6 Months with No Social Media | Alex Wilson

After seeing your first video when you deleted instagram and TikTok I decided to delete them too. At first it was tough because I thought I was missing out. But it’s been a journey and now I realize I have gotten closer to God and am influencing my friends towards him thanks!

It's been about 6 months myself, I'm 16, and I deleted all my social media. I deleted my Instagram posts and then posted the gospel, and I haven't been on there since except to tell people I have on there the gospel praise, Jesus! My friends asked me if I got hacked lol, I said YES! BY JESUS!!

Having deleted socials almost a year ago as a teenage Christian, it has been phenomenal to my walk with Christ and not lusting, love this message btw.

I just made it a year off social media, a peace that surpasses all understanding 🙌🏾🙏🏽

Never had tiktok, 5 years no instagram, 2 years no snapchat. I've never been happier in my life

I have struggled with a porn addiction and depression for over 10 years. I realized that on instagram and Facebook there’s so many sexual ads, pictures, etc, that it would lead me to go to pornography and add to depression and anxiety with all the other added side effects that social media naturally gives.

About a month ago I decided to give up social media for these reasons. I noticed the issue and have taken action. Now I rarely even think of pornography or masterbation, and my mental health has been so much better, and have gotten much closer to my wife.

I feel freed. Thank God. I do miss keeping in touch with friends and family though.

I spent almost 11 months without social media. I was only on YouTube on and off. It was worth it. I read over 10plus books

I’ve decided to delete my socials today too. Pray for me, brothers and sisters. I don’t wanna go back to social medias 🥺

Going on 3 years without a social media presence. best thing I've ever done!

I can only truly focus when I delete the social media’s permanently and just work hard. That’s when I make progress . Social media makes me want to share myself, work, places I go for fun, but lately I realized I like to keep all that private

I deleted all my social media in 2018. It's incredibly freeing. I used to spend so much time scrolling through other peoples lives. I used to think that everyone else was happier and more successful than me based on the pictures they posted. After deleting everything, I realized how much I actually have in life and I'm grateful to God every single day.

I just deleted my social media apps too. Thank you for setting the tone!

[carlyerekson]

I kept thinking about getting off social media…I’m definitely starting tomorrow. I’m grateful you did this video. Thank you.

I deleted my Snapchat about a year ago due to it being a snare for my soul, Facebook also is a snare and a trap for my soul, because I’ve also become more and more aware of how the devil will use that as a device against me, so I’ve slowly started staying away from social media. I believe the more I stay away from it the desire will go away and the more I spend time with God and His Word, I’ll want to know who He is and ultimately He is everything, the peace and joy that the world cannot give me but only He can. It’s worth it and it’s completely life changing!

I deleted my FB account in 2015 & I don't have any other socials. I am only in my mid-thirties and often times I feel like I live in a different reality to a lot of people my age or younger. I am not saying my life is better or worse but I certainly feel free. Keep at it. God bless.

[SoliderChristTrent]

I have the 12 pro and deleted all my social media accounts 6 months ago. I’ve been more at peace and don’t care to even reinstall because in that time I grew close to Jesus while breaking free from the matrix 🙏🏽Thanks for the video brother!

[Sunflowergirlk]

I feel like this is confirmation for me. I just deleted mine. I felt as though I was just following a trend of trying to build a platform (nothing wrong with it) but the comparison and seeking validation was like 10x stronger! I already struggle with that and I couldn’t deal with that mess anymore. Always thinking about myself is consuming lol. So now I’m focusing on Jesus. Thanks for you videos!

[joewestphal]

Hey Alex, this video truly helped me. I deleted Snapchat more than a year ago but Instagram has been hard for me. I know why I need to do it and how to overcome it. Thank you for being such a leader for this generation and spreading wisdom throughout the world. I aspire to be able to spread Jesus the way you do.

Careful - for a lot of people YouTube is also an addictive form of social media. It’s ironic when I see videos on YouTube that say “I quit social media” but they’re posting it on social media. Yes, YouTube is probably the least toxic of the platforms, but it can have a similar effect as some of the other platforms.

This was legit a great video though with great points that have me thinking. Thanks for posting - just wanted to comment for others that may still fall into the YouTube trap. Have healthy boundaries on YouTube as well!
