i do wonder in a few decades, when us gen z's (and gen alphas) grow old, how many of us will look back at our lives and regret how much of our life we spent on screens.

[@typicallytalya]

We will, I’m 21 and had matured within less than a year ago with disciplined social media detox it had opened my eyes fully yet I don’t have social friends and nor a job even I’ve strived for one many times same results and so it gets lonely and draining as if I’m wasting time not having those needs for some while😢

[@june-pl9bs]

Oh that's scary Imma start asap to just stop 😂!!

[@novi_haz]

social media addiction ruined me. i used to draw and i am so full of ideas, but now i cannot even pick up or sketch because it felt so dull and it wasn't the same, i used to draw with passion but now it seemed like i forgot to.

[@Nadenneantenne]

Im a 34 old psychologist and your age made me literally speechless. I just discovered your channel and im binge watching your vids. They are really helpful. Keep going!

[@YasinAlMohanak]

Hi. I actually thought he was 16 or something. I think it is because I'm just 14 that I think people are the same age. Ofcourse I've known hiw old he is fir a while now but still.

[@DeusZeus-nm9rg]

Yeah this guy actually has a gift fr

[@adeleisnamedafterme]

This is an eye opener. I’ve been on summer vacation for only 4 days and I’ve literally just been switching from my phone, to my computer, to my tv. Today I tried going outside but I got bored after 2 seconds and I went inside and got back on my phone. After I got bored of scrolling a few hours, I decided to try sewing as I used to be really into it. I got bored of that after like 5 minutes and went on my computer 😭 there’s something seriously wrong with me. I’ll be starting this dopamine detox tomorrow!

[@nraexox2599]

Best of luck! And start slow, maybe one day with no computer, next few days no tv, or maybe for certain periods of the day, that worked best for me, that and getting busy

[@D3athiscertain]

Im turning 23 soon and I ended up quitting my job a couple months ago due to a robbery that happened there😅 I am now looking for a job I’ll at least not be miserable at but most of the time I’m just being lazy and super addicted to screens, eating junk, and feeling bad about myself. I need out of this rut so bad💔

[@CooldownCentral]

good stuff man. i've been aware of this / doing this since mid 2021. its genuinely a gamechanger when you put the responsibility on yourself and recognize that nobody is coming to help you. for people in the comments, this isnt a few day change, this isn't something that comes and goes, this is a lifestyle. choosing to pursue your interests, give your actions intentions and meaning, and living in your best interests can and should be something you do forever.

[@nabouthiam7184]

Detoxing is tricky when social media is apart of my career. It’s possible but it takes a lot of discipline… but you’re an amazing motivator so thank you for pushing towards this much much muchhh needed detox !

[@animeghost4049]

Hey bro, greetings from Italy. I'm trying to become a more productive person, and your videos are really helping. This in particular shows how BAD is actually short content like reels and tiktok. Keep going and never change! ✊👐

[@Shrimpwimp4]

The timing of this video is crazy, confirmation for sure🙌🏾

[@ruthless3277]

[@Sarahdiariess]

super good video ! and yeah i'm addicted to my phone and all the signs you said in the video resonate with me thank you so much for sharing this idea of dopamine detox beacause it's about time i'm searching about it thank you so much man !

[@Vengeance4205]

Thanks bro because of you I have drastically reduced my screen time for entertainment but i still have an average screen time of 6 hours because most of my work is done on my ipad like editing and stuff , is it okay or should i just reduce my screen time to zero ?

[@abrahamsapperceptions]

dont worry too much about screen time bro. i only mentioned screen time to give a perspective. i absolutely understand that some people will have high screen time because of their work. myself included.

[@playboitoad1857]

I needed this man, I’m going thru a lot atm & shi is draining me. I recently deleted all my socials cuz it made everything worse for me. But Ik god by my side tho🙏

[@elliestone3349]

As a Teenager, I have been really struggling recently mentally and I also thought something was wrong with me but seeing this video I felt a massive weight off my chest knowing other people felt the same. Thank you so much.❤

[@theabrahamdiop]

Youre very welcome

[@sufiyashah4694]

Im not a teenager im 24. Good content always! Iove your acc

[@user-ij9ed6eu1s]

Why do people struggle to see that technology and social media, though neutral, are powerful tools that can either help or harm us? In this 21st century, we see an epidemic of information overload, memory loss, constant distraction, and growing dependency. These issues come not from the technology itself but from our unrestrained and unconscious use of it. We must choose wisely: to use these tools to enlighten and empower us, or to let them lead us into a maze of losing our deepfocus and attention we sometimes forget what matter to us in the moment. The choice is ours, to use technology with intention and purpose, or to be consumed by its vastness.

[@typicallytalya]

Luckily mines over time is at least 1-5 hours within a week just with KZbin only cause I would watch it on my tv instead but somehow I’m always in my room sitting down even after doing errands and chores cause I have no social friends etc 😕

[@ojkjunior]

This video just confirmed my decision to quit Instagram for a while!

[@fiveminnow]

I did, and it’s been a game changer.

[@l3ON222]

If u can’t do it for 30 days just go to jail n don’t get bonded out

[@crazy-paint1]

You doing God's work💙🦾🎯💢🎁

[@dejaandrews9100]

I’m trying to do better I’m 22. I’ve spent the last 10-12 years on my phone. I feel like i didn’t really develop enough things about myself during those key points in my life. I dont know who’d I’d be with out social media.

[@danielcahill2494]

My screen time is about 3 hours and 30 min a day would the be considered bad? I feel like I’m on it all the time? Also you,re one of my favorite channels love the minimalist style of your vids keep up the good work!

[@David-hi8og]

Honestly that’s below the average so you’re good

[@Eiydrien]

You said multi tasking is not productive, but what if i focus on one thing this day and then on another thing the next day? Do you think that's still unproductive? Because i have many things i want to learn / do, If you think it's still unproductive can you suggest any way i can balance them.

[@user-zk4yh7re4g]

I spend a decent time on my phone but 6 hours a day on average is crazy when I spend 6 hours of my phone it’s usually when I’m on a road trip or something

[@VilmaBaebi]

Checked my screen time and im seeing 70hrs per week. Wasted time. Just imagining all I could achieve with those 70 hours. Social media is really killing us

[@Jamilah_10_]

I’m about to be 18 and Why is mine 12hr and 55min and I’m mentally struggling

[@aswmsu]

would an hour a day use of video games okay? strictly an hour, and then thats it for the day. I wonder if it would still affect my attention span.

[@theabrahamdiop]

going on a detox - no games day to day life - don't play every day Just my personal opinion. If I am being completely honest with you, what asked is something that addicts say. Try experiencing life without video games for a few months, then see if you still want to play for one hour a day. If you do, fine. But it's likely you won't. I've been on all sides of the spectrum btw.

[@anthonysiano8842]

Man, I got 14 hours on KZbin today alone

[@user-hs3le3uu4d]

Atleast it’s long form content and not tiktok

[@narmimelya2602]

Where s the Turkish subtitles?

[@Zayi.118]

Back up from your mic

[@d-manz3752]

It always bothers me when you mention "you teens" as if I'm already supposed to have my life together at the age of 22 and not be soo weak minded

[@theabrahamdiop]

that is the exact opposite of what I believe. i apologize if something i said may have come off that way. i dont think anyone as young as us needs to have our entire life figured out.

[@gigibus4150]

I think he may have said that because a large number of his audience might be teenagers (like me).

[@FuriousFiveMonkey]

He never came off or said anything that would even imply that. It sounds like that's a projection of your own thoughts and feelings of how you feel about yourself that should be worked on.

[@amaliafeshuk2234]

Thank you so much! You are helping me to change my life🥹

[@777ariaaa]

he’s hot 😍
