Quitting social media is easy. I've done it over a dozen times.

SS***:

whenever I went out, I started thinking about what pictures I can take to post on my newly joined Instagram account, just to match the pictures my friends posted. So I deleted the app. felt better.

Jo****:

I'm 16 and I'm thinking about deleting my social media, but all my friends have it but its also having a negative impact on my mental health.

1w****:

I was 29 when I signed up for Facebook and 38 when I quit it. Social media is toxic. I'm 40 now and I don't miss it. Also proud to say that I've never used Instagram.

HM***:

Quit social media. And let's focus on " Now " and enjoy the moment instead of looking at the fake lives of people on social media who are busy showing off and getting depressed.
Sending y'all love and good vibes.

Ka************:

I quite social media because I was constantly comparing my life with the fake lives people portray on social media. My depression is gone and my life is private. I have a few close friends that I stay in touch with. I don't need hundreds of fake friends on fakeface.

CR*******:

I quit social media because I wanted to be more private with my life - I felt like people that didn't even smile at you were more than happy to know your business - it's weird. It's nice that my life is nobody's business!

Ni********:

"treat your attention with respect" i like that

Li**:

Social Media is mental game of seeking attention and validation !

Ro*********:

I deactivated Facebook when I realized that I was using it for the sole purpose of measuring my self-worth against other people's lives, or more accurately, the impression I got from other people's social lives online. I never even posted status updates because it bothered me when people didn't like them. How embarrassing is that? Actually letting something as transient and fickle as an internet 'like' affect your mood and state of mind.

I literally just used to scroll through the news feed and think that the humorous posts were enough to outweigh how shit I felt when I saw people in huge groups socializing while I sat at home alone suffering from anxiety.

What sealed it for me was imagining that time suddenly rewound to ~20 years ago during the pre-facebook/social media era. Would I ever know what most of the 300+ 'friends' of mine on Facebook were getting up to in their lives back then? Would I care? Would I go out of my way to find out? The answer to all of these questions was a resounding no. I'd only care about the people I'm closest to, the people I actually interact with outside of social media.

Maybe I still would've suffered from anxiety back then. I'm not blaming Facebook on my mental illness. But what social media sites like Facebook do is they severely exacerbate any existing anxiety or self-esteem issues.

Be**********:

Facebook is to Friendship as Pornography is to real sexual life.

ch***************:

It's totally true. Facebook has depleted everything that was good.

EK*:

I got rid of social media in 2017. I still wish I'd got rid of it sooner.

Sh***************:

social media has actually helped me bring my dreams to life, i can use it wayyy less though but, i use social media for work etc. i still love this video

Ry*****:

I quit drinking, smoking pot, and social media at the beginning of 2015. I quit drinking because I didn’t want to get a third DUI and become a felon. I quit smoking pot because I couldn’t afford it any longer. I quit social media because I didn’t have anything going on in my life worth sharing. It took me 5 months to find a job(really it was like the job found me) and just two weeks after starting my first job, I was offered another part time job. The part time job turned into a full time job which came with a promotion. A year later I received another promotion. Now I’m the general manager of the business. If I had continued drinking, I’d be in jail or dead. If I had kept smoking pot, I wouldn’t be working anywhere or breaking my back for under the table pay. If I had continued using social media, I would have been subtly ridiculed for the type of work I was doing and in turn ashamed of my life compared to the lives of my peers.
I’m proud of myself and I don’t need anyone from the other side of an app to validate my accomplishments.

Gr******************:

I quitted social media in the beginning of May. The first day was amazing. I did get the urge to install all my social media apps back and not doing it was hard. I had to distract myself so i could think less about checking what was going on with my friends and stuff. After one week, I didn't care at all about social media. I decided to deactivate all my accounts (ig, snapchat, twitter; i have deactived my fb acc years ago). It was like I was reborn lol. I had so much time to invest on myself and on people I love. My focus on the things I was doing had improved. I didn't have any distractions. My mind was focused on the tasks I was doing. My productivity got better and I felt happy because I was doing things faster and better.
It has been a month without social media and it is life changing. You focus on yourself. Your mental health is better. You can start new hobbies. One of the things I started doing is learning things about different countries, thier history, culture, culinary etc. Also I started exercising a lot because you have so much free time. I feel healthier in general. I have time to cook myself a healthy meal, go out and spend time with family and friends, study ( im a student, 20 yo) improve new skills, and many more things. It honestly feels like you get your life back and you control it. It is definitely the best decision I have ever made.
I suggest you do the same. You won't regret it!

Ka*********:

I’m now a 17 year old girl. And I think social media deactivation might make teenagers hesitate and scared at first. “Will I lose friends? Will I get enough attention?” But to me, it was one of the best decisions in my life. Here’s my story: I quit social media three years ago. I used to be obsessed with likes, thought I was worth less when one of my posts didn’t reach popularity and completely shut off my family and some friends who were right in front of me. I slowly realised that I was addicted. My parents would sometimes snatch my phone away from me due to my obsession with social media and my excessive screen time: all I did was scroll mindlessly through instagram! I then started step back a bit and reflected on my actions. I, for one day, shut my phone off and didn’t look at it once. That’s when I started to realise that I merely took photos to post them, not to conserve its memories. That all my actions related to social media were SUPERFICIAL. I looked at my surroundings and found it ridiculous how people were obsessively glued on their phones instead of socialising with there loved ones (ex: in a restaurant). Or when people would take videos on Snapchat and act happy for the duration of the video and then, their expressions change instantly when the video goes off. I thought it was going to be hard at first. Because I felt a kind of relief when I post or go on social media. But let me tell you: deleting Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and others made me happier, made me live in the moment. I didn’t lose any friends, I even convinced some of my friends to stop social media. Instead, people started to respect me more. I was perceived as wise and I overall enjoy my time with friends even more without having the need to take a picture/video of it for social media.
