Overstimulation Is Ruining Your Life (Delete Your Social Media)

“We’re overstimulating ourselves to distract ourselves because we don’t wanna face what we have to do.” 🔥🔥

Wonderful video and message! Once you step away from the devices and overstimulation, you will then realize how much life there is to be lived! Peace

[@masteringpsychologynow]

There's so much life to be lived. It's like we forgot how great life used to be without this stuff!!!

It’s been 2 years 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” just to increase their friends list. 2. When people were going through their hardest times of anxiety, trauma and upset, I went out of my way & made an effort by helping & supporting them. But when I was going through my hardest times, including anxiety, trauma and stress. The people who I helped & supported never reached out to me to help or supported me even when I struggled. Everything has become one sided. 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 just 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 or not interested. 7. It makes people fake and insecure. It’s not just school kids or teenagers in schools, colleges, universities or workplaces doing it, but adults as well are also being fake & insecure, especially managers. 8. People compare themselves to others just to get loads of “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 in a community or society, people will laugh at them in an act of ignorance, and cannot wait for them to fall down. Social media is dividing people, not bringing people together. 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 boobs / 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, or meet someone & they click with them they automatically think that’s “friends for life” people need to realise that’s not how friendship REALLY works. Friendships are & should always be a 2-way street. Real friendships would make the effort to support & be there for each other through the good times, fun times, hard times, sad times, upsetting times & more. Communication & making an effort should be equal on both sides. Not the same person who always makes first contact. The other person should also make an effort too. We need to ALL learn the skill set of when we suffer from stress, anxiety, trauma, facing problems & more, that we should reach out to our friends or professionals for help & support, NOT social media. 16. Our young generation has grown up addicted. They have been addicted to mobile phones, alcohol, drugs, social media & more at a young age It’s very sad. 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 teens. 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 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 and listen and engage. I do feel sorry for our young generation. The young generation is lost. There is so much talent and ideas in young people and they need to show that in a positive & constructive way. We can make change for the future. The young generation needs real positive role models to look up to, for them to succeed in life & beyond.

Powerful in depth breakdown. It is definitely as you said!

[@GregtheGrey6969]

I've had the same exact experience.

Nice breakdown...couldn't have said it better myself.

i just came across your channel and you’re one the wisest men on this app, i appreciate your wisdom 🙏🏽.

I’m so fortunate that I learned to be alone life is amazing I’m focusing building my life up rn. If the right person comes they will

[@masteringpsychologynow]

When you do it that way you can be an asset for others rather than a liability!

You right, deactivating my Facebook. In stead I will read a book or write a book.

I agree with you 100% quality of life was better 10/20 years ago. I miss 90s lifestyle.

You really don’t miss on a video. 🙏🏿

[@Wooptyfregendoo]

Right!!

[@Astral_Dusk]

Same here with growing up in the 80s and 90s, the world WAS more active, raw, and real. Not so digitally distracted. It's not just nostalgia, there really was a digital revolution that changed us into a species detached from our nature much further than ever in history - a rapid succession of information overload. Complex situation now, the early internet had more relished social communication through email and chat when most of the social connection was still in-person. Share the glorious in-person online, but now it's the opposite and that reveals a deep neglect of the complete experience of our social needs. Yes there are legit cases of autism and social anxiety but now most of the post-smartphone post-socialmedia society also shares many similar aspects and there are likely many cases directly attributed to the internet and actually not genetics as hard is that can be to believe. One born into this modern technology will likely relate to what used to only be more genetically predisposed communication challenges. Technologically predisposed now.

[@BIGB347]

man, you spoke so much truth that i said to people about social media and taking time off to understand stuff/get your life back etc. i been off social media for almost 1 year closing on 3/21/2024. it's been a game changer for me. i have more time to do stuff that i couldn't do due to social media usage. i'm living in the moment offline not so much on my phone as i used to be/ i turned off all notifications beside weather/message/call/bank. changed the main screen to call/message with all other apps on the library section on the iphone. focused on goals, diy projects, heath, being with friends/family etc. i use youtube to learn. i never thought i would get off of SM but i eventually overcame it and 7 months clean on seed retention. i been improving my overall life quality by being off social media. my parents said the phone works many ways call/message/video chat. you said everything i would say to people in this video it spoken to me well. im from the early 90s era. i remember life was simple back then it is now currently.

We forgot how to live in the real world. And if you don't live in the real world how could you "be real." if your only world is cyber then by default you're not authentic (at your core). That which was meant to help became a hindrance due to overconsumption.
