#socialmedia #addiction #abhiandniyu
Social media has truly transformed our lives. Now it’s no longer a luxury but a necessity. New trends, new reels, new and better platforms which are a lot more faster having multiple in-built features have become an important part of our lives. The structures and methods have changed. Earlier they were a part of our lives to make things simpler for us, to make us efficient. But now they are CONTROLLING US, DICTATING US, and making us ADDICTED
One of the most concerning aspects the video explore is how social media usage releases dopamine, the brain's feel-good neurotransmitter, creating a cycle of addiction and dependency that can have long-term negative effects on our neural pathways and emotional well-being.
From endless scrolling to the pressure of maintaining a curated online persona, the pitfalls of platforms like TikTok are vast and far-reaching.
And it’s not just Tiktok. It’s every social media platform, be it Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat
But fear not, for this video isn't just about highlighting the problems; it's about offering solutions. The video will explore practical strategies and tools to help you regain control over your social media usage and break free from the grips of addiction. Whether it's setting limits on screen time, practicing mindfulness, or cultivating real-life connections.

Kya baat kaha sir ❤
1. Turn off notifications of all unwanted apps
2.set app timer to apps to get control
3. Use DND mode while doing work
4. Watch the videos from this channel
THANKS
Why to watch videos and movies stop everything. DND can be turned off by you also...
I don't know why I started crying after watching this video. I was a very bright child since my childhood. I used to love studying science and all other subjects. I decided to get homeschooled in 11th grade. I opted for an online learning platform. But little did I know that was my worst decision. My parents installed a Wifi in my room for my lectures. After some days I installed Instagram on my laptop. I started scrolling Instagram in btw my lecture breaks. Then I started skipping live lectures, thinking that I'd watch recorded ones. My Instagram and CZcams screen time went from half an hour per day to 18 hours per day. I failed my 11th grade and got promoted. I tried millions of times that I'll leave this but could never. My 12th grade started, then I promised myself that I'd study this time and would crack NEET. But my never-ending addiction never ended. I again wasted my entire 12th grade. This time the addiction is so bad that I don't even sleep anymore. My family thinks that I'm studying at night. But all I'm doing is endless scrolling. I hate myself more than ever. I've bought 3-4 courses but wasted all of'em. It's not like I don't have supportive parents. I have some good friends, family members, and other support systems. But I just can't open up to them. It's like I'm ashamed of myself. My brain constantly tells me to stop but I just can't stop physically. I can't hurt my parents. Tomorrow is my chemistry board exam. I've wasted 4 days. It's almost like I'm not even afraid anymore. I've decided that I'll move out next year and will join offline coaching. I really want to change this.
Strength to you brother. I know it's very difficult to come out of addiction especially after the pandemic era. So, try detoxifying yourself with some offline activities. I hope that helps
Going through exact same situation
Can't help with this bloody addiction 😢
I can really understand you as each and every word of yours matches my situation
Your story is same like me brother
I relate to you i my also in same situation im a 11th grade student .... i am also addicted to social media i literally wasted my whole year ...
But now i am trying to be productive i deleted my intagram and for reels and shorts i installed a app called no scroll it is really helpful
just a small tip from my side. Even if you want to complete your whole syllabus in 1 year or 9 months or 4 months. It is possible. Believe me. Stop doubting and just start working. It is possible to complete. @@Vansh_ika792

And you are perfect example of that

Nah it's ironic really
😊 thanks
@@hanishkaisrani8844 u r ironic
along with many other youtubers
Indian people are blessed to have concerned citizens like you
Jai hind
The best decision of my life is to have
NO facebook acc
NO insta acc
NO netflix acc
NO amazon prime acc
NO tinder
NO X
All i have is only whatsapp , google acc and youtube to remain updated !!
Thats why i feel blessed😁
Samee😌
me also 🤗
Same I also don't have all that...
But is that needed in our future career,I mean that to connect or to talk to someone, is that necessary..... Or to say that to earn money,,like doing marketing etc....to earn more money and attention they all still need to post and advertise on social media/platform...Well it's just my thoughts 💬💭 I was just feeling like telling that😅 ...
At first I have only 3 message about my phone management and data and when I finished this very I have 0 message because I turned off all my notification 😊😊
Samee here and i am proud of that😊
I’ve changed 2 things in my life 1- I will not use my phone after waking up in the morning and second reading 2-4 pages before going to sleep.. and writing a journal..of gratitude changed my life and mind❤️ I feel more positive and happy.. I feel calm in many ways.. I use less phone like before…yeah I am winning in my own way…
After reading your comment I'll start it from tonight...
Thanks
I hope this will help me a lot... 😌
It's a very good thing
Great bro! Keep doing
i am addicted to my laptop but i want to remove my addication
at first take 1 simple step
Best line in this video...
"Aur yahi important baat aap tak pahunchane se mujhe faraq padhta hai"

Fun fact is He used that '8% people' thing to engage the audience, No one will want to be in 92% , he is using the same technique that TOXIC social media apps are using, but for USEFUL CONTENT :)
I INVESTED my 14 minutes , I'm proud, and iss video ko ek LIKE karne se, Mujhe pharak padta hai...!
Fax he use for good but also indicate that we are being used too
"Social media is the biggest blessing of our generation and yet the biggest curse of our generation at the same time"
a wise man
When I was 15(I'm 17 now) I turned off all notifications of my phone - Didn't matter even if I was missing out on important personal messages. To important people - I did mention it and in terms of emergency asked them 'don't hesitate to call'. Just turning off all notifications gave me extreme control on myself and freedom from looking for notifications to find an excuse to use my phone. Now I use my phone when I 'Need' and not when I 'Want'. I'm commenting this because I found some other useful comments to make me more efficient and I wanted to do the same for others. Hope this helps. Peace.
This level of maturity at 17 is rare. I'm 26 and yes your comment is helpful for me.
I'm 17 too and i did something like that too, I appreciate you!

खूपच महत्वाचे मुद्दे आहेत.. आणि छान पद्धतीने समजावून सांगितले आहे.. 👍
Ho, he CZcams channel best aahe mazya Mti ne
Kharch ❤
I stopped using Instagram and all other Social media apps since 2019 , and my life couldn’t have been better . Social media is nothing but an outlet for mindless time wastage.
I watch CZcams because i get valuable information from it and it is a learning based platform❤
Sometimes you can use it as a instant motivation 😁
Definitely a Uniform Decision! 👍
Ye bi addiction he ak chij ka 😅
मैं भी नहीं उपयोग करता।
CZcams is the only social media app in my phone
Usually I don't watch reels but sometimes watching 2-3 reels is not bad also I get bored after watching 2-3 reels
So I use CZcams for all purpose - For Learning and For Fun also
Because I don't want a specific app for Fun other than CZcams
CZcams is the only app I need for both learning and fun and Facebook,Tiktok are just Dump Cans
The biggest problem with the phone is the person holding the phone ---- I liked this line of speech.

The most sarcastic line: “content search karke dekhne mein vo maja kahan hai jo algorithm Bhagwan ke Prasad mein hai!" 🎯
When I initially started the video, I was like wahi ghisi piti baatein, dopmaine in anticipation, short attention span, but I am glad I clicked on this video because you actually went ahead of mostly available information and talked about real and mimetic desires, in today's world its very difficult to differentiate between them. A friend of mine received an award and felicitations and suddenly I also wanted to be that, it was pure mimetic desire, but sadly it took me so much time to understand this. We forget how different lives of two individuals can be, in 30 seconds of reel world we start comparing the results of someone's hard work and dedication with our own life results. I am grateful to you guys. Thanks!
Smart ladki ho fir 😊
This is 3rd month i leave Instagram Facebook Snapchat even watch CZcams for just 1 hour a day with alarm whats the change : i am feeling Happy and now free to think for just myself..❤
Same ❤
That goosebumps when abhi says "aur ye important bat aap tak pohochanese muze fark pdta hein”🙌
Yes bro.
I've uninstalled instagram and it was not that easy because I'm addicted to it but now everything is changed I'm more focused in everything and started reading novel..All i want to say is it was all worth it
great move!
I did the same thing i deleted the whole social media
@@FactisFact-wv7on Good bro. Do more productive works you'll definitely see improvements
I am a 15 year boy, studying in class 10th. when I first saw your videos. I was like - "There are people like me, who want right changes". When i saw your video about 'Education system', I told my parents that I do not want to be stressed, I want to be free.
TYSM FOR YOUR CONTENTS.🙏🙏
In the times of ADHD, i watched your full video without skipping even a second. Great job as usual.

Its been 2 months of 2024 and i have stopped using Instagram completely since 4th January , stopped using CZcams app , using CZcams in browser is very slow so it breaks my attention while loading.
And in browser youtube there are less shorts then app version so no distraction at all.
From last two months i am mostly watching videos with more than 15min length to increasing my attention span.
And honestly it’s really great feeling.
Removing Instagram from my life is best decision of my life.
stay hard 🤘
Bro stop history,then you will not be recommended short videos. And I found it and this was great because as soon as you open the youtube shorts come and then the same loop of mindless scrolling.
Sometimes we feel like doing nothing at home or simply sitting in peace is wrong or we are wasting time but I realised what a poor thought it was.
@@khushigupta580 exactly bro youtube kholte hi blank page aata h to distraction kam hoti hai seedha jo search karne aaye the wo karke jao lol
Thank you for this idea... I really wanted to get rid of yt shorts... Now I will try both ideas 💡🙏
Being a Neet Aspirant I had deactivated all my Instagram and Facebook accounts before 5-6 months
And believe me it helped me a lot in my studies
Focus levels 📈📈
I did take break from social media deactivating instagram and other apps and I was surprised to find that my mind is at peace and can actually focus on things that will help me grow in life. Using B&W screen actually helps thank you for making this video. Respect ❤ for educating everyone!!!
This is the best video I have seen. Few months back I had addiction to social media. I took couple of steps. I unfollowed unnecessary content creators and channels. In my phone I blocked notification of most apps, except important ones. Most of the time, I switch on ultra power saving mode so that notifications are delayed for most apps. Following this my phone usage was drastically reduced. Every Sunday I review my phone usage in that week and take corrective action to limit phone usage.
I left social media, especially facebook and Instagram during covid....and after watching this video, I think that's the best decision I have taken so far.
Great job 👏🏼👏🏼
This video addresses what I have been feeling for quite a few months. Glad to know I am not alone or hysterical about feeling these emotions and there are other people out there facing the same dilemmas. But on a heavier platform, I wish we can all reach a level of balance and unravel our true desires and goals soon, cause time doesn’t wait for anyone!
i am really proud of myself about the fact that in such an era where everyone is falling in this trap , my social media screen time remains 15 mins per day
No one can beat this line
"Muze farak padta hai"❤❤
I am a jee aspirant, past year when i completed my school I come to realize that to do something in life I need to focus on my goals... but I failed to do that and the main reason goes to DISTRACTION. I dont use insta,facebook or any other social media apps since 2022 but still I got distracted from my goal because of YT. Yeah I know it's kinda awkward but yes. youtube is a great platform but recently the shorts ruining it all,it makes you phobic towards things that you know you cant do or afford to make you feel like you need those things. Recently I uninstalled YT from my phone and only use it on pc and trust me I got myself focused again,videos like these are coming to my algorithm. now I am using the power of technology for good stuffs not to waste my potential..
huge thanks to abhi bhaiya to point out these small but huge mistakes of us.
I totally agree. 1 year back I had all my social media apps uninstalled for 4 months and believe me it was the most peaceful 4months. I didn't even realised how fast those days went by and guys being active on those apps or not, it hardly make any difference besides those days were better ones. I do realise the amount of toxicity in just scrolling and do try to avoid as much as I can. He's right Noticing our own activities is a crucial step. I hope this video reaches everyone.
9:53 to 10:14 Crystal Clear Explanation about the Time and grasping Content!!!
You people are amazing, no one can stop them self to watch this video till end, generally I am silent viewer every where but couldn't stop myself telling you this, keep it up guys, love you both for this hard & good work.

Feeling proud that I'm watching this channel continuously from last two years...
I'm watching from 6 month
To bkl mila kya teko
Bro This channel is GODI keep watching it....
Bhai ye log bi views ke liye yahi krte he jo videos me khud banaya he 😅😅
@@sachinsinghbohra1608exactly they're literally the most biased youtubers....instead Nitish Rajput is much better than these sanghis🤷🏻♂️ they made biased video on Savarkar and they haven't touched issues like Chandigarh mayoral election and Electoral Bonds and neither do they say anything against the selective crackdown of investigative agencies like ED, CBI and Income Tax dept on the opposition due to which BJP has been able to make MLAs switch to the ruling govt so that there's just one big party left🤷🏻♂️
Back in those days, people were peaceful and just living their life without teasing others and seeing others not teasing.
But today, it's changed. Almost everyone are in depression due to social medias.
Abhi himself being a social media influencer disclosed the dark reality of social media.. Hats off to you👍
I'm just so greatful to be stumbled upon a gold mine like this
My age is 20.
I am happily says that iam not from those who aadicted to Social media.
I don't have Insta, Snap, Twitter, or any other social media excep Whatsapp
And here only CZcams where only 2 channel are subscribed And turn off my watch history on youTube and thanks to CZcams for its new feature where shorts and other recommendations not come.
Mark my word guys it is really possible.
I don't think so after watching your channel
Your Right
But its all about 3 years ago, when first time phone comes in hand @@KrishnaYadav-
Thanks a lot the line "only 8% will watch it till the end" stopped me and it's worth mentioning, how it helped me to shape my social media uses.
I hate social media....but i love to be on youtube because of beautiful content creators like you.
Maine puri video dekhi … one suggestion m adding : I manually choose the notification settings .. I only get notification from Google, Banking , Mail and Maps rest all are off … very helpful 😅
Finally someone is talking about ' REAL ISSUES ' not about someone who is living outside of our country and telling us to whom we should vote.
Love you abhi sir and niyu maam 🫶
Thank you Abhi and Niyu for a wonderful video! Loved it, this video changed my life!❣
यह एक रिमारकेबल विडिओ हैं जीसे हर व्यक्ती ने देखना सुनना ओर अपनाना चाहिए....थैंक सरजी.....आपके विडिओ हमेशा ज्ञान वर्धक होते हैं..... ईश्वर आपकी हर मनोकामनाएं पुर्ण करें यही प्रार्थना करता हुं...हां एक ओर भी आशा करता हुं कि आपके विडिओ में अंग्रेजी के साथ हिंदी का भी दिशानिर्देश शब्दावली बस जाए तो अच्छा होगा... सद्गुरू जी धन्यवाद.... भारत माता की जय वंदे मातरम् जय हिंद जय महाराष्ट्र
I was not ready to watch the video with the caption provided.
I'm in my thirties and well aware of the pros and cons associated with it. But, I do understand that the youngsters are now on the phone here and there gasping for likes and sometimes social unacceptance.
Your Video Abhi is truly an eye opener as I have an example switching off his Insta after watching yor video. You r video has enriched people. Thanks to you.
5:34 You are absolutely right sir. This really happened with me and i just want to get rid of it.
I am preparing for IITJEE but social media distract me away from my goal and CZcams recommended your video.
After this video, i think i will be able to control my addiction and focus more on studies.
Will give an update after 3-4 months.
Eager to see your life update in a few months 💪🏼
This is one of the best channels on CZcams. Thank you so much.❤
I feel I am very lucky person at that point of time because in my fees this type of videos are always there for which can help me for growing...and focus on good thing for removing the distraction....I really very happy from my inner heart seeing this video....❤❤
Great concept
And isme batai hui baat mene bhi boht pehele hi approved karlia hai life me and I am living in mostly 60% of my life in spirituality
And most importantly and highlights things are I started to read books to do medidate less abusing and the last is stop using toxic social media because at past I also used to think that I used social media only for entertainment purposes only for timepass purposes but at the end of the day I left with fomo only like why my life is like this blah blah but after letting go social media I feel so much lighter before that burden of social media and today I am loving myself I am accepting myself
But all those credits goes to my bf because he was the only one who show me this path of my life and I really appreciate it very much and I really thanked to him , to you and to God because both of you guys really improved my life
And the one who is reading this comment It's my request to see the video till end and I hope you will found this video so helpful because I got so much relatable things in this video and I also want you to be in peace in this toxic environment
To be honest the type of content offered by @Abhi and Niyu is incomparable 🔥🔥🔥
In a digital world,You are what you watch.
Algorithm can tell a lot about a person ,not just their interests but their overall perception and personality 😊😊
One of the best articulated videos on Social Media !!

I actually never found your channel just because I'm aware how social media could be, so I don't use those much often, but finally you are on tech feed and you got one subscriber, good work you guys
Outstanding As usual !
Joy of missing out ( fav line ) - always said this to those who ask me why I’m not on social media!…away from the delusional world
Very true and well explained💯
The FOMO mentioned in the video is damn true. I feel this thing but never noticed social media was this big culprit for this. Thank you for highlighting. 😊
I'm already addicted but with your videos 😮❤
To fir Jaldi Godi media ka members ban jayoge 😂😂😂

Great video, I m using phone since last 10 years but was not knowing their is an option of digital well being in settings and i have started using it, and it have helped me a lot.
Very much necessary video to watch. Seriously we get exhausted and frustrated after being on social media for long... i feel stressed for no reason. and forget many things, loose my focus on my day today works too.
We support Dhroub sir,
The only reason why I turned off all the notifications.
Thanks for this brilliant video.
You are doing great in terms of spreading the awareness which is much needed nowadays.
You guys don’t know that how much you educate and motivate me !! Hope so you’ll make more videos like these🫶🏻♥️!! Lot’s of love from me..💌
One of the best videos holding one of the biggest problem of our life. Thanks for raising awareness on such an important topic. I hope to see more of such content here. Good work Abhi and Niyu
Watching a very good video after a long time. No bullshit. Pure logic and proper reasoning.
Well done!
@abhiandniyu social media is not toxic, it's your approach towards social media that how you use it, use it learn and grow instead of simply scrolling reels. You should know the way on how to use it for your benifit
Thank You Soo Much Abhi Bhaiyaa for this much important video🤞🏻..
Not telling only the problems but also for giving the solution as well💯..

2:05 maine sare apps notification off karke rakhe hai, jyada disturb na ho isliye
I fully agree with the core of this topic. I have been suffering from cognitive issues due to social media; post affecting with COVID; and I can vouch for that.
Being a mental health counselor i loved the way you have explained the dopmanie part. I have seen these is many cases that how we are getting addicted to the tiny screen but sadly, thats how social media works in such cases everything has positive and negative side but its like what you are feeding to your brain of you are feeding to your brain which is being provided by algorithms then your brain will shape up in such a way the more delayed gratifications you will give to your brain your attention span will get shorter as i have seen the same in kids these days. I feel training your brain in such a way will help you to develop an healthy mindset and well being.
sir a 12 year old boy living in delhi died due to school bullying this is a very serious issue because this has happened to me many times and the school staff goes like hi "what are you complaining like" and ignores it if told at home
This situation does not give much target what should i do please make guide video and justice for that boy
very informative video .. many young Genz are using social media full day and the result is they see lack of focus span in studying or learning new things, your video will definitely address to many youths and give them a valuable lesson
Behtreen👏🏼
