Does deleting all social media really work for a peaceful life? (1 Viewer)

[brekker]

the only social media I have right now is instagram and I can´t afford to delete it because how would I do my daily 20s :D. I also have to stare at beautiful pictures and cry why don´t I have enough money and courage to travel, but you know...

a lot of people have been talking about how it is so lifechanging to get rid of social media etc. and I wonder whether there is anyone who has decided to live without them or whether you have ever done the "social media detox" or whatever we want to call it.

I must admit I used to have Facebook and deleted it 6 years ago and it did feel like lifting a bit of a negative burden in a sense that some of my "friends" (mostly ex classmates) started posting some odd opinions about things and I wanted to roll my eyes so much I have started being worried whether they might not just stay in the other side of my head. I saw it as an immense help.

Luckily, not many people take Instagram to post their opinions (at least people I know in real life).

I think once you get off social media completely you will notice how bad this place called Earth is

I'm not sure tbh, possibly for some...
But Ive never been dependent or addicted to social media generally, since I grew up most my life without it... I mean i have some but I not sure why I have since I don't really use them for anything...

I think it does as social media addicts are usually people with an unhealthy mindset in some way like Instagram addicts living and dying by how many likes they get or a more general thing is people becoming hostile because social media shows all of the bad and this ends up reflecting in your attitude by making you hostile even if you don't notice it's happening.

i find the idea pretty weird, but i guess it depends how you use them and what kind of life you could have without them. like if you removed them would you spent more time doing sth better? being with ur family, irl friends or doing hobby u always wanted to get into. or would u spent it watching netflix or playing video games all alone without communicating with anyone

I can't answer that question, but I will say it's nice to be off of social media for good.

I sometimes take extended breaks and it does help a bit ngl
