I don't know who I want to be. Well, I do, but do I really? I want to start a band, but I don't know how to play any instrument, I can't sing and I don't know anyone who would be willing to join. I could always be in a single person band, but I don't know. All I do is spend time in front of a screen, whether it's my PC or my phone. I wanted to have a "no phone summer" but is it even possible for me? I would love to actually do what I want to do, but I can't. I wanna get a flip phone that can't go on the internet or something like that and forget my current phone in a drawer somewhere, but I can't seem to even "forget" my phone for even just a little while. I have books to read, a guitar to play, qnd I actually wanna be there when I do something. I wanna write more, I wanna be able to keep my room clean. One day that I actually do that I feel actually better, but then the next day I will go back to doomscrolling. If it's not Instagram, I will find myself doomscrolling on Pinterest, and when I'll eventually uninstall Pinterest too I fear I will doomscroll on some shopping app or even my mails. I would really love to keep my phone only for texting people and maybe occasionally play one of the few games I have installed on it. I really want to escape from this hell that my phone is, get a flip phone and have no temptations to fall back in this vicious circle. I'm scared for myself.

Am I doomed?

you could start with little steps, for example, instead pf going to Instagram, start to go on Youtube, its less addictive than instagram bc there’s no scrolling (obv DONT use youtube shorts, but long ass videos on youtube)
the doomscrolling will be less invasive. Then try to search some places near you to do some practice or for just eat a slice of pizza
if you have a friend, try to go shopping or to go for a walk after dinner or in the morning
i know that could be superficial, but you deserve a better life and you can start building it by just little steps 🌷
im starting my no internet summer too, so i deactivate my instagram, and i start to use more Spacehey bc is less addictive then other social networks.
Good luck for everything!🎀
