Fighting the brainrot

I finally deleted Tiktok off my phone, which sounds stupid and small but it's actually a pretty big deal to me. I've always realised how addicted I (and most people these days) are to their phone, and specifically short form content. 

Whenever I catch myself doomscrolling to procrastinate doing any real work I feel disgusted with myself. So I'm trying to (step by step) get off social media.

Right now I'm starting with cutting out short-form content. It does nothing but rot your brain, and honestly? I really don't need to know the latest buzz around the Rizzler or the Hawk Tuah girl.

I'm also trying to force myself to get on here instead of instagram or twitter whenever I get that doom scrolling urge, because at least this platform is way less overstimulating. 

I'm really tired of the internet these days, I don't want to live my life behind a screen

Right? I wish there was an option to turn off instagram reels as well, because I mainly use it to message my friends but it's really tempting to doom scroll.

It's sad how much of a grip it has on us

I mean... there is a way. I often caught myself going there when i dint have tiktok anymore so... i just deleted instagram either lol. I wasnt really posting anything there so it was pretty easy for me, much easier than getting rid of tiktok!
