4 years ago I deleted my social media. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Did I lose 99% of my friends and felt a senses of alienation? Yes. I was lonely and felt isolated for 6-7 months. Would I do it again? 💯 Totally because I got to work on myself, since I have so much time, I workout everyday, read books everyday, learned to cook, eat heathy, save money the list goes on. But Most importantly I am just happy and at peace. Social media robbed that from me. I’m glad people started talking about this.

Same actually, 4 and a half years now but didn’t lose friends or felt isolated. I think as long as you surround yourself with quality people, your quality of life will only improve disconnecting yourself from social media unless your career requires it. This video summarizes essentially one of the reasons I made a decision to be inactive. Another is it hindered my productivity and enabled my habit of procrastination.

@@greenthizzle4 Most of those girl are on social media at such high frequency because they have low self esteem.

@@thaintriguing1 hardly in the same mannor as facebook or insta. Facebook is comparing your life to random people what they do on a daily basis, insta is basically memes and fan pages of celebs, then you hop on youtube to see some interesting videos etc, there are so many talented channels i find youtube to be mostly imformative and there is also memes and jokes as well. I agree it is technically social media, in the sense that people like and comment and share the content but the content is not really people posing for pictures or embellishing their lives (for the majority of people with a yt account) huge numbers of people on yt dont even have any uploaded content they just view others content to enjoy.

As a 2000's baby, I can't agree more with this video. Social Media has become literal junk food for your brain. And now we have children using Social Media and getting targeted by creeps and pedophiles. When I was a kid, I didn't have a phone or a tablet. I actually spent most of my time outside riding my bike, playing with chalk, and hanging out with the kids on my street. And I was happy. Didn't care for MySpace, or Facebook, or Twitter. I didn't get my first phone til I was 15. And that was to make emergency calls to my mom just in case I got sick or needed medicine. Now you have kids around my niece's age throwing tantrums in the middle of Apple stores for iPhones.

We were enjoying the moment now you go to a concert or even a restaurant and people would whip their phones out. We all talked to each other and enjoyed having conversations. We were creative and adventurous. Now everything we see or talk about is from the internet. We literally stopped using our brain. What’s worst is most of us who remember the amazing times we had without internet are also addicted to it, even when we know we’re miserable. The government got us by our balls now because they have all our data including our location what we like watch and feel. Corporations getting richer of this data, eventually all our income will be controlled and deducted whenever the government wants. Now AIs are coming into play as well. We all need to step and and think about where we’re heading because it’s only been a couple of years with this technology and it’s already messing us up.

Missing in the discussions of social media's impact on our psychology is the commercialization of our identity.

We've reached the point where people, quite literally, spend more time on their phones than they do experiencing 'real life'. Social media, podcasts, pornography, dating apps, etc. have all lead us to believe that there are more interesting things in our phones than in reality. As a result, we don't invest time in getting to know people and having real social interactions.

It was just like some kind of addiction, like a drug I needed. My sex life as never been better, I feel more in touch with reality and with my own feelings, even when it comes to simply socialize with people. Porn is dangerous for the brain I believe, it disturb your reality, objectify humans, and the more you watching it the more I guess you dive into some weird stuff, the more difficult it could be to get excited in real life.

I’m 18 so I grew up with the whole big boom of social media. I feel like the only reason I don’t use it is because I didn’t grow up with it. I didn’t get my first phone till I was a freshman in HS so I was stunted on the whole social media knowledge. I tried using Instagram but I couldn’t get into it. It didn’t make any sense to me. Why would someone post about their lives? Who cares what you had for breakfast, or what movie you saw? I sure don’t so I’ll save you the trouble of looking at my boring shit. And I always preferred to talk or tell stories in person. It just feels much better, you’re able to use your body language, tone, and, emotion to help create a more vivid story. I don’t know, people can do whatever they want and it does feel really weird to be my age and not use social media. I get a lot of “Really? Why not? Everyone has a Snapchat though.” So the pressure is definitely their but I can’t be bother to follow through with it. I just don’t know how to use it and I feel like it’s one thing I’m happy not learning.

Social media ruined my relationship I still miss the old her, I watched her change right in front of my eyes. In 2020 things were amazing with her. We barely used social media as much meaning we never posted and me and her were exclusive to each other. I loved when she would send me selfies of her exclusively then she started to take selfies exclusively for Instagram. We would be on the phone and she wouldn’t be present. She’d be watching tiktoks or on Instagram or Twitter while I was talking. We started talking less and less we even stopped doing things like playing video games together. It really hurt to see her change. There was a time where I was suicidal and very depressed and the only person I could rely on was her. She posted a picture and started following this guy and became friends with him while I was suicidal. I asked her “are you texting him”, she told me no and I believed her. The next time she posted a month the guy commented on her picture. I knew something was up, she claims they were just friends but I still have my speculations. It just hurt because while I was at my lowest she was only worried about making friends with a guy from Instagram that she didn’t even know. A guy from a totally different state at that. And she even lied to me multiple times before she finally confessed and told me. Prior to this she would like things that she knew bothered me. Like a celebrity with his six pack showing and she would have celebrity crushes. She would talk about them with her friends on Twitter calling them “hot”. One of her friends even asked her “what baseball player do you want” right on my Twitter timeline. *we followed each other* It hurt so much to see her change for social media. It hurt so much seeing her choose it over me. It really did. I often reminisce about old times but doing this only hurts me in the end. I miss when we didn’t post on Instagram and didn’t care about if others knew about our lives. I miss when we would talk more. I miss when we only knew about what we had going on instead of other people. I miss when we didn’t care about making friends from other cities and states. I understand that she didn’t have many friends but she forgot about the one who was there from the beginning. She told me she was suicidal once and she didn’t answer the phone the next day. I cried and cried and called her and I was so relieved when she picked up the phone. But when I do it all she cared about was making friends with a stranger a thousand miles away. Things like this really make you question your worth. In the end we broke up and she put my suicide in my face. She sort of mocked me. And even when she did that, I could’ve put hers in her face as well. But why would I do that if I loved her? What if I would’ve said that and she did it ? She didn’t care to thing about the consequences of saying that. For all she know I could be dead right now. She didn’t try to check up on me or anything? And even after we broke up I checked her account maybe 3 days later and she posted a new picture. Why did she let social media consume her? Why?

Next to the train and on the train, literally every single person bent over on their phones, most with headphones in. To the gate, everyone sitting on their phones, laptops, or iPads. Almost everyone with headphones. Boarding, same thing, before takeoff, same thing. Until the door closed and some people had to be asked to turn the phone off did it stop. Then people jumped to music and iPads. As son as the plane landed, everyone back on the phones. It was like we were all plugged into the matrix. That trip I watched everything.

Sometimes people don’t wanna be too personal as to ask your phone number so they ask for your Facebook or IG so they can dm you

[@sandowando865]

As a mater of fact, having guts to ask for a number is part of the game. That is how it works. Learn to reject and to be rejected. Not everybody has and won't like you. Same goes for you. You are not forced to ve friends with every single person, nor are them. I deleted Twitter when it was not a trend anymore (2005). And to me, still is a social network from the past. Like I can not believe some people still use that dinosaur thing from 2005 ... I deleted my fb account among all others 6 years ago. Fb specially, is a cancer.

Here's a tip: delete 85% of your 'friends' from your social media accounts. Only leave family, friends (real friends), and interesting people. This quality over quantity approach will greatly improve your experience. Social media itself is not a bad thing. It's all in how you use it.

I’ve done this 👍

[@manicpepsicola3431]

I did that except I kept my meme pages since I only get on there to see funny shit lmao I learned to not give a shit about people a while ago I still love my memes and videos 🤷‍♀️ I like the 2 friends I have and my boyfriend that's it everyone else except my family is so distanced from me I couldnt care less anymore since my dad passed I figured out what's important rather fast I dont want to watch my life pass by worrying about everyone else instead of myself my health and my family and their health like technology and social media can be great but people get addicted keep the phone on silent and it will become less addicting also the noise it makes when you get a notifican will trigger your brain into checking it for satisfaction

[@philipdraper7284]

This social experiment was already well on its way by 2004-2007. I saw and remember it fondly as a simpler time with simpler fashion, less narcissism generally, freedom of opinions regardless of hurting feelings and other assorted reasons. When MySpace was released that was sort of a peek into the future because it all added to this passive aggressive malaise that was relatively new to the scene: people sending invisible signals to their friends and other loved ones that you aren’t “eligible” to be in my elite “Top 8”. And people would switch the squares around and move Joey from 2 to 6 so Joey got the message. Today it’s done more subtly but it’s absolutely had a corrosive effect on society. Yea, business is booming and people are making tons of money but it’s disconnected us from reality in an alarming fashion. And most people don’t even see the repercussions but deal everyday with their consequences.

I distinctly remember going to Hong Kong and staying in an epic hotel with an insane view. Naturally, I had to pose in front of this view to BRAG about my current circumstance, even though I was miserable, and under immense stress due to the business I was conducting in Hong Kong, but the comments on my picture were all people saying they wished they were me, and how lucky I was. When in reality, I was more stressed out than I had ever been. That shows right there that Instagram only shows the highlights. Even the “brave” women who post without makeup, are pretending that they are standing up for people, when in actuality, they just want the validation of showing people that they are in fact beautiful without makeup, which ultimately makes others feel WORSE about themselves. The plight of social media is entirely self serving. It has turned our society into a giant narcissistic organism. I know women who hang with other women that they do not like, but they realize they can create the illusion that all of their friends are cool and popular, when in reality, these people are not their friends at all. And with relationships? I’ve seen the most toxic, horrible relationships that are projected on social media as being relationship goals. We are all getting very sick, and if we do not start realizing that social media is a very dangerous drug, then we will continue to get worse. I apologize if I am coming off as negative, I just fear for the future of my children and nieces and nephews. It pains me that other people’s children are getting anxiety, depression and even committing suicide over social media. It’s happening every single day and is getting worse by the second. What can we do? What is the cure? Are we inevitably doomed to give the keys to our happiness to AI?

[@fbi5100]

It's sad how as soon as I got access to the internet my life changed really quick, I used to laugh, be happy and spend time with my family. Back when I was 12 I always thought the internet was a very fun place but its not, instead it got me hooked up and addicted, I always imagine myself being someone I'm not and it's really sad how I can't control it anymore. I usually imagine myself being happy, handsome, rich, loved and famous, I'm 15 about to turn 16 and I want this fake reality to end. And this might seem like a joke but it's not, I've been looking at my screen everyday ever since there was lockdown, never took a break and I'm tired from the inside and out, I don't even look like I used to back when schools were opened, I look more tired and more pale, I haven't spent over 3 hours outside taking a break for over 11 months and that's just the truth 😞. Time seems to be moving fast and it seems like there's just nothing I can do, I'm always in my bed doing the same thing I do everyday, constantly killing my emotions and hormones by comparing myself to other people while I'm slowly dying and wasting my life over something I always tell myself it's entertainment. Only 31 days till I turn 16 and I can't help myself but to cry because I literally have no experience having fun at the age I'm currently at. I'm truly disgusted by my actions and I really need help because I'm sick and throwing my life away, I do not want to realize I'm too late and feel guilt and shame and there's nothing more painful than regret. I just want to be happy and that all I ever wanted
