I Deleted Social Media For 7 Days
Ойын-сауық
I deleted social media for 7 days. I felt my brain was being overloaded with dopamine lately and I needed a good detox to reset my brain, build momentum with discipline, and find joy in my personal life. This challenge was super fun and I hope you guys take something from this video. Enjoy :)

Thank you for posting this Richie, I’m 15 and the only thing I do is scroll through social media instead of worrying about school and my friends. Watching this video made me realize how far my life is spiraling downhill because of social media. I think I might try to do this, delete social media for 7 days to see how much it impacts my life. You’re an asking person Richie, thank you❤

I love how every video that Richie posts it helps him improve himself and us. SO PROUD OF YOU 💗💗💗💗
You’re definitely the most influential person to all of us. Since we are all probably around the same age as you or younger, we can really relate to what you are saying and how you want to improve yourself, you definitely influenced me to do my best and reach for my goals than be afraid and do nothing. Thank you Richard
SO PROUD OF YOU RICHIE. KEEP IT UP 🤍🤍🤍
thank you for this, it’s encouraging me to try it for myself and make my life better. living the moment seems fun, it seems like the life i was supposed to have without social media. i love you and please keep showing your work so we can support you! ❤
last year i deleted tiktok for like a week and after returning i realized how BORING social media is anyways because all it is are the same videos and photos in different settings and it's just so fake... it's a way that makes you included with so many more people which in retrospect may be nice but it highly raises your expectations and makes you think you have a chance at being friends with certain people who really don't even care for you.. they're just your instagram mutual. it makes stuff so much more confusing and frustrating and social media also ruins ignorance is bliss and opens up your entire life for everyone to see and hate on you for. we all have bigger problems with identity now that it's all labeled as a, b, c, d and knowing all about the different lifestyles makes people strive for those ones instead of just being fine with their own. i'm so glad ive minimized my time one social media and became self aware when im scrolling and how i could be using that time better. i love using social media now just to actually socialize, and just occasionally post the fun events i attend :)
i love richards account. instead of posting the usual stuff, he posts these challenges but also shows us these important messages in life and how we could be a better person. But i also love how he adds some funniness to it as well.
I honestly understand this very well because honestly just getting off social media and just living life in the moment is honestly more fun then just taking pictures and sharing it to everyone but anyways I enjoy this video and seeing this other side of you ❤
This was so poetic and inspiring! I feel like this kind of content is what you should be remembered for, I don’t think you yourself understand just how important you are to many people and that your “deep” side is actually so sweet and wonderful to watch and listen too! So inspiring I might try one week w/o social media too 😭
It’s so cool that you’re doing this being through this journey with you is like tempting me to do this. Full support for you 👍 that ending part scared the shit out of me man it’s 12:49am and I’m in a dark room 😭
man Im really liking your recent videos, thank you so much for uploading!
Richie thank you for being a big inspiration for others❤ keep it up!
love these experimental-type videos! they’re seriously inspiring.
This inspired me to delete all social media! Thank you richie you helped me with alot of things in "life" so today I will live.
I feel like this is good influencing. I’m closing my phone now and going to go read. Thank you Richie
This video was incredibly eye opening to me and I definitely related to a significant amount of what was said in this video, especially in the sense of an ability to focus and a tendency towards the Internet to fuel me with dopamine. I never realized how much that truly impacted my life and my ability to enjoy it as much as possible. Thank you for making this video, Richie. 💖 I hope this was as beneficial to you as it was to me.

You can say that again. The ending was defo eye opening
another banger, homie.been trying to decrease my online procrastination by finding peace in the outdoors for a little while now, and it really does feel amazing to live in the moment and not like i need to document every part of it.
The end is scary but a really good message to get more motivation, Im proud of you Richie and i bet all of us are so keep being the best person that you are
I remember the first day I was grounded which meant no social media or anything. I was afraid that I'd miss out on everything, and I'd be behind on trends. I wasn't able to text my friends, so I disconnected with some of them. I remember feeling the exact same thing shown in this video. I became calmer after a few days and became more aware of my surroundings and more present. I began to realize that we're all so hooked on our screens and social media. I would be in a classroom or at an event with my band and a lot of the time they'd be on their phones, and I found it so strange. I took up reading again and started painting. I still had TV, but I mostly had nothing to do. I'm back on social media but only because I have a school computer (still grounded, it's been like 10-ish months?? lol). Otherwise, I'd probably be doing something else right now. Being without social media changed my perspective.

Bro your parents did the best thing to you . I have my finals in 2 weeks and I am extremely addicted to my phone (almost 12hrs a day) 💀
i love u sm richie 💗💗 im so proud of u !!
Here’s my thank you for what an impact this video made on me, and how it changed everything. Earlier today, I was watching this video and as soon as it reached the ending it changed me completely. I switched off my phone, I started attaching myself to my surroundings and doing excersizes I had learned from you - I started listening to my thoughts and challenging myself. As soon as I got home (because I was in a car), I didn’t even touch my phone, which was a bug improvement because I have an addiction to it and a person I have added on it. I went out into the garden, it was raining so I brought an umbrella and some stuff to write with and started writing down all my issues and tried doing one of the paintings Richie had done once in my own style, I was attaching myself to reality and recognizing my life and how I can fix it all and how im present im this current reality. I did excersizes I had learned from richie, I was using my 5 senses. Then, later on, I went to the airport and I was so happy. Happier than ever. I realized how I am not my thoughts and how happiness is my choice. I also pretended I was richie vlogging as a distraction from my deep mind a few times. I was full of energy and felt attached and cut off my false problems which I had created for myself for no reason. I was present in the moment after I had been detached for so long, and I literally stopped worrying about all my false problems after not being able to no matter how hard I tried. Richie is my idol, and im very glad I found him on TikTok in around June 2023, and watched him regularly ever since, the ‘phase’ never died, it was never a phase, it was just - richie! And I must say how much richie has helped me grow. It’s not just today, it’s other days too. His content is the only thing that makes me happy and realize things I never wouldve before. Truly a legend, thank you for making such content which is actually life changing, I don’t even know where I would be right now if it wasnt for Richie. So thank you, and I’ll keep watching your content when im at my worst and it will completely flip me to be at my best, it works every single time. Thank you Richie, for being the only thing that works on me and gets me motivated and out of my depression, keep posting your amazing content, you have so much amazing potential and perseverance, we love you
For someone who's not very into social media, it is something very special to experience. You get to see the world better, and yes it can get boring, but you can always find creative sides of yourself. You should try doing it for 30 days and see the actual changes. 😁👍👍
The ending was creepy but it made me realize how addicted I am to social media and how I can't live without I know it's a bad thing but there really is nothing for me to do though when I'm not on social media I just have to do chores or stress over things so I play on my phone just to forget all the things that bother me if social media doesn't exist I would be depressed so I'll try to not sped as much time as possible on my phone and learn more about life and happy things around me thanks Richie ❤
I’m proud of you I deleted instagram, tiktok, etc a year ago now and I’m much happier. It takes courage to initiate it for yourself though, good job!
Love these typa content man keep it up
My screentime used to be like 12-15 hours, I used to sleep at 6am and wake up at like 12pm just to be on social media.. it’s 5 hours now and my sleep schedule is 10pm-7am so I’m doing better.

I love how Richard tests this for us to show the world how messed up our brains are. (Ngl the end scared me and I closed my eyes and ears😅)
Hi Richie I love to fact that your learning guitar! I play the electric and bass and a great way to have a better control with your fingers is to use the first four frets ( first 3 lines going down) and play each note. When I learned it as a child it helped me out a lot it should help to! :)
i love those new videos that aren’t just fun and jokes but actually help us and you too:) it’s so motivating and teaches us so much and i’m just so glad to see such a funny and cool person show us ur real struggles and problems and trying to help us too:) please keep making videos like these:) i love them
“That’s a fourth of my life watching other people’s lives.” That hit hard
I really appreciate this kind of educational video Richie 🙏 i too am struggling with phone addiction that i find myself being less and less productive and feeling like crap everytime i wanna use it but i cant... I wanna... Live my life better..... Like before all these.. I will.. Keep on improving myself 🙏 hope everyone who also is feeling the same way... To be strong! You can do it! We can do it
The youtube content is totally up my alley, but ik most people don't wanna sit through this stuff. I'm hyped for your content bro Me when Richard posts 😍🤯😩😩😩
As a fellow Filipino, I'm so proud of you Richie! Mabuhay ka kapatid! 😤💪🤍
You must have a good discipline ! So proud of you!
love how real this video is. i have seen a lot of these before, but this one just feels different. i gotta say i don't think it's about not using social media, but more about discipline and understanding when to stop. it's okay to want to post about your life, to see how other people are living their lives. but when you notice that these things are having a negative impact on you, that's the time to step back and see what you need to change about how you use social media. social media is now naturally a part of everyone's lives, so i don't think there is anything bad about having it. there is nothing wrong with deleting all your social media either, if it works for you. i just know that it wouldn't work for some people(for me too), so for us it's all about understanding what social media does to you and how you use it and noticing when to step back.
This inspired me to do the same challenge as you. Keep up the good work bro👍
Man, this is inspiring. Definitely saving this.
I haven't had social media for 3 months due to being grounded, and I think that when my mom will finally lift the ban, i won't redownload it. I have been thinking that I need to prove shit and show everyone that I have an amazing life to distract myself from all the shit going on. I just broke up with my first love and I have been feeling like "damn, I wish I could post a hot pic" or "I wish I could post to make him jealous" or sum shit. But now its just all not worth it, and I want to be able to find myself again. I wanna wake up and look in the mirror and compliment myself instead of pointing out all my damn insecurities. And I think that your video really helped me understand that there is more to life than a dank app.
richie if there’s anyone in the world who can change this generation for the better, you deserve to know that it’s you❤️
I'm currently making a video about life-style stuff and your recent videos were just such an amazing motivator and inspiration, I thank you for making such delightful content with a good load of creativity
I’ve done this since december because my addiction was horrible, even for youtube. I had terrible withdrawals the first few days which scared me because i realised how dependent I was on it. but you’ll find that you have so much time, maybe pick up a hobby too! I also relate to that “I’m like a cuck but for life” 😭😭😭 good luck bro
i wouldn’t personally say im addicted to social media but it does have an impact on how i perceive myself … like i totally get the part where you say you don’t feel special without it bc other people aren’t documenting your life but its really an eye opener to realize that the REAL people around us see us everyday , every moment , &’ that’s what matters the most !

I really appreciate this advice
This was literally one of the best videos I ever saw
I worked out today for the first time and I thought of you, thank you for motivating me.
I feel like for me, it doesn't have that same effect, I genuinely want to go out and do things, but its my situation that makes me feel that I won't be able to and not the mind numbing effects of social media, I just don't try because everything in the world seems like its falling apart. I feel like that is a KEY point he missed in this video. Especially with prices going up and wages not increasing, it leads to social media addiction. Because a lot of us can't go out without having to worry "how much is this gonna cost in gas", "if i get hurt I'm gonna have to pay big money for my medical bill/ambulance", "If i go do this, I wont be able to pay my bills/rent" But he also made a REALLY good point, that it is an escape, because it really is most of the time (obv not all the time tho) Great fkin video
*"Your life is waiting for you"* danggg, that one slaps me hard richie
Hey , I am seventeen and I have never been on social media , and yes , it's peaceful in here 🎉 You get to spend time with your family members, with your friends And with the people you adore. And I can assure you the less you are on your mobile phone. The more connected you feel to your surroundings with your people , your own people and the world Around you. And after experiencing all this I've sworn to myself to never be on any S.M . And I encourage you guys too. It might take some time. I agree, But the result which you guys are going to have. It's not going to be exciting. It's not going to be fully of energy adrenaline. It's going to be easy. It's going to be filled with calmness and yes it's going to be Drama free✨️🎯
After this I watch this video I’m deleting KZread, and taking a shower. I don’t have any social media expect it, so it’s all I need to get rid of. Ever since shorts came out, I’ve been spending my hours doing nothing. Thank you for helping me turn my life around.
man im so happy i watched this video, really inspired me :) but good christ the end scared the everliving shit out of me at 3am
You really made me feel what it’s life is.
Loved this vid thinking of doing this myself
Honestly the end was exactly what I needed
I just started the video and the start is literally me when my mom grounds me (that happens a lot) and then I just get bored of social media and yeah……and I sometimes don’t even wanna reply to my friends or even watch KZread but you are one of my favorite KZreadr and I am getting added again
“Your life is waiting for you.” Damn… that shit hit
I didn't even watch the video, I just instantly deleted insta and tiktok because i got the most screen time on that. This motivated me thx.
man this video needs waaayyy more attention than it's getting😤😤😤
men ur always motiwating ty for it
Man richie your so real for that
The ending gave me nightmares(seriously) but im still proud of you Richie!!:')
dude that last part scared the shit out of me because I'm laying on my bed in the dark
Richie wtf , I was on the verge of tears until the ending scared tf out of me.
Yo richard i did the same challenge like you but it was for 2 months i improved myself and now im living my life
the end scared tf outta me. and i was suppose to be going to sleeep
yeah man im always scrolling being sad comparing myself with other people these rich people on social media telling ways to be succesful and im only 15 and its makes me pretty sad because all i do is scroll and im doing nothing productive i dont have much friends that want to go out so thats why i guess scroll my depression away just like my discord is so dry i grew up with a cool gc with my online friends but it separated and we talk but dryly and yeah i get the feeling special i feel like im some kind of attention seeker like i want people to talk to me on socails i want to interact because i am social i used to be popular as a kid but now i realized just give me 3 friends and ill be happy for life fr i might just delete social media only reason i have it is because of the fear of missing out and the thought of talking to my friend knowing i see him at school i got banned for 3 days on instagram and honestly i didnt mind because i was good honestly thank you for showing me im not alone :D
You may already know that but to stop a bad habit you should replace it with something better , that void in free time is what drain us so I think it was going to be better if you plan to do many other things that you've been procrastinating then just staying bored. And it was a pretty nice video I enjoyed . Continue to entertain us
thank you very much for scaring the absolute s*** out of me, i was half alseep watching this and now i cant sleep
ANOTHER GEM RICHARD!!!!!!
I've done this before, its made me better and worse at the same time. When i deleted social media was when i started to focus more but creating stories was so hard. But then i got used to Not using SOCIAL MEDIA but in the video Richard Sabiaga will do aswell.
This ready had me stop and think bro
Great content!keep it up!
did you really have to add that in the end i was js chilling abt to fall asleep and now i’m wide awake n it’s 3 in the morning thank you 😄🙏.
the end acc scared me so badly bru, i was half asleep n everything
you shouldn't be disappointed with this vid. even if it helped no one except for me, it still helped someone
i will try this for sure! i need this badly
Im so proud of you❤❤
Wow you could not have come at a better time. Ive been on my phone a lot today and I was feeling so brain dead all day long. I got tired of my phone and was feeling really depressed so I sat and did nothing for an hour. After that I decided as a reward for not being on Tiktok I would go watch KZread instead and this is the first thing I watched. This video really woke me up from my brain fog and got me actually thinking. Ive decided to turn off my electronics for the night and clean my room and do my laundry which I have been putting off. It feels like every time Ive tried to be productive the past week I have been unable to start and put down my phone. I hadn't realized how addicted to social media I have become, so thank you so much Im already feeling better after watching this video :)
I’m gonna try this!
I've never had social media since I've never been interested i only have KZread but i don't scroll on yt shorts i go outside take in the sun i think though the hardest part is the time u realise oh i have like 2 to 3 even for some people 5 more hours in a day now I've took up working out and trying to build more knowledge Richard i found ur channel when i was a fat valorant player who had never even held a hand with a women now ur videos have inspired me to be the best that i can be
I’m going to attempt this but for a month. I’ve researched 5 videos on 5 different time limits. One for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year. After the second month you don’t feel like returning to social media at all. After the one year mark you completely change from it. The one month video tho showed that it gives you this attention blockage where you want to Not use social media but you don’t over use it. It keeps you on your toes and working outside of the social network. It gives you the free time to do as you want and not procrastinate even after the challenge.
This was the last video I was gonna watch before bed, now I can’t find sleep because the end scared the shit out of me lol HELP
the fact that u learnt the guitar in a couple of hours n u still nailed the beginning of redbone is so hot damn

Speaking knowledge 🙌🏽 💯
social media is just toxic. my life was in complete shambles last year and i did not want to look at people’s post. being off of social media is just so freeing.
I deleted social media for 3 months before it felt good doing that
Amazing video I felt like it was an actual film
as a young kid, i am very proud of your progress as even i’m already addicted to my phone
Bro , the end made me feel like , very very uncomfortable , but at the same time , it made me realize that my life really is actually fucked and i need to control that , fuck it. You actually made me make the decision to delete social media for some time , to see if its good. Imma ask my friend to do this with me , and im 70% sure he will reject the offer cus he is obsessed with fortnite. But it doesnt matter , imma do it myself then , thanks !
