Hey ya’ll! My make up looks maaaad here-not sure why but we move! Someone mentioned doing a video on comparison so here’s my lil take on it! I really wanted to break down how I deal with comparison given what I do. Enjoy and let me know how you find Instagram, comparison and influencers online.
I honestly appreciate your take on this, I try not to follow people who don’t present their authentic self or make me feel bad about myself. It’s hard to tell the difference sometimes but after following someone for some time you can tell. Also I’m interested in the last book you talked about, you said it was called “in his eyes” but I couldn’t find a link about it anywhere here.
Sharon G hello love! The book is called in the eyes of your creator by David L Fontes! Will add all these resources to the info box tomorrow I’ve been so lazy!
SincerelyOghosa Thank you so much for the response! I feel you, a lot of work goes into making videos, so I can’t fault you for a little laziness. Lol
I will unfollow “influencers” on YT and IG if:
Too many sponsored videos
AD posts
Drastically lost weight and look unhealthy
Constantly talk about lip filler/Botox
Posts look too perfect
Click bait
The reasons you listed, are some of the VERY reasons that I quit social media. I deleted my FB and Snap account for good. I’m back and forth with IG, but it will be gone soon too!
Girl do what you need to do for YOU!
Ayyyeee I felt that shade in my chwest! Today £15, tomorrow £5. Iz ok 🤣
You’re the best sis xx 😘
Girl you hit right on the head. I'm really thinking of fasting from social media to get my mind right. Lol. Like a Pastor said it is ok to be petty and unfollow people to maintain your peace. Lol
Erlande Lamy you should use it in moderation instead of fasting from it. I only go on Instagram and other social media platforms once a day at 5pm and three times a day on weekends and it's helped me a lot. I'm so used to doing this that I even forget to go on them sometimes
When I newly got saved, God lead me to stay off social media for three months. It changed my life. Do as the spirit leads. Thanks so much for watching!
@@jackiereacts7201 Thank you for suggestion.
@@SincerelyOghosa Thank you.
I literally was going through a lot beginning of the year comparing myself to people on social media and feeling like I wasn’t doing good for myself! Ended up getting rid of so many public figures on my social media and got off for 4 months! Literally the best decision I made!
I’m so glad you did this video! Earlier this year I did the same thing. I started unfollowing people that made me feel bad on IG. They’re good people but I wanted a break from the constant comparison.
This year I have been feeling some kind of way because of social media, particularly instagram so this video was like WOW, really did speak to me! I definitely get you, sometimes muting and unfollowing etc and it doesn't have to be because of hard feelings towards someone, literally about protecting your mind!
This was a great video. I LOVE unfollowing people lol because it makes me feel in control of what I consume. If I don't like it's a bye.
You’re honestly one of the sweetest and most sincere CZcamsr out here and I really appreciate you for that ♥️
Awww thank you Feven !!! Thank you!
Super relevant and spot on topic. Deleted Facebook 5 years back, Twitter never caught my attention. I only have Snapchat/Instagram/YT. I also am conscious of who I follow on those platforms, cause I can get triggered aswell. Comparison is the devil.
But great take on this Oghosa, I find you to be one of few people I consider as organic social media incluencer!
Hard to admit this but the hourglass one affects for me too, it is literally every-WHERE!!! I really enjoyed this video - very honest!
I love this!! I love what you said about considering how you make your audience feel
thanks lovely. Tbh that even includes me-if I'm triggering someone-they should unfollow me. Period
When I first started Instagram, this hit me hard! It was just an endless flood of perfect bodies and wealth. The comparison really started affecting me, I would talk to my friend which was a big help. I'm doing better now, I have not unfollowed people maybe I should. I love your point about getting tricked into wanting things we don't want, it's so true. My wants are different from their's. My motivation is unique to me. When I am close to God, He reminds me that I am enough. When I stray, that is when the comparison will kick in again. This video was so great, really well executed topic.😊❤🙏🏿👏🏾
Someone I know that works in mental health does not use
social media. If one is not very careful can be very bad for your mental
health. Comparison is a thief of joy big time. People only post the end result
not the process and also not everything is real and complete truth. Live your
best life and take breaks or leave social media to focus and progress with your
OWN life.
What do you think about Instagrams likes being taken away?
Ps: I’ve been loving the Naked series! Honestly I just love your channel, from the skits to these everything is so great! Its just sooo cool to see the growth ❤️ x
Hmm apparently Instagram are doing it because they want to diminish the influencer industry so companies can pay Instagram instead for ads. As a businesswoman I need to have my likes seen for companies to know how affective my posts are. However! As a human being-I think it may be useful for our mental health-but I think the root cause needs to be unpacked-WHY do we feel like we need social media to validate us-let’s start there! IG just emphasises the issues that are already there.
SincerelyOghosa woah! I really didnt know insta were doing this because of the influencer Industry! Thats so unfair. But yeah likes do get into some peoples heads and negative affects mental health. I was hoping it would make instagram fun again! Hoping it doesn’t affect your coin too much sis x
Awkward Abroad lmao same boy!
SO happy I discovered your channel. What a beautiful soul! ❤️
100%😊. I hv been supporting ppl on YT since about 2008-2009 and I wish sometimes I had put that much into my own self and my Channel. About 4 or five years ago I was making videos I had another Channel with more subscribers of course LOL, but I made a simple video about going to the Dollar Store and it went viral in one day I was amazed.. but because I am not a nosy person I didn't like Facebook and all these other platforms where you constantly got notifications about other people and their lives etc. So I deleted my channel by mistake one time and I wish that I had a started back at that point. But listening to things you're talking about makes me want to try again :-). Thanks for Sharing
Thank you sooo much for this . I know that I'm really vulnerable to comparing myself to others so know that not following certain people and not looking through certain people's profiles is best for my mental well-being.
It's nice to hear we're not the only ones feeling this way x
I Stan you so hard!! You’re so intelligent, down to earth and relatable. You push me to think, elevate and strive to be better while taking care of my mental and emotional health.
Thank you for being you! For being beautiful, strong, determined and a role model (however unintentional 😉) for me and anyone who looks like me ❤️
Wow this is so so kind. Wow. Thank you so so much!
You speak so much truth and you seem so wise, this is why I follow you cause you keep it 100. Bless you!
As a middle aged person I never gravitated toward FB or IG and only check for interesting content on you tube. Stumbled on your content and always learn something and am enjoying the “Naked Series”’. I get it about comparing one self to others and the feelings of insecurity it creates. Honestly I have come to realize only my spouse and one friend I can truly trust in life. I love my privacy and have more time for what is important now without all the excess of people whether in social media or in life. Keep up the great work SincerelyOghosa, and have you ever thought of writing a novel?
This message in this video is perfect. Our generation needs to hear more of this!
Babe! Your eyes🔥🔥🔥. And a very timely video, might I add.
I guess this means I have to unsubscribe because you’re too brilliant, articulate and poised! Lol ...but seriously, I needed to hear this at this time. There are coworkers and friends that are now doing similar things to what I do, I can’t help but feel like I’m losing what makes me, “ME”. It’s like who I am and my impact is diminished in a sense. I guess I need to find a way to change my perspective. Thank you, Oghosa ✨❤️
you are welcome, you are valued and needed on this planet. You are enough simply because you exist. God bless sis xx
OMG I really like your content!! I was really suffering from this myself and as a person who prides in being me and doing my own thing, parts of social media really broke me and for my own mental health I had to unfollow types of pages that I knew brought me anxiety.
I took a psychology of body image class in school and I knew I had to get the negativity off my feed! Unfollowed lots of people & Now It’s full of those who uplift others and display positive energy ✨
Yes I love that, having those scriptures in your mind and meditating on them is so important for those inner battles. Btw, please don't assume everyone who comes across your videos is a Christian or knowledgeable of the word of God. You said everyone knows Jeremiah 29:11, yes, most Christians know this but I would still put a lil verse up or say the verse because although you can become used to the same people watching your vids through interacting with subbies, you just never know right?
Amor Moreno very true! I think I just meant that it’s become so known that even non Christians know the verse. But you’re right-I’ll let my video editor know to start adding these x
Love this video sis ❤👍🏾exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life
Great content, i actually see some influencers that i liked a lot, learned a lot from, but somehow i don t relate to them anymore because i feel like growth is making them bougie and not so relatable anymore, and their content is more about pushing products than providing value to the viewers
Hey sis how are you? Your content is once again on point in terms of influencing. I love your eyeshadow so much in the video, however I feel as though the lip is not complimentary to you today. I'm not sure if it's my screen but it looks a bit unflattering against your foundation.
I think it’s the screen, but I agree my make up looks VERY weird here. But we move! Thank you for your kind words!!!
Comparison is the thief of joy
I removed all brands from my insta account.
clifannalee miller listen!!! This is a major key. Unfortunately I can’t fully do this because of my job but when a brands posts get triggering-I unfollow!
I love her because she’s so real
Loved this video!X
Great video thanks for the openness!!!
Thanks sis!
