When deleting my social media 2.5 years ago, I realised two things: 1) nobody really gave a sh*t about me 2) I am much happier

Quiting YouTube is the hardest
@klovescrafts5768
As a 19 year old who quit social media immediately after graduation I had a ton of anxiety about deleting the apps. I am here to say that it is genuinely the greatest decision I have ever made for myself.

Quitting social media is easy. I already did it 7 times.

"I deleted all my social media accounts, and I regreted it." - Said no one ever.

I feel like social media weakens friendships. Too much jealousy, narcissism, misunderstandings. Less time to give friends a phone call.

it is quite scary for me to think about this Ted talk because when I first heard him about 4 years ago I thought he wasn't making any sense and I love social media, all my friends and my life are on there. And now I am coming back totally convinced that social media has made me miserable, addicted and always comparing myself to others over the years.
@foaadvideo1233
by Quitting social media ( IG, Tictok, etc) you gonna experience 1. less anxiety 2. less sense of comparison 3. more peace of mind 4. more productive days 5. more realness 6. more sense of presence and the list goes on!

I quit social media 3 years ago, I'm 33. Strangely, I don't miss anybody ( that was my main worry) and I got rid of depression.

I quit drinking, smoking pot, and social media at the beginning of 2015. I quit drinking because I didn’t want to get a third DUI and become a felon. I quit smoking pot because I couldn’t afford it any longer. I quit social media because I didn’t have anything going on in my life worth sharing. It took me 5 months to find a job(really it was like the job found me) and just two weeks after starting my first job, I was offered another part time job. The part time job turned into a full time job which came with a promotion. A year later I received another promotion. Now I’m the general manager of the business. If I had continued drinking, I’d be in jail or dead. If I had kept smoking pot, I wouldn’t be working anywhere or breaking my back for under the table pay. If I had continued using social media, I would have been subtly ridiculed for the type of work I was doing and in turn ashamed of my life compared to the lives of my peers. I’m proud of myself and I don’t need anyone from the other side of an app to validate my accomplishments.

this guy was ahead of his time! social media has become 100000x more addictive than it was back in 2016.

Social Media is ruining our lives ...anxiety, loneliness, comparisons, time consuming, perfectionism...and the list goes on. We spend a lot of time admiring people’s lives instead of investing in our own lives.

Social media increases two things 1) fear of losing 2) strengthening of ego
@AJ-ed4yt
I'm 15 and I quit social media because I kept comparing myself to others and lowered my self esteem. It made me feel so bad about myself but I'm so much happier now.

The older this video is , it gets more relevant
@TessaScholl
I did quit. Got my life back. I'm 100% happier and now am achieving big things. Quit social media.

I have a friend who was my roommate in university. His name os Keenan. He is extremely friendly, genuine, and always exudes an air of calmness around him. I have never seen him angry or frustrated and throw a tantrum. One day i asked for his Facebook account. He said that he did not have it. Instead, I always saw him carrying a book or staying in bed reading without a care in the world, no smartphone. He only used his laptop for doing his homework. I think he was different from the rest of my university. Their eyes stick to the smartphone, always getting annoyed, feeling unhappy. Social media really ruin our mental health and happiness nowadays
