      I'm wondering if our brains cannot or struggle to handle too much human contact. I certainly know that back in the hunter gatherer days humans only had contact with about 20 other people in their lifetime. Maybe we are being unrealistic in wanting to connect with everybody

My brain has a much potential, I have so much potential and ability to think and do things, I’m not a stupid person but these apps just make me unable to think. Our brain needs to be used always, that’s how we grow, we need exposure to new things so that we can form connections and memories. Never going back, I can’t control myself. It just makes me sad that I could of spent so much time learning and reading instead of scrolling. Also turning everything to grayscale.

    i deleted tiktok 12 days ago after getting fed up with being on it constantly. like even when i was watching tv shows on my laptop, i’d open tiktok and watch tiktoks while the show was playing?? so i wasn’t even able to fully focus on either of those things and tiktok already messes with focus on its own! rn i’m restricted to my room because of a health condition and i still can’t even do much in here, so being on my phone/computer is really the only thing i can do. i’ve been trying to replace tiktok with youtube videos at least (although i know it’s hard when there’s youtube shorts too). i’m trying to get my brain re-used to longer forms of content and actually watching stuff i *want* to watch vs. pointless, short videos that send you into a mindless scroll. maybe that can be a transition for you too if you’re having a hard time? i’m liking it so far and don’t feel the need to redownload tiktok. i always tried to justify keeping tiktok as having access to creativity and beauty, people’s stories, news, funny videos, finding people like me, etc., but in reality, life would be better without it.

    Legit girl! this is is an add!ction to social media. I went through the exact same thing and unfortunately the only thing that snapped me out of it was a car accident. That made me look at my life more critically and although I've made great strides in bettering myself, there are some days that I slip into old "habits". But not to the degree of what it was.
    The situation is never going to change by itself but by recognizing that you want to better yourself is the first step. And always remember you are not alone in taking that first step. Journaling, silencing notifications, and delving into hobbies is the best way to slowly become detached and I wish you all the best of luck on your journeys! ❤

    Something that has been helping me a lot is being way more specific with the goals. For example, if i want to spend less time on social media i would set a weekly goal in which every day i would only be on a social media app for 50 minutes, and if i am able to complete at least 6 days of that the following week the daily goal would be 45 min.
    When setting the goal to nourish my body I would set things like: drink water first thing in the morning at least 5 days that week, eat a fruit at least 4-5 days, and on and on.
    You have to be specific (even in the dumbest things) and start little by little, otherwise you'll fail in a grandiose task and would give up. That used to happen to me, i was setting unrealistic goals for my brain. I was writing things like "workout everyday" when i wasn't used to working out, so it was obvious i would fail. Later on, my goals was to workout at least 10 minutes three times a week.
    Hope this helps 🙌🏼

      I've started to try and make youtube a tool. When I watch something, I try to learn something from it and write it down. A really awesome quote I learned that I've started saying to myself throughout the day is, "Will it make the boat go faster?" There is a story behind it and I recommend you looking into it but essentially, when you are faced with a difficult decision, should I scroll the internet for 2 hours or should I make a nice meal and read a book, which one will make the boat (your happiness and mental well-being) go faster? Should I eat this sugary snack even though I've already indulged today, or should I make a more conscious decision? Will it make the boat go faster?

      Thanks for replying. The boat analogy does make sense! It’s cool that you’re switching to educational content at least when you’re consuming content. Maybe audio books could be something to try also. I also want to consume more content related to my profession that I want to grow in instead of mindless content that I’ve gotten attached to. I realized that I haven’t been in a growth mindset in a long time and that’s caused me to have been stagnant in a lot of my goals since Covid pretty much. I also got diagnosed with adhd and have been finding ways to fuel my motivation outside of traditional productivity advice and that’s been great. Anyway nice to see someone else out there working hard at getting unstuck.

I only have one old laptop other than my phone (I just don't need technology like that on the daily), and I think using different device for entertainment other than my very convenient, always with me phone, would help a lot with mindless scrolling. Cause then going on laptop (or any other device) would feel more like a task rather than mindless opening of apps. I did try grey scale, app timers, it's no use. Making it harder to access is best I think. Out of sight out of mind kind of thing. I'm just a bit scared to log out, you know?

Tbh, I am still struggling with getting rid of this awful habit but it's hard. I've tried setting rules for myself, for example: use Instagram no longer than 1 hour, put away your phone when going to bed, no phone in the morning etc. I also tracked my progress and it was fun for a few weeks but after that I just completely lost any motivation to continue. I also tried deleting apps and yeah what can I say, I am still using Instagram and Facebook on the internet browser. And I love CZcams so much I don't want to delete it. Sometimes when I start watching it I can go on for couple of hours and then forget what I have just watched. I just don't know what else I can do because anything that I've tried worked for a short period of time. I feel like I have not enough self-control. Idk, maybe now when I have more free time as I graduated high school I will be able to focus more on this problem and lower my usage of social media somehow.

    I’ve been feeling this exact same way. Short form content also killed my attention span worse than it already was. I have trouble remembering things cause my brain is so used to only paying attention to something for 10 seconds then refreshing to pay attention to something completely different. I feel so stupid now. I’ve been trying to remedy this by reading more and watching movies to lengthen my attention span as well as doing hobbies like knitting. I try to watch CZcams if i want to watch videos because they’re longer and i usually gravitate towards educational videos about subjects I’m interested in like historical fashion and chemistry. I also make sure that if I decide to use TikTok that i must spend some time in the STEM column so I’m learning something. I’ve been intentionally doing things to exercise my brain like sudoku puzzles and i think that’s been helpful as well. I can say my attention span and memory is getting better and better as time goes on. Thank you for posting this I’m glad I’m not alone ❤

    This has been my problem for as long as I can remember, especially growing up with parents who let me on the internet at an extremely young age. I think what makes it difficult is that these habits have been with me for as long as I have been alive, like it’s really all I know so breaking those habits is restarting all over. I just keep thinking of all the accomplishments and good experiences I could have if I didn’t have this problem. It got to a point where this year I finally had enough and just like you I deleted all my social medias and put it on my iPad, which I only ever pick up on the weekend. It’s horrible and a lot of work and I still find myself scrolling all day sometimes, but I can say with 100% certainty that it’s worth it. I had so many amazing experiences this year and I’m so glad I was fully there and present for it all. Anyways, just wanted to share my journey with all this and I wanna wish you luck because I know you can do it!!!

    I think genZ collectively will start using the internet less soon. Maybe. Or maybe it’s hopeful thinking… But I think young genZ will collectively feel like they’ve had enough of scrolling and they want to go out and live life instead.

    A lot of what you’re describing are the symptoms of the issues that Jaron Lanier discusses in his book “ten arguments to delete your social media right now”.
    If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. It’s an eye opener! It’s not a large book by any means; a very quick and informative read. I think it would help you understand what you’re feeling on a whole other level! 👍
    And good luck on your journey. Nice video!

    Honestly I also think Covid had a huge part in this. Because we had soo much extra free time, social media became the main part of our day and I think it was then that myself and a lot of people fell into the trap of scrolling for so long without even realising how much time was being wasted. All those bad habits have stuck around and gotten worse overtime.

    The best approach to change is little by little. Not to just jump into it all in, or nothing. It’s like going to the gym. You start by doing what you can at a rate that is tolerable. Eventually, you start doing a little more than you’re already used to because you’re too comfortable with the easier stuff. Then you start doing progressive overload a month, or two later. Next thing you know, you’re a powerlifter two to three years in and you’re able to see how far you’ve come. Do what you can when you can in the moment it’s given to you. Don’t look to far ahead of your goals that you only focus on the future. The best way to take the steps to completing those goals are mostly in the now. Take your time, don’t rush the process.

    I would say start deleting apps week by week like : Facebook - CZcams- tiktoc and so on. Only keep the apps you need for your daily life like : paying bills - you can buy things here & there off Amazon. But don't post any pics of where you were at , going . My thing is buying a book or writing a journal. You don't need to go online to let the world about your journal.

    With the goals; You need to set specific measurable goals with a timeframe.
    "spend less time on social media" is vague.
    Spend 0 minutes per day/Spend a maximum of 1 hour per week are more specific timely goals.

    • @keithparker1346
      @keithparker1346 Před měsícem

      I would add that make goals at the start brain dead and easy to achieve. The aim is not really about the goal itself but getting you into a goal setting and achieving mode. Once that's established for a few weeks...make goals a little challenging...don't go OTT though as wild unachievable goals will probably depress you. Praise yourself for setting trying and achieving goals. Don't beat yourself up if you fail. You can always try again.
      On goal setting do not be concerned what other people think of your goal. They don't know what your circumstances are and how much that's a challenge for you. For example, I'm not keen on heights so I said I'd ride the cable car that goes across the Thames in London. That probably seems pathetic for some people but it was a little daunting for me. I did it. I wasn't comfortable but I did it. I certainly would not go bungee jumping or parachuting as that's a step too far for me

    Delete the apps and erase the saved password.

    It´s so crazy how many of us are feeling so related to this video, we really are trapped into this fantasy of "short happiness" that the scroll give us , its exhausting fr , a 24 hrs day turns into a 4 hours of productivity , and the rest its me trapped in social media , avoiding responsabilities , procastination at its peak , not working out , etc.
    Trying to get myself back cause i feel i´ve washed off everything i was (dont know if im explaining myself right) assuming how far behind i am in my college application work its a living nightmare , all because i let myself sink in this social media thingy , i regret it so bad
    tk the lord for me to start realise this before its too late or id be turning into those guys from wall-e hahah
    hopefully i wont give up into this journey im just starting of this social media detox.

    I did the same exact thing beginning of May. I was so tired, my brain was literally fried, my screen time was insane and I knew what I was doing was harming my brain but I couldn’t stop scrolling….immediately I got off tik tok after like six hours I just deleted it…I didn’t even want to convince myself about keeping it cause of my drafts, or I’ve saved so many useful tips…i just pressed delete app.
    And I’ve never seen such a drastic change in mental health, social life…I feel so free
    And I love that people are starting to realize how harmful it is and I love how you were able to admit to yourself that it was bad for you without trying to excuse yourself.
    I love your video🫶🏾
