I deleted social media last year of December 2019 when I felt my anxiety rising again. It was taking a toll on my relationship and on my anxiety. Every post I saw made me overthink my relationship, who I am as a person. After not using it for awhile, has made me happier. So trust me, when you delete social media, it makes life easier on yourself & you tend to forget that there was such thing as “comparing yourself to others” & “competition”

This is true. For most people it's hard to live the life you actually want, so you just take a nice picture and try to be satisfied with that. Instagram is a good place for sharing the highlight of your days but inevitably it tends to become a competition for validation and the lack of it could make you feel less valuable as a person. She tried to pose for her friends/family via social media, maybe to regain a sense of self-worth and normalcy, in the end she knew she was only lying to herself and creating an unhealthy obsession, it wasn't enough to take pictures of her life anymore, instead she wanted to actually live it. It's hard, but not impossible.

I think the healthiest way to use social media is to keep in contact with people we have real relationships with when they are not close by at the moment. To share and learn new skills, attain info. etc. Everything else should be done in person, live your real life.

[@ProudSalafi]

I only had Facebook account and that was only to follow Quran and hadith channels and specially Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem but then I noticed how easy it was to cross the line of haram interactions with other gender. So many sisters would send message, even married ones and I got tired of ignoring the messages and felt guilty so Al hamdulillah I deactivated my Facebook as well. I will permanently delete it once I move to the country I wanna settle in cause I will need Facebook to send my friends my Whatsapp to stay in contact. Even had to leave a very close friend from Denmark but we still talk because we play an online game on weekends together xD. I am really so much happy and satisfied with my life Al hamdulillah after deleting the only social media I had. Social media makes prohibited things so much easier. Brothers and sisters are looking for a spouse over Facebook or Instagram just cause that person posts Quran and Hadith they think that person is a good human being without even knowing who that person is.

[@DarkRubberDucky]

Hell, I'm actually way more social because of them. If I didn't have Facebook, I would never talk to anyone I used to know. I'm an introvert and depressed, so I never want to go out or talk to friends on a whim. So, when they plan stuff, I see ahead of time, and can decide to actually go if I wanted to. Or, I can chat with them, without actually having to talk. Hell, I met up with a friend I only ever saw when she shopped at the place I worked. We had ice cream and talked about gaming. I 100% would not have done that without being able to message her on Facebook, because phones are so much more personal. So, for at least this introvert/recluse, I get to communicate without the interaction I'm uncomfortable with. Once I get out there, I feel more into it.

There's no such thing as a natural photo anymore. The food, the sneakers, the nights out...it really resonates, how everyone tries so hard to make their account - their life - look amazing and vibrant, when in reality you can't really tell one average Instagram account from another. It's all fitness, brightly colored health foods, work, pets and parties. It's like virtual carbon copies, and the sad truth is - as portrayed in this film - most of it is done to portray a certain kind of lifestyle. Those little hearts are the new drug.

I have those two just because few friends and people that Im in touch from other countries. So I dont need to take any control over my life about that, I already got it. I will never understand people who post pictures just to get likes from people they dont even know, from people who dont even care about them. Later when they go out people are telling them "You look so different on social media" and "You look prettier on Instagram" their answer is "nothing" and they start to slowly die inside.

You dont need people's approval of "okay she has a social life"... What is the point? You see posts of people having" fun" and you feel obliged to post something as well. It is depression, social media is a pest. It's completely alright to spend most of your time at home, you don't have to post everyday about how much fun your life is.

I have a little different take on this. I use social media and I never thought about faking my 'perfect life' or comparing myself with others. I post my unfiltered life. I do follow many accounts and they have really improved my life, made me aware about simple living, low waste living, mental and emotional health, nutrition etc. I also made some very good friends on internet. I strongly believe that technology is curse as well as boon, use it consciously.

I just love being able to make friends and talk to people from all across the world and share pictures of my hobbies like arts and fish. Social media is a great connecting tool. You just can't let it control your life

I post something similar to this. My version is with truth sharing and conspiracy videos and memes. Thinking I can save the world through social media.

[@Wy0tt006]

That's what I'm saying! I was seeing all the comments of people saying "social media ruined me" "I miss when social media didn't exist". Most cases people are as obsessed with social media as its made out to be and it's more of a gift than a curse. Connecting you with people all over the world you wouldnt have been able to meet otherwise, information about modern topics (make sure to check multiple sources and do your own research ofc), be in touch with others.

Social media is just a trigger, the issues lie somewhere deep within all of us. People use Smoking, Drugs, Porn, Gambling as well as social media as coping mechanisms for the issues they have in their lives. I think it's about time we all realise this and start looking within. Social media like any other discovery has its pros and cons, but we are the dictators of our choices.

Social media can be such a powerful tool when used appropriately. Many individuals and businesses have benefited from proper use of social media.

She is so popular, yet nobody is there to company her. And then the putting on the make up, and the "date night" jesus. That was spooky!

Nowadays it's important to understand that whatever we usually see in social media platforms are not real. Noone's going to post their real conditions or post their real look's photos over there. Actually, there is a competition in every social media platform on whose photos are happier than others! It's simply crazy to be addicted to this trap! There are lot of productive things which can bring tremendous results in our lives instead of posting status and pics 24/7 & checking people's reaction to it. This short film is the true story of every social media addict who hardly can live without having a glance over others' lives. It's high time for us to be realistic before it makes us emerged in unending darkness.

I love this short film. For all its layers and truths. If someone can sell you something, addictive and consumable, they will. The internet has the same affect as any addictive substance on our brains. The more we learn about this, the more we can defend ourselves from the dark side and predatory nature of business on the internet consumer. I love the message of hope, self awareness, and healing that it sends at the end.

I’ve never had social media and it’s been bittersweet. While I don’t need to worry about unrealistic expectations or negativity and comparing myself and while I’m incredibly happy and content without, it was really difficult to stay as connected when I was younger. All my friends would message and talk over Instagram and message on snapchat. I remember wanting to join at one point purely to be more connected but I couldn’t because it felt like I was too far behind and my silly anxieties about it stopped me. I still don’t have social media, other than a KZbin- if that counts. It’s a double edged sword in my opinion.
