Thanks man! This is an amazing video.
Escaping social media is one of the best thing we can do. We really can see who are the true people in our lives, Those followers seems like our friends but they are not really they don't even know whether we are okay or not.. While struggling inside we just post fake smiling photos and waiting for fake likes.. Once you escaped this , you feel peace, no comparing, no waiting, that freedom is everything. 💕👏
very well said, I completely agree. thanks for taking the time to stop by
Couldnt agree more with that!! I have been off social media(Facebook, Snapchat & Instagram) for a littlr over two years now. The minute I removed those apps from my phone(hadnt deleted my accounts at that time) I instantly felt this wave of peace and a weight lifted off my shoulders. Social media is so toxic and so destructive. Yes, it has its perks but nowadays it's such a destraction. Heard one person say for those people who see newborn pictures of their baby in a hospital, while everyone's just gonna like the pictures and move on with their scrolling, it's more impactful to reach out to those people and help them with their this new chapter in their lives, like congratulating them with diapers, formula, baby toys, ect. That means more than just a Facebook like. Again tho, life without social media is so much better and so much more personal and private.

Social media messes with people’s heads , destroys relationships , people become so numb , no more human interactions. It sucks….
Props to the people like you who stay in the real world and try to do good for it.
God bless you brother

thanks for the kind words saul, much appreciated
I’m almost 21 and I quit social media 3 months ago. Ngl I still use Pinterest and CZcams but it has given me so much free time for myself. I’m more at peace with myself than I was before I quit social media. Great video!
so glad to hear that! thanks for the support, and keep focusing on yourself :)
I really don't think CZcams is that bad if you consume good content like this and creators who inspire you , I use it to but I have a rule I can only see video about self improvement and valuable content like this . usually more than ten minute videos and podcasts
@@eyu854no overconsuption of anything is toxic. If we constantly watch productive videos we will end up questioning ourselves or else we would feel productive just because we watched the video that was productive. Without taking any action .
Me too, you just begin to value little things
update: it’s been more than a year now and my life is much better without social media. Constant unnecessary information and dopamine hit is toxic for your mind and body! so glad i quit last February
Funny enough I deleted instagram and snapchat around a year ago and found it also made me more happy and also made me more humble to what I have and not wishing I had things other people had because I now know other people dont have what I have :)
huge facts bro glad to see you on the other side shae
“Life is about what you are addicted to “ u said it on point ⏺️
I'm 38 and realized I can't stomach that shyt anymore. I'm tired of having digital relationships. Since getting off it, feels like a MASSIVE Weight has gotten off my chest. Less anxiety
so glad to hear that :)
For months I’ve been trying to articulate the feeling of being away from social media and helping people understand the nuance that we’ve created that’s destroying a lot of peoples time and energy, through my videos. This video is the perfect representation. Your very honest and transparent about the emotions you receive from using it, and this is by far the best video I’ve seen. It really is the relatable in terms of what our generation feels deep down but sadly a lot are too scared to admit recognize or are just are too hooked to see the algorithm they’re stuck in. You have my sub bro, keep working💯
bro I can't believe I just saw this but your comment means the world to me -- i'm so glad this video can do that for others...
I just saw a couple of your vids too, keep up the creativity and work out there 😤
@@noahtherockstar i appreciate it bro‼️
Quitting social media was honestly one of the best decisions I ever made for my mental health and emotional wellbeing. At first, I was skeptical, fearing I'd miss out or feel disconnected. But stepping away from the constant noise, comparison, and validation-seeking, I found a profound sense of peace and clarity. These my life is filled with genuine connections, meaningful experiences, and uninterrupted focus on personal growth. If you're contemplating a social media detox, I highly encourage you to give it a try. You might be surprised by the positive impact it can have on your life. Trust me, the freedom is life changing.
This is my first week without social media. And I will keep going. Let’s all escape from internet and be a good human
good luck out there :)
I've also been on a journey of deleting social media....Thanks for the vid!
good luck on that journey never stop improving 😤
i was never on social media, only discord and youtube mostly, if you even call those social medias. i had reddit and twitter, but decided to get rid of them because there was no point.
life is so much better when you focus on yourself. i had a friend that i would invest so much time and energy into, constantly making plans just for them to not go through with it, or reaching out to say hello all the time for it to just be a one sided conversation. it hit me that this was such a bad friendship to invest time and energy into when i realized out of a whole year, they only reached out to me first 3 times, and those were all for homework answers. i havent cut them off now, but just dont ever talk to them unless they talk to me first because i see no point in that. i felt better immediately after that, having time to think about my own needs and what i want.
life is short, and i try to make as many people happy as i can. i want to make peoples days better, just like you noah. thank you for this, speaking openly about life. i hope you have a fabulous day! :D
that's great to hear cheesi - i'm glad you learned this early on because it will benefit you sooo much throughout your life :P keep inspiring!
you don't realize how toxic social media is, and how dysfunctional your way of thinking becomes in so many ways until you've eliminated them. The problem with this is bigger than ourselves. The problem is that there are literally billions of people in the world just like this. I seriously think that social media is going to bring about an involution in human culture and many other aspects.
indeed my friend, indeed.
What you said about nature really hit home . . . . little things like a clear sky or a cool looking tree could really make the difference in having a good day. It's helped me to be more grateful, and to not take the simple pleasures in life for granted.
love to hear that, stay positive out there
Glad to hear your life experiences and your advises, I'm a teen and I think your vids have actually kinda guided me and made me aware of stuff, thanks a lot would love to see more videos about you hanging out with your friends, doing shit and just being yourself
thank you bro means the world to me
good luck bro don’t get stuck in what i’m stuck in. Worst mistake i’ve ever made and now i’m having to fight through it to make myself happy
Thank you for this video. I deleted Tik Tok in october of 2020 and never redownloaded it again. After watching this video, insta got deleted too 🤙🏻. It‘s hard as a teenager without social media, but it feels so much better! I pursue many of my hobbies each day instead of slumping around and scrolling through social media after school. Thank you ❤
so glad to hear this julia! glad our lives crossed paths and this video could help you a bit :)
This was beautiful, I'm glad you came to that realization. I'm so happy for you because I see people on there wanting to be heard and valued so bad not knowing they are valuable just as they are. Great video
thank you this means a lot
DUUUUDE ur so eloquent!!! loving how ur articulating the lessons u’ve learned & thank u for sharing them w us :)) this is something that everyone knows but sometimes we forget. thanks for the reminder!
awhh thanks kt !! imma do my best to help and inspire people on this channel :P
Glad to see that this happened to you. Now its my goal to go from what you were like to being more happy for myself and branch out to meet new friends and have more of a social life which I miss having
hell yeah bro love to hear that
Really good and relatable video ;) I deleted instagram and Tik Tok a few months back. I was glued to my phone at the time, constantly comparing my life to all these other people thinking they have “made better memories than me”, lost my attention span and couldn’t even sit and read more than 10 pages of a book without jumping back on the phone. Also the unexplainable unhappiness/ ungratefulness and lack of motivation that would hit out of nowhere. Lost my interest in reading/ art as I couldn’t even get the concentration to enjoy it. I have gotten so used to not owning these apps anymore that I can focus on my reading (I can read up to 30 pages a day now). I focus on my own life and have a lot more gratitude and make more of an effort with people. I also feel so much more connected to people through meeting up with them in person rather than checking up on them on a Tik tok comment section. If you are thinking of deleting social media, go for it! It’s hard at first adjusting to the change, but it’s the most brilliant feeling being off it and one of the best decisions I have made
very well said, so glad to hear :)
Thanks man, very inspiring for the younglings. Keep it up
will do sir
i wish you are like this and stay like this ❤️ as a person who also departed from all social medias , i find people like you are truly inspiring and motivated and rising the awareness of how social medias are draining and such drugs that cause us to be addicted to it and ruined our lives especially our mental health . people also love to overshare everything shamelessly , embarassing themselves , family or everyone else and people on social medias are mosly toxic and love to spread negativity and cause people to view this world and other humans in a very negative way too 😒. people like you are what we are looking for to encourage us to start a better life w/o social medias and start focusing on ourselves and family ❤️ thank you! i hope you will be the best inspiration for people out there who are still doubtful and scared to leave social medias for the sake of their own mental health , mind/mindset and even future ❤️ keep updating us about how you n your life have been 🙌🏻
thank you for the kind words, this means the world to me
Great advice. I've been free from Social Media for 6 days, and I feel great without social media. I always spend my time by reading story books and newspaper. I realize that I waste my time a lot, just scrolling people's pages just want to see what they are doing
great to hear, keep up the work !
W noah, this will definitely inspire teens like me and other people to keep themselves happy
thank you jay means a lot bro
Thankyou Noah your vlog is good inspiration..you have so much wisdom wish you upload more like this
thank you! more coming soon :P
This helped me through my emotions and helped me understand why I don't need social media in my life
privacy is so important and just being yourself. social media has so many filters and you never know what is real or not. i’m 23 years old and i just wanna live life. life is hard, but you have to make the most of it.
well said my friend
I been off social media for over a year now, and have no intentions about going back to it.i never did twitter or instagram just facebook and i realized it just wasnt for me, i like to live in the moment and have a private life, i see no reason to put my life on the internet. You actually miss out on life by dedicating your time on social media. I only just use youtube now only for music. But you will see how much life is better being private & off the radar.
So happy for you, I'm also thinking of quitting because it has become addictive and also messes with my head. But i see hope so I'll do it for real now
What an inspiration!!! TYY we needed this for future generations!!!!❤❤❤ 2023 les geitttt
thank you this means the world
I love this video. This is what I intend on doing in 2024. I got rid of Twitter and never did the Tick Tock thing so hopefully next year I can spend time on myself and family ❤
Your storytelling skills are what draw me to your videos. ❤❤but the message makes me stay
awhh thank you
Love this video! I would delete social media from time to time and those were the times I was the most happiest
so glad to hear that :P
You're doing great, Bro. Thanks for making this video!
appreciate the support fr man !!
Hey, great video!! I'm trying to get out of social media, it isn't easy but your video encouraged me. Thank you!
good luck with your journey! thanks for the support
I admire you so much. For me, it's so hard to quit. Even tho I've been wanting to for years now
what a beautifully crafted video, keep it up! ❤
thank you !
I think I feel better and more happy not using social media (except YT) than to use social media, because from the first few days when I use other social media platforms like insta, fb and whatspp, my anxiety levels have started rising unlike when I use YT for almost 4 years.
glad to hear that, keep up the self-reflection :)
I wish CZcams has VN fitur so I can be able to express all my thoughts about this great video. Good job, Buddy!
Noah, this video is very very inspirational
thank you my bro kman means a lot
I'm 18 ... I deleted social media two months ago ، And I will keep it deleted forever.
My life has become better, and my thoughts have become more expansive and creative.
I'm also starting to see how people use this curse...they're really dope!
There's nothing worse than spending your life on social media .
There is nothing better than deleting it✨.
so glad to hear this, stay up there :P
@@noahtherockstar 💗✨
I feel that a lot of people can connect to your vibe. Many can relate to this. It would be good if you can continue same vibe at periodic time gap.
aye I appreciate that, I definitely will in the near future :P
I'm clean 5. years. Keep it up! Live for yourself!
nice! you're inspiring :)
That's incredible! Going on 2 years now and I gotta say, life is so much more peaceful and private without social media. I dont ever plan to go back on social media
@@XeRo333same, I rlly got so much peace and no regrets at all
Thank you!
Bro I’m so inspired
ahah glad i could help
Such a valuable video ❤
means a lot
inspiring! nice to meet you in youtube ^^

Beautiful!!!
Amazing video!! Congrats
thank you :) means the world !
Underrated but beautiful💕
thank you
True people ,true connections ,Connection is the key for a good living combined with health
indeed my friend, well said
Love the punchline 🎉
Inspiring video 🙌🏼
thank you bro all luv
Life is really joyful without social media. 😊
indeed it is :)
I like this song in background.
Great video! You are a very intelligent young man! I really enjoyed watching this and listening to your thoughts. You talked about only having one life to live and wanting to make it the best you can. My question for you is, have you thought about what comes after this life? What is the point of all this? I’d love to send you an amazing book that will change your life. Not sure if you read but if possible I’d like to send it to you
thank you! I have thought about afterlife and what happens, but choose to focus on the present moment and the blessed life I have now :)
@@noahtherockstar Well Noah, we never know when this awesome life God has given us will end, and we have the time we are blessed with now to change our course for eternity. If no one has told you yet… God is real, He loves you, your sin separates you from Him. Sin brings death and because of Gods love He sent Jesus to die for your sins so you can have eternal life. Not sure if you’ve heard that before but this world is wrapping up and the sand of time is running out to receive Jesus as your savior. Some channels to check out would be living waters by Ray Comfort and Cross Examined. You are a brilliant young man and I sure hope to see you in heaven someday
very true stuff frfr
yeeee thank you my brotha
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my CZcams channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 652 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
hell yeah bro appreciate the support
@@noahtherockstar Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say based on your posts and profile that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my CZcams channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a CZcamsr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this CZcams thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
appreciate the words my man it means the world.
it's because of people like you I keep working on these videos every day to inspire others the same way I was during the beginning of my self-improvement journey. glad you're here to keep that energy. much luv
For three years I haven't known anything about people in Instagram or any other social media. I downloaded Instagram yesterday, nothing has changed. It's the same old vanity fair. I'll stay like this 😊
glad to hear this, keep staying up 😤
look at noah man, so inspirational
ahahah ty ty :P
Love this, sending to my niece
thank you! glad to hear my message shared through a family :)
Thsnk you for sharing!
thanks for the support
THis is my 20th day without social media. I don’t think I’m gonna go back😁
so glad to hear that!!
Iam 6 years without media ,and I have done so many things for myself ,iam full of energy and the people are astonished..it is simple .so many useless informations ,we cannot everything absorb
woah literall goosebumps but the good kind :)
ahahah thank you :P
loved the ending 😂
thank you ahahaha
only facts were spoken in this video.
hell yeah :P
I'll do it
legend
yermmm
💜💜💜💜
damn ... we must say he have amazing video making skills
thank you!
Deleted everything today kept CZcams and Pinterest. Don’t want to waste my 20’s in this rabbit hole.
People forgot to enjoy the moment, forgot to talk to each other in real life
keep up that mindset 😤
Bro im just deleted all social media platforms, these sucks
I try my life without social media for one weak but after one my consistency start breaking and i feel low so tell me a solution to keep my self consistent with no use of social media
Spend a lot of time on social media. And only have time to work and sleep, maybe pick up my PS5 controller on the weekends. Also I don’t know how much working 3rd shift is hurting me, but the time I do have I spend scrolling. Don’t know what I would do if I wasn’t on social media
think about your time here and the impact you want to make on the people around you.. I know work is tough and you gotta make ends meet, but stay up and find a light at the end of the tunnel!
I try my life without social media for one weak but after one weak my consistency start breaking and i feel low so tell me a solution to keep my self consistent with no use of social media
I want to be the very best... 😅😅♡
I quit social media last year and feel so much peace and less drama lol
Is it okay if i challenged my self to delete my social media like Instagram in 30 days ? because i was suffering with overthinking, low self esteem and comparing my self to others. since i used Instagram
that's a great challenge to do! you'll definitely notice the difference without things like instagram in your life :)
Do it! I did a 30 day challenge and after that 30 days I checked social media and saw nothing important was there. I was a day or two over 30 days when I noticed it was 30 days, then I challenged myself for 100 days and I deactivated or deleted all my accounts, now two years later I'm much better than I was before! Do it! Challenge yourself and live your life like how you want to live it, not my other people's expectations based off the postes they see👍🏼
@@XeRo333 alright, i will do it. thank you so much for your advice and your positive feed back. God bless you 🙏
Did you just delete your account cold turkey? Ive gone a couple of months without instagram and i felt so free. Then I thought wow I feel so much better now I can re download it, and the addiction kicked in again. I want to delete it because I know it will be good for me but bringing myself to actually do it is the hardest for me. Should I just delete it or ween myself off??
I started with just deleting the app from my phone, but kept re-downloading it and decided I needed to go all out and delete my account. that's when I really felt the effects and fully free. my life changed so much for the better, and I wouldn't be where I am now. trust me, you won't miss it.
you got this, deleting it will be okay! :)
Por favor, activa los subtítulos en español 🙏🏽🙌🏽
I'm only on CZcams,Spotify and Pinterest and it's so peaceful for me
welcome to the light side :)
Plz
What camera is this?
And how you edited this 💕💕
I used a sony zv-1 to film this video, and premiere pro to edit :P
@@noahtherockstar ty 💕
Bro just got internet and am done with sleep away camp!
hell yeah bro welcome back hope you had fun !!
I deleted all my social media and idk I felt so much better after I did that I think I will stay off from all social media for a long time.
glad to hear this! stay up out there 😤
I just uninstall my socials today. The goal is to be without them for next year.
you got this !!
But what should i do with this people ?? Like they think im weird and there is something going on with me thats why i quit social media , some of my friends also called me attention seeker just because i msged them that i was deleting my social media , i msged them just to inform them that I'll no longer recieve their msgs and all , I'm soo tired of explaining....
Noaaahhhhhh
yooo
What we mean by "social media" here is not CZcams. CZcams is more like a learning and entertainment platform. We mean the usual ones where people post pictures and videos of themselves such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter and the likes.
U r great
ahah thanks
The life in 70s, 80s and 90s ans till 2010 was beautiful after that the smart mobile and social media cam out and destroy the people.
frrr
I deleted my facebook and Instagram 7 years ago..... and i only have whatsapp and CZcams...
Great video, pls reduce background music though, can't hear you
dually noted :)
and thank you for the support
Okay my one like hit to 1k🎉
appreciate you !!
I'm glad I deleted social media in 2021
im stuck in france pls help
oh man plane got cancelled or something??
@@noahtherockstar nah my parents took me here and theres absolutely nothing to do
i shouldnt have been such a stupid child commenting stuff like this :(
but you are on youtube though...how is that any different?
I use youtube for different reasons that I used instagram and snapchat. youtube is more of an inspiration / creation platform for me, while other social media was nothing like that :)
Because some people just use it for music and videos. That's the only thing I use it for, I don't have no social media platforms at all.
🙏🏻🙏🥹
God loves you man, he sent his son to die for you so that you can have eternal life bro, you can choose to make a decision I don’t fully understand it my self but I do know that God loves you enough to send his son to die for you so that you can have a intimate relationship with him
CZcams is social media right?
Yes it is multi video platform.. you could say all-rounder .. & it gives info.. not personal life.. but sad reality youtube also turning into social media stuff these days.. better decrease the screentime though
