No tik tok for 5 years, no snapchat for 3 years, no insta for 4 years, no twitter for 6 years. Never been happier

Phone addiction is worse than a lot of other addictions because there is 0 acknowledgment of it which is the most dangerous type of addiction.

The worst part of phone addiction is that everyone else is addicted too.

It hit me kinda hard when my mother remarked mid conversation “all you ever talk about is what you saw on TikTok” I almost flatlined because it was so confronting and true. I used to be very well read, had friends, been more outgoing and generally curious and bright. Social media has eaten away at all my free time, every minute I have to myself I scroll. I have deleted all apps and honestly don’t know what to do with myself any more. I’ve started to record myself thinking out loud to process my thoughts on whatever is on my mind at any given time. Instead of doomscrolling to escape my thoughts. That’s an OK start I think.

My dad is 53 and he is so addicted to his phone and Facebook reels, it makes me so sad. 10 years ago he refused to get a smart phone and protested them. Now he’s a zombie most nights, scrolling on his phone in his rocking chair

crazy to think social media didnt even exist before 2000s, you wouldnt even know what other people were up to unless you were with them irl. lowkey wish life went back to that

I deleted Instagram and TikTok four weeks ago and has already seen a huge change in my appearance
Not only do I dress differently because I’m not overwhelmed with other peoples style choices, I genuinely look prettier! Not to mention I laugh way more and enjoy more things throughout the day. GREAT VIDEO ❤

Once you create a healthier relationship with social media and your phone, you begin to notice when someone else is so obviously chronically online. They can't tell a joke that isn't from a meme or reel or TikTok, they're addicted to drama, they overthink EVERYTHING. It becomes harder to interact with people like that.

just deleted tiktok because it was genuinely ruining my life.... suddenly i have the ability to watch tv shows / movies again (NOT just reality shows) and can read again... i hope to be off social media entirely soon

Imagine going to lunch with friends. The only thing they talk about is all these digital strangers.

This addiction is why so many people think they have ADHD. People's brains are fried. It's caused a complete inability to just be still and look around.Ya know, be alive, be here now, etc.

The way this was posted right as I'm breaking my own social media addiction is crazy

I deleted instagram yesterday and something lifted. I realize we have too much access to everyone’s lives and everything just feels weird. Being off social media definitely made me feel human again.

@DheavenJKelley 1 year ago

Deleted my social media two years ago and developed a distaste for it. I feel disconnected from the world in a good way and I’m running my own race not subject to the opinion of others.
Became more disciplined, more focused on my business, and have become a better husband and father for my family.

@Sofancyxyz 1 year ago

I’m social media free and have officially been off instagram about 4 months. It is just a huge monitoring spirit, we aren’t meant to ingest all of that information. It is weird because people when know nothing about we know everything about. I talk to the same few people everyday that genuinely reach out to me. I’m happy to not keep up with anyone else’s business nor do I want them in mine. I love having more hours to myself to focus on me and be in my own world.

Becoming an adult has made me realize that being mindful is not a common practice amongst us all

I just finished Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz and the result was honestly not what I expected at all. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what it would say, but it focused on completely different patterns. Still trying to decide whether it misunderstood me or understood me better than I understand myself 😂

"Don’t look down your nose at the alcoholics and the drug addicts: maybe you’re just as addicted as they are. So we were given a taste of various drug addictions: approval, attention, success, making it to the top, prestige, getting your name in the paper, power, being the boss."

This is a very important and true message. I deleted my Instagram and Twitter in 2020 and have never been more successful. I lost weight, cleared my skin, found my personal style and makeup and was hired by my high paying career and also cultivated 5 different hobbies in the span of 5 years.
