More often than not, you meet negative people which in turn makes you feel down about yourself because your subconsciously comparing your life to theirs when you don't even know what's actually going on behind the scenes
@@fabs2777 although it is a social media, I feel like CZcams can be used in a better (or less harmful) way than the other ones, although there are contents in short form like this that are the worst ones for you, you can also watch less stimulating things (long, unedited videos, for example a lecture or an audiobook). I would say that it can be a good tool as long as you watch out for what you're consuming
I'm tired of wasting my life on a screen. Social media was the only thing that has been keeping me from reaching my goals and priorities. Never again will I compare my life to somebody else's because that's when you feel down about yourself social media may make people's lives look all sunshine and roses all the time, but you don't know what's actually going on behind the scenes. Make this make sense.
I was a huge gamer as a kid and i noticed nowadays to get through a game feels like a chore. I never used to be like this. Gotta make the change. Good luck to all of you trying to kill these addictions.
I’d highly reccomend hamza to y’all, he talks about video game addiction and how to quit and stuff like that, stopping instant gratification activities
I moved away from social media and now I spend more time with family they don’t judge me they just accept me. I’m more happier now. Of course I tried social media everyone did but now it’s just stupid. I can’t even talk to people now with out seeing a phone infront of their face. People need to find a hobby other than their phone.
You can do it. I quit using Insta and Facebook a few years ago, and I was afraid it would have a negative impact on my life, but it definitely did not. I'm closer with the more important members of my social circle and family now, and I can enjoy my own hobbies more without feeling the need to share progress constantly. It's so worth it to quit.
I’m the same way I noticed as soon as I quit the social media I became more happy and closer with my family which I’ve enjoyed being with. I’m hardly on my phone at all there’s nothing I need to check unless someone texts me or calls me.
This is so true. I was really addicted to Tik Tok and other social medias for a long time and I began to feel really down, didn’t enjoy movies I used to love, couldn’t concentrate, was always scrolling on my phone and was not productive at all. Having said all this, I didn’t find joy in drawing in which I used to love to do when I was in the house. I deleted it a few days ago and hopefully will build up the courage to delete all social media.
I took the time I wasted in social media and put it back into productive things. I finally finished building my car I was putting off I refinished my benches I built from scratch with recycled wood. I finished a few video games and watched a few movies I wanted to see. I never noticed how much social media takes up your time it’s a big time waster.

This makes so much sense. I've been thinking about how on social media we can see so many different things in just a few minutes, that's so toxic for our brain in long term. I've noticed I can't concentrate anymore to watch a 10-minute video on CZcams, even if it's about something I really like.

Yes social media is a huge problem now. If evolution happens , it will be for our eyes in future. CZcams shorts is a bigger problem. Thank you Sir , for realising us the importance of social media addiction.
I haven’t used social media in over 10 years I use to have fb but it stopped there because it was ruining my relationship at the time fb was super popular. I haven’t turned back since and it kind of even feels a bit empowering to not have it.
I was never big into social media until the pandemic hit, and I got tik Tok and started spending a lot more time on IG and what not. My attention span was getting so bad so I deleted everything about 3 months ago. I’m only just now starting to have my attention back to normal.
Same here.. once the pandemic hit, I felt lonely, got addicted to social media and constantly sought attention. Now that I've quit for a year I've never felt so much happier and have appreciated the present moment.
I recently quit social media and I’m so glad that I did, it’s made me calmer, less anxious and has given me way more happiness than when I used Instagram.
Yes. I used to love games and movies. But after I got my own phone and social media, gaming wasn’t fun anymore and also I couldn’t even watch a 2.5 hours movie. Cause my life was already a scrolling machine. Now I quit social media and I’m enjoying my life as before. I am also making progress on my studies. Hope all of us can lead a simple and happy life like before❤

Rob, there is always advice on WHY you should quit. But I think a lot of people struggle with HOW to quit. How do we actually take action on your advice and keep ourselves ACCOUNTABLE? Many times people watch your self-help videos, but go on to do the same detrimental things as always. Please make a video on this, thanks a lot.
Set up a timer for each app and reduce it day by day. Find some activities to do instead of wasting time on social media. I know its hard. I'm wasting 4 hours on average on Insta, CZcams & Reddit. I have only just begun bettering myself.
U know what I was a reel addict and always watched reels but when I realised one day that it's Ruins our life then I went out from the house like 2 months after that fresh air was so relaxing and when I played outdoor game it was an amazing experience I advice that stop 🛑 watching social media It can change ur life if u r under 20 then it is the best advice I can give 😊
At least CZcams has educational videos and personal interest videos that can actually teach you something valuable, it can be bad too doing too much of it, but still the least damaging of all the social media.
Leave your cell phone at home as you drive to town or to go shopping. Just being in your car without your phone brings you back into normal reality. No stress. Otherwise you are connected even when not using it.
Why ?, I might need my phone if I have some car trouble etc, it's better to just delete social media al together, I only keep CZcams with no notifications because it has educational videos.
This is True Because I Personally Experienced That When I Use More and more social Media For No reason My Concentration ,Focus , Visalization ability , I Feel Lost And I Wont To Enjoy Every Thing But I Cant ..
Exactly, I agree and all the reasons are true. If I want to incorporate myself in any work I can and while watching a movie it bores me. Exactly, i feel I should quit using it. Thank you sir for clearing my doubts.
I probably wouldn't quit social media, but I would take a few days off sometimes. I think that's the best thing in doing it that way, especially when it comes to your mental health.
I've cut down significantly. I avoid going on social media nowadays. But I go in small doses. But I mostly use to post life updates and message people.
Lately, I've been struggling to find enjoyment in anything. I spend hours scrolling aimlessly and can't seem to muster any interest in playing games. I feel sluggish and unmotivated when I do try to play.
Thank you for opening up my eyes. I always knew this but this video was the reminder that I needed. I might leave social media and the internet forever but I Subscribed to your channel on the way out. 👍
And it's really no surprise that people's attention span has reduced _drastically._ It's because we get everything ASAP, and we're used to not having to wait. So now, when we *have* to wait or focus on one thing for a longer period of time, we get impatient and frustrated. This is a problem - that at least minimising sm can help or even fix (at least to some extent).
@@gregoryponds6745 yes, thats exacty why you dumbnut lol, anything that is going to be instantly gratify you and giving you instant pleasure is gonna keep you from your goals
Personally, whenever I feel like I lost touch with reality or that I’ve been comparing myself to others too much.. I take a break from social media by deleting the apps for a week or two. Do this and you’ll actually feel your mental health improving and you will enjoy life more.
I have no friends and the only acquaintances I have are very active on social media. I used to be big into art music and gaming and now I can barely focus on a video game for more than 5 minutes. I want to quit, but I feel like I'll cut off any ability to make friends if I do. And I want to post my art online eventually. How do I go about this?
Just deleted tiktok and got this guy on my YT, cutting down the exposure whilst keeping myself wiser and give myself more time away from the phone, I'll make it work
Your contents are underrated. JSYK!! Personally, the only reason I use social media is for work. lol, if it doesn't pay me, I won't waste my time on it. Thanks for sharing bruhv.
I have an idea guys delete all social media and only install it if you have a task to do think of it this way in old times if you wished to contact someone you would write a letter then mail it or if you wanted to research something you have to read books and collect manuscript so treat your phone the same only install it if you have a purpose then once youre done delete it
Deactivated my Facebook yesterday, I tried Instagram but it said I needed try again and to wait 7 days. I just want to get away from it all and better myself. I definitely feel like I got lost in social media, like if there’s no consequences for random stuff you say, I didn’t say hurtful things to anyone, but I did say dumb things. 7 days and I’ll be able to close my instagram for who knows how long. I just want to better myself and focus on the people and things around me.
Yeah honestly there’s a huge lack of community too. After work we should be going to see our friends and spending time with people, not going home to sit on the phone or watch tv.
Taking up new hobbies like working out, reading, enhanced productivity with studies, work, better social communication skills and content with the present moment.
Even being on YT is the same. I spent hours here and I just read the comments. It’s our phone apps. Period. Anything due to entertainment. I’m not talking productive apps or business, etc
This makes a lot of sense as to why I can't concentrate on anything as much anymore.
Me too. I get sick of myself for always reaching for my phone to see what’s posted since the last time I put my phone down two minutes ago.

I probably wouldn't quit social media, but I would take a few days off sometimes. I think that's the best thing in doing it that way, especially when it comes to your mental health.
I've cut down significantly.
I avoid going on social media nowadays. But I go in small doses. But I mostly use to post life updates and message people.
This video was spot on!!! I’ve deleted everything social media besides CZcams
Lately, I've been struggling to find enjoyment in anything. I spend hours scrolling aimlessly and can't seem to muster any interest in playing games. I feel sluggish and unmotivated when I do try to play.
Short videos are proven to be very damaging for your attention span
As we watch this on a short video, the irony is evident.
Ty I have been thinking about not going on social media for awhile now just haven’t go the motivation to do it ty
Thank you for opening up my eyes. I always knew this but this video was the reminder that I needed. I might leave social media and the internet forever but I Subscribed to your channel on the way out. 👍
And it's really no surprise that people's attention span has reduced _drastically._ It's because we get everything ASAP, and we're used to not having to wait. So now, when we *have* to wait or focus on one thing for a longer period of time, we get impatient and frustrated. This is a problem - that at least minimising sm can help or even fix (at least to some extent).
Right! And I'm over 40! Social media sucks you in.I stopped most except Facebook only once a month,period. I feel better
I did it .. and I’m proud of it . A lot of good energy I feel now 👌
So very true…..I have noticed this recently. I have no patience like I use to. I’m quit to end a movie before allowing the storyline to develop
i think I'm overstimulated, thanks for this
ALL THOSE POINTS 100% TRUE
Guys I'm quitting social media and would look forward to improve myself and turn into a top g
Will meet u after a yea or two.
This makes so much sense especially coming from you that’s got a Channel on social media
He is right 100 percent, I would always blame the media I watch taking my fun away.
Does listening to music for hours a day numb the dopamine system?
Yes
No. Brain detoxing is a myth.
@@zillacutz false in fact some music can boost your dopamine..
@@gregoryponds6745 yes, thats exacty why you dumbnut lol, anything that is going to be instantly gratify you and giving you instant pleasure is gonna keep you from your goals
@@gregoryponds6745 ur dopamine should not boost
This is the one thing that i ultimately needed to hear in my few recent years
Who else is watching this at 14 just ready to quit social media
Me
That's true, it almost ruined my sanity, I'm always keep overthinking after i use social media. I'm quitting now. Society needs to watch this video
Personally, whenever I feel like I lost touch with reality or that I’ve been comparing myself to others too much.. I take a break from social media by deleting the apps for a week or two. Do this and you’ll actually feel your mental health improving and you will enjoy life more.
These are the best and relatable words!
I have no friends and the only acquaintances I have are very active on social media. I used to be big into art music and gaming and now I can barely focus on a video game for more than 5 minutes. I want to quit, but I feel like I'll cut off any ability to make friends if I do. And I want to post my art online eventually. How do I go about this?
You can minimise your screen time and dude go out and make some friends
Needed to hear this 😊
Nah bro, while he said "browsing the comments while the video is still playing"
I went to the comment section. 😅😂😢
Just deleted tiktok and got this guy on my YT, cutting down the exposure whilst keeping myself wiser and give myself more time away from the phone, I'll make it work
Your contents are underrated. JSYK!! Personally, the only reason I use social media is for work. lol, if it doesn't pay me, I won't waste my time on it. Thanks for sharing bruhv.
“Maybe you’ve always been happy, but the world, social media and external comparisons have convinced you that you can’t possibly be.”
♥️♥️💫🌟
I have an idea guys delete all social media and only install it if you have a task to do think of it this way in old times if you wished to contact someone you would write a letter then mail it or if you wanted to research something you have to read books and collect manuscript so treat your phone the same only install it if you have a purpose then once youre done delete it
You just described my life. Every example you mentioned was spot on.
I don't and never have had any accounts on social media not even one and I never will definitely not missing anything
Bedankt man dit was het advies wat ik nodig had
I quit Facebook and Instagram and kept LinkedIn and CZcams for educational purpose - one of the best decisions I've ever made in my entire life.
Deactivated my Facebook yesterday, I tried Instagram but it said I needed try again and to wait 7 days.
I just want to get away from it all and better myself. I definitely feel like I got lost in social media, like if there’s no consequences for random stuff you say, I didn’t say hurtful things to anyone, but I did say dumb things.
7 days and I’ll be able to close my instagram for who knows how long.
I just want to better myself and focus on the people and things around me.
This video is insane.. I mean this is exactly what's happening to us.. no one ever said this .. thanks ❤️
This video needs to be shared
Instagram is the worst but i always kept twitter even if it influenced me in a Bad way. Deleting it all now.
I use telegram a bit, but instagram and others are so cluttered with ads and fomo inducing stuff that I quickly get annoyed
I just did. My kids are more important than strangers on social media
Yeah honestly there’s a huge lack of community too. After work we should be going to see our friends and spending time with people, not going home to sit on the phone or watch tv.
Social media can turn into Substance abuse. Hence influencers under the influence influencing.
This is fr I detoxed for 3 days changed my life I’m on social media less enjoy life more
To those who have quit. Now that social media is no longer a part of your life, what has replaced it?
Taking up new hobbies like working out, reading, enhanced productivity with studies, work, better social communication skills and content with the present moment.
Dang this is deep. This is me.
I have wasted my 7 years in social media 😢😢thts so horrible
Day 6. Reading my 6th book today, and it is almost over. I AM NOT GOING BACK.
I READ DUNE IN 2 DAYS! I had been putting that off for years!
There are so much better things than reading a book, come on who reads a book nowadays?
@@sam.9679 I do 🤷🏻♀️
@@sam.9679 lots of people are into books nowadays still. Esp people like us not into social media or netflix.
@@sam.9679 I do! I love books
Thank you, Rob. I'm done. I need to live a real life.
Deleting my insta was the best decision ever made i swear
Even being on YT is the same. I spent hours here and I just read the comments. It’s our phone apps. Period. Anything due to entertainment. I’m not talking productive apps or business, etc
