanks for sharing this. I experience the same

I just quitted not long ago ❤ this video is motivating me

[@radioclash84]

I somehow started watching this video after your canon camera video. I agree 100 percent. Instagram, the problem with it is that it is so damn overwhelming. Too much variety of emotions. I stayed away from it for few years but then went back last month i couldn't digest it. I am not completely off it. I use it, get overwhelmed and delete it. Now i think i will install it when i want to use it and delete it afterwards. Also i feel like if you can make an audience on KZbin i feel like that means more because someone makes that effort to pay attention and watch your creation. Sometimes Instagram has lot of you like me, i like you kind of thing going on 😂 new sub 👍

[@tessawrice]

hahaha glad it caught your attention! that’s such a great way to explain it, it becomes hard to digest once you’ve been off of it for some time. i def could get behind installing when i want to use it and deleting it when it gets too much but i think i get so caught up in wanting to be “perfect” online that i have a hard time deleting it once im on it. i always have some arbitrary mission on instagram and i never reach the end of it lol thank you for the sub!!
