    I’ve deleted everything except CZcams! I felt like I was seeing toooooo many people’s lives, faces, and thoughts on the daily. It literally started giving me a headache.

    It’s insane how much I could relate to this video. I got frustrated a few months ago from being on TikTok and Overtime, being overstimulated by so many people and so many things I don’t know and I don’t need to know and so I deleted TikTok. At first it was hard, but then I realised how freeing it is. At some point, it’s stressed me out and I just decided to cut it out of my life and it was the best decision ever. I had multiple problems with social media that I in the moment didn’t even realise. I love running and even when I was on social media, I started my running journey, but somehow I couldn’t manage to maintain some of the things I wanted to do such as reading books, or doing other things that are my hobby. Then I noticed ever since I deleted social media. I have absolutely zero problems with my time management with keeping up and maintaining my workout routines. I feel less stressed and I’m also less overstimulated and generally happier, especially my mental health has improved. I wish more people would know how much social media seriously impacts our lives. I’m only 19 years old and I just said I don’t care anymore because everybody has social media, but I seriously had to at some point stop using social media for my own health.

      This is amazing! Especially at 19. I honestly wish I cut it all out sooner. I deactivated and reactivated for years. I always hear people say they don't have enough time to do things they want to do, but if they look at their screen time, they will see where all of their time goes. I am with you in that my mental health has improved so much! So much more happy in general without all these apps. Thanks for watching

      Hey, so I deleted all my social media but I’m trying to delete tiktok again because I ended up getting it back. 😅 It’s because someone said “You can’t be an author without social media.” And I’m an up coming author so my book is almost here. Advice?

      @@ShiningDreamingly yes I definitely understand bc it can be hard to not go on it when it's there. I'm not sure how authors do it, maybe you can reach out to authors and ask what they do. Social media definitely is helpful for advertising books and stuff.

    Love this! I love CZcams for watching videos and playing them in the background while cleaning/folding laundry. Recently just deleted IG and FB off my phone. Planning on deactivating IG.
    I had to give myself restrictions though on YT because of the shorts I noticed I would get stuck on the shorts/reels just like they have on IG and FB. I wish they would have just stayed on tiktok where they belong, it’s ruined a lot of social media. Such a time sucker.

    Love the channel. I quit social media around the time the pandemic began. I’m in my mid-30s. I had been on it for way too long, unfortunately. But best of luck with life without all the socials! It’s great.

    • @DanBeanz
      @DanBeanz Před 4 měsíci +2

      It depends how much it gets in the way of your day, I don't use social media, as I have a dumbphone (I would recommend looking into these!) but still have snapchat installed on my school ipad as some of my friends for some reason are against regular messages, I and sometimes need to contact them... If you only use snap when necessary and don't waste your time on it i'd say its fine. I know people who spend the moment they get in from school to when they go to bed on snap. Obviously at that point you probably should detox and uninstall but if you think you can use it in the same way you would whatsapp or messenger and not let it get in the way of your life I think it should be ok to keep it installed.

    Not devil apps. Nothing wrong with having them. We are social creatures naturally. It's literally just something to do and there's nothing wrong with it. People do yoga classes, go on beach trips, and vacations all the time...
