Social media is a narcissist paradise that is why you were made to feel that way.
@TheSaltyScientist
I deleted my social media (all of it) this year. I don’t think I’ll ever go back either. The blessings that have came with free time and room to think is barr none. Happy you came across my feed because I felt this way for so long!! Welcome to life offline 😊
@baileyfortney
I think there is going to be a big push of people rejecting social media. I think we are all just so tired of it. I deleted mine months ago and feel sooo good. It’s fun finding new hobbies and enjoy life offline.

I'm 36 and miss the days of the Nokia 3210, no social media, not even having a camera phone. Started off with AOL Messenger too, migrated to MSN Messenger like everyone else. I feel bad for kids who grew up only knowing the world as it is now. Our generation are lucky in a sense that we were the last kids to know a world without smartphones and social media.
@jennifer5353
I went through the same phases you mentioned, and I finally quit social media when I realized that these platforms that supposedly connect people were making me feel more alone than ever in my life. It was liberating to leave them behind.
@haileysanchez3648
This is one week off of social medias for me! Facebook, Tik tok, and instagram, everything! And it ALREADY has CHANGED my perspective and life so much!
@Muhluri
I turned off my phone and hid it away this Easter. My life hadn't been that peaceful in decades. I hope I can do it more often
@AliceKluge
Oh the point of not being attention grabbing or having to act for attention on Insta or reels- this video is so watchable because you’re NOT that. You come across as very authentic which is such a breath of fresh air ❤
@aditimahajan2967
Thank you for your honesty. I care about this a lot too. I am tired of being a slave to my phone. Let's start a revolution against social media and return to how we were meant to live!

One of the best decisions I ever made back in 2018! Tuning into real life helped me embrace its natural ebbs and flows without feeling like I’m the only one going through things. I feel more content, even if my life isn’t perfectly curated or aesthetically pleasing. I have more grace for myself, and I’m learning who I am more and more each day. I truly love my quiet, simple life. Choosing to focus on my own journey instead of others has brought me real peace.

I’m also 31 and using a flip phone again because my iPhone would suck me in too easily and too often. I love this video

It's so nice to hear I'm not the only one who's been getting a cold shoulder from other people on social media. It's been so bad recently I already started to suspect I've been added to some shady blocklists by people who don't like me. Or that I've said or done something offensive without realizing it and everyone else has just agreed not to talk to me behind my back etc. And then ofc I've been thinking am I losing my mind, for thinking stuff like this. Getting rejected really hurts. I'm an introvert, but it really pokes some old, deep wounds, when other people say or make something and they get positive attention, but the instant I say or do something, it's either a negative reaction or or no reaction. I'm an artist, and a handful of people (different people every time) like my works, but they don't share them. Which makes me think, are they not good enough to share? What should I do differently, so that other people would like it enough to share? I dunno, it's really tiring and frustrating. After listening to your experiences I thought maybe I'm just not the attention grabbing type either, and I'd be happier if I left social medial altogether, or at least minimize my time on it. Maybe 30 mins at most per day or something. We won't get our time back, and it feels like a waste to spend so much time trying to interact with others and find new friends and communities, when nobody seems to be interested.
@Tooldruid
I resonated with so much of what you said. I just deactivated all my social media two weeks ago and felt such a relief. I hated having my low effort posts get hundreds of likes then my thoughtful posts get hardly any. Made me realize the shallowness of it all.
@BellasCreativeLife
This type of slow content is exactly what we need more of. Please keep it up. <3
@Elle-rw3se
Quitting social media and getting sober this year truly changed my life. I’d reached a point where I couldn’t be present—my mind was constantly consumed with thoughts about posting. I felt like I needed a better wardrobe, a nicer house, more money—just more of everything. It became overwhelming. I finally hit a breaking point and decided to delete everything and commit to sobriety. Now, I feel like I’m finally living for *myself*. I have so much more time, my nervous system feels calmer, and I notice so much more of nature.
@CozyButterflySoul
I am 40 now and only on YouTube but even that feels stressful to me and I recognize what you said about engagement and socializing in real life. I have autism so most people find me weird or crazy too. Some people do really miss a sense of empathy or understanding for their fellow human beings. We should embrace our differences. ❤❤❤ Sending you love, light and energy! ❤❤❤
@shra5109
I quit social media except Messenger yesterday and i'm feeling a bit of sadness but i'm sure I made the right decision. I'm 23 and i decided to live my life as i used to do 14 years ago
@brenmmw

@millst1989
