People say that they use social media because is free but we don´t realize that they're not free. We are paying a huge price , we are paying with our time and time is an asset that once is gone is gone forever. In other words, we are wasting our lives.

I completely agree with the points you mentioned especially how it’s not real like it’s some fantasy world. I feel like social media is just there to distract you from your goals and visions in life. It is there to prevent you from succeeding because it wants you to focus on everyone else but yourself.

exactly. yes! I feel like IG is the main culprit. since most people use it to show their lives. we are constantly bombarded with pictures of your friends highlights, and we compare ourselves most of the time

Abbey gets it! If you need social media to feel connected, you need better friends in your life. I truly believe that the universe already knows the plan for our lives, it’s just up to you and me to trust in the bigger picture.

thank you! at first my friends thought it was weird that I deleted everything. but at this point they're used to it.

It was a huge relief for me to leave social media finally and yes it changed my life! I am truly happy with who I am now and I get to decide what I feed my mind instead of being bombarded with images of naked perfect women who don't even look like themselves online and be insecure about them. I enjoy me now, my beauty, my natural beauty without filters or an app deciding for me how I should look. Wow it's so liberating.

Social media creates a lot of lust that manifests in many forms..... If you're envying and coveting, it's a form of lust. I'm not religious, so I'm not preaching, but look at the patterns we have, what draws us to look, like, and follow...

Yup, i deleted all of my social media a couple months ago and i have never been more productive or more happy. Also, you are beautiful! Hope you have a good day

Those people don't want to be told otherwise is because social media was designed to manipulate our minds to an extent where it feels like a spell has been put into our minds, algorithms and contents are the reason why it became so negative/toxic and addictive, sadly not many people want to admit it.

I’ve just been off for two weeks but this is all facts, tysm Nyla. You captured everything that I felt. Said it better than I could! 👑👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Just recently deleted my social media as well and this video helped me sooo much to finally de activate all my accounts. Thank you

Not really using social media anymore, next step is to stop wasting time on KZread😅

I think for me the *fear of missing out* was the reason I came across this video. It's really a big issue. Thank You Sis.

The best thing I ever did was to delete the app off my phone. I get better sleep and I'm not missing out on anything. I only use social media to promote my music and that's it. I rather ask for phone numbers instead of social media cause I value genuine connections

all very true points, thanks for sharing :) I wish more people would realize these things. Especially how if you are really friends with someone, you will know what they are doing anyways, no need for social media. Insta tries to hijack our friendships! 😂

You're truly wise and beautiful. Keep doing you girl!

I decided to watch this after Facebook and Instagram were down today!

Well said

The only Social Media I ever had was Facebook but that was a very long time ago of course way back then I only used my account to play some of the games but lost interest in it after they discontinued them nowadays I can barely remember what having a Facebook is like anymore since I got rid of mine almost 11 years ago.😅

2:00 i actually relate to this i was on facebook last year (that was me going there after 2 years) i started looking for people i went to high school with i saw the people who where not smarter than me have settled down have kids good jobs and seen to have a good life . I broke down so bad bcz nothing in my life was going well i felt worthless and questioned my whole existence and felt worthless. So 2 months ago i realised i have depression and anxiety i deleted instagram and facebook. I miss nothing ang i realised all those 3k friends i had on facebook non of them exist in my life .

yes i agree!

I leave social media in 2017

I agree with everything that you said.

I was always comparing myself to other people that seemed to have all the good stuff. They talk about their kids, promotions, going on vacations, yadda yadda yadda. I'm lucky if I can even afford to go anywhere special. The memes, political posts, and bragging/gossiping has grown super old. Next month I'm planning to just give up FB for a month.

Do you use LinkedIn (a form of social media), and do you think its necessary when applying for jobs? I personally don't like LinkedIn since I find myself comparing my experiences with other people's experiences. And all your experiences are public to others

Hey .beautiful 1. Why i never understand why people like uu and millions of people share there life and busy on social media.people should be held accountable 4 there action u do realize how dangerous it is when u put ur businesses out there .people use tix tox, Snapchat, Facebook , Twitter , instragram. I feel people useing social media is seeking some type of attention and validation .2.i feel people also lack confidence .because ur putting ur busy out there 4 the world to see.there are pros/ cons u don't need validation or social media to build ur confidence .if u have confidence in ur self there nothing u can't accomplish .wat does it matter wat u think wat people think or say about uu.
