It’s been 22 months since I left social media. I have no regrets at all. I got sick of people gossiping, drama, negativity & people faking their lives & friendships and sharing everything that should be private or craving attention with provocative pictures & selfies. A number of things I realised: 1. People who added me as “Friends” didn’t really care about me. They were “So called Friends” 2. When I was going through my hardest times, including anxiety, upset, trauma and stress, Nobody was REALLY there for me or reached out to me. 3. Certain posts or videos get blown out of proportion or completely taken out of context even if it’s nothing negative. 4. People lie about the amount of friends they REALLY have. Who in the REAL world has 100s or 1000s of friends WHO?? 5. Communication is very one sided. The same person had to make the first move to start a conversation as the other person doesn’t make an effort themselves or can’t be bothered. 6. People lie about their lives, they only show the positive side of theirs lives which doesn’t show the real truth about the person. You can’t tell and don’t see if someone is REALLY depressed, upset, isolated, lonely, feeling suicidal or what’s actually going on in their actual lives. Even if people post how they really feel, people don’t always care. 7. It makes people fake and insecure. 8. People compare themselves to others just to get more “likes” & comments. 9. Social media has increased loneliness, isolation. Anxiety and depression which can be severe. 10. Due to social media and the increase in technology, it’s causing destruction & destroying peoples lives in the sense of their is no sense of unity, community, love and nobody wants to help each other. If they see someone doing something constructive and productive and they’re doing well, people will laugh at them in an act of ignorance, and cannot wait for them to fall down. 11. Having a proper conversation or being real is considered not normal and people think it’s creepy. People don’t like having real conversations 12. It’s made people to be narcissists & self entitlement & ignorant, prejudice and bullies. 13. People can say things or make comments that are abusive, racist, sexist, ignorant, prejudice, misogynist, homophobia, xenophobia, discrimination openly online, rather than to your face. 14. I have seen Boys & Girls take provocative, selfies / pictures to get attention from so called friends / strangers, sometimes in a negative way, for example, woman having their chests hanging out, body image, men & women showing off muscles, six pack & more. 15. With social media & the young generation with regards to friendships, people feel that if they add someone as friend request and they accept it, they automatically think that’s “friends for life” people need to realise that’s not how friendship really works. I never had TikTok, Twitter or Instagram. Glad I didn’t sign up to any of them. Facebook was the only social media platform I had and it was recommended to me back when I was in my 20s. I only use KZbin as I can look at interesting things like cooking recipes and motivation videos and music videos of festivals & concerts and more fun stuff. I enjoy going out in nature, going for walks, bowling listening to music and learning new hobbies and watching movies. Since leaving it’s been the best decision of my life. I enjoy life more, I can now enjoy doing the things I do or want to try without being judged or told what to do without being made to feel guilty. I feel more happier and a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I think if social media disappeared forever, I can guarantee people will spend real quality time with friends and family. People will know who their real friends are and that they will do things together and have a good time doing it. I also feel that people will have proper conversations.

Hi milly I’ve recently started recovery and I love love love your videos on KZbin it’s helped me so much watching what you’ve learned through out recovery it’s truly inspirational and so are you I hope you don’t take this in any way other than that you deserve kindness and love even in the beginning in your recovery.. I watched your reaction videos and knowing how difficult it is to find some self mercy with ed especially it breaks my heart when the commentary you have for your past self is so critical because when I watch what you see when you watch your past video is pure strength and true recovery. You have come so far and aspire me to keep going and challenge myself I just truly feel genuine empathy towards your past and current self because you’ve accomplished so much growth and even have inspired me to try harder and you deserve praise from day one even on bad days or on the days you feel you didn’t eat enough food or not trying hard enough and talk down on yourself. You have come so far and without those days of baby steps you wouldn’t be able to appreciate your incredible process I just want to you to know I personally find every step of your recovery as strength every step of the way. I hope you hear me out and not misinterpret my intentions I really do appreciate your help your content you are an incredible person and I hope you are doing well happy and healthier every single day because you deserve it❤️‍🩹

I have drastically reduced my social media, it makes my head feel so cloudy, the world is so peaceful and quiet when you don’t take in so much information and opinions ⭐️💕

maybe you could call this the "i quit" series. where each episode is quitting something bad for a week - so "i quit social media, i quit coffee, i quit going to bed late", etc
