Why I Deleted Instagram And You Need To Also

Deleting instagram saved my sanity. Here's why you must delete it.

I 100% believe instagram is the most harmful social media platform. Some people may think I'm exaggerating, but I really do think instagram is preventing people from living the life they truly want and is making millions of us depressed. I am not a fan of social media whatsoever.

I understand that not everyone relates to my experience with Instagram, but I still wanted to share my story in case it is helpful for someone!

Let me know your thoughts on instagram or the video down below! Thank you guys so much for watching!! 😊💗

instagram is going to be looked back on as the most cringe thing in our history full stop

[Soussand]

I deleted Instagram almost a year and a half ago and it's the best thing I did for my social triggers in 2022.

[JoooKeeeRx]

Instagram fucks you up i hate social media.

I completely agree with everything you said. I'm deleting social media to reset my mind. Definitely was comparing myself which cause massive depression over time

[gurjitshinder]

Absolutely true Andrea, Instagram and other platforms are a total waste of time. I’m slowly distancing myself from them. YouTube is the only one where I look for either help, as yourself, or religious videos. Thank you for your inspiration.

Finally, someone who made a video like this, but who actually deleted their account. You wouldn’t believe how many ‘I deleted my Instagram’ videos there are by YouTubers who STILL post on their instagram

[Jordan-slmo]

I just decided to do a month detox from instagram cold turkey. I already feel so much more optimistic about my life and excited to get back to my goals and hobbies. Its really a huge distraction and like you said its important to have moments of boredom to learn about who we are or what we want in life

If you're close to me, you'll hear about my life from me, not by following my social media or gossiping with others. These are the genuine friendships I wanna cherish, not some weak connections, mere acquaintances and online presence.

You described my exact feelings being on Instagram! I've thought that no likes on a picture made me a bad person. After watching this whole video, I realized that it's not necessarily true.

I deleted Facebook mid 2023 and then Instagram right before Christmas . I feel way more present.

[JS-nhvm]

You are so right. Social media is so toxic and addictive. More people need to realise this 💯

[kylawilliamssss]

i've been debating it for the past month and videos like these keep popping up, definitely taking it as a sign

[kitten]

Yessss!! I'm going to be deleting IG as well since it's honestly pointless imo. I'm trying to be on my phone less and really engaging more with my hobbies, nature, and my friendships

[shanthinidevan]

I just deactivated my account a month ago and I already feel so much better! Don’t think I’ll be going back.

[TheDailyOriginal]

This video really hits home. I did not come from the best and healthiest household growing up. But I never once felt sad or depressed. Since Covid, I feel like instagram provided what you said, outside validation, through likes… but it just made me feel worst and crappy for no reason. I am doing good, this app is just horrible on people.

[Riyaonlive]

“But how will you connect with your friend?” I don’t want to!

[BenIsFiguringitOut]

One more thing: I got better in the last part of 2023 of spending less time online and spending more time reading. I’ve regressed so far in 2024, but I’ll get back to making progress.

[Damnnrosie]

You are completely right. Thank you I was confused. But I realised I should not be indecisive about what I want. On my way to delete my account

I love this! I agree 100%! My mood is constantly depending on how Instagram works for me. It’s so toxic! Unfortunately I make money through Instagram. I get customers from there and I’m trying to figure out how to do it. I wish I wouldn’t need it bc it’s consuming so much time of my day!!

[sussybirb]

Best thing I did for myself to, totally agree with you. I have so much more time for myself now
