Same I don't like how Pinterest is just a bunch of ads. Every app is blending together 😟

“you don’t need to be the main character of your own life” was an EPIPHANY for me. That sums up the social media attachment in a nutshell because I’m so concerned about how not having a digital presence will affect how other people see me. I’m so glad you’re talking about the problems with social media!!
A woman at my church said to me the other day “my generation can see how much of social media is a lie, but your generation was raised with it and it’s so much harder for you to see it.” I think she’s absolutely right.

Something that helped me in those days was reading, I started reading again, bakery courses and also improving my English 🤭

i’ll be like i have no social media then realize youtube is a gateway drug to the real thing ..

[shalxnda]

I love smaller YouTube channels this is peaceful since you're just in the car

My husband and I got flip phones yesterday! I still have Facebook and YouTube, but only use them on the iPad or desktop so it doesn’t become doom scrolling. Excited to see how this journey goes

I've stopped doomscrolling around fall of last year. Instead of doomscrolling I looked through my old stop motion videos that I used to make on my 3DS and I'd love to start making some more of those.

Volunteering is the unsung hero of ways to spend time. Hobbies, great. But volunteering is so underrated and honestly just overlooked, but it is SO rewarding and genuinely feels so good. If you have the time, it’s absolutely worth looking into, and you’ll be surprised what beautiful experiences come out of it.

I had completely forgotten about the little fun classes at colleges! I took a cake decorating class when I was around 17/18 just for fun. I'm going to have to look into what they offer again.
My current little "fill time" hobby is a sketch book. I have zero talent at that but I'd doodle little hearts or flowers, write quotes, put stickers in it, etc. Definitely not anywhere near an artist level of anything, but it's fun. It helps me especially because I have OCD and having this little book that stuff goes in without rhyme or reason helps me let go of some control.
I'm excited for next weeks video! Loved the intro of this one. 😆

Yes, volunteering for the win! Social media can make you feel really disconnected from other people because it's often very commercialised and fake.

Volunteering really helps combat that fakeness and shows you how we're all connected.

I really liked this video it gave me chill 2016 vibes, currently been off instagram for a while now and the last social left to delte for me is tiktok ! Great content !!!

[gigasus]

social media is great u just gotta stay on the good side and ignore the brainrot 👍 i really like this chill side of youtube though its nice

[loelizabeth]

This has been super helpful to me! As a 35 year mom of a toddler, I found a video you made of quitting your social media and have since made the decision to delete my social media apps. Thanks for the inspiration and tips!

[harmonyscreation]

I love this ! I been scared of that boredom for so long this really encouraged me on my journey with this.

[jordangordon]

Writing, reading, self reflecting, planning and even videogames are way better alternatives to doom scrolling

[oncooldown]

I read the bottles of shampoo like an adult! Now you know my poo secret.

[craneoflores]

Love the chill vibes. You're inspiring me to be more intentional about how I spend my time.

[Familyowned]

I’ve been becoming the best version of myself and have been thinking of deleting facebook which was the only social media left on my phone, and you have inspired me to jump over the hump . I am now officially social media free, besides YT! But like you said, you can control what you watch! You are awesome!!! 👍🏼😎

[ChurlyCheerilee]

For anyone else who's struggling with being addicted to YouTube, try Invidious for desktop web browsing and NewPipe for phones. Both are alternative front-ends that get rid of YT's addictive features (e.g. shorts).

In any case, lovely video. I replaced my time spent on socmed with reading, walking, and making videos.

Girll we gotta connect 😂, After deleting social media from my phone I also use pinterest to gather references for my art haha, it's kind scary how similar we are WHAT? And also with other things you mentioned, we so alike 😂
