Everyday, I ask myself: why am I constantly on my phone when I could do so many other things? Well I know the answer to this question: because social medias are addictive. I think we all know that and should clearly be aware of it if not the case already. The more I talk to people my age, the more I realise we all want to all deactivate our social medias and never come back. But we are so addicted and so used to it, because everything is so easy and accessible so fast and it gives our brain so much dopamine. Why can't we seriously start acknowledging how BAD this is for us, our brains, our relationships, our self-esteem, the way we think, the way we do things, etc. I am a big web 1.0 lover and propagandist and I myself am addicted with social media. Way less than I used to though, but still. Once I start scrolling on instagram, it's over. And I hate it because I realise how bad it is and all the things I could be doing instead!!!! Like reading, dancing, drawing, going out more, learn new languages,.... I used to be so creative and.... I still am but I just don't do anything because procrastinating and staying on my phone all day is SO MUCH EASIER right???? UGHHH. anyways.
I've seen many blogs here about people wanting to go back to flip phones and older phones in general and all I have to say is LET'S. DO. THIS!!! omg like I've also been wanting to do this for a while now but the thing is, because nobody does it or such a mere percentage, it just doesn't happen and it's so hard to get into it. So to the bravest I'd say: go for it..... and this is also an advice for myself LOL. I hope I'm not the only one who also feels this way about all this mess, and when I see all this metaverse and crypto shit it worries me for us, for the next generations and for the planet :(
I don't know if this will work but this is my song of the day!!! Little throwback :)

literally same
i'm so sick of instagram, so many toxicity, so much glitches that never get fixed, and so on...
and that's why i started doing something ab it, since i use only instagram of every toxic popular social media (like tiktok, twitter, twitch etc...) i've decided to throw instagram away (even though i have friends there, i said they can contact me on other socials like whatsapp or sumth)
and i can say that it's working pretty well! now im decticated to spacehey, programming (still learning tho lol) and other hobbies that i have in mind
it goes same for school but i try to study more some subjects that actually fill interest in me
yeah, when i'm away from my laptop, i use pinterest, discord and whatsapp but that's really in a small amount bcs i spend time mostly on spacehey (on a laptop AND on my phone)
also i agree that we should all buy some flip phones or slide phones, or like phones with buttons in general, cuz i see that most of us are tired of social medias and are addicted to it
i want to buy a flip phone but i need to collect some pocket money lol
true true true!!! I wrote this blog a while ago and looking back, taking a break off social media for a few months was the best decision I ever made!!! It helped me control my addiction as well. now i only use twitter like 1 hour a day and I only use instagram to post on my editing account and get inspiration from other editors and I go like only 2/3 times a week for like 15 minutes?
This break truly helped me get a healthier relationship with these social medias, even though I'd truly like to deactivate everything, I hope I will be able to do that overtime, but it's just way much better than it used to be and I'm so grateful that I realized how bad it was and I did something to change that. Whenever I start getting bored or I feel like I've seen everything I needed to see I just quit and do something else.
So much better! I'm glad u can relate!!! ^^
