    I completely stopped using social media for more than 3 months. I experienced a decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression...

    incredible video, the part about giving into your vices hit home for me. i need to make a short film for college application portfolios, and every time i think about what im going to do, i get uncomfortable, nervous, all those feelings, and i end up doing something that makes me more confortable (like gaming). i have to start making more steps in the right direction that will get me to the place i want to be. thank you Noah for this video

    @Yittos Před 11 měsíci +1

    Noah, you really do have a unique mindset that sets you apart! In a good way of course. Your constant introspection, matched with your philisophical deep thinking, are both great tools for you becoming the best version of yourself. I also love seeing how far you have come! I know the days of Foxation are long behind you, but dude it is just so great seeing you evolve over these years and realize so many things that many people at your age aren't focused on.
    I'm going off to my first year of college in the fall, I'd be lying to you and myself if I said I wasn't a little nervous. Rest assured, I want you to know you have been a huge role model for me over the past couple years.
    Great video as always!
    Always looking forwards to the next.
    Edit: Oh and by the way, it doesn't matter if you post on Foxation or this channel or whatever for that matter. I'll always watch you bro, because I always know you have something meaningful to say.

    • @noahtherockstar
      @noahtherockstar  Před 11 měsíci +2

      hey noah, thanks for this comment. it makes me so happy to see fans from my foxation channel evolve and grow with me and it motivates me so much to make these videos.
      good luck on your college journey, dude it's gonna be so fun. college was the funnest years of my life (so far) and it goes by reallllly fast. make sure you enjoy it
      PS once this channel blows up i'm bringing back the foxation channel for gaming & streaming... :P

    this video is fairly relatable. i wanna go outside more but theres not really anything interesting to do here other then walking around. fortunately it is storm season right now so i can go outside and do a little amateur storm chasing, unfortunately i fell with my bike and broke my collarbone and so i couldnt do anything for the past 2 and a half weeks. i was pretty happy to see my first shelf cloud 3 days before my incident tho :D
    also when it comes to social media, i have only used youtube and sadly a bit of twitter, mostly for google maps or weather stuff. luckily ive never had anyone say that i was weird or odd for not having social media like instagram or tiktok. its also sad to see my family getting addicted to their phones too, especially my sister, who has tiktok, snapchat, instagram and lacks a considerable amount of useful general knowledge. sometimes i just wanna go out for a trip or vacation or something to the woods or some other interesting places without any electronic stuff (though maybe a phone is useful for navigating, information, etc) and just go around and explore cool places but as i have said before, currently that isnt possible, also because i fell right when my test week started so i have to redo all my tests now and also combined with that is that i still live with my parents and with not enough travel experience
    great video

    Im going to do the same from now to 2027 back in 2019 when I was in high school I always thought I could be one of the people who had it easy in life with no actual problems because I had friends and a girlfriend but all that changed when I was cheated on ghosted by friends after graduation & lost 3 family members all in one summer while still being a virgin and still am I even was shot at by gang members in 2021 and guns pointed on me by cops the same night just walking home from the store and I still kept that optimistic naive side of myself until 3 months ago where I tried getting with a woman again after 4 years thinking I'd finally lose my v card she rejected me 2 days ago was my birthday im 23 now and I just sat in my room thinking about everything I've really been through in life truly understanding that I've been through alot & life didn't go the way I planned so I decided to disappear deleted all my social media's and nonsense out my life and enter the cave N re invente myself for the next 2 to 3 years and return as a not just a monster but a serious man

Infact i have done multiple times but again i come back thinking that i might be missing out on something or i might be losing people. I feel like i will end up alone and unrecognised that’s the thought that’s holding me back. I really want to delete my social media accounts. I’ve been so addicted. Please tell how can i let go of that fear

      hey amy I feel you! you gotta realize you're not missing out on anything and if those people are truly there for you, you won't need social media to keep in touch. and even if you lose contact with some people, life moves on and you realize you actually didn't need them. focus on yourself ! :)
