WHY I FINALLY DELETED SOCIAL MEDIA AS A GEN Z....

March 26th, 2021: The day I deleted social media for good. However, it's been a long process and as a Gen Z who grew up on the internet and I wanted to share the process with you. Social media is not all bad, but I think it's more important than ever (after 1 year of being inside) to take a break from TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook.

social media is like a toxic relationship. at first it’s hard to quit but after a while you will realise it’s for your own good.

When my parents said it's all because of that damn phone..it actually was..

what sucks is people are thrown off in dating when you don’t have an instagram or snapchat. it’s like??? why do we revolve around social media

[avaraquel]

I deleted all of my socials last year and literally not one person has reached out to me since lol I only talk to 4 people on a regular basis now and I love it this way .

[akshita]

this is the reason i love pinterest so much its like the media without the social

i deleted social media about two months ago and 90% of my anxiety disappeared :)

idk if this is just me but it feels weirdly dystopian that NOT having social media is considered weird and rare. it’s so so ingrained into our lives- it’s absolutely mind-boggling how dependent our society has been on something that’s so recent - like it’s has a even been around for that long

[Life_of_GD]

Deleting social media has been a LIFE CHANGER for me. I realized most of my self doubt and depressive thoughts stemmed from me comparing my life to other people's best moments...at first I was a little worried about people thinking I had no social media (being a gen z) But then the FOMO faded away and I realized how unbothered and happy I was....THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO DELETE SOCIAL MEDIA...it will change Ur life for the better!!!

EDIT: By social media, I mean insta, FB, tiktok. These platforms are more personal and way more toxic than youtube FOR ME so yeah..

Social media used to be a cool place, especially between 2010 and 2014-2015, but then it slowly became a place that you cannot really feel safe and truly be yourself there, if that makes sense. It was truly a place to have fun and meet new people. Not anymore. Not really.

I've deleted all social media for about 14 months. And everything is better now.

[luniette]

i deleted it like three months ago and i haven’t felt the need to redownload it

I’m glad so many youths are waking up, I only use social media for business purposes.

[jasminelewis]

I want to date someone who doesn’t have social media. People hide too much stuff on their socials

[Justjustice]

My take on social media is if you can’t use it with moderation, delete it. If it negatively effects your mind, delete it. If you leverage it for your business or brand, then that’s okay. But in the end you should be enjoying it but also not allowing it to take over your real life !

2 Years ago I deleted my social media, it made school interaction harder, but it improved my social and communication skills, where I wouldn't look down on my phone every time I'm alone, instead confidently start a conversation with a random stranger beside me.

I swear to god, in 10 years, there will be a societal backlash against social media like there were against cigarettes.

Love seeing young people leave social media. It’s affecting us a lot and we need to rise above it :)

I’m 16 - I deleted my Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok in January. Since then I realized how messed up it is. It’s an addiction that keeps getting worse for everyone. I’ve learned how to live in the moment more now! Also I’ve learned to focus on the people in real life around me and value my time with people and my relationships. Also I feel better about myself - at least more stable. It’s not like I feel bad so I post to get validation and feel worse again. Also my opinions and what I like have become more stable and less influenced by random peoples opinions. I could say much more

I saw someone say with the amount of hours scrolling through short videos, imagine how many books you could have finished and new hobbies tried. I've gotten back into reading daily and its so fulfilling c:
