I have talked to a lot of people who have deleted social media in the past and swear to affect them positively. This of course depends on how much of social media you allow into your daily life. Do you have any experience regarding this topic? What’s your opinions or advice?

I think that’s a great idea, though I lack the self control to follow through on it myself.

I don’t get enjoyment out posting on social media, but TikTok sure does have me in a chokehold. Feel like I can spend hours on it throughout the day without noticing. 

Are you looking to quit social media posting or viewing?

It is very positive, it becomes postive when you let go of that need for you're phone in general, because I don't think deleting social media to instead play games is much better. Just try to maybe set limits, that works for allot and my point is try to use you're phone in general less. For example forget you're phone when you go do something outside perhaps around the house.

Yeah i thought about it too. Try limiting my time on tiktok and insta but it’s addictive
Have tried reading books in the evenings instead

Either delete it or have a friend put screen time restrictions on if you have an iPhone. I’m sure there’s something for android too. I found it much better and I’m not on my phone as much.

I have deleted every form of social media, depending on the person, I found that I spent a lot of time on social media and the first week I found myself reaching for my phone trying to open insta or what not. After that week it really wasn’t that hard, I know social media was meant to share your life and likes with friends and other people but you find that a lot of people really be faking it out there and I found myself falling into that trap trying to make my life look better than what it seemed, then you find yourself comparing your life with other people, which really isn’t good in my opinion. I haven’t been on social media for about four months and I honestly could care less what other people are doing, I’m trying to focus on my life and cherish every moment even if it may be boring at times. Idk why but I like the fact that people don’t know what I’m doing and when they do see me and ask me how I’m doing I can tell them all about it and obviously ask them how they have been. Idk I just feel a little more down to earth in a sense and when you do see people and talk with them it’s not so much small talk and you can really get to talk with them on a deeper level I guess. This posts kind of all over the place and I have a lot more to say just don’t know how to say it

tiktok and insta are really addictive, switch over to youtube shorts and eventually get rid of everything... toxicity is crazy in those platforms
