    I'm 30 and I have been using Social Media for more than half of my life. The first Social Media platform I used was Piczo. That's where it all started. Social Media hurts my head. It's blurs my mind. I'm done with it. I'm glad you are too.

    I deleted facebook 1 year ago, twitter 4 years ago, snapchat 1 year ago, and I still have instagram but I haven't posted in 3 years. I still watch people's stories. I also unfollowed people that weren't serving me and I started following people that did. For example, I was interested in DIY stuff around the house and I started following people in that space. I still have KZread and I also made the decision of only watching people that I am subscribed to as well. I also unsubscribed from a lot youtubers that weren't serving me. I still go on instagram to keep up with music artists, and tour dates but even then, as of lately, I've made the decision to not go on any concerts just to save money (I was overspending on concert tickets). With instagram, however, I don't have the app on my phone. I log into it through safari. But I want to maybe delete safari off my phone and just have the google app and youtube app on my phone. I use youtube more for listening to podcasts and certain science-based youtubers about habits and what not. I still have youtube on my phone just for when I go on long walks or for drives. My strategy is to have my instagram account still be activated but no posting, no instagram through my safari (I'll find a way to delete safari from my phone). I'll only go on instagram through safari on my iMac which is at home. I want to do that on a bi-weekly basis. As for youtube, I'll only use it for long-form content or videos that are informative and are intellectual such as this one. If I ever get curious about something I can go take a class on it. For example, I went down the rabbit hole of watching a bunch of DIY videos but then I was like, "Why don't I just take a class at my local city college on painting/tiling/drywall?" Once I got good in that area, the need to watch playlists on how to renovate your home went away (I had a massive playlist).

    if you pause your watch history on youtube, it will turn off your recommendations & your homepage will be empty (but the recommendations under videos are still there). this is how i stop myself from scrolling on youtube & especially shorts!

    Installing the Enhancer for KZread is also great. It can remove the shorts page and will convert any watched shorts into regular videos, you can disable the recommendations under videos (you'll only see recommended videos if you hover over the "skip to next video"-button), and hide comments while providing many good extra features for your player. It really helped me to remove all the distractions, while also preventing scrolling. I'll try your tip as well!

    I feel like short form content has rotted my brain to the point where I could barely watch a TV show without picking up my phone. I deleted TikTok a few months ago and haven't looked back. I have started watching TV shows again and being able to actually pay attention. I also agree so much about how everything I saw on TikTok just felt like an ad. I see it way too much that I felt like I was being shoved something new to purchase and I didn't want to see that stuff anymore.

    I'd highly recommend getting a flip phone. I have been using the CAT s22 flip for a month now and it has been great for limiting my phone time at work. It still has navigation, music, etc but really deters other use. I still have a wifi only smartphone that I have been using at home, my goal is to follow in your steps and delete socials/limit use entirely on that phone.

    Iam really happy to see a person passing with the same experience in passed I also deleted social media almost 3 months ago exactly at 25th march but i deleted all the social media platforms at 30th march and i passed with alot of things you've passed by like installing Snapchat again to check smth and i loved the watching edits. But definitely social media is a thing you need to delete cause deleting it makes you happy at your life with less people judging you and it restores your dopamine receptors and attention span and it makes your day just longer and it makes you so much productive so definitely people need to get rid of their fomo and delete their social media at least for a week!

    people are so immersed in their fantasies on the internet that they don't bother to know what's happening in real life with other people x'D. The biggest disadvantage of internet so far is this, that they have brainwashed themselves to coping; whenever there's a negative or uncomfortable emotion, they open their device and diffuse theirselves into fantasies, wishing their emotions would subside on its own. What happened over time bcs of this is that their subconscious also started to ignore other people and their problems, even genuinely complimenting or congratulating others in their good moments is such a hurdle for alot now, ig jealousy also plays a role because the whole world is infront of them through screens, constantly comparing, that they don't value the people around them that much now. Overall people have been brainwashed on a subconscious level and they dont even know. Use it 80% for educational purposes if you want good mental health.👏

    Yet here she is on social media (KZread) social media. Doesn't have a bad or negative affect on people either. No big deal deleting social media either literally doesn't change your life in a definite way. Unless you just don't want to be social anymore or notice people being social anymore (antisocial) but even then you notice people being social outside of social media all the time anyway especially at work, in stores, parks, county festivals, restaurant, just casually hanging out, people on dates, cops, etcetera... You just use your phone less maybe so. It isn't really a big deal. Doesn't help attention span either it's just literally entertainment. I go a year without using my phone unknowingly sometimes. Also you're pretty.

    ​@@karakinchenI don't believe any of that is opinionated just factual. Her attention will just be directed differently but in a way to be social still I believe. I explain that because I am antisocial. I've been this way for decades. I look like a teenager still to people but I'm in my 30's now actually 39 and being antisocial is fun but I fantasize all the time and have a vivid imagination I learned to play the piano this way. I look forward to daydreaming before I get off from work as if I want to watch a TV show... Also I actually would rather just sit at home daydreaming all day versus being around people or go exploring rural areas alone somewhere exploring daydreaming and evading people. I just don't understand why she's so conflicted about social media though. It can be bad, good, or addictive if a person wants it to be. Doing things to influence being antisocial in a social world seems depressing to me though. To me she looks pretty and young so I don't think she should do that because she might miss out on a lover like I have so many times most too young for me anyway. I enjoy seeing people happy in love though. I believe we naturally yern to be social. I think we are social creatures by nature we want love the right way which is our own way and to be happy. Long winded I know..
