    I quit social media for 2 years straight once (and was using a flip phone by choice to help me stay offline) and it was the most social 2 years of my life. I did end up back online eventually and since then continued a pattern of quitting and getting back social media. I think I have reached my final straw now though. Quitting for life.❤

  • @PaxImbrium
    @PaxImbrium Před rokem +76

    Yeah, phone/internet addiction is one of the most common problems we face today I feel. It's so easy to check another short, another TikTok, another tweet and get that quick hit of dopamine. And if you are able to "unplug," then you still end up lonely because so much of our social interaction happens via social media these days. Shorts are the latest iteration of this, a one minute video doesn't seem like a big investment so you're more likely to sit down and watch it, but once you've watched one you're way more likely to watch another one because what's another minute? And then another and another and next thing you know it's half an hour later and you've spend it doing nothing but looking at the stupid rectangle in your hands waving your thumb on the screen.
    It's going to be rough trying to find a balance because companies aren't trying to make your life better, they're just trying to get you to watch more. Thanks for sharing this, it's going to become more and more of an issue and we're going to have to find solutions for ourselves.

    Yeah, in my experience, my texts with friends seem to send me back to my phone/electronic addiction the most (even when I delete my CZcams app, as it's the only social media app I use the most, as I end up addictively scrolling on CZcams through my browser apps instead). It doesn't help that some of the friends I have the most contact with live in another State away from me, or would heavily perpetuate my phone/electronic use (and being in my 30s, it's hard to find new friends in general that would not help perpetuate my phone use).

    I am glad that helped you. But,
    An addiction is a bad thing. If you do productive things on your phone and stay in touch with family and friends, it is not an addiction.
    You must always have a healthy short amount of time on your phone, but, no need for drama.
    Addiction, is not being able to do without it.
    Using , is knowing what to do with it.
